FARMERS UNION
 FAVORS PRIVATE CONTROL

Washington, June 9-(SpeciaD, The Alabama division of the Farmers Co., operative and Educational union of America, is adverse to legislation which would put the Chicago packers out of business, which would permit the gov, ernment to acquire the property of the packers, or which would permit the gov, ernment to control the operation of the packers business by commission.
 Statement to the above effect is made by O. P. Ford, secretary treasurer or the Alabama division, to members of the Alabama delegation in congress
 Mr. Ford intimates that the opinion Of the Alabama division is also the opinon of all other divisions. He states that he. himself, at one time, favored government operation of certain public utilities, but that the experience with the railroads had cs used him to change his mind.
 The farmers he added, favor regula- tion of the packers by law, but not their control. During the last session of con gress, as is recalled, official inquiry was made in the packing industry of the United States for the aseertainment of whether or not the packers had profiteer- ed during the war.

Washington, June 9.-(speciaD. = The Washington Post this morning prints the following special from Philadelphia;
 Senator Borah is right" said former President Taft today when told of the references the Idaho league of nations op~onent made to him yesterday in the senate.

 q agree with Senator Borah in that characterization of the attitude of the democrats toward me.
 "One of my chief interests in the, pres ent situation, one that moves mel even in my grave, is to prevent other fun erals

President Has Stirred
 Republicans To Action
Now Devotng Entire Time Dscounting the Political Coup in Wilson's Message-Equal Suffrage Lobbyists
 Are to Be Sent to Alabama
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, June 9.-(SpeciaD.-In his message to congress on the date of the reconvening, May 19, the president, by a clever political coup, anticipated the re- publicans in many vital respects.
 Since that time, they have attempted to get even" with him. And their game has been so translucent that a child run ming might have read.
 For instance, they have called upon the state department a second time for the treaty of peace although they know the President cannot make it public without Violating promise made to his asso- ciates And they have prepared to in- Vesugate just how copies leaked to New York. For the unfortunate circumstance that Germans printed the copy, and it eventually fell into the hands of speeu- lators, the republicans would hold MT. Wilson responsible.
 But their most patent application of the rules of politics was when they ex- pressed an appeal to the peace commis- s1oners to consider the Irish question after England had appealed to it's asso- ciates to refrain from a consideration of that topic. This action was calculated by the republicans to appeal to the Irish Catholic vote of the United States, vote which. incidentally, has been considered democratic.
 And the same is true of the Plume case. The people of Plume, going over the head of the peace delegates, appealed directly to Senator Lodge, and the republican ma jority in the upper house. The appeal received attention, and verbal indorse- ment from Senator Lodge.
 And thus the Italians in the United States should support the republican nominee, who may be Lodge, or perhaps Penrose.
 Democrats, as a rule, took no part in the above tranactions. The investi- gation of the peace treaty leak was or

to remark anent the offer. Said one of the new entrants in the campaign: Why, l didn't experience a bit of trouble in reaching the top of the vote column. You give so many votes on subscriptions that it ought to be perfectly easy for any candidate, even tho she has not yet started

 OPFROM ST. JOHNS
 ID THE IRISH COAST
By Associated Press

Washington, June g. Official con firmation that the navy department contemplated transatlantic flight with the dirigibIe C-5 without stop from St. Johns, N. F., to the Irish coast, is contained in Lieut. Com. l.. w coyrs report of the C-5's voyaae from Montauk Point, L, L, to St. Johns, N. F. The report, made public for the first time today, shows that the C-5 made remarkable flight lasting 25 hours and 30 minutes, during which the airship covered more than 1922 sea miles without difficulty, although ad- verse weather conditions were en- countered practically throughout.
 The report indicates that the C-5 would have been a serious contender for the honors captured by the NC-4 later had she not been torn from her mooring at St. Johns and blown out to sea
 During the flight cold was the greatest hardship encountered and even that was not really serious,'' Command CT Coyl reported. Had the crew not

The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-06-10

Today's candidates in The Age-Heralds s great automobile and prize campaign are confronted with but 12 days in which they may take advantage of the best op- portunity to establish their vote standing on a firmer basis, one that will place them decidedly to the fore in the ulti- mate distribution of 10 attractive auto mobiles and 40 other valuable prizes The special offer of 100000 extra votes on each SSo club of new subscriptions closes Saturday, June 2l.
 These 12 days will show, if reports are to be credited, that aggressiveness and aptitude are distinctive characteristics of the young men and women who are par tieipating in the Age-Herald's campaign. Just as was originally announced, no bigger special vote offer than this will
 be forthcoming.
 New candidates are finding this offer to be an excellent means of gaining in a few hours, as many votes as the older contestants have That explains why so many young men and women have enter ed only in the last few days, and are still continuing to come in
 For those who have thus far made no arpreciable gain in their vote standing, this offer should appeal strongly, In addition to all the regular votes that are given on each separate subscription, a club of enough new subscriptions to amount to $S0 entities the candidate to 10C. GOO additional votes. To get up one of these clubs is but a few hours eff fort among friends and relatives, and no limit is placed on the number of clubs that may be turned in.
