ALABAMA EXHIBIT
 AT BOSTON SHOW
Farm Committee Plans to Have State Represented
 at Pure Food Show

Birmingham and Alabama will have an exhibit at the domestic and pure food exposition to be held in Boston farm movement committee of the Cham Der of Commerce work out as it ap- pears they will. This committee held meeting at the Chamber of Com merce yesterday afternon with every member who is now in the city in at tendance. W. P. Reed is chairman.
 Although an invitation was extended to Birmingham to participate in the exposition in Boston by having an ex- hibit, this city does not want to seem selfish, according to the committee, and accordingly every county in the state will be invited to send an exhibit to Birmingham, which will be sent to Boston, the exhibits being shown in one large booth labeled. Alabama, T each county being separated. Of course, every county in the state cannot be represented and the first one answer ing the letter which Secretary William O. Radcliffe will send out will have first chance.
 The exhibits will be assembled in Birmingham and a Birmingham man
 
 exhibit to explain the many advantages of living in Alabama. Birmingham, of course, will be extensively advertised and it is possible the convention com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce will be right on the job. The New Englanders will be shown what a beau tiful city Birmingham is the advan tages of residing here, and the advan- tages of holding conventions here The hotel facilities will be stressed almost as much as will the fact that Birming- ham is distinctively a city of homes
 It is intended to send in the exhibit products of Alabama soil--cotton, corn wheat, oats. alfalfa, syrup, potatoes oceans and live stock. There will be an information bureau with a Birming ham man in charge, which will dis tribute folders and information of every sort concerning Alabama. Several large maps will be on display. showing the formation of the land and the richness of the soil in this state. The popula- tion by counties will be given and the cost of land in the various counties will be told.
 It is said that there is a great deal of money in New England which is going begging for investment. Ala bama will be pointed out as a good place in which to make investments as well as to make homes.
 The farm movement committee of the chamber is very enthusiastic about having the exhibit at Boston and Secre- tary Radcliffe will get busy immediate ly sending out the letters to the vari- ous county boards of revenue. Sev- eral directors of the Chamber of Com merce have expressed themselves favor ably to the project and when the farm movement committee reports favorably on the matter there Is litle doubt but that the directors will authorize MT Radcliffe to proceed along the lines laid down.

FARLEY HERE ON
 PRIVATE BUSINESS
Mediator in Colorado Strike Situation Appeared in City
 Unexpectedly Monday

William R. Fairley one of the mediators
 of the Colorado strike problem, appointed
 by President Woodrow Wilson, was home
 to get some local data which might have
 a bearing on the Colorado situation. Mr
 Fairley explained his visit to Birmingham m
 by saying that he was granted 10 days
 leave of absence from the Colorado media
 tion work, and utalized that time to come to Birmingham. He called on Joseph O. Thompson, the local bull moose leader, at
 tine latter's residence on Eleventh avenue, south
 MT. Fairley. it is stated, conferred with various persons here Monday, and left yesterday morning for Washington. It
 was stated at his residence last night that he would leave the capital for Den yer about Saturday or perhaps earlier. The presence in Alabama of William B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor in the cab inet of President Wilson. and Mr. Fairley at the same time was not significant, ac- cording to an explanation given at his 1 home. It was stated that MT. Farley did not come here with the labor depart
 ment chief. who made an address at Tus- caloosa yesterday.
 The statement was made by Mir Fairley, Jr., that his father did not come home
 on personal business It was added that
 no one here was qualified to speak about the reasons for his trip except that it was on account of the 10-days' leave of ab- sence.
 When asked if MT. Farley, Sr., was op- timistc about the outcome of the Colo rado trouble, it was stated at his home that he did not make any mention of the Colorado trouble hence no conclusions were to be drawn. MT. Fairley left here for Washington at 9:3O o'clock yesterday morning.

than in previous years. There seems to be a determination, however, on the part of the leaders of both factions to get in liner preparatory for possible over turn of the democratic national admins tration.
 In the Seventh district, the only district where anti-democrats have ever been able to make a showing, 10000 men voted April 6, and most of that number will remain faithful, it is believed, to their pledges taken when casting their ballots. Amos Goodhue of Gadsden has stated that he would not oppose the democratic nominee. Sumter Cogswell of Pell City, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate, IS being advised by his warm friends. among them the Pell City Progress. not to run.
 B0wron or Ramsay
 Anti-democratic leaders have acquired an idea that the followers of Captain Hob- son are sore because of his defeat by Oscar w. Underwood. They anticipate that as the majority of progressives'' who entered the democratic primary sup ported Hobson. many prohibitionists will abandon the democratic fold rather than support Underwood, who does not stand with them in favor of nationwide prohi- bition.
 Their hope is further supported by the fact that the Seventh district has always contained a strong minority of repub- lican voters. They are hopeful that the Ninth district will rebuke the democratic party because this manufacturing district has been injured, according to their con- tention,, as result of tariff reduction. A
 It is believed that anti-democrats will endeavor to secure the. nomination of a well-known Birmingham manufacturer, either James Bowron or Erskine Ramsay. They would expect their candidate to draw strength from democratic ranks on ac- count of his personal popularity.
