PARADE FOLLOWS
NEWS OF VICTORY
Two Hundred March, Cheer
ing for Wilson-Age-
Herald Spreads News

Birmingham celebrated the tidings
elected to the presidency last night
The news of his triumph was con-
veyed shortly after 1880 o'clock when
the powerful white rays Of The Age
Herald searchlight swept the horizon
and then turned heavenward. The
mighty beam of light served as sig
nal for demonstration In the, mid
Ole of the city 200 men and boys de-
tcrmined to show their pleasure formed
in double file and paraded about the
main avenues, making known by glad
some whoops and lusty cheers the fact
that the choice of the south would
preside over the destinies of the ma
ton.
AS the unorganized parade passed
through the streets, the passersby
swelled the volume of the cheering. In
the drug stores and at the soft drink
places the crowds. returning from the
theatres. were agog with comment on
the victory.
The parade did not last long, but
had life during its march. "Hurrah for
the greatest President the country ever
had" was heard. but the greater num-
Der of the enthusiasts were content
to express their sentiments by loud
and oft-repeated whoops.
Inasmuch as the suspense regarding
the outcome Of the race was prolonged
many hours. the news was received
calmly in most quarters. But by mid
night it was known all over the city
that Wilson had won, for The Age
Herald searchlight signal was followed
by scores of boys who went into all
parts of the city bearing the extra
announcing the result.

WILL INQUIRE AS
TO LEGALITY OF
VOTE IN KANSAS
Electors Were Not BallOted
for Individuals, But as
Group on Attorney
Generals Opinion

Topeka, Kan, November 9.-Charles
II. Session, republican state chairman,
announced today that legal counsel
bad been engaged to investigate the
constitutionality of the electoral vote
in Kansas He would not say wheth-
err or not the vote would be con-
tested
1t was claimed at republican head
quarters that the voters cast their
ballots for the presidential candidates
rather than for electors. The vote for
electors this year was made for the
group instead of for Individual cleo
tors, as in the past Republicans say
that this manner of voting was I'M
con stitutional.
Before the ballots were prepared by
the secretary of state Attorney GEN
eral S. NJ Brewster gave out an opin-
ion that the electors could be voted
for as a group instead of individually.
The ballots were prepared in this man
ner and there was only one square
placed at the head of the list of cleo
tors. thus making It impossible for
the voter to make an individual choice,
1t was asserted.
In commenting upon the electoral
vote in Kansas Hubert Lardner, state
chairman. made the following an
nouncement:
1.-THE ticket was prepared by Secre-
tary of State Botkin under an opinion
by Attorney General Brewster that by
voting in the square opposite each
party the voter would be showing his
intention to vote for the 10 electors.
The ballot is legal. The people voted
their intention and the secretary of
voters intentions must obtain in such
c3s;esu

ADJUSTMENTS
"Hit-the-Trail Holiday"

''Hit-the-Trail Holiday" fast moving
farce by George M. Cohan, proved highly
diverting at the Jefferson theatre yester-
day afternoon and last night.
1t was typical Conan show The hero
was a smart, dare-deviish type. always
ready with some catchy saying. He made
a fortune, married sweet young girl
and won the favor Of the community.
There was hen-pecked character who
was profuse with the excess Of wisdom
that comes from married life. The viii
lain was overb caring and clustering, but
he was brought to terms by the hero, an
erstwhile bartender, who turns evangelis.
and forces the car of a New England
village from the brewery business by vir-
tue Of his great appeal for prohibition.
The story Is unusual and is based upon
the success that Billy Sunday has expe-
rienced by his original and strenuous
methods. Billy Holiday, a bartender
from New York, is in Jofnsburg, where
he has been engaged as barlSeeper for
a new hotel, which is being erected by
Rex Granger, the richest man in the
town and the owner of the brewery. The
scene opens in a barber shop where the
son of the village cZar by his overbearing
manner enrages Billy, who Is being mani
cured by the daughter of the village min
lister. Billy fouts the young man and
sets the village agog by pulling his nose.
The complicating force Of the farce
comes when Rex Granger attempts to
prevent a session of the w. c. T. U. at n
hall owned by Granger but managed by
Burr Jayson, who Is proprietor Of the
village hotel and the promoter Of soft
drink. Billy Holiday determines that the
melting shall be held and makes an ad-
dress at this meeting. So powerful was
his appeal that he became overnight a
hero.
He is showered with offers from various
commercial enterprises But he spurns
these and boosts Nearly Beer" the soft
drink that Burr Jayson has promoted
There is a tremendous demand for the
drink; a fortune is made for the pro-
moter; the barkeepers in the village be-
come soda dispensers; the brewery is
converted into a bottling plant, and final
ly Holiday marries the daughter of the
village preacher.
Frank Otto, as the hero, was clever
and well suited for the part. Howard
Hull Gibson as Dean Granger, son of the
brewer, made strong impression as the
village snob, despite the Disseminating
nature of his role. Chauncey Causland,
as Jed Cusick, champion checker player
and expressman, proved a highly anus
ing character. Lola Merrill, as Edith
Holden, the heroine, was acceptable. The
other characters we've we'll cast.
Owing to conflict Of booking in New
Orleans with Maude Adams, the Tilt
the-Trail Holiday" company will appear
in Selma and several other cities in Ala
bama and Mississippi The same cast
will be seen in these towns as at the
Jefferson yesterday. r. A. L.

Mr.. Wilson's departure, final figures on
doubtful states had not been received, al
though he had been assured by Demo-

Col. E. M. House that he had been re-
elected.
Maintaining his calm attitude President
Wilson issued no statement before his
departure and continued to take the po-
sition that he would await the definite
figures before making any claims. Sec

ever, grew more and more optimistic in
their comments on the election returns.

The President remained in his study
most OF the day, and was in frequent
communication by telephone with Secre-

every Good Eddie"

Exit the stage Frenchman.
That this will be one of the inevitable
effects Of the war is the representation
of Jules Epailly, whose Gaelic comedy
characterization in Very Good Eddie
is one Of its amusing features.
"In the face of what the once fastidious
and elegant boulevardier is doing in the
trenches today" he says. II think that
by the time the war is over we shall
have seen the last comic Gaelic character
on the stage. The stage F'renchman has
always been libel on his nation and
sex, just as has been the stage Irishman.
But with this distinction; we have not
only believed the worst about the French
man, but We have compounded the fell
ony by attributing to him all manner
of vices which he never dreamed of.
Thanks to our acquaintance with the
Celt, we know that the stage Irishman
is just a stage Irishman. Regarding the
stage Frenchman, however. we do not
all have the advantage OF knowing the
type caricatured. 1t is needless for me
to say there has never been such a
Frenchman as Monsieur Rougemont The
point want to make is that by the time
the war is over and France begins to
raise memorials to her illustrious dead;
when the French dramatists, having laid
down their arms. return to their studies
and begin to dramatize the heroism of
the Partisan bon vivant and boulevar-
dier--then the funny little Frenchman of
theatrical tradition will have lost his
punch.
s'All his little bag of familiar tricks
will not help him to get a laugh out Of
his audience, which will have become
educated to the understanding that a
Frenchman may be fastidious as to his
person. a stickler for the elegancies Of
conversation and toilet, that he may even
squirt little Eau de Cologne upon his
coat lapel--and yet be no moly-coddle.
For the audience will know that this
elegant, understanding, volatile French
man has fought like hell in the trenches
and that he has died there by the tens
of thousands

Der operators Of north Alabama. The

MRS. THORNTONi LAND DEAL
ER.-Mrs. Thornton as a school trus-
tee seems to follow the old rule that
bids US let one hand wash the 9th
err" If the school system had des-
perately needed the property owned
by Mrs. Thornton's sister, property
on which records show her husband
as taxpayer, it would have been a
good public service for Mrs. Thorn
tons kin of blood and marriage to
sell the school board that playground
site. What creates the stencil in the
neighborhood of the Chicago school
board is, for one thing, its policy of
secrecy.
Along with the wrecking of civil
service, a blotch on the record of
Jake LOeb's administration is it's per
sistent refusal to permit aldermen,
elected representatives Of the people,
to examine original official records of
the board. There isn't much money
involved in the Thornton land deal.
But the facts as uncovered show that
crooked contracts and crooked real
estate deals can be put over the board
and it's a slim chance aldermen, par
ents of school children, citizens in
general, have to get at the truth.
Credit is due in this affair to Aid
Buck, whose report uncovered the
raw deal, to Chairman Lynch of the
council schools committee and the
aldermen of that body who have been /
for the searchlight. Aid. Blaha's at
