ARRIVES AND| REPORTS ARE CURRENT HE COMES AS PEACEMAKER
Understood He is Here as Special Envoy From President to Urge Local Optionists and Demo- crats to Bury Their Differences and Present United Front in National Campaign

While Senator Bankhead, who spent last night in Birmingham, authorized no statement whatsoever, it is generally be- lieved that he has come to Alabama as special envoy from the President of the United States to the members of the state democratic executive committee.
 From Washington come reports there is great fear in administration circles lest the prohibltionists and the local op- tionists, in the election of national delegation should engage in bitter campaign among themselves which would be disastrous to democracy in national sense.
 It is said, too, that the administration would have the delegation equally divid- ed among the rival factions in Alabama, with every man pledged to forget in the interest of the party, the differences which separate individuals at home. It is said, too, that the administration at Washington would rejoice were William D. Jelks reelected national commit teeman.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-28

The arrival last night of Senator Bank head created unusual interest in political circles, and the consensus of opinion is that he has come at the request of the advisors of the administration to urge a reception for the dove of peace
 Senator Banlxhead believes that the democrats will win in the ensuing presi- dential campaign if prosperity continues to exist if every man is employed and the dinner pail is full. That there is reason. for grave fear of republican triumph, however, he is willing to admit. Because of the delicate situation, the anxiety of the Washington administra- tion is judged locally to be natural, and thus color is lent to the plausible theory that Senator Bankhead has come from the President to urge faetionalists to bury, for temporary period. at any rate, the hatchet.
 If the theory is based on fact, 1t is anticipated that the senator, within the next few days, will interview the leaders of the respective camps, and urge the sending to St. Louis of delegation cap able of forgetting everything save the inn portance of electing a democrat Presi- dent of the United States.

 JOHN G. SMITH, Commander"
 So much has been written about ''The Birth of a Nation," the greatest picture ever produced, that little remains to be said. It is enough to say that the pfc ture created a profound sensation in the north and east and broke all records in New York.
 While portraying in the minutest de- tails an era of American history in which the nation was shaken The Birth of a Nation" also depicts a dainty and heart enthralling love story. It's great est interest to the veterans, however, will be in the battle scenes and the story of what the south endured ito be born again.
 Scenically, artistically and in the scale on which it was produced "The Birth of a Nation" has never been equaled in moving pictures and the veterans this afternoon will live again the days of the sixties.
