WOODS CANDIDACY HELD
AS A MONUMENTAL JOKE

The candidacy OF Mr.. Wood has never
been seriously considered 1t has been
regarded in the ma ture of joke or
prank of very young man, who,
in the bouyancy of inexperience, con =
cludcd that he had received call to
cleanse the world of all its iniquity.
He is a socialist. with sociaiistic ten
dencies and beliefs. and as such in an
effort to be sensational. has played, on
the one hand, on the prejudices of a
certain strata of society, and to the
galleries on the other.
Were he not a socialist were he 9TH
er than-a very young and Inexperienced
individual, the fact that he, While re-
corder of the police court. put behind
the bars number of little boys for
q most petty and inoffensiNe misde-
meanor would have been sufficient to
have stamped him as one without this
temperament which is essential in
worthy public servants.
During the campaign he has en-
tertained his inconsequential follow
Ing with countless speeches, TO which
none save his following paid atten-
tlon.

MR.. ALLEN STRUGGLED
AGAINST BIG HANDICAPS

Mr.. Allen has been a vigorous can :
didate and has carried his campaign
fearlessly into every section of the
city. He has labored under the seri-
Gus handicap, however, of being a law
yer. 1T was realized in the beginning
of his fight that should he be success
full the commission would be composed
exclusively of men trained for the legal
profession and therefore might be con-
sidered as theorists In government,
Whereas there was the greatest need
for the presence of practical busi-
ness man, one with experience in Inu :
! nicipal afafirs.
His lack of experience in municipal
Affairs. has been another serious han
Heap against which Mr.. Allen has
Striven. For the people, having found
considerable fault with the conduct of
the city's business since he iuaugur-
alton OF commission form of govern
ment had reached the conclusion that
most critical moment had arrived,
that the crisis. as a matter of fact,
had come, and that the election of a
Well rounded, we'll posted business man
and one with practical experience, was
the only means by which q great pub
lie calamity could bc obviated.
1t Is generally thought that these
handicaps may be held responsible in
the event of his defeat tomorrow

PRACTICALLY CERTAIN
THAT WARD WILL WIN

The campaign has been lifeless. SAi-
Ward has not made a public appear
ance. He has written letters and has
published a pamphlet setting forth his
record as mayor of Birmingham. Mr..
Allen and Mr.. Wood in addition to
writing letters, have delivered cam
paign speeches. Very little enthusi-
as1n, however. for any candidate has
been aroused.
The lack of interest is attributed
chiefly to the fact that 1t has always
been considered a foregone conclusion
that Mr.. Ward would win. There was
an unmistakab1e call for him to enter
the field as a candidate. This call came
from what was probably a majority
of the people of Birmingham, the ma
5Ority which desired real business
man at the head of municipal affairs,
one who understood the problem of
finances, the great problem which has
always confronted the city and is now
occupying the stage as the only seri-
GUS handicap to the continued marvel
Gus growth and development OF Bir-
mingham.
When Mr. Ward answered the cla-
NOR by announcing that he would be a
candidate, the great majority of the
people instantly admitted the belief
that he would be elected and there
upon lost all interest in the cam
paign.,

Montgomery, September 13.-(Spe-
cial. What is considered among lead
Ing politicians Of Montgomery as the
most significant development in the
gubernatorial campaign since the race
began is former Gov. b. B. Coraers
promise to leave unchanged the present
solution of the liquor question in Mo-
bile county
The interview of Harry r. Hartwell
of Mobile, printed in The Age-Herald,
furnished the first positive information
received in this city of Mr. Comers
position on the liquor question, with
the result that the interview has
ELECTED q large variety of comment
In official circles expressions of sur
prise have been heard on many sides.
1t was generally known that Mr. Co.
mer had on several occasions declined
to make any public expression of his
position on the liquor question, hence
1t was believed that he would be too
astute politician to give an express
sion of his views in writing.
The effect of Mr.. Comer's promise to
the editor of the Mobile Register to leave
tiie SITUATION uncHhnSeu IN MODlle county
will have strong tendency to cause the
former governor to take a positive stand
either for or against local option, ac-
cordng to the belief of many people in
this city. They maintain that Mr. Conner
will find 1t exceedingly difficult to retain
the friendship of both the local option and
the prohibition faction even in Mobile
county, where he seeks to make the rail-
road question his leading issue. Local pol
iticians are therefore, anticipating that
Conner will find it necessary to make eer-
tain explanations setting forth more clear
ly and more fully his views on the liquor
question.
Gubernatorial Campaign
With the exception of Mr.. Comer's dec
laration with reference to the liquor
question in Mobile county, there have
been few new developments in the suber-
material campaign during the past week.
The various candidates and their CAM
paign managers have been active, and op-
timism is inspiring all of them to make
rather extravagant claims.
Reports are being daily received at

ALLEN MAY CARRY
THE ENSLEY PRECINCT

1t is generally admitted that Mr..
Ward will sweep that territory which
was Birmingham prior to the annex
alton of the suburbs. 1t is generally
Believed that he will carry all the
suburbs with the possible exception OF
Ensley, where Mr.. Allen may be able
to secure a plurality.
To prevent Wards excess of votes
from becoming a majority Mr. Allen
and Mr.. Wood have exerted themselves
during the week just gone They have
made 1t apparent that in their opinion
Mr. Ward was the strongest of the can
dfdates. An interesting feature Of the
campaign has been that Mr.. Allen has
not considered Mr.. Wood. and Mr. Wood
has paid little attention to Mr.. AL
len. As result the bulk of the at
tack of each has been directed against
Mr. Ward.
In case the excess of votes which
Mr.. Ward Will receive tomorrow does
not comprise a majority there will be
. run-off election Monday week. In that
election Mr.. Wards rival will be Mr.
Allen.
As has been stated, the Indications
are that there will be no necessity for
4 second election. If Birmingham prop
er polls its full strength Wards cleo
tion is considered a certainty.

MONROE GUILTY; TWO
 MORRISONS Ok CASE
Another Opium Case Occupies Broth CT Attorneys Bob Morrison Ap
 pears for Chinamen.

An hour on the stand, during which time he denied pretty nearly every thing that had been brought up against him, availed J. M. Monroe nothing. He was found guilty in federal court of having in his pos session articles from an interstate freight shipment. He will be sen tenced today.
 Monroe denied having had anything to do with the stolen goods. He would only agree to one point made by the prosecutiOn-the detail of his arrest with Earl Harris, whom he denied knowing.
 For the second time the federal court will be entertained with the spectacle of two brothers opposing each other before the bar. They are Bob and Joe Morrison. Bob Morri son appeared yesterday for Lee Doc and Charlie Fong at the arraign- ment of the two Chinamen, and if the case gets to trial, which is likely the two brothers will have the op- portunity of pitting their strength against each other.

In the 1O-inch corset the bust is very low, the 11-inch length has bust one inch higher, the skirts of both being the same length. The elastic sections at sides and back are so placed as to hold the lower portion of the corset very closely and allowing suf- ficient expansion for comfort in walking, and when seated.

Mary CholmondeIeys latest novel After AL begins in Vol. 1, No. 1, of Women's Stories; it is novel that would distinguish any magazine; but heading the bill, as it does, in a fiction magazine for women, it sets a note of sanity and wisdom that is intended to be characteristic of the new publication. After AlP' is the story of a fine, high minded girl, so straightforward that it never even occurs to her to do the obviously expedient thing. The scene open in Paris. and the action that develops after the first episode takes place in a quaint but stirring English place. The story has charm. and that rare thing, real style; all of which would matter little if the story did not hold ones interest as it does.

the only program, it is declared, on
which real harmony can be secured.
A local Shawnee county organiza-
ton will be formed Thursday night.
Following this meeting, the organiza-
ton will be extended to other coun-
ties of the state. With the young vot-
ers declaring for new leaders and the
elimination of the old ones, it is
claimed that the movement will carry
much weight in settling party differ
ences before the opening of the 1914
campaign. The call for the National

of every young Republican or Pro-

willing to surrender the old leaders
for the sake of real harmony. Off

FACE new DANGER
People of Dayton Threatened
With Sickness Epidemic.
Streets Are Uttered With
Bodies of Dead Animals.
SEWER SYSTEM DESTROYED
Wide Discrepancy in Estimates
of Lives Lost.
Latest Reports Range From $50
to 500 Dead.

Dayton, March 29.-Dayton awoke
this morning wondering if the latest
estimate of the number of its dead, as
a result of the flood, was accurate.
With 80 bodies recovered and with
nearly every section explored by life
saving crews and newSpapermen, early
estimates of tremendous loss of life
had been cut to $50 or 200. After a
meeting of seven-eighths of the un-
dertakers of Dayton last night, it was
announced that a concensus of opin-
ion at the meeting was that 500 were
dead. Those men said they based
their estimates merely upon general
conditions and Dayton citizens today
renewed efforts explore every recess
of the city to ascertain if their reck-
oning was correct. As most of the
hemmed in sufferers had been provid
ed with food yesterday, no effort was
made to work the flooded area last
night but with the coming of dawn
large rescue parties were out to sue
cor the sufferers and recover the dead.
Not knowing yet how great is her loss
in number of lives, Dayton already
faces a serious situation. The sewer
age, gas and water systems have
been destroyed. Thousands of dead
animals are lying about the streets.
Two fertilizer firms began today to
gather these animals.

of commission since Tuesday morning,

GAINESVILLE Business Men Place Dam
ages at $1O,OOO,OOO.

GAINESVILLE, o., March 29.-Notwith-
standing that flood waters receded
about four feet last night, making a
total recession of about nine feet, all
the districts flooded are still under
water except two square miles of the
business district. Business men esti-
mated the loss here as high as ten
millions.
The only business buildings which
have entirely collapsed are the Nun
son stores and the Indianapolis Brew
ing company.
Many residences were destroyed.
Known drowned number five. The
exact number of dead will not be
known for several days.
The war department at Washington
has been asked for a million dollars
appropriation. The subject has been
taken up for the city by Governor
Cox. A morgue has been established
at the armory. AS soon as the waters
have gone down far enough to permit
a search for bodies, the corpses found
will be taken there. Food stations
have been established. Provisions,
however, are being distributed only
to flood sufferers. The town is still
under martial law. Four companies
of the State National Guard have
taken every precaution against 1ooting.
In addition all caved-in streets and
sidewalks are we'll guarded
