such verifcations were a check both

to the use to which the orders were put.
The very large amount of business
transacted by both these offices and the
many different departments with which
each has TO deal, more especially the au-
dltors Office, makes it imperative that
examinations in future should be made
by expert accountants who can give suf-

HUDDLESTON IS INDICTED ON MANY
 COUNTSbY JONES
Charges Infidelity to War Party in Congress and Democratic Party, State
 and National

Many voters in the last primary conscientiously believe George Huddles- toms official record was distorted and he was persecuted by the newspapers wrongfully," said Emmet A. Jones, sec retary of Joseph o. Thompsons cam paign committee. For the benefit of the fair minded people who really wish to know the unvarnished facts in the case, l, as secretary of J. o. Thompson's campaign committee, make the follow ing charges against MT. Huddleston's official record and will substantiate each and every one with evidence un- disputable-The Congressional Record
 T ask the question, Is George Hud- dleston a democrat?' and indict him of intidelity to the war party as follows:
 George Huddlestons first vote as a congressman was with the repub licans on question of House rules.
 George Huddleston bolted the demo- cratic party in 1896 and actively sup ported Palmer and Buckner.
 George Huddleston again boIted the democratic party and actively opposed the democratic nominee for mayor, Frank V. Evans, in 1896.
 George Huddleston's congressional record points out 24 times he bolted the war party Tn Congress. The na- tional democratic leader is at the head of the war party.
 "President Wilson said George Hud- dleston had opposed the administration in every way.
 Alton B. Parker. former democratic candidate for President of the United States and now vice president of the National Security league, through that organization, urges the defeat of George Huddlestcn because he attempt ed to obstruct 24 vital war measures in Congress-
 Authentic and undisputed evidence discloses these potent facts. Detail in formation on any or all of these seri- ous charges against George Huddles- ton can be had at Joseph o. Thompson's headquarters.
 Many citizens voted for Huddleston in the primary believing these charges were untrue The purpose of this state. ment is to invite public inspection of the original documents that indict George Huddleston on charges of in- fidelity to the war party in Congress and the democratic party. both state and national"

Meetings Scheduled for Bol den Burr, Dr. Holmes and Others Deferred by
 w. c. Adams

District rallies for the united W work campaign have been deferred b cause of influenza, but they have Il been called off. and state health thorities express the opnino that the meetings yet may be held before ti campaign begins November II.
 Eighteen meetings were schedulen for Burden Burr and a party of ex- ecutve men in the southern portion of the state and many were arranged for Dr. W. B. Holiness and similar party in the northern part of the stale Their rallies were to have begun aon October 24. After a conference with pr. SAW. Welch, state health officer State Chairman w. Carson Adams, an nounced that the schedule would be rG- vised and the dates of the various district conventions and rallies woiiitl be announced at a later day.
 This will not interfere with the cont ferences of district leaders to be held at Jasper and other centers, when n few active workers will get togethel for purposes of furthering campaigu organization. The speaking tours ard intended for the purpose of acquaint1 ing the people of Alabama, through first-hand sources, with the things thad the r. NJ. c. A, '. w. c.

 Chairman Adams stated today that influenza may interfere with some of the plans already made and that in- dividual effort and the work of the newspapers would have to be increased because of the epidemic, but that no circumstances, great or small. shall decrease the vigor of the campaign, which is for health, comfort and hap. piness of American soldiers and sail- ors everywhere.

RESPONSE MUST BE
 GREATER F QUOTA
 WOULD BE REACHED
Red Cross Appeal for 4O00 Sheets and 15,0O0 Towels Not Meeting With the
 Proper Response

Birmingham's quota for the Red CroA linen shower has not yet been reached and unless the generous public of Bir- mingham responds more literally during the remainder of this week than they have during the past week, the allot- ment of 4o00 sheets and 15,OOo towels will not be secured
 The call is urgent and these sheets and towels are badly needed in American every effort is being made by the wom- en in charge to secure the number called for from Birmingham.
 These sheets and towels may be used by your boy, my boy and our neighbor's boy said Mrs E. H. Cabiness. chair man of. the executive committee. .,anu we would hate to think that some brave soldier suffered for lack of clean linen in the hospitals through the thoughtless- ness of the people at home. We want the men as we'll as the women, to assist in this drive for linen, and as the sheets must be extra long we would rather have donations of money so the shooting may be bought by the bolt at wholesale prices.
 Birmingham has never failed to do what the government asked her to do, and l feel sure the patriotic citizens will not fail at this time"
 An appeal had been made to the pu- pills of the public schools and a hearty response was expected, but the closing of the schools prevented the linen show CT being held as had been planned.
 Miss Key a member of the ladies quartet which appeared at the Lyric theatre several weeks ago. and which was to make tour of the cantonments for the entertainment of the soldiers, was prevented from going on account of the influenza epidemic, and has been assisting in various ways at headquar- ters of the linen shower in the store on Third avenue, formerly occupied by the Newsome Candy company.
 Any one wishing to make donations of linen are requested to bring them to headquarters. and If the bundle is too large to carry, please notify Red Cross headquarters on the balcony of Love- man, Joseph & Loeb, and they will be sent for. Those wishing to make cash donations are requested to make them payable to the Red Cross linen fund and leave them at headquarters or mail then, to Mrs. Cabiness or Mrs Oscar Hundley.
