The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-14

Although President R. H. Baugh will not be an active candidate for reelection. he will accept the post again if tendered to him. However, there is opposition to the reelection of the Birmingham mogul. The leader of the scheme is Clyde Shrop- shire of Nashville, who was turned down by the directorate at the meeting last year when MT. Baugh was unanimously chosen.
 Shropshire has been making an active campaign for the place for the last two months, according to advices from both Nashville and New Orleans. It is said that Shropshire has even sent out cir culars over the entire circuit, urging his present administration. The Nashville club is his chief packer, with Charley Frank the new leader of Atlanta.
 Shropshire is said to have three votes pledged to him. including Nashville, At lanta and Little Rock. It was consid- cred sure that the Traveller management would be against Baugh, favoring any thing that Nashville would suggest. At larlta, since Frank took charge, was also eeded to the Shropshire cause.
 Raugh adherents are counting on re- ceiving the support of the remainder of the clubs. Memphis, Birmingham and Chattanooga can be counted on to fol- lew the right side, while it is thought that Mobile and New Orleans will also do the best thing possible for the good of southern baseball and support Presi- dent Baugh. Johnny Dobbs recently an- nounced that he favored Baugh and if tkis is true, it can well nigh be consid-

MT. Lusk makes the astounding declaration that if the present administra- tion can in four years collect as much as was collected during my term there would be no deficit If the present governor cannot collect as much as I collected under revenue law which was mis- erable make shift, it is due to the fact that the last legislature declined to per- form their sworn duty.
