Other Races for State Offices

There have been few new developments
in the other races for state offices. al
though all the candidates are displaying
greater activity than at any time since
beginning their campaigns. Thomas r..
kilby of Admission has been picked as n
certain winner In the race for lieutenant
governor. and there seems to be hardly
doubt of his election. The campaign
of Thomas A. Curry of Clanton has not
created the enthusiasm which the friends
of that gentleman had anticipated, prob
ably due to the fact that he was late in
announcing his candidacy, and il reports
are to be credited Mr.. kiby will receive
the nomination by a sweeping majority

Protest Against Limitations

A great protest went up from all over
the country at the proposed limitations
placed upon the postoffice department in
the postoffice appropriation bill, The par
eel post has struck a popular chord. The
people approve it, and probably no other
departure from the old hard and fast,
or standpat policies, of the government
by the Introduction of progressive prin-
ciples and enacting them into legisla-
tion, has SO appealed to the people as
the parcel post
The benefits from the parcel post are
tangible and self-evident. Moreover, they
accrue to the great mass of the American
people, and the system sprang into i'm
mediate popularity.
Senator Banlxhead denies emphatiealy
that ii is the purpose of the committee
on postoffice and postroads to hamper
the parcel post. The senator insists that
the committee fully appreciates the great
need of the parcel post system. and the
benefits that the people are enjoying from
the Inauguration of the system. He de-
clares, however. that he believes 1t the
part of wisdom to proceed with caution in
the matter and first ascertain fully
whether or not the government is making
money or losing money by the operation
of the system

Henderson in Second Place

The strongest candidate against Mr..
Conner seems to be Charles Henderson,
Mr.. Henderson has always been recog,
nized as formidable candidate. and this
belief has been more than confirmed dur
ing the past few weeks. He has in
jected so much new life into his cam
paign since he began his speaking tour
that his friends are more than hopeful
of his chances. His supporters do not
entertain a single doub. of his ability to
win second place many of his adherents
being so optimistic as to insist that he
has a fine chance OF winning a plurality
of the votes cast In the first primary
According to political leaders who have
kept up with Mr.. Hendersons campaign,
the Troy candidate will carry the Sec

that he will break even with other candi-
dates in the Seventh, Fourth and Ninth
districts. Indications are that he will
lose the First and Sixth districts. though
he will probably carry by good major
ity Walker county, in The Sixth.
Captain Kolb has lost none of his OPP
tlmism, claiming that he will receive a
large plurality in the first primary. He
asserts in the strongest possible terms
that he will be the next governor of
Alabama, and a like conviction is held by
many of his friends However, reports
are at strong variance with Captain
kolb's claims, although his strength is
by no means underestimated. lie will poll

Declare 1t Is Making Money

In the meantime the postoffice depart
ment officials declare that the parcel
post is making money. Moreover, they
insist that they have only been making
an attempt to meet the public demand by
the policy of expansion that they have
adopted.
In the course of debate upon the bill 1t
Is quite probable that the situation will
be clarified and result obtained that
will prove satisfactory to the Senate and
to the postoffce department, which will
give the Senate the informa ton that it
seeks, and at the same time not in effect
cripple or retard the natural growth of
the parcel post system.
1t is quite certain that the popular SEN
tlment is behind the parcel post, and in
favor of it's expansion and development
1t Is equally certain that the demands of
the Senate committee are reasonable and
proper, for it Is desirable that the gov
ernnlent keep a close tab on the revenue
end of the venture, and everyone hopes
thar a way will be found to do this with
out attaching too much red tape and re-
stIictions to the service. Those opposed
to Congress placing limitations upon the
service point out that it might take a
year or two to get through a measure
authorizing expansion of tine parcel post,
and in the meantime the public would be
the loser and the system greatly suffer.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-23
Must Know Revenue Returns

1T is impossible" said Senator Bank
head, 'for the government to find out
where il stands from revenue stand
point in the operation OF the parcel post
while ii is undergoing all these changes
In it's workings. For instance, there is
joint committee of the senate and House
to investigate the parcel post system
and report to Congress whether or not it
is being operated at a loss or a profit
to the government. The postoffice depart
ment, while it believes that the parcel
post is making money cannot demon
strate II. Before the records can be
checked up and audited there is a change
of such vital character to throw the
whole thing out of gear and the investi-
gators have to start all over again.
Now" continued the senator that the
department has abandoned the distinctive
stamp. it seems to me that it will be next
to impossible to distinguish the parcel
post revenue from the revenue of the
other branches of the postal service"
The senator characterized the charge
that his committee is seeking to cripple
the parcel post and place the system at
a disadvantage In its competition with the
express companies as absurd" He in
sists that on the contrary the commit
tee is anxiously concerned about the par
Gel post and earnestly endeavoring to be
helpful to the system 1.-THE committee
wants to first find where we stand as
to revenue" he said. "and then we are
ready to go ahead and do all we can to
improve the service and remedy the de-
fects If we are losing money, and if we
are making money expand the service in
every way possible. -.

Continual Changes That Are
Being Made by Postmas-
ter General
Nv @. E. sTEMA

Washington, February 22-tSpecial.)-It
is unfortunate that the Postmaster Gem
eral and the Senate committee on post
offices and postroads, of which Senator
John r. Bankhead of Alabama Is chair
man, cannot, or have not, reached an
agreement regarding the future MANAGE
ment of the parcel post, before the legis-
lation proposed In the postoffice appro-
pration bill is finally adopted or reject
ed by Congress.
There is provision In the postoffice
appropriation bill now pending in the
Senate that provides in effect that the
Postmaster General shall not make any
changes in the parcel post system with
out the authority of Congress. The orig
inal measure creating the parcel post
gave discretion to the Postmaster Cen
eral both as to the increase in the weight
OF matter handled. and the increase or re-
duction of rates. as we'll as changes in
the zones, il the case demanded 1t. Con-
gress realized that the parcel post was
largely experimental and desired that
the postoffice officials be not hampered
in any manner if they saw that changes
would be beneficial to the service.
Postmaster General Burleson has made
many changes in the original plan. He
first increa ased the maximum weight from
II pounds to 20 pounds. and then from 20
pounds to 30 pounds, and is now consid-
ering the advisabilty of increasing the
maximum to 100 pounds Further he made
some changes in the rates. and also aban-
doned the use of distinctive stamp.

Montgomery. February 22-(Specai)
Who will win second place in the gov-
ernor's race?
This question is causing no end of spec
ulation in political circles, and, to some
extent furnishes the most absorbing topic
of the day. 1t is pretty generally con-
ceded that former Governor b. B. Conner
will receive plurality of the votes cast
in the first primary. 1T is further as
serted by prominent political leaders from
all parts of the state that Charles Hen
oerson will be the second man in the
! race, with Capt. Ruben L. Kolb in third
place. However, Captain Kolb's adherents
maintain that he will capture second
honors.
The gubernatorial campaign has been
much in the public mind In recent weeks
shrewd political thinkers have given close
! attention to the situation as whole, and
have endeavored by careful investigation
and inquiry to ascertain the strength of
| the various candidates. A good percent
| age of the voters of the state has not
yet centered on any candidate, and it
is unlikely that they will do SO until 1t
IS clearly known who has the best chance
of defeating Mr.. Conner. The prohibi-
tionists practically as a whole, have
made up their minds. Mr. Conner and

that the price OF everything he has had

mer cannot meet his obligations and
