Fastest Growing City


From a town Of 1000 poulation in
1908, Gadsden has jumped into city
of $4,000 within the municipal limits
and has $4,000 in ra6Ass OF five miles

from the Alabama city, who was in
Birmingham yesterday.
"Gadsden is the best and fastest
growing city of it's size in Alabama"
Mr.. Lee stated. IT counted IL new
brick business buildings in course of
construction last week. 1t is impos-
sible to house the newcomers.

judges of the district courts, governor
and all state elective officials, shall
be nominated at state conventions in
stead of at statewide primaries. 1t is
a compromise measure passed by the
two dominant political parties in this
state. 1t seeks to remedy many of the
objections to the primary system.
The primary law has been tested
for 10 years and has in many respect
been found wanting. 1t was in 1908
that the last state conveitnon was held
in Idaho. The action taken by party
manipulators at that convention forced
adoption of a new system for nominal
ing candidates. The late Senator
Weldon B. Hepburn was renominated
at that convention. So was Thomas r.
Hamer for congressman. In fact the
convention was stampeded for Hamer,
although two-thirds of the delegates
We're pledged to vote for French. The
late Senator James H. Brady was
nominated for governor at the same
time. He came within an ace of being
defeated by the combination that was
formed. There was great hue and
| cry over the action taken. Demands
were made for adoption of the primary
law. The Legislature following later
adopted it.
| Objection to the primary has been
growing for some years. Many men
who would have taken a nomination
! from state convention declined to
make the financial sacrifice for q
campaign under the primary only to
be sacrificed at the political altar. The
cost to the state was very heavy. II
was proportionately heavy to the can
didates seeking nomination. They
| found because of the geographical
conditions of the state it was diff
cult to make campaign without
heavy cost. Many candidates who had
the time and the money spent both
literally and successfully. They We're
4 usually nominated. These conditions
soon aroused criticism. Then came
the action of the Non Partisan league
new political organization, but claim
ing to have no political affiliation
which captured the nominations in the
Democratic party by voting in the
Democratic primaries as a body. By
many this was considered the lasi
straw.
The new law adopts the primar,
lprinciple as to the nomination Of coun.
ty and legislative delegates and decid.
