DEMOCRATS MAKE
 BETS AGAINST GOLFER
Continued from Page One.)

absolute bar to Golfers taking his seat and there is no question that in the event he is disqualified by the courts, Hunt would hold over. It is true that Wiley Jones and few lawyers who are ambitious to land jobs have given it as their opinion that way can be found to get around the plain provi- sion of the constitution, but he real talent of the state pronounces the pro- vision as an absolute barrier to Col ter's filling the governors chair.
 Great Demand for Book.
 There has been a great demand for the booklet issued by the Republican State Committee entitled "The People Overruled." This pamphlet gives the history of the contest case and con- tains specimen ballots, reproductions of exhibits in the case, showing the pre- else way in which Tom Campbell was counted out. Golfers supporters in Phoenix threatened to have the au- thors of the book arrested for con tempt of court but were apparently advised that the pamphlet does not constitute contempt, as the case which is discussed is closed. At any rate the contempt would not be committed in the presence of the court and jury trial could be demanded. The pamph- let quotes Judge Franklin and Judge Stanford and is fair relation of the questions involved in the contest.
 Jesse Boyce Surprised. ..
 Jesse Boyce, state auditor, who won a reputation at San Diego, was a very much surprised man, when the Repub- licans nominated a candidate against him. Charles w. Fairfield of Wins low, who will oppose Boyce, is one of the best known business men of northern Arizona. He is an account ant by profession and was for time assistant auditor of the state of New Mexico. He has resided in Arizona for some time.
 J. G. Compton Winner.
 One of the Republican nominees who has a splendid chance of election is J. Grant Compton of Tucson, who has been placed on the ticket as nom- inee for corporation commissioner. He will oppose David Johnson, present state treasurer, who was Jesse Boyce's partner in the San Diego affair. MT. Compton is conductor on the south ern Pacific and is one one of the high officers of the Order of Railway Con- ductors. He is member of the Dis trict Exemption Board at Tucson and is widely known throughout the south ern portion of the state. Mir. Comp ton is very popular in railroad cir cles and stands high in Tucson, his home city. He is an energetic fellow and will make vigorous campaign.
 Speaking for Liberty Loan.
 In accordance with his promise, Tom Campbell was prompt to adjourn poli- tics when the Liberty Loan campaign opened. There has been great demand for him as Liberty Loan speaker and he is trying to arrange his schedule to accommodate all the cities and towns asking for his services.

DeGaris says there was no excitement on board; that every man did his part just the same as in practice drill when the order Abandon ship" is given, and all hands are more anxious than ever to get back to duty. They were picked up by two torpedo boats, and then transferred to liner which UoAched New York last week.

a deal of money to handle the necessary exI enses connected with the work of the democratic executive committee and l would gladly answer your letter by remittance of the sum assessed against me if I felt I might legally do so,' said Attorney General Tate. However, my construction or the act of 1915, page 50 commonly known as the corrupt practice act, together with the act of the legisla- tGre approved Setenber 2, 1915, (Acts 1915 pages 722-3), convinces me cannot legally make this payment and 1 am constrained ed to say that, in my opinion, the demo- cratic campaign committee cannot legally make and collect this assessment. feel sure that the campaign committee over looked the two acts above referred to in making this assessment against candt- dates and that this was done through in adyertence. l also feel sure that when the acts are construed as whole ana in the light of legislative intent the com mittee will agree with me and withdraw the resolution adopted by them upon which the assessment is based.
 Several candidates held up their checks when they heard the attorney general had ruled that the assessment could not be legally made and that they would be liable to fine and imprisonment if they paid it. One candidate had already mailed his check to the committee and called on it to hold it until an under standing had been reached.
 Attorney General Tate was asked orally if the committee could request the can didates to make contributions to the party He said the corrupt practice act pr ohibited a person from soliciting funds from a candidate, but that he be- lieved the candidates could contribute after the election when a general request for funds from all democrats had been made.

NE WS OF BESSEMER|
MISS BERNEY cILLEN, corre.psnd.n.

Bessemer, June 2S.-(SpeciaL )-The committee in charge of the War Saw ings Stamp drive in this city is meet ing with phenomenal success, it was announced today. Bessemer citizens again have come to the front and demonstrated their patriotism A spe- ciaI feature of this drive is that no individual may subscribe over 5000, which has forced every citizen, inclua- ing children, to do their part. The ''Haffner Hustlers' have proven a pow erful machine and not only have they interested and educated the white cit izens as to the country's needs, but also preached the colored citizens who have responded nobly under the leadership of Dr. E. II Gregg.
 The Rainbow division of this city has made a splendid showing during the past few days work at the down. town booths. On Thursday S4S00 was collected, under the leadership of Mrs. R. M Childress. while today's report, with Mrs L. B. Michaelson, chairman. passed the $5000 mark. The reports of the canvass made by the woman's committee has not yet been made.
 All members of the legal advisory board who assisted the registrants of the 1917 class in filling out their ques- tionnaires will assist the class of 1918 in the same manner. Notice has been called to the fact that the question: naires issued at this time are slightly different from the original one, and members of the board should be care full to notice the change. Question naires were mailed from the local ex emption board starting last Tuesday and these registrants will be allowed seven days in which to have them filled out properly and returned to the local board. Assistance in this work may be obtained by applying to any of the members of the legal advisory board.

AUTO TRUCK LINES BETWEEN TOWNS
 IN STATE PLANNED
Alabama Council of Defense Calls Conference of Busi-
 ness Men for July 15

Montgomery, June zS.-(SpeciaL)-In an
 effort to relieve the railroads of all
 short haulage so they may devote their
 facilities to the movement of long
 distance shipments and war materials.
 the Alabama council of defense today
 called a meeting of the prominent busi- ness men, representatives of Chambers
 of Commerce and operators of motor
 trucks for Montgomery, July l5, with a view of establishing automobile truck lines for the handling of freight between points in Alabama. This action was teken by the state highways transport conmittee which was recently created by the state council, and will have the cooperation of the state highway com mission.
 Automobile truck lines having regular schedules and maintaining tariffs for the hauling of freight like railroads have been established in other states and have proved successful. The state council
 called the meeting here at the request of the council of national defense at Washington. Much space in freight cars is used now in short movements which could be carried overland on the trunk roads of Alabama. This is especially true of eggs. poultry and products of the
 farms now being shipped to the cities for consumption.
 0EdInbeES OI 1OIilIHtICb Ol E~NSA@<~~'ttiCASt BiImingham, Mobile, Selma. Dothan, An niston, Gadsden, Decatur. Florence, Shef- field and Huntsville were invited to send representatives and to request all oper- atcrs of motor truck lines, passenger or freight, to attend. The state hihgway commission will also issue invitations. An automobile operator named Patrick | is now contemplating the establishment of freight line between Troy and Elba, distance of 30 miles He has operated passenger automobile between these points for sometime. The state council believes much interest will be manifested in the movement because an automobile line can deliver goods direct to the con signees headquarters while the railroads deliver only to the stations, requiring
 another handling before the shipments can be used.

PARTY COMMITTEE ASSESSMENT NOT
 LEGAL, SAYS TATE
Attorney General Refuses to Pay $50 Requested-Ren-
 ders Long Opinion

Montgomery, June 2S.-(Special) F. Lloyd Tate, attorney-g general and candidate for reelection, declined to- day to pay the assessment of $50 lev jed against candidates for attorney general by the subcommittee of the state democratic executive committee, and in a letter to A. F. Fite, chairman of the subcommittee. stated that each person levying such an assessment rem dered himself liable to a fine of from s25 to $100 for a misdemeanor, and that a candidate paying the assessment would be liable to fine of $500 and tion of the corrupt practice act.
 Mir. Tate set out sections of the cor rupt practice act and a section of an additional law enacted just before the adjournment of the legislature which prohibited the levying of any assess ment against a candidate for office and required that all expenses of party primaries shall be borne by the state in the future.
 He pointed out that Section of the corrupt practice act prohibited per son from making any contributions ex- cept those set forth. Another section of the same act provided that a party executive committee could levy assess ments against candidates, but the leg islature just before adjournment en- acted into law bill offered by Sem ator Holmes or Baldwin, which said: "No person shall be assessed a fee by the committee or other governing body of any political party in this state as a condition for standing for nomina- tion to any office in primary elections" He construed this law in connection with the previous law to prohibit any candidate from paying such assess ment.

FRENCH WAR ORPHANS

Mrs. W. D. Taylor, who is chairman of the work of securing adoptions for the fartherless children of France, is in receipt ofthe following from Col, T. o. Smith of Birmingham, who is chairman of the branch of the American Society for Relief of the French War Orphans. The letter follows;
 My Dear Mrs Taylor: Permit me to personally thank the people of Bes- semer, through you, for their generous aid to the French war orphans.
 Naturally, l would feel close to them on account of the many relatives and friends 1 have there, but I am drawn more closely to them on account of the true and active spirit of patriotism with which they have responded to every demand of our government There is no more loyal spot in Alabama than the city you represent, and it is such spirit of fervent patriotism that you have manifested that makes this na- tion invincible and will lead to ulti- mate victory.
 "Bessemer has given us our first hero, as well as 100 per cent service in every war enterprise, and now in this meritorious charity of the French or phans, she has displayed a liberality so truly great and wonderful. l would be derelict in my duty if I let the action pass without expressing to you

CIVIC ASSOCIATION ID RESIST PROPOSED
 STEAM HEAT RAISE
Special Committee to Inves- tigate New Highway to Cahaba Field to Prepare
 for Coal Shortage

The Birmingham Civic association voted to resist the proposed raise in steam heat prices by the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company at meeting of the board of directors held yesterday afternoon, and provided for the appointment of committee by Act ing President c. R. Harsh to carry into effect the resistance in the increase be- fore the public service commission of Alabama.
 The city commission of Birmingha m will be petitioned to instruct it's city attorney to join n the resistance and to employ the same special counsel that was furnished last fall by the city and the Civic association, jointly, which fought the increase then proposed 5uc- cessfully. The committee to take up this matter will probably be appointed today by MT. Harsh.
 Robert M. Griffin, city purchasing agent; Max Blach and others appeared before the board and presented plans for having the board of revenue on active cooperation of the Civic associa- ton construct four miles of additional road to the Cahaba coal field over Red Mountain in order to open up those mines to truck transportation and in preparation of the anticipated coal short age in Birming ham this winter.
 The board of directors appointed a com mittee, composed of Judge William k. Fort, chairman; w H. Staton and John w.. ONeil, to investigate the feasibili- ty of the proposition, the cost to the county and to form an estimate of the daily tonnage that might be opened to truck transportation in this manner
 When the investigation is completed the committee will appear before the board of revenue and present their con clusions It is roughly estimated that at least 800 tons of coal per day could be delivered in Birmingham by trucks from the mines.
