Socialism.

AT the social hall on Monday and
Tuesday evenings this week, one j..
H. Dequer lectured to full house.
The subject dwelt on was Socialism.
and it was made plain that the speak
er was posted on conditions that con-
front the people, the cause and the
remedy. Those who failed to hear the
earnest, able speaker missed chance
to see the reason why taxes are high
and the workers larder is low. We
need many more fearless and unfet-
tered expounders of the truth that
really concerns everyone's welfare.
The speaker goes to Nampa to engage
in four days debate for Socialism

 CITY SHORT TIME
Says Rdles Are Plain That Voters In Primary Must Have Been
 Supporters of Wilson

Tyler Goodwin, chairman of the state democratic executive committee, and a candidate for reelection passed through Birmingham yesterday en route to Chat tanooga where he will attend to legal matters.
 While in the city, he was asked in re- gard to the candidacy of a gentleman of Mobile who has declared himself democrat after having served in the ranks of the republicans.
 He replied: q know nothing of this particualr case. However, the rule of the committee is plain. It is specifically stated that the democratic primary is confined to democrats, those who support ed Woodrow Wilson in the general cleo tion of 1912''
 MT. Goodwin was asked if 1t was rfet true that candidate for the legisla- ture for Jefferson county did not support Y. Roosevelt in the general election of 1912. He declared that he did not know.
 T am preparing to send out instruc- tfons," said the chairman, Ito all man. agers, clerks, returning officers and oth- CTS who have been chosen by the vari- ous county committees to serve in the primary election of April G. I will write each manfthat it will be his duty to pre- vent the participation in the primary of all men who did not support Woodrow Wilson in the general election. To those officials who will serve in the beats of those counties which refused to follow the instructions of the committee in re- gard to raising the bars against the par ticipation of republicans, I will send in- structions to challenge every man who offers a ballot. and to secure from each an affidavit that he supported Mir Will son and that he will support the nominees of the primary in which he votes.'

TAFT TURNS DOWN OFFER OF CHICAGO SYNDICATE FOR CLUB

Taft declined 1t as not being high enough. 1, Belief that they would have to make ex- tensive Improvements in the Cubs plant 1t was said, kept the bidders from again raising the price they offered.
 Mir. Taft and MT. Murphy are reported to be principal owners of the Cubs.
 The change in the organization of the club was the result. 1t is generally re- ported, of a. demand made by President Johnson of the American league. that someone besides Murphy be put at the head of the Chicago club. Johnson con- tended that some of Murphy's unpopular moves were dangerous to organized base ball with the Federal league threatening destructive war. and demanded of Presi- dent Tener and the National league that a change be made.
 Trouble between Johnson and Murphy dates from the worlds series of 1907 be- tween Detroit and the Cubs. and was the result of a, ticket scalplng scandal. Some of the officials of the West Side club, Of which Thomas was then secretary, were directly accused by Johnson of having made the sealping possible.
 Because of this trouble some of the American league leaders, it was reported tonight, might oppose the appointment of Thomas though whether their opposition will have any influence Is matter of conjecture.
