He stated last night that he would not

remembered, he was informally nominated
in letter addressed to the editor of The
Ase-Herald by Samuel c, Mead.
Mr.. Allen stated last night that he

however, and numerous people, who will

There is still some speculation as TO

Been Asked to Reconsider
Recent Announcement

That w. D. Nesbitt would be I'M
portuned again to take charge of b.
B. Comers campaign for the governor
ship and that in the end, he would
consent to accept the position. was per-
sistently reported in Birmingham
throughout yesterday
Mr.. Nesbitt. when questioned fol-
lowing his return from business trip
to Montgomery and Mobile, said in
regard to the report: II have heard
nothing of it, He did not state how
ever. whether or not he had been urged
to accept. and he did not state that
he would not accept in the future.
Sometime ago. as is remembered. Mr..
Conner, prior to his departure on a trip
to New York, announced the fact that
he had appointed Mr.. Nesbitt the man
ager of his gubernatorial campaign.
Mr.. Nesbitt on the day following the
announcement issued a statement to
the effect that he had retired from
politics, and that he would not manage
Corners campaign. although he was in
sympathy with the issues for which
Conner stood.
The next report was that John D. Me-
Neel. erstwhile private secretary to
Governor O'Neal, would be put In
charge of the campaign. 1t is now url-
ders6ood, however, that this result will
not obtain, and that quite recently
Mr.. Nesbitt has been urged to recon
slider his first decision.
Yesterday the report was active that
Mr.. Nesbitt with his approval would
be early announced Mr.. Corners CAM

PROTECTION
FORNORWOOD ASKED
McCartin Requests Commits
sion to Station Fire En-
gine There

With plea for better fire protection
on the top of the hill In Norwood,
John McCartin appeared before the
city commission yesterday and asked
that a fire engine be installed in the
Norwood district in order to pump water
to fires on top of the hill, where there
exists a very low pressure.
This district is where a serious fire
resulted July 4 from a toy balloon,
the fire spreading to several residences
because of the lack of water pressure
Mr.. McCartin stated that there were
one or two railroad crossings In thai
neighborhood, which would also have
TO be fixed. because in case of fire they
would either cause great delay in get
ting over them or else a fire engine
would be torn to pieces if 1t went over
at any speed.
lie stated that he did not believe the
district left unprotected by the poor
water pressure was large enough to
warrant the erection of a standpipe,
but that a good fire engine kept in
that neighborhood to pump the water
ideal fire protection. The matter was
passed for further consideration by
the commissioner
A point that was brought up aft
the meeting 10 p.---. s.ts-t~ possi-
bility that under the franchise of the
Birmingham waterworks, that company
may be liable for the loss through fire
where there is not adequate pressure.
The poor pressure In this part of Nor
wood Is caused by the extreme alti-
tude of the property.

FIGHT GENERAL ON

Local Cotton Men Oppose 1t
But General Opinion Is
That Il Will Carry

An Investigation among cotton deal
ers yesterday brought out the informa
ton that the effort to defeat the pro
providing for tax on cotton transae-
tions for future delivery. was not con
fined to Alabama dealers but rather
included all the other dealers of the
south. 1t was learned that an effort
had been made to induce President
Barrett for the Farmers union to en-
dorse the fight although it is under
stood that Mr.. Barrett has declined or
will decline. Ass

that its effect will he confined. prac
tically TO dealers in futures and opera
tors on cotton exchanges Despite this
fact 1t was learned yesterday that
practically all men who deal in cotton,
even to the warehouse man, were op-
posed to the proposed amendment and
were giving support even though II
might be only moral support, to the
fight against its adoption. M
Interviews could not be obtained.
Cotton men told what they believed
to be the facts, but asked that they
be not quoted. 1t was definitely es-
tablished, however, that Senators
BanlShead and Johnston are not the
only senators who have been flooded
with kilograms of protest, as might
have been gathered from the Wash
ington special to The Age Herald yes
terday morning, but that all other
southern senator's. had heard the call,
and senators from other sections had
also failed to escape.
In Birmingham the agreement was
almost general that despite the fight
against the amendment it would be
Isincluded in the tariff bill when the
document was made into law.
