TUSCALOOSA WANTS
ARMOR PLATE PLANT
Board of Trade Will Discuss
Proposition at Meeting
Monday

Tuscaloosa, July 20 Especial. )-Tus-
caloosa will make a mighty effort to
locate. the proposed sS,00O,00 steel ar
NOR plant of the United States gov
ernment here, and to this end the
board of trade will work Monday even
ing, when the matter will be thor
oughly considered and immediate steps
toward securing this mammoth bust
ness will be taken.
Tuscaloosa is an ideal place for the
proposed plant, owing to the fact that
1t has every necessary ore supply in
close proximity with the water supply
that is essential to the making of
steel The board of trade with other
prominent business men are most en-
thusiastic over the proposition, and
neither effort or money will be spared
in letting the government know of
the great advantages to be found in
Tuscaloosa.
Raw materials in abundance, unlim-
tied water supply and cheap trans
portation make Tuscaloosa almost log
ical place for manufacturing interests.
The Tuscaloosa Water companv is
installing a new liberation plant cost
ing in the neighborhood of $4,000,
which will be ready for use August
and will give to this city 5000, 600 gal
Ions of pure water daily.

nave characterized the week In politics.
the situation has clarified 10 some extent
The voters of the state are beginning to
concentrate their attention. and whether
Willingly or otherwise, are being forced to
recognize the fact that they are in the
midst of political campaign. The va
aous county papers are TO some extent
responsible for this awakening of interest
for the weekly papers are now giving
much attention to politics, are discussing
in their columns leading issues of the
campaign, and are already forecastlng re-
suits.
Conner and Anti-Comer
Editorial comments of these papers are
largely to the effect that the state is
either Conner or anti-Comer: that the man
who represents the strongest antf-Gomer
sentiment will receive that vote, regard
less of the number of candidates. Thfs
opinion is not only expressed by the lead
ing weekly papers of the state, but is
likewise shared by politicians.
The opinion also prevails that before
many months have passed the race for
viii be between Charles Hender-
son of Troy, president of the state rail-
road commission, and former Gov. b. b.
Conner, although 1t is admitted that Capt
Reuben F. Kolb, Walter D. Seed and John
III. Wallace, Jr., are making strong
fight.
Mr.. Henderson is believed to be gaining
strength In all parts of the state, and his
friends declare he viii be elected. He has
engaged several offices in the Bell build
ing here for campaign headquarters, and
his managers are busy sending out liter
ature to the voters of the state.
1t is announced that Mr.. Conner will aIs-
establish headquarters in the Bell build
ing, and that he will open his offices
probably by the middle of August or Sep
tember ]. Captain Kolb has offices in
the First National Bank building

Rumor of Another Candidate

During the past few DAYS there has been
rumor in official circles to the effect
that another candidate will enter the race
for governor, though for some reason his
name is being withheld. At first it was
thought that the new candidate might be
X. E. Spraggins of Huntsville. but it is
declared that Mr.. Spraggins has aban-
doned the idea.
Governor O'Neal has thus far had moth
ing to say about the campaign or about
any of the candidates. An effort to get an
expression from the governor as to the
political situation resulted in failure The
governor declared he had nothing to say !:
that several of the gentlemen In the race
We're particularly good friends of his, and
that he preferred not to give any interview
on the sitaution at this early stage of the
campaign, or to take any part in the fight.
The governor declared, however, that he
expected another announcement for gov
ernor, bun he would not give the name of
the prospective candidate

Three new announcements for state Of

A. Graham of Autauga county declared
forrtreasurer, and his announcement was
quickly followed by that of Judge r. L.

the convict department, announced for
commissioner of agriculture. Other an
nouncements for state offices will prob
ably be made next week, one of which
will be that of William l.. Martin of Mont
gomery for attorney general.
1t seems certain now that the race for
associate justices of the supreme court
will assume a great many interesting
phases before the campaign is over. Both
Judge Edward de Graffenried and Judge
James J. Mavfield win stand for re- cleo
tion, and indications are that there will
be several other candidates, two of whom
will probably be from Montgomery. These
are Judge Armistead Brown of the city
court here and Judge William II. Thomas,
former judge of the city court. There are
