DEMOCRATS NAME MOLUMPHY
Many Women Attend Democratic Cau- cus-Town Meeting to Be Held To- Ncwsy Items.

Because of a shortage of cement. it Is possible that the work of put ting in concrete on the Berlin turn pike from Cedar Hili to Berlin street cannot be completed until spring of next year. The highway commission CTS said yesterday that the concrete is' necessary because the macadam heretofore used has been badly cut IT'D every spring because of the heavy truck traffic.
 It would have been possible to have completed the highway this summer and f91l before the frosts set in had there not been shortage of cement But almost all of the ce- ment comes from the Lehigh valley in Pennsylvania and consequently by rail. Commissioner Bennett said that because of the railroad strike. em- bargo and freight car shortage but 125 cars of cement have been re- ceivcd. ono hundred and sixty car loads are necessary to finish the work and therefore only five miles of concrete has been laid. This leaves two and three-quarter miles yet to bc finished and Commissioner Ben nett said that in all probabilit it will not be done this year.
 The entire job will cost $500. .0O0 and lbV men are now being used Tn the effort to complete the job. They are now working on the stretch Sin fpont of the Blake and Woodruff store which will be finished this week. ' McCarroII Is Manager.

Chicago, June In assembling in
Chicago the Republican national con
vention is sitting in the section where
the Republicai party was first named
and within 200 miles OF where the first
recorded Republican meeting was
held sixty-six years ago The 1920
though with the passing Of the years
and the development OF new issues
the first steps Of the party have
passed from common view.
1T will probably not be possible to
trace TO the earliest date the first
positive meeting which led to the for
nation Of the new party, writes
Francis Curtis in his history Of the
Republican party. 1T is quite likely
that there was no considerable gath.
ering of men, nor discussion OF plans
and policies, until A. +, Boyay, a
wing OF Ripon. Wis. together With a
Mr., Bowen, Democrat. and a Mr.
Baker, a free soier, issued call Tor
a public meeting to consider the now
alarming situation"
The great issue Of The hour was the
extension Of slavery. OF the political
situation prefacing the formation OF
the Republican party. Mr. Curtis says
No political party was able 10 elect
enough members of congress to over.
rule the united will OF the slave hold
eYs, and until the anti.slavery sent.
ment OF the north should be so welded
together, and its opponents should be
so united in on party as to be able
to send 10 Washington enough men to
ontyote the representatives OF the
slave power, there was no hope hat
its advance could be checked"
Reference was made to the Ripon
meeting by Henry Wilson, when Vice
President Of the United States, in his
book, "Rise and Fall OF the Slave
Power published in 1874 One Of
the earliest, il not the earliest of the
movements" he said, that cont EN-,
plated definite action and the torma.

MAINE

torials on the Maine election, the
Tribune and the Sun and New
York Herald will surely pardon
us, says the New York World, if
we turn to their equally ecstatic
editorials on the Maine election
of 1916.
On September IL. 1916, the
morning after Maine voted, the
esteemed Tribune authoritative,
ly announced that IF Names
vote truly represents conditions
throughout the country, Mr..
Wilson'S chances of reelection
have become almost negligible. y
The next day it counted the cleo
toral votes in this fashion:
Names vote shows clearly what
that reckoning will be. Using the
Maine figures as basis for calcu-
lating the completeness of the Re-
publican Progressive union, Mr..
Wilson can count with certainty
only ON the Solid South with Mis-
souri, Kentucky and Maryland
doubtfuD, and of the rest of the
Union on Arizona only, with a
faint chance in Nevada.
The Sun was less specific but
equally confident. 1t did not
venture to call the roll of the
states, but made it clear that
everything was over but the
shouting, inasmuch as Maine had
spoken:
Analysis of the Maine election re-
turns, which are nearly all in, leaves
no room for doubt that national is
sues were paramount in the cam
paign, and that the result is an in
dex Of what will happen in Novem-
Der when the Nation votes for
President and members of Con-
gress. Well may Nj, Hughes say,
IL don't see how we can lose now."
And then Mr.. Hughes went
right ahead and lost in spite of
Maine, in spite of the great plu-
rality it gave to the republican
ticket. in spite of the tender
reconciliation between Elephant
and Bull Moose and in spite of
everything. President Wilson
not only had a majority in the
Electoral College, but in the pop
ular vote he beat Mr.. Hughes by
more than 500, 900. So much for
Maine.
Doubling the electorate is like
ly to produce surprises of many
kinds, and the Maine election is
a case in point. About half the
women in the state voted. The
other half did not go to the polls.
Of the women who voted, most
of them voted the republican
ticket. The republicans, with
plenty of money and workers,
had been engaged for year in
organizing them in anticipation
of the ratification of the Nine
teepth Amendment. The demo-
Gratis, with no money and few
workers, did little in the way of
organizing the woman vote. The
result shows that the republicans
were able to get out large per-
eentage of their woman voters
and the democrats were not,
which means anything anybody
wishes it to mean.
Senator Harding is certain that
the returns from Maine indicate
a return to representative gov
ernment under the Constitu.
ton that is. the government
of the United States by a little
ring of republican senators. We
have no desire to chill the fine
enthusiasm of that amiable gen.
tleman or mar his front-porch
meditations, but a much abler
republican, Charles f. Hughes,
was badly fooled by the Maine
election in 1916, and the West
has acquired the habit of forget
ting that Maine is on the map.

The entire Cleve- land team was on it's toes and when Myers slapped a sizzling grounder to Gardner. the Indians third baseman, shot it back to ONeill, forcing out Olson O'Neill endeavored to turn the play into second out at first but his throw hit Myers in the back as the latter raced for the initial sack. Johns ton was on the job, however, and rushed up the base line, where he picked up the ball and hurled it back to O'Neill in time to catch Wheat try ing to score, O'Neill aiding the play by completely blocking the approach to the plate for which he was roundly booed by the Brooklyn fans. The play was entirely legitimate, however, and Umpire Connolly, who was officiating behind the plate, paid no attention to the protest of the rooters. Brooklyn's other runs were scored without any at tendant features.
 J. JHNSTON STARS
 Jimmy Johnston gave the Brooklyn fans the first real opportunity to cheer when he beat out single to deep short in the first inning It proved to be the opening of the first run. Johns ton added the second quarter of the run when he made clean steal of second and ambled to third while Griffith was being disposed of at first. Captain Zach Wheat came to the front with timely hit to center which sent Johns ton across the plate, Wheat by fast sprinting making his hit count for double.
 Griffith added to his record as timely hitter in the fifth when his sin gle to short sent Olson home with tho third and final run of the game. The Brooklyn shortStop got on by connect ing with one of Bagby's fast ones for single. He advanced to midway while Johnston and Bagby were disposing of the formers brother, and from that point completed the circuit on Griffith's hit.

 The young larks were afraid when the farmer told his sons to go and get his neighbors to help cut the grain, but the mother lark stirred not
 The young larks were more frightened when, neighbors having failed to respond to the cry of vicarious occupation, the farmer sent word to his kith and kin that they were needed in the harvest field. The mother bird stirred not.
 That evening, however, when the farmer was heard to tell his sons that he and they would cut the grain in the morn ing-that evening the lark and her brood moved out.
 It is dog-goned busy world By the time man has gotten through the work that enables him and his to live, he is about fed up on the struggle for existence It is neither fair nor sensible to expect him to shoulder the burden of another family.
 The government is the affair of all the people, not a portion of them. The gov ernment cannot with fairness to all nur- ture a special interest.
 Every piece of fruit on the stands in Birmingham in September came from California except the bananas of Central America. Not an Alabama peach or ap- pie was to be seen. What enabled this fruit to travel thousands of miles and sell at profit? Nothing on earth but the CO., operation of the California fruit growers.
 The Alabama cotton yield again faces critical situation. Mills are not receiv- ing orders and are not in the market for cotton. The more that is offered at pres ent low prices, the lower they will trend.
 No one is going to care for this situation unless 1t be Alabama cotton interests. , The federal reserve system can go no fur .ther than rediscount paper based on cot ton that is properly stored and insured. Bank money is not the money of the bank to speculate with, but that of the deposi- tors to be handled to their advantage in unquestionable forms of investment.
 The rest is matter of cooperation of all the Alabama interests involved in cot ton. They include banker, mill man, warehouseman and producer. They in- clude every life, fire and accident insur- ance company doing business in Ala bama. They include every merchant and every broker.
 w. D. Nesbitt, an experienced cotton handler, says it all in these words:
 The only escape for the farmer is
 to stop trying to sell until someone
 wants to buy and then to market his
 crop gradually over a period of
 months as the worlds needs and
 financial ability can absorb it.
 The men with money must follow the example of B. B. Conner; lend to the pro- ducer on stored and insured cotton. It is the business of men with money to do this, . because loss to the producer is direct loss to them-every one of them from re- tail merchant to bank and insurance cor poration.
 It is the duty of the producer to store and insure his cotton so as to enable the loan. ..ss...

ment in the weather did not quite equal standard set in the opening game. The sky was overcast when Grimes served up his first pitch, a strike on Jamie son, and there was little wind to dis concert the fielders. Although the sur cast only occasional rays on the dia- mond, the air was warm and with out the nipping chill which accom- panied Cleveland's victory yesterday Still there were scattered vacant seats singly and in pairs in both the lower and upper stands The spectators, as a whole. appeared to view the struggle with apathy, only occasionally giving vent to a concerted roar of approval or encouragement There was an utter lack of team roofing while the songs and music, which have made othe: world series conspicuous from a local standpoint were as much missing as during the opening game
