HOTEL MEN ENTER
 PROTEST TO BARBER
Claim City Ordinances Being Violated in Soliciting Business-Relief
 Is Promised

The Birmingham Hotel Mems associa- ton protested to Commissioner Barber yesterday afternoon against certain al- legged infractions against city ordinances and appealed for the strict enforcement of the statutes. It was claimed by mem bers of the delegation that porters rep resenting certain hotels and rooming houses were soliciting business at the Terminal station entrance in violation of the law and that automobiles were al- lowed to line up in front of the Terminal entrance to such an extent that pas sengers leaving incoming trains were put street cars. Objection was also made to the alleged filthy condition existing in the subway under the Terminal station.
 It was claimed by the hotel men that all these matters were in violation of city ordinances, and since some of the hotels lived up to the law, it was unfair to al- low other hotels and rooming houses to ignore them.
 Commissioner Barber assured the dele gation that the conditions existing in the subway at the Terminal had already re- ceived his attention and would be rem edied without delay. Instructions would also be issued to the city attorney to in- vestigate the existing ordinances regard ing the other matters, and proper or ders issued for their enforcement
 The delegation which called on Commis- sioner Barber consisted of H. M. Burt. proprietor of the Burt and president of the association; F. B. Shireman, manager of the Tutwiler; H. B, New, manager of the Motion; H. l.. Bailey, manager of the Hillman; F. B. Freeman, manager of the Terminal, and D. R. Ridenhour, manager of the Southern.

sy CHARLES H. MANDY

Yes, sir, am agin it.
 Having unburdened himself of this trite remark, J. Benjamin Binns, the well known curbstone politician, leaned back in his chair and blew clouds of smoke from his Missouri meerschaum into the air.
 You are against what?" inquired his friend and curbstone corney, Wellington Waits.
 This made in Birmingham proposi- ton that we hear and read so much about" was the reply.
 T am certainly surprised to hear you say so." said Wellington w. T had always considered you highly patriotic when the welfare of the old town"
 T defy any man to prove I am not patriotic, either to my city, state or coun- try" interrupted MT. Binns. loyalty to our fair city is my long suit, for. with all her faults l love her still,' but there are some things that I won't stand for and this made in Birmingham propo- sition is one of them and in the foremost rank
 q tell you l am sick and tired of It. It gets on my nerves every time l hear it mentioned, for not only is it a proven fallacy, but it is a delusion and a snare Every time I attend a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Morris Bush, or Bob Ewing or Crawford Johnson or some In something about patronizing home in- dustries. It is the same with the board of trade and other civic bodies, and the worst part of 1t is that they have spread the campaign to such an extent that the slogan confronts me everywhere"

TIDEWATER HEARING
 TO RESUME TODAY
City to Oppose Any Plan That Might Give Control to Birmingham Rail-
 way. Light and Power Company

The hearing of the Tidewater case will be resumed before Judge W. I. Grubb in the federal court beginning at 10 o'clocl; this morning. The case was delayed from last Friday until this morning in order to allow City Attorney M. M Ullman to prepare himself upon the issues brought cut by the bondholders' amendment to their original petition.
 Just what course the city will pursue in the matter of opposing the granting of the substitution of name prayed for in the petition could not be ascertained. That the city is opposing anything that will tend to give the Birmingham, Rail- way, Light and Power company the con trol and operation of the bankrupt street railway has been admitted by its attor- ney.
 It is contended that the substitution of the name of the Birmingham Tide water Railroad company for that of J. D. Kirkpatrick who bid in the property for the bondholders at the auction sale, would be a step toward the transfer of the property.

But you must admit that the campaign
 is a good one," said MT. Waits, and shows enterprise on the part of our civic bodies. It is also fact that goods made in Birmingham compare favorably with the same kind of goods, both as to quail ity and price. that are made elsewhere. ''
 Forget it, Wellington, forget it. re- piled Benjamin B., with a grandiloquent wave of his hand, you, like many others of our citizenship know not whereof you speak. l am speaking from experience, you are merely theorizing l again as- sert that I am as patriotic as anyone Tn the district. I have proven my loyalty to our city and district time and time again. I have backed up and bucked against measures of all kinds wherein the welfare of the city was involved, but with all that I am unalterably, unequivo- cally and unreservedly opposed, now and forever, to the made in Birmingham proposition. I have tried it out. not once, but many times and found it wanting, and l say right here and now, without fear of successful contradiction, that the stuff made in Birmingham is not fit to drink.
 Why, do you know that since the ad- vent of prohibition, carbolic acid and hairoil have advanced over 50 per cent, and that there is a growing scarcity of furniture polish and embalming fluid? I don't know what other ingredients are being used, but I will take a Bible oath that the last stuff I bought that was made in Birmingham was a concoction of red paint and dynamite, favored with a dash of blue vitriol. No, sir, friend Wellington, don't talk to me about buy ing goods made in Birmingham The last purchase cured me-did l say cured? well pickled would be a better word. I am off it forever

First Comments Made on
 Results Hard 10 Explain
Roosevelt Especially Embarrassed By His Statement Issued Election Nght-What the Democratic and Republican
 Newspapers Had to Say
Ky HUGH w. RobERTS

1 essential to the nation and a divided allegiance involves no peril to the re- public. There can be no other meaning to the election of MT. Hughes The Baltimore Sun: Tt would be fool ish to deny that, in the Suns opinion the path of MT. Hughes will be filled with difficulties during the next four years. The diverse character of the sup port rendered him is an indication of this. But a majority of the electoral votes of the country will be cast for him and it is the duty of every good citizen to aid him in every good work which he may take up in the interest of the nation"
 The New York Times: "The conclusion is irresistible that the country is repub- lican, that it prefers republican adminis- tration. The decision taken by the cleo torate in yesterdays election confirms that impression"
 c. o. P. REJOICES
 The press which supported Hughes openly rejoiced. For instance:
 The New York American: 'Mr. Wilson's defeat was due entirely to hls insistence upon committing errors in his foreign policy and his attitude towards Mexican affairs"
 The New York Tribune: "'Too proud to fight has proved an epitaph and not a slogan; in defeating Mir Wilson his countrymen have repudiated the words he put in their mouths"
 The Washington Herald: Tn the result, history simply repeated itself. Under normal conditions the country is republi- can"
 The New York Herald: Make a real cabinet, Mir. Hughes, as Abraham Lincoln did! And revise the tariff"
 AND MANY OTHERS
 It seems that "all of them were doing it." The Washington Post declared that the reunion of republicans and progress sives had been complete. The Philade- phia Public Ledger said: ''The nation has spoken. Its verdict was against the record and policies of MT Wilson,
 William R. Hearst reproached the Pres ident because MT. Wilson had not taken the editors advice. Had he done so" MT. Hearst wrote, The would now prob ably be reading the confirmation of his reelection"
 The Philadelphia Press, in announcing the election of MT. Hughes. spoke com plimentary of the President. "The peo- ple," said that paper, might have had reason to fear the result of some of Wilson's policies. but they would have known that as President we had a man who acts and whose integrity and patri- otism cannot be questioned"
