Former Senator S Defeat at
Primaries Due Chiefly
To His Unpopularity.
FAILS TO PROGRESS
Reversal at Polls Does
Not Indicate, Widespread
Wilson Strength.
BY WILLIS J. ABBOT.

San Antonio. Tex, May 4. - The
results of Saturdays primaries and
today's conventions in all the coun-
ties of Texas seem to indicate def
initely the failure Of former Senator
Joseph w. Bailey to come back. His
local managers deny this, saying
that the vigor of his campaign for
the governorship will only be in
creased by his failure in the prima-
ries. which were attended by only
a small fraction of the Democratic
voters.
But the extent of defeat. coupled
with Bailey's immediate and silent
departure for Washington, justifies
the belief that his candidacy for the
governorship has suffered a mortal
hurt The issues on which he bases
that candidacy-antagon to the
administration. hostility to prohibit
ton, opposition to the treaty are
in the main those upon which he has
just suffered dire defeat.
The measure of that defeat may
be judged from the fact that he
was beaten in his own county and
ward. and that. in the State conven-
tion to select delegates to San Fran
cisco. Bailey will have fewer than
200 delegates out of 1.4OO.
Bailey Opposed ny Drys
On the surface this seems to he:
First-A victory for the Wilson
administration. which Bailey bitter
ly attacked.
second-A smashing victory for
the drys. since Bailey based his
appeal upon opposition to pTohibl-
tion and a demand for drawing the
teeth from the VolStead law.
Third-An endorsement of the
treaty and the league Of nations
which Bailey denounced with all his
notable oratorical skill.
But election results are not so
easily classified. The visitor to
Texas does not find commonly eX-
pressed public sentiment, outside of
that of Federal office holders. so
strongly for the administration as
to explain the vote, and while pub
lie sentiment is unquestionably for
the maintenance of the prohibition
law. Texas, having been dry long
before the United States. there
should have been enough wets in
a contest like this to give their
champion at least a respectable
vote.
Bailey Himself to blame.
I think the defeat of the Bailey
ticket must in the main be ascribed
to Bailey himself Texans, with
whom L talked prior to the voting

sentiment at his attempting to figure

He resigned a seat in the United

the State continuously for twelve
years.

should have been in a less domineer-
! ing capacity than that of candidate

FUNDS NEEDED FOR UNPAVED STREETS
Available Fund Inadequate to Repair and Maintain
 Streets, Says Burruss

These days Commissioner Henry Page
 Burruss is an harassed man. He is try
 ing to do $35O,0o0 worth qf unpaved street
 repairs and maintenance work with an available total of s55, 300, which must last
 through 1920
 Que of several hundred miles of paved
 r'~eets Birmneham has about SS miles
 that are paved The rest of them have
 been treated from time to time with chert, slag, gravel and other things. 1t is these latter that will depend on that
 s55. 800, to be kept in order. and Mir Bur russ figures that it will take an easy $350 GOO to get them in shape and keep them in shape for q while.
 The main hope the department has, MT. Burruss says, was for more citizens to order the streets in front of their homes paved, thus reducing the unpaved mileage, but in this day and time it is hard to get contractor to take paving | job at a figure the city and citizens will agree to pay

 Then 1t was stated, if they were not

 It was stated to representatives of The Age-Herald last night by those who are Investigating the reported statements tEat they have no intention of taking cognizance of any attack which may have been made on Senator Underwood. The position was taken that Senator Un- derwood was so we'll known throughout
 the nation that no criticism which may
 have been made at the suffrage meeting i would either add to or detract from his ! reputation. | However. it was held Chat if aspersions | | ad been cast upon the men of the south, | the women Of Birmingham should take l cognizanee.

 Power Company

Transfer of the street railways and the electric lighting, properties of Gadsden, Alabama City and Attalla Railway Company to the Alabama Pow CT Company has been formally ap- nroved bv the Alabama public service commission, and the power company will formally take charge just as soon as a few necessary prelimiparies can be arranged.

 The city of Gadsden two or three months ago ordered an election for the
 purpose of voting bond issue to build a municipal lighting plant. but later on the mayor and city council opened negotiations with the Alabama Power Company to enter that field. Aftei considerable negotiations the power company consented to do so in the even properties and franchises of the tWs companies then operating electrl' street railways and furnishing th' electric lighting for the city could p purc/ased at reasonable price Term were agreed upon for the pNrchase o these companies and the city counci recalled the order for the munieipa 1 light plant election.

Some of the most prominent women of Birmingham occupied attitude of watchful waiting last night
 Upon the statement which Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs makes in The Age-Herald today rests their future course of ac- tion.
 Should it be found that Mrs. Jacobs remarks at the Chicago suffrage meeting had been grossly msrepresented, that she had made no attack on the men of the south for their failure to ratify suf- frage amendment, and should these wom- en be convinced that Mrs. Jacobs did not refer to Alabama and this section of the country as ignorant and lnsineere and bound by tradition, there will be no further cognizauce taken of the incident, But should these women of Birmingham l still not be convinced, should they feel that reflections were made upon the south and the men of the south, they propose to take action, according te statements made last night by some ol the leading clubwomen of the city. 1 It was declared that number of tele- | grams were being exchanged by these
 women. all of whose names are promi nent in civic and club matters of Blr

PRESIDENT TEACH NOT TO-BE RETIRED
 WRITES GOVERNOR
Advices From Auburn Last Night Says Trustees Today Will Grant Further
 Leave

Dr. Charles c. Thach, presi- dent of Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, who is on leave of absence because of ill health, will be granted further extension of this leave at the annual meeting of the board of trustees of the institution at Auburn today.
 Information considered authentic in- dicating this action was revealed in Birmingham last night. It had been reported that President Thach might be made president emeritus of the insti- tuition on full salary and some other, probably William F. Feagin. elected to the active presidency
 Advices from Auburn last night Were to the effect that Gov. Kilby had writ ten a letter to Mrs. Thach, the wife of President Thach, in which he told her that he had received letter from the physician of Dr. Thach at Johns Hop kfns' hospital at Baltimore which con- tained redSSurlng news apQut the con- dition of the Auburn executive
 The governor is quoted as having as- sured Mrs. Thach that he favored the granting of further leave of absence for President Thach since the advice from his physician was that he was re- covering andythat he would probably be able to resume active charge of the institution.
 The receipt of this information ir Birmingham last night forestalled the forwarding of petition signed by probably 200 local alumni urging thai Dr. Thach be retained in his position and that no steps be taken looking toward his retirement as long as i was reported that his condition was showing great improvement.
 It is announced that there will no be another meeting of the board oi trustees of Auburn until commence ment and it is believed by those 1T touch with the physical condition oi President Thach that the state of his health will be such at that time tha' there will be no movement made tt replace him.
