REPUBLICAN GAINS ENTIRELY NATURAL AbercrOmbie Says Returns Reflect No Discredit on
 President Wilson

John W. Abercrombie, former presi- dent of the University of Alabama, and now congressman at large, while in Birmingham last night. resented the intimation of nti-administration fac tors that the startling gains by re- publicans in the elections of last Tues day reflected to the discredit of the President of the United States
 "Argument to that effect" he con- tinued, "is absurd. The republican gains were due simply to the reama1- gamation of the republicans and the progressives. There are in Congress to- day a great many democrats elected from normally strong republican dis tricts on account of the split in that party. It was generally understood that as soon as the split was healed democrats would be defeated.
 ''Mr. Wilson deserves no censure and has received none from noteworthy sources As matter of fact, he is stronger than his party and hts party is strong. There is little question but that he will be the nominee in 1916 If any democrat can win. he can, and party leaders will insist that he make the fight In other words. they are go- ing to take no chances"
 In regard 10 hls own IutuIe the con gressman was reticent- He stated, however, that. like the gentle Micaw- Der, he is waiting for something to turn up." For if the state is redistrict- ed he will be without 6 job two years hence and will doubtless enter the race for the Senate. If. however. the leg islature, on account of sharp differ ences on the part of its members. agrees to permit conditions to remain as they are and a congressman at large to remain as an institution, he will ask for recollection two years hence.
 While pr. Abercrombie did not so express himself. it was gathered from his remarks that he would be satisfied if the legislature should make the of flee of congressman at large perma- nent.

SOME EARLY GLIMPSES
 AT NEXT LEGISLATURE
MT. Thompson of Baldwin
 Will Be One of Three Youngest Members and
 One of the Most Active
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Whenever a new house Is organized there is more or less interest in find ins out who is the youngest member Of the next house, there will be three very young men The youngest of all will be Fred F'ite of Tuscaloosa. The oldest of the three 'babies will be Isadore Shapiro of Birmingham. The man in the middle will be Ira B. Thompson, who will represent Baldwin county. Mir. Thomp- sor was born April g, 1889. He has lived all his years In Bay Minette.
 It is not always a misfortune to be so young. For it Invariably happens that the young member is among the most ambitious. He knows nothing of the ease with which the more experienced idle away their time. and while so doing, very cleverly fool their constituents. In the last session Bart Chamberlain of Mobile was a very young member And yet he was one of the most active. He accomplished much, too for his county and the state.
 The three ''babies of the next session will be live wires. Fite and Shapiro. both of whom have figured in this column, are unusually bright young men. MT. Thompson, according to indications, will Dc able to hold his own If promises bear fruit, who knows but that in short time it will be impossible through the operation of a constitutional amend ment, to elect member of the legisla- ture who Is more than 25 years of age?
 MT. Thompson was educated at the Mo ridian Male college and at the University of Alabama. He Is a Methodist and a democrat. hut he is neifher married nor a member of secret orders. He Is en- gagged in the abstract business. His polit- teal views in the main are sane. On the Iiquir traffic, he has nothing to say. He

 is opposed to female suffrage and the chances arc that he will ever remain i'm pregnable to the wiles of Mrs. Funk. He believes in retrenchment. He would abolish jury commissions and tax com missions, and all other commissions and jobs which are not absolutely essential, and which may have been created in order that political obligations might be discharged.
 Better education, taxation and good roads will be subjects of greater im- portance than any other, Tn the opinion of MT. Thompson, for the consideration of the legislature. He desires the immediate elimination of the convict lease system He is an avowed enemy of the fee sys- tenn. He Is in favor of calling a constitu- tioDal convention. He will support bill having for It's purpose the creation of a public utility commission to have gen. eral supervision over public utility cor porations of the state.
 He promises to make an unusually seryiceable member.

 It is assumed here that the Amer ican owners of the Kroonlands cop per would be represented at the prize court, but if they are not the Amer ican consul will go before the court as an observer. If the decision is ad- verse to American interests a protest may be lodged with the state depart ment. The ruling Is expected to form a precedent which will have an im- portant bearing on all contraband cases arising during the European war
