OF FUNDS
T0RUN CAMPAIGN,
STATES Nj. STEELE
Predicts That Hughes Will
Poll More Votes Than
Any Republican Can
didate

Alabama republicans, who deserted the
G. o. p to embrace the faith of the
progressive party, will return to their
former folds, while democrats, who
Joined the Bull Moose, will take up their
former allegiance. according to the views
of Nenian l.. Steele. who was proml-
nent as a leader in the progressive party.
He Is of the mind that the efforts OF the
democrats to capture the votes of the err
rant republicans recently affiliated with
the bull moose will be futile and that
conditions which antedated the advent
OF the progressive party will prevail.
In my opinion. the political situation
will be as it was before the advent Oh
the progressive party. Those who lets
the republicans to join fortune with
Roosevelt and the boiling delegates VIII
lend their support to Hughes-in Ala
bama and elsewhere. The supporters OF
Wilson among the progressives are those
who were democrats before. think THIS
is undoubtedly true within the state ana
in other commemorative.
1.-The Maine election was encouraging
to the republican party and 1t seems ina.
the greatest percentage OF the vote tha'
Roosevelt received In the Lone Tree state
reverted to Hughes. In November, the
same conditions will apply and 1t seems
as though the republicans will be re-
turned to power.
Insofar as 1 know, the Alabama re-
puplicans have not been appealed to for
funds with which to wage the approach
ing campaign However. 1t is apparent
that the G. O. P. will have at its dis
posal a vast amount of money. 1t will
insure a striking educational campaign,
for the campaign committees can no
longer buy up votes as was done OF yore,
and it must be of necessity of this ma
ture.
Despite Wilson'S popularity In the
south. you may mark the prediction that
Hughes will get more votes in Alabama
than have been accorded any other can
didate. These men are not going to Or
ganize into clubs or blatantly announce
their intention Of voting for Hughes. but
1 regard the increase as a certainty
People realize that the south should
have two strong parties to vie for the
favor of the people. This will be one Of
the most prominent considerations"

ARMOR PLANT TO Be.
LOCATED WITHOUT.
REGARD TO POLITICS
Birmingham's Claims Make
Strong Impression on
Navy Board

Birmingham and her advantages for the
plant made an impression upon Secretary
Daniels and the members of the general
board Of the navy.
The government plant will be built,
regardless of any eleventh hour PROPOSE
tons of the armor plate manufacturers,
and the claims of Birmingham will re-
ceive fair consideration without regard to
politics or sectionalism.
These were the opinions of Morris w.
Bush, president of the Chamber of Com
merce; j. II. Doughty and I. Groom
presented the claims of Birmingham for
the armor plate plant at the hearing in
Washington Wednesday.
The presentation of Birmingham s
claims by James Bowron, president of
the Gulf States Steel company. was mas
terly, and his exposition of the resources
of the district made profound impress
sion upon the secretary and the men,
bers of the board. The questions they
asked Mr.. Bowron during his address
showed their interest and his answers

pressions.
All three of the members of the COM
mittee who returned last night were well
pleased with the outlook. They declared
that the impression prevailed in Wash
ington that some point removed from the
coast and the consequent danger of at
tack. would be selected, which was con-
Strued as decidedly fayorably to Bir-
mingham.
I'VE were well pleased with the result
of our trip said ]. H. Doughty last
night THE address of Mr. Bowron was
exceptionally able and made a deep inn
preston on Secretary Daniels and the
members of the board as was evidenced
by their interest and their questions.
His presentation of facts regarding the
iron, steel and coal of this district as
compared with any other place in the
country, and even foreign countries, was
a strong card
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-09-15
PRESENTED SOLID FRONT

Morris w. Bush declared that Alabama
presented a solid front at the hearing and
that Birmingham, Gadsden and Tusca-
loosa worked in perfect harmony. "All
three cities presented practically the
same kind of argument and cache based
Its claims upon the resources OF the great
mineral district of Alabama. All were
for the location in this district, and there
was nothing said by any of the three
that could work to the disadvantage of
the state. This was one of the most en-
couraging features of our trip. OF course
we do not expect the plant to be located
right In the city of Birmingham, nor in
either of the other two Alabama cities
and all Of us will be satisfied If the gov
eminent will select some point in this
district"
Mr.. Bush declared that the impression
prevailed among influential government
officials in Washington that the armor
plate plant was certain to be built re-
CARELESS of the contentious or PROPOSE
tions of the armon plate manufacturers.
High officials stated that their repent
ance came too late and that Congress
had been SO worried for many years with
this matter that 1t had been positively
determined to build this plant regardless
of what the private makers of armor
plate might offer. There need be
no holding back on that point in the
opinion of Mr.. Bush.
I'VE are absolutely assured that the
claims of Birmingham and the other Ala
bama points will receive fair consilera-
ton declared Mr.. Bush. The question
Is left in the hands of the general board,
composed of experts who care nothing
for politics and sectional lines. If we
can convince them that our location Is
the best for the government. l believe
we will get the plant"
Mr.. Bush declared that Congressman
Burnett for Gadsden and Judge Brandon
for Tuscaloosa made able talks and
added to the strength of the claims OF
Alabama and it's mineral district.
James Bowron and E. w. Barrett, the
other members of the committee, did not
return to Birmingham last night, hav-
ing gone from Washington to New York
on business.

MANY APPLICANTS

There were more than 100 cities making
application for the plant, but only a
small part of them had delegations pres
ent. All submitted written briefs and
our case was the first heard. The i'm
preston prevails that there will be no
decision on the part of the board under
two months, this much time probably
being required to consider the large num-
Der of briefs and the vast amount of
data submitted by the different appli-
cants. That Birmingham is one of the
strong contenderS Is our opinion based
on what we learned in Washington.
l. Groom Beatty was of the opinion
that the board would spend probably two
months in considering all the briefs and
statistics filed, after which they would
throw out all applications with the ex-
ception of probably five or six THAT
was the impression among the influential
men we saw in Washington and that
would seem to be the logical thing for
them to do" said Mr.. Beatty. THAT Bir-
mingham or this district Is certain to be
in this latter class is our belief, and
think we are conservative in taking that
position.
ut is considered probable that the board
will then make a more exhaustive in
vestigation of these five or six points,
possibly making trip and spending
sometime at each place. Their decision
will be made without regard to politics
or sectonalism, and we are inclined to
think that certain advantages which we
have, and which seemed to make such
an impression on the board at the hear
ing, may enable us to get the plant.
I'VE were much encouraged when Sec
rotary Daniels, in opening the hearing,
called attention to the provisions of the
bill for the $1l,000,000 armor plate plant
to the effect that it must be located at
some point free from attack by invading
forces. This, it would seem. would elimi-
nate some of our strongest competi-
| tors, the coast cities SUCH as Baltimore
| and Philadelphia and our advantages in
| other lines will probably overcome cities
| in the west which are far from the
coast We are encouraged over the situa-
