HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, January 1O.-(Special. )-Sat- urday was a gala day in Madison county politics. Candidates for county office were literally swarming in the city and more announcements were made for the various offices than during any previous time since the first announcement was made. The primary election will be held on May and every candidate will have plenty of time to stump the entire county and meet great majority of the voters Sc far announced the candidates are: w. T. Lawler for probate judge, Thomas w. Jones and Charles l.. Townes for circuit clerk, J. R. Russell for county treasurer. s. M. Stewart, E. L. Hereford, Charles R. Williams and l.. A. Eddins for tax assessor, Frank c. Love, James A. Teague and J. E. McCord, commissioners from first district George c. Blanton commits sioner fifth district. There will be at least two candidates for every county office and for some offices rhere will be as many as eight.
 There is intense interest here over the proposal to hold an election to do away with the commission form Of government
 
 used to prevail. It is believed that enough signatures have already been secured on the petitions requesting the probate judge to order an election to cause him to act favorably on the proposition. No oppo- sition to the proposed change has de- veloped up to this time but a hard fight is expected.
 Mrs. s. A. Spragins, widow of the late Probate Judge Spragins of Madison coun- ty died last night at the home of her daughter, north of this city. She was the mother of eX-State Senator Robert E. Spragins, president or the First Ma tional bank; Mrs. A. E. Mastin- of Hunts vile, and Mrs. R. w. Brahan of Texas. She was 80 years old

Carefully Treat
 Children's s Colds

Neglect of childrens colds often lays the foundation of serious lung trouble. On the other hand it is harmful to continu ally dose delicate little stomachs with in ternal medicines or to keep the children always indoors.
 Plenty of fresh air in the bedroom and good application of Vick's "Vap-O- Rub" Salve over the throat and chest at the first sign of trouble, will keep the little chaps free from colds without injuring their di- gestions. 25c, Soc, or $l00.

Accepted by United

Before Election

Asbury Park, n. j., Oct lo.--After a
conference yesterday with President VIII
son and telephone conversation with
Acting Secretary of State Polk, Joseph
! p, Tunulty, secretary to the president,
characterized as absolute fabrications"
published reports that the United States
had accepted settlement of the Lusi-
tania case based on the German conten-
ton that the attack was justified
Washington Oct l9-Germany's mem
orandum, intended to settle the Lusi-
tania controversy, has not been accepted
by this government and it will not be
made public, Acting Secretary OF State
Polk said yesterday. At the same time
he asserted that reports to the contrary
were put forth for partisan purposes.
"Ihe note has not been accepted" he
said. ut viii not be given out Stories
that it had been accepted and would be
published were printed for partisan pur-
poses. The state department is not GO
ing to be drawn into discussion at this
time
1t was plainly intimated that depart
ment officials considered the publication
of the reports yesterday political move
to embarrass the department in the con-
duct OF foreign affairs. In addition, it
was also made clear that the department
believes foreign Influences were also
seeking to take advantage OF the politi
cal situation by bringing up the issue at
this time.
Although no official would say definite
~ when the Lustania ca Sc would be set
tied, indications were that there would
be no settlement until after the election
The case now rests where it did when
Secretary Lansing announced more than
six months ago that the Berlin settle
ment plan was substantially satisfac-
tory" Then came the Sussex attack and
the Lusitania settleemnt was held up
until the United States assured itself
that German pledges would be kept,
1t was no secret when the Lusitania
proposals were made that Germany re-
fused to disavow the sinking specifically,
but it was announced that Germany had
