MRS. OHMEs CANDIDACY

There are several interesting features in connection with the race. for county board of education. Although the best posted men on the political situation in Jefferson county are certain that the vot- CTS are overwhelmingly opposed to wom- an suffrage, it appears probable that Mrs. F'loribel Brown Ohme will be one Of the winners for board of education. Mrs. Ohme has strong support from both men and women all over the county, and the strength of her candidacy seems to in dicate that those who oppose equal SUI frage for women are willing for them to vote on school matters and to hold positions on boards of education. It is believed that the voters will exercise un- usual care in selecting the candidates for this place on account of the power the board has over educational matters in the county. Nathan L. Miller, J. D. Moore and Gen. Louis V. Clark, among the best known business and professional men in the county are candidates for member ship on the board, which consists of five members, and their election would seem to be indicated at this time. J. w.. Minor of Ensley is another strong candi- date for one of these positions.
 The list of candidates for county, beat and district officers as their names will appear on the official ballot follows:
 Congress Ninth District-George Huddeston. Thomas J. Judge, Charles E.. Rice.
 Presidential Elector for Ninth Con- gressional District-Tom o. Smith.
 Delegate to National Convention. Ben Davis, Crawford Johnson.
 Alternate Delegate National Demo- cratic ntioa-George B. Tarrant.

A warrant was sworn out for the negro by Sheriff Batson and he is being held without bond pending a hearing An effort will be made to carry the case before the grand judy immedi- ately upon it reconvening.
 Only the prompt actions of the officers who made the arrest Friday prevented mob violence. According to reports a large band of men well armed were after the negro within a short while after the incident was reported.

BOARD OF REVENUE

With more than G0 candidates in the race for board of revenue, no dennte idea has been obtainable as to the prob able outcome of that contest. It IS De- lieved. however, that not more than 2o of these candidates will figure materially in the result, many of them having little strength outside their home beats, and some not having made an active cam paign.
 All the members of the present board of revenue have conducted active fights and it is predicted that each of them will be a serious contender in the race for re- election Others who are mentioned free- ly as probable winners are waiter Fowlkes Thomas M. Bradley. F. A. Hewitt, Jerry Gwin and others.
 There are 21 candidates in the race for coroner and no definite idea can be gained at this time as to the relative strength of the different contestants. Among those who have been most active in the race are Edward Patillo John R. T. Rives, pr. A. E. Meadow, Walter Met I1N nd nfh

COUNTY TREASURER

Within the past few weeks the race for county treasurer has developed marked interest. Cleon B. Rogers, who is seeking reelection, has five op- ponents, three of whom are making active fights. Judge N. W. Scott of Ensley is making a strong race agalnst MT. Rogers, his campaign being based upon the claim that he is running in opposition to the candidate named by "the courthouse ring" Dr. John $. Gill lespy and M. V Henry are also ac- lively in the fight, and the result or the race is awaited with great interest by the voters of the county John Sha- han and H. N. Randall are the other candidates for treasurer.
 D. E. McLendon is unopposed TOT re- election as tax assessor or the county.
 James F. Hawkins is making an actiVe race for tax collector against F. B. Bow CTS, who is seeking reelection. MT itaW- kius was defeated for clerk of the clrcult court six years ago by only narrow margin. and his personal canvass of all the beats in the county has made hlfn a formidable contender for tax collector.
 Rose Huey, W. Bascom Vines ana Thomas w. Wright are the three candi- da tes for deputy clerk of the circuit court stationed at Bessemer. Ben u. Perry and F. R.

CFrom Our Regular Correspondent

A Good VetOe-President Wilson has
vetoed the Army bill and in so doing
has done wisely. IL is a pleasure to
find something this administration has
done which can be frankly praised,
and everyone familiar with the facts
and not involved in the personal dis
pute between General Leonard Wood
and General Fred Ainsworth, retired,
appreciates that this is good veto,
and one made necessary by the at
tempt OF the Democratic chairman OF
the Military committee, Rep. Hay OF
Virginia, to destroy military discipline
in order to enable friend to vent his
spleen. The clause which called forth
the veto relieved retired officers from
liability to service and from military
discipline. 1t was designed to enable
Gen. Ainsworth to publish book at
lacking his tlme-honored enemy, Gen,
Wood. Possibly Rep. Hay should not
be too severely blamed, because II
is upon just such broad national lines
that so much of the legislation of this
administration has been based.

tent that only a small part of this
will be expended before juno
80, when the fiscal year ends. The
two new battleships authorized March
4, 1915, were not begun for many
months and no payment on their ac-
counts is likely this year. Congress
$5,4OO,OOO for subma-
rines, but only about $2,S5O,OOO was
expended. In fact, this year has been
the worst from the standpoint of naval
construction that has occurred In
many long day. In view OF the con-
dition of the Treasury and Secretary
McAdoos insistenoe that all heads OF
departments so handle their work as
to make the bills come in as far in
the future as possible, there is con-
siderable suspicion among Republi-
cans that after the preparedness pro-
gram" has been duly utilized for cleo
ton purposes. there Will be a slump,
so that the next administration will
have to pay the bills.

Pass Two Billion Mark-With the
completion of this session Congress
will have made a new record for ex-
penditures. The appropriations Of
this session, including authority given
to award contracts, pass the enormous
total of $4,000, 900, OOO-or to express it
more intelligibly, they have exceeded
1000 million dollars The acual APP
propriations total $1.71O.000,000 and
to this must be added authorizations
for continuing expenses amounting to
5000, $4,000. These figures include
S79,O0O,000 for good roads and $780,
100000 for food control. The apprO-
priations for this session will exceed
those of the last session by $515,0O0,-
600 and these of the last year of the
Taft administration by 100000, 900
The increased appropriations on ac-
count of national defense, according to
Senator Smoot total in round numbers
$365 ,000. 900, leaving the remaining
$3.50, 200, 900 attributable to Democratic
extravaganza The Democrats protest
against the inclusion in these figures
OF O,60O 900 for food control, be-
cause ii has passed the House but not
the enate, but they also predict it will
pass the Senate during this Congress.

publicans apply to the lavishness dis
played by the Democrats in their
handling of the Governments funds
Senator Smoot declares that "Ir we
could bring the Democratic party into
a court of justice and try it under the
rules of law. the evidence would be
more than adequate to convict il of
attempting to secure votes under false
pretenses, this referring to the eff
forts of the administration to juggle

Democratic party remain in power the
country would suffer ian era of un-
equalled extravaganza, combined with
inefficiency unsurpassed"

Some Observation-Disclosures
has been asked of apparently glaring
discrepancies between Republican and
Democratic figures. in the matter of
appropriations. for instance. There
are, of course. various ways IN which
figures can be juggled. but in discuss
ing appropriations, the Democratic
leaders almost invariably include only
so much Of the funds appropriated as
they believe It will be necessary to
pay out during the approaching fiscal
year. whereas the Republicans include
in the total not only all that must be
paid during the coming fiscal year but
all for which government officials are
authorized TO go In debt during the
approaching fiscal year. For Instance,
