The former governor of Missouri, who,
through his constructive legislation, made
a nationwide reputation, and who is at
the present time in Birmingham, is not,
despite the above excerpts, negative
character
He's a good talker He favors commits
sion form of government. He does not
share the fright which several politicians
profess to have in regard to the trouble
with Japan. He thinks the Underwood
tariff bill good document in his opin-
ion il will take the graft out of the tariff
He observed:
"Mr Underwood is endeavoring to pro-
tect the people from monopoly instead
of monopoly from the people. The only
purpose of high protective tariff is TO
stifle competition. Alabamians have just
reason to be proud of Mr.. Underwood >
Governor Folk then remarked concern
ing the rapid growth of Birmingham. He
was waxing eloquent in regard to the
city when some one informed him that
there would be political speaking in
progress within the next few hours.
Stamina of Alabama Politicians

snapped the Missourian.
When informed that it was now judged
too early to name the date of the pri-
mary, but that candidates were at the
present time making from one to four

And Alabama might be canvassed in a
couple of months? Do they so over the
field time and time again.
The governor was deeply Interested.
"Ah, well.'' said he, politics will soon
become serious rival of baseball"
SKINNED Over Certain Subjects
Governor Folk plainly displayed his
aversion to discussing female suffrage
and the liquor question. He plainly stated
that votes for women was not one OF
his issues. He intimated very plainly
that he favored local option with the
county as unit although he did not In
words commit himself. He did state that
conditions in birmingham were much
more satisfactory in his opinion than con-
ditions in large centers in Georgia and
Tennessee.
He gave an interesting account of Will
sons appearance before Congress.
II was there" stated he. THE Presi-
dent entered. No man moved a muscle
1t was a most dramatic scene-the ap-
rearance of a President before Congress
for the first time in a century. Wilson
was smart, too. He spoke for only a
few minutes. Otherwise, someone might
have asked question, or done some
thing else to produce a climax"

CONTRACTS FOR Z
ENGINES AWARDED
Board of Works Decides to
Pay $16,614 For H. 0.
& r. Engines.

The board of works this morning
awarded the contract for the two
engines for the light plant to the
Hooven, Ovens, Rensselaer, Engine
company of Hamilton, Ohio, the total
cost of both engines being $16,614
installed complete at the light plant.
The engines which were purchased by
the board are known as the Hamilton
Corliss engines and the board believes
that these are the most satisfactory
for several reasons for the city light
plant
The three engines considered by the
board were the Nordburg, Rice and
Sergeant and the Hamilton Corliss. In
the trip of inspection which was made
by Howard Gluys, engineer Of the light
plant, it was discovered that the Nord-
burg engines had several Objectionable
features for which reason the engine
was not wanted for the local plant.

get repair parts for the engines if at
any time repairs were needed.
The bid of 1864 was not the low
est bid presented, the bid of the Nord-
burg company being $2,279 lower The
accepted bid was 81 1901 lower than the
nearest other competitor. The bid of
the Allis Chalmers company was in a
lump form for engines and generators
and for this reason could not be &C
cepted.
The board met this morning to
award the contract for the generators
but were not able to decide which one
would be more favorable to the local
situation. A special meeting was call
ed for o'clock this afternoon at
which time the contract was awarded
to the Westinghouse Electric company
The delay was caused by the two
companies bidding for the contract to
install the generators, introducing the
question Of excitation, each trying to
show that its generator was less ex-
pensive than the other company's ma
chine. The total cost of the two gen
orators is $685., erected complete
The competing company was the
