SEVENTH DISTRICT
CAMPAIGN OPENED
Republicans Hold Rally in
St. Clair and Hear Demo-
Gratis Flayed

Odenville, August 2.-(Special. 1.-The re-
publican-progressive campaign for county
offices and for Congress from the Seventh
district was opened here today with adj
dresses by Sumter Cogswell of Pell City,
candidate for probate judge of st. Clair
county; Judge I. H. Davidson of Oneonta,
candidate for Congress in opposition to
the democratic nominee Congressman
John l.. Burnett and ]. o. Thompson of
Birmingham progressive national COM
mitteeman from Alabama.
Local republicans and others who at
tended expressed qualification over the
situation and claimed to be confident of
success in both county and district fights.
They claimed that in the last presidential
election the combined vote of the republic
cans and the progressives in the Seventh
district was slightly in excess of the
democratic and they expressed the opin-
ion that they would be able to secure for
the fusion ticket larger vote than the
democrats could poll in November.
j. O. Thompson of Birmingham spoke
on the subject, fundamentals in Poll
tics" He inveighed against what he
termed the baneful one-party influence in
Alabama. and in regard to national af-
He criticized the President for his fail
member Of the farm loan commission, and
he took the democrats to task for the
manner in which the money appropriated
under the good roads bill was to be ap-
portioned. Mr.. Thompson expressed the
opinion that the money should be divided
solely with regard to area, and that the
present system of considering area, popu-
lation and number of miles of rural
routes was indefensible.
Mr. Thompson declared that so long
as the south continued to vote the demo-
cratic ticket, the democratic party would
use this section of the country merely as
an asset, and that all the favors of Of
fees and of other kinds would go to other
parts of the country. The speaker made
no reference to the statements Of Charles
E. Hughes, the republican candidate for
the presidency, who in appearing before
audiences in the north. scored President
Wilson and the democratic administration
on the ground that too many offices and
too much of the political pie had been
given to the south.
