Citizens Urged To Go TO The Polls
Tomorrow And Vote For Bond Issue

Tomorrow the voters of Birmingham
will authorize the erection of people 5
auditorium.
The result of the election, it is generally
admitted, is not in doubt. The ballot to
be voted on calls for municipal bond is
sue of 100000 to finance the erection OF the
building and purchase of the site. AT the
recent election for city commissioner, the
voters registered their wish by over to l
majority in favor of holding the election
on the bond issue tomorrow.
For that reason the result of the cleo
ton would seem foreordained. While the
opponents of the bond issue may go to
the polls In force and the nearly 5000 men
who voted for 1t last month may not all
cast their ballots, at the same time it Is
considered almost impossible that enough
of the 5000 voters will stay away from
the polls to change the result of the cleo
ton.
Sentiment at Banquet
At the Underwood banquet Friday night
at the Hotel Hillman the temper of the
public in general was Enthusiastically dem
onstrated on the auditorium question and
the incident was the subject of much
comment about town yesterday. During
the welcoming address of President j. e
Shelby of the Birmingham Board OF
Trade he said:

Darden Is Active and Will Pole Huge
Vote in Blount-Now Believed
the List of Entries Is
Complete

The candidates for the congressional
berth which Mr.. Underwood will sur

term will make their first public speeches
this week. The opening fire will be deliv-
cred at Oneonta, In Blount county. where.
incidentally. many other epoch making

ing. The occasion will be the opening of
circuit court.
Nathan IL. Miller and Jere C. King will
speak Monday morning and George C.
Huddleston will follow with an address
Tuesday morning. 1t is considered prob
able that George W. Darden, the Blount
county candidate. will also deliver an ad-
dress. Mr.. Darden was in Birmingham
yesterday, and declared that the people
of Blount were prepared to go down the
line for him.
The campaign, up to the present time,
has been overshadowed by the interest
conferred in the preliminaries to the strug-
gle between Congressman Underwood
and Hobson for the Senate. From tomor-
row it is destined to grow warmer"
Entries Are Completed
There is every reason to believe that the
list of entries is complete. There is still
occasional talk of DR.. r. NJ. Cunningham
and Thomas T. Huey but the consensus
of opinion seems to be that neither the
Ensley nor Bessemer representative will
become a candidate.
Mr.. Darden. who is a member of the
legislature is the only entrant who is
not resident of Jefferson county. His
only hope Of election is in polling a solid
vote in Blount, and in securing a di-
vision of the strength of Jefferson among
the three sons of this county. He stated
while In Birmingham yesterday that he
was very hopeful. He is confidently rely
ing on receiving the great bulk of the
vote of Blount FIe stated that he would
make a man to man canvas In Jefferson.
The local candidates have been conduct
ing an active though "still'' campaign.
Each is counting ON big vote in Jeffer-
son, and is gaining more than his share
of the votes in Bibb and Perry, neither Of
which counties has candidate.
Miller SECURES Lead
Up TO the present time the general inn
preston seems to be that Mr.. Miller has
got off in the lead with Mr.. King in sec
ond place. Mr.. Miller has done more
work than either of his competitors. He
has recently completed a tour of Blob
county. He visited towns in the northern,
central and southern portion. Yesterday
he said

nent leaders in each town / visited ex-

CONTRACTS INVOLVED IN
GRANITE CUTTERS STRIKE
More Men Go Out, but Associa-
ton Still Refuses to Give
SIS for Eight Hour Day.

All the contracts Of the Granite Manu-
facturers Association were involved in the
strike OF the granite cutters yesterday.
which has extended from the yards near
the Cypress Hills, Salem Fields and
Mount Zion cemeteries 20 most OF the
buildings throughout the city where gran
tie is used. and TO the yards throughout
greater New York. The monumental
yards near Greenwood and Holy Cross
cemeteries are not affected up 10 the pres
ent but it was said on behalf OF the as
ISOLATION. the members OF which have the
greater part of the granite contracts. that
the tying up OF the monumental yards was
only a small incident in the strike, which
is now very extensive.
The strike is to enforce general de-
mand for an increase in wages from 50 80

Manufacturers Association refused. W.
- Arnold and J. L. Dutton. president and
secretary. respectively, OF the association.

II was stated last evening by a repre-
sentative Of one OF the largest firms in
the association that when the wages were
fixed at 81 90 a day for eight hours the
manufacturers. considering the competi-
ton in other cities and at the quarries.
where wages are a great deal lower than
in New York. decided that they had
reached the limit.
The present was not a good time. he
said. to strike for higher wages New

present as far as Office buildings were con-
cerned. He said that number OF years
ago the Legislature passed law by which
all granite for municipal work in this
state must be cut In the state. but the
courts later declared this law to be un-
constitutional. The law providing that the
prevailing rate Of wages be paid for all
work done by tho municipality still ap-
plies 10 this city. The unions take the
stand that the latest union rate is the pre-
vailing rate. The prevailing rate law ap-
plies mainly to construction work.
