BIRMINGHAM NEWSPAPER CLUB GIVES MOST SUCCESSFUL
BANQUET AND ENTERTAINMENT IN ITS HISTORY


It was printed as if the day of elections
had passed. Conner had been chosen gov
ernor, and his legislature had put the
Louisville and Nashville railroad out of
business, had established statewide prohi-
bition and had given women the right to
vote; George Huddleston, by the votes of
the women, had defeated Culpeppeh Exum
for commissioner. A story from Washing
ton gave the news that President Wilson
had instructed his Attorney General to
dissolve the trust in restraint of trade
formed by the Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power, the Tidewater, the Ala
bama Interstate Power and the Kelley
companies.
The front page contained cartoon rep
resenting women at the polls bearing ban
ners urging the people to support Hud-
dleston. The lead story concerned the
election of Huddleston, and 1t was stated
that the women refused to leave the polls
following Exum ruse of a bargain sale in
fouards because of Huddleston's habit
of drinking catnip tea.
Edtorially. The Broiler freely discussed
all these questions in trenchant style, but
did not debate the merits of a fistcuff
between Frank p. Glass and James J.
Smith, recounted on the front page, which
was alleged to have grown out of a dis
pute as to whether the News or the Led
ger had the more subscribers at Toadvine.
