 Meetings

Mobile. April 22.-(Special)-The annual report of Leon c. Palmer, general secre- tary of the association, is in part as fol- Jews:
 During the past year I have person. ally visited every county in the state from one to IS times each. Have had the privilege of helping in 42 county conventions. 42 district conventions. 5S training schools and institutes and S4 spe- cial meetings, making a total of 176 meet ings.

 Every county and every district has held a convention during the year so that this year for the fourth time we report every county d banner county. During the time seven-Blount Calhoun, Clay, Conecuh, Pickens, Tuscaloosa and Washington-lost their banner. but each of these has regained it's standing. Six corntes-Barbour, Cleburne, Covington, Fayette, Morgan, Wasnington--lost their gold star. Barbour has reganed it's gold star, the others have not, although they are working for it. The backward step taken by these five counties is the only item which we regret to report This is more than offset however by the nine geld stars-Lawrence. Limestone. Bald win, Mobile. Chambers. Greene, Russell l Hale, Escambia. We heartily congratu- | late these nine counties on this splendid progress
 The report of the executive committee | covering the general condition of the work, and the report of the department | superintendents for their respective de- partments. will show that the work oi 1 the past year. in every respect-field work. office work, printed matter issued county organizations, department organ 1 izations and individuaf Sunday school efficiency-has been the largest and most gratifying of any year in our history"

Leon C. Bradley Believes Senator Bankhead Will Not Oppose C0nfirma-
 ti0n by Senate

Leon c. Bradley of Tuscaloosa, asso- ; ciate editor of the Tuscaloosa News. who
 was in Birmingham yesterday declared
 his belief that sam F. Clahaush has won 1 his fight for the postmastershlp of Tus- Caloosa.
 MT clabaughs appointment has been sent to the Senate by the President. His confirmation depends upon the attitude Of | Senator John H. Bankhead. Mr Brad 1 ley believes that Senator Bankhead will
 not oppose the confirmation cf MT. Cla- i baueh, although the senator has stated 1 that he would not appoint any man against whom the majority of the citizens of Tuscaloosa entered protest. In the effort of Clabaugh 60 be made | postmaster al Tuscaloosa is involved what point is whether or not the cnngressman- at-large has the right to recommend the appointment of the postmaster Uf his home town. John w. Aberci onibie con gressman-at-large favors the appolnt- ment of Clabaugh. Capt. K r. Hobson, Sixth district congressman. opposes that appointment
 Issue in Campaign The Tuscaloosa situation has occupied inoie tiiiH US SlidTt Ol l0e .DneIBnL DG- cause it developed during the strenuous
 senatorial campaign in which Oscar N. Underwood and R. P Hobson were rival
 candidates. MT Clabaugh who IS a pro- hibitionist, supported Mir. Underwood. When the senatorial campaign was at
 it's height Clabaugh was recommended by pr. Abercrombie congressman large. for postmaster. Instantly Captain Hob- son entered objections.
 On account of the stress of the sena- torial fight, the issue was not pushed 10 settlement The friends of Captain HCbson backed him nanfully. His ene- mics contended that he opposed Ciabaugh because Clabaugh was supporting the candidacy of MT Underwood.
 At the same time there was warm con
 eressional race in progress between W. B. Oliver and W. B. Bankhead, son of Senator Bankhead. When the differences between Hobson and Abercrombie deyel- oped, Senator Bankhead declared that
 he would oppose the confrmatio of any
 man against whom majority Of the peo-
 pie of Tuscaloosa registered themselves.
 Abercrombie Is Recognized
 The situation became so acute that 1t
 was deemed wise to let the 'bone of con
 tention be until the primary could be
 held Shortly after the uatc of the prl- mary, President Wilson nominated Cla-
 baugh thus holding that Congressman at-large Abercrombie had the right to name the postmaster in his nome city and not Congressman Hobson.
 MT. Bradley, who has managed the cam paign of MT. Clabaugh, holds that the fight is over despite the fact that Cap
 tain Hobson is preparing to further his efforts to prevent the confirmation ot Cla- baugh MT. Bradley believes, however, that Senator Bankhead will not oppose the confirmation of Clabaugh, and that eventually he will be declared to b. post master at Tuscs loosa.
 It is understood that Captain Hobsnn
 has lodged charges or briets of sriev-
 ances against Clabaugh, but the specific charges are unknown. MT. Clabaugh was formerly of Birmingham, and a reporter on the staff of The Age-Herald.
