a large following of prohibitionists, larger than persons have suspected. Everywhere it was found that prohbi- tionists look upon Mir. Kilby as the log ical candidate, and that no other person is regarded as the proper representative of this faction. The name of Judge w. A. Denson was frequently mentioned but only as compromise candidate selected by agreement of prohibitionists and To- cal optionists. Such a plan would not be accepted by either faction.
 BRANDON IS ACTIVE
 Mr. Brandon has already started his campaign, although his formal announce ment has not been made. In the tour of south Alabama, MT. Brandon was heard of at several points. He was delivering an address at Thomasville to the Wood men of the World Sunday afternoon and had been a visitor to Mobile the even ing before. An enissary of Brandon had been through east Alabama, and had in- formed his friends that his formal an- nouncement would be made during the next few weeks.
 Whenever the question was asked Brandon was put down as a local op- tionist by those who discussed politics. Although he has not informed the pub-

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

The popular Max Bloom has re- turned to the Lyric with a new edi- tion of ''The Sunny Side of Broad way" New editions" of musical shows and minstrel shows are some times promised when they are not forthcoming, but this year "The Sum- ny Side of Broadway" has an entire 1y new plot, with new songs, costumes and comedy material. Max Bloom S horse is still visible, however, and creates mirth as in years gone by.
 Mir. Bloom is one of the best musical comedy comedians and he has lost of comic situation. Attractive spe- cialties are presented by Alice Sher Jack Cagwin, Ralph Creedon, Connie Craven and others, assisted by a chorus. There are six scenes and a long list of musical numbers
 Knapp and Cornelia are versatile pair. They not only do a little of ev- erything, but they do everything well. They are acrobats, singers, dancers and comedians. Just for measure they also play two instruments, trombone and piano.
 Lerner and Ward in Songs and Smiles sing their way into favor with a grand opera burlesque.
 The Elrey sisters dance so well on skates that they easily take first rank in this form of entertainment. They also show much skill in spectacular feats, whirling and pirouetting with scant regard for the laws of gravity They present pleasing appearance and dress attractively.
 The Pathe news pictures show the reception of the British envoys at Washington, stirring pictures of the West Point cadets and other scenes of interest

RECRUITING BY THE NATIONAL GUARD IS
 ID BE ON B|G SCALE
Better to Volunteer Than Be Conscripted," Will
 Be the Battle Cry

Montgomery, May 14.-(Special) "It is better to volunteer than to be conscripted"'
 Alabama National Guard Monday when official orders were issued for the re- cruiting of the organization to full war strength. This means that the Na tional Guard will add 5000 or more men during the next few days ard that it will be trained for pioneer service on the battledelds of Europe. Military officers take the decision of the war department to mean that tic work of guarding industries now be- ing done by guardsmen will be placed in charge of civilian guards and the soldiers will be trained for active selv- ice.
 Officers have pointed out that this is the time for those within the ages "They will be conscripted and it IS better to go as a volunteer than as a conscript" explained one officer Monday Then it is now possible for a volunteer to pick his company A conscript cannot pick his company. He must go wherever he may be put Il is up to each young man now to de eide whether he desires to go with a home company and home officers as d volunteer or whether he desires to go with a foreign company and foreign officers as a conscript."
 Recruiting stations are being estah- lished throughout the state. Wherever the home station of 8 company is To- cated a recruiting station will be maintained. Wherever temporary company headquarters are established a recruiting station will be opened. the guard will be practically doubled, At present the average number of men in a company is 70. This will be increased to more than 100 Many com panies are under full peace strength, due to the number of enlistments which have expired since the soldiers were mobilized, June 19 1916. Not oni /
 must full peace strength be reached,
 but the recruiting must continue un- til full war strength is maintained Montgomery will be the concentra- tion and training camp of about 2o- 900 soldiers if the dispatches from Charleston, S. C., quoting Major Gen eral Wood are correct. He announced that Atlanta would be the chief con ~ centration camp with training camps at Montgomery, Macon. Augusta and Columbia. S. c. Under this plan the southeastern division will send it's con- scripted soldiers to the four training camps and after they are trained-will place them in the concentration camr at Atlanta, from which they will be dispatched to the various fighting fronts.
 First reports indicated that the Montgomery camp would contain only about 5000 men, but further investiga tions Monday indicated that no less 1 than 10000 soldiers would be trained here. Several sites have been offere,
 ! for the training camp, but one prob
 l ably will not be selected until Major 1 General Wood can make personal in spection.

the railroad situation, and recommended legislation that would affect 10000 Amer ioan men, He then turned his atten- tion to the other issue of vital impor- tance to our country today, the enfran- chisement of the Porto Rican men,
 There was a little rustic. The Pres ident looked up. The members of Con gross turned in their seats. Hanging over the railing of the gallery was a yellow satin banner that read, MT. President, What About Votes for Women?" The President hesitated a moment then went on with his message. A page stepped up on a desk and pulled down the ban ner The whole episode occupied per haps 90 seconds.
 But the next morning, Americans read, over their breakfast coffee that the Pres ident of the United States thought votes for Porto Rican men a matter of vital national importance, while votes for American women the administration was willing to pass over in silence. And they also read that American women were not willing to have their citizenship so disregarded. The President was advocat- ing railroad legislation and Porto Rican eEfranchisement because he knew that, by making them administration measures they would receive favorable action from Congress. The women had called atten-
 
 women are really just as important as Porto Rican men, but also to the fact that by doing what he was doing for the Porto Ricans, the President could end the long struggle of American women for political freedom. The President had for gotten about justice to American women He was reminded in quiet, forceful, vivid way, not so satisfactory as a voice in the aaffirs of the nation but the only way accessible to 100000 citizens de- nied such a voice. He must not be per mitted to forget suffrage, because the passage of the Susan B. Anthony amend ment rests with him. And the President, who has come little farther each time he has expressed himself on suffrage, will eventually lend his influence to aid in the womens fight for democracy. When that happens, the beginning of the end of that long fight will have come.

VOTES FOR PORTO RICAN MEN:
 VOTES FOR AMERICAN WOMEN
By BEULAH AMIDON

The galleries and the floor of Congress are always crowded on those occasions when President Wilson, breaking all the unwritten laws for the President of the United States, comes in person to present the important issues of the day to the representatives of the people in Con gress assembled" The day after Congress convened in December in those far off days before the war" was no exception to this rule, and all available space was crowded with those who came to hear the chief executive discuss the vital issues of the day. Everyone knew that the rail- road legislation would be recommended but there was discussion as to just what other measures would receive attention.
 But there were at least two groups in Washington who were not troubled with curiosity as to the days proceedings. One group was composed of newspaper men, who had received a CODY of the Presidents address 24 hours before it was delivered. The other group sat around the political fireplace" of Cameron house, just across the square from the White House. They were the women who lead the woman's party, and they, too, knew what was to be said to Congress that day. And they knew, too, of the little group of i've women who sat in the front row of the gallery, listening 10 every word spoken, with strained atten- tion. Only five women, but they were spendidly representative of the woman hood of this country; there was Miss Ma bel Vernon, a young Swarthmore gradu- ate, secretary of the woman's party; Mrs. Anna Lowenburg, who came to this country as a political refugee from kiev, and is now giving her best en- ergy to the fight the American women are making for political liberty; Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles of Delaware, daughter of Grover Cleveland's ambas- sador to England; Mrs. John Rogers of New York a sister-in-law of former Sec retary of War Stimson, and Dr. Caroline Spenser of Colorado Springs, woman voter, and chairman of the woman's party in Colorado.

GRAIN MEN TRYING
 ID STEM THE TIDE
 SENDING WHEAT UP
Conference of Leading Men Will Be Held in Chicago Today to Discuss
 Situation

Chicago. May 14-The low swell of
 business disturbance due to the entry
 of the United States into the war
 broke in a crested wave over the lead ing grain exchanges of the country to- day, Tomorrow representatives Of
 these exchanges will meet here to dis
 euss the situation-the high prices Of grain, the runaway tendency of the
 market and the attitude of the Amer ican government.
 There is among influential Chicago grain men a sentiment that specula- tion in futures should be absolutely eliminated either by complete stop page Of the practice or by fixing maximum price for futures The sentiment, however, was by no means unanimous. Delegations are expected from Duluth, Toledo and Kansas City. The Chicago Board of Trade began the day by taking unprecedented ac- tion to curb speculation. Buying of May options in grain was prohibited and outstanding contracts were of- dered closed at or under maximum prices fixed by committee of the board. Trading in July and September wheat was curbed for a period of two days except al s2.75 or under for July and S245 a bushel or under for Sep- tember. The maximum price for clos ing out May corn was fixed at s1.6l1S and for May oats at 7S1s cents bushel
 The result of these regulations was sharp decline in wheat and advances in the coarser cereals. Net changes Tor
 the day follow:
 Wheat: July. 16 cents lower; Sep tember. Is cents lower
 Corn: July, 67s cents higher; Sep tember S5s cents higher.
 Oats: July, 11z cents higher; Sep tember. 2A cents higher. --.--.~.----.---.. At St. Louis, Kansas City, Duluth, Minneapolis and Toledo the boards took action approximately similar to that of Chicago. At St. Louis wheat
 declined 10 to 11H cents. at Kasas City 121k to IS cents, at Minneap-
 oils to IS cents. and at Duluth 13 to 1S cents. There was a holiday at Win
 nipeg--Arbor Day-but the board there
 voted to discontinue trading in Octo-
 Der futures, the only one recently
 quoted. St. Louis corn advanced j5s
 to Sss cents, while the rise at Kan
 sas City ranged from 6ls to cents,
