Dental nomination, Gov. Cox thinks.
The school teacher. John Q. Baker.

whose name Cox declines to give.
became angry at a story the NOM

N NICE the armistice was signed there N has been much agitation for political X J1ivision in the south.
 Many northern republicans and many substantial southern democrats have expressed the wish that two real parties should exist in the south.
 In the Birmingham district and in At lanta, and in many other progressive business sections of the south there Is a men who have believed in the principles of the republican party and who have af- filiated with it before coming to the south as manufacturers and business men.
 There has developed large Hoover ele- ment among the business people of the south-these people knowing Hoover to be a republican in politics.
 have affiliated with the democratic party all their lives-whose fathers and grand fathers were democratic-who were almost eager to affiliate with the national re- publican party because of the fact that there has been so much populistic and radical sentiment prevailing in the or ganized democratic party in quite num- Der of sections of the south. r $ F
 But all this feeling and attempted or ganization and agitation has been knocked into cooked hat by the action of the Republican National Committee in Chicago during the past week. This com- mittee has more or less appealed to the negro agitator in several southern states and has seated as delegates a large nua- ber of negroes of the type of Henry Lin coin Johnson. of Atlanta. This negro had something like 5000 of General Woods campaign money sent, him to get a Wood negro delegation from Geor- gia. He got both the 5000 and the negro delegation. And the Republican National Committee seated tho negroes, regard less of the fact that there is very large element of respectable and substantial people in Georgia who are republicans po- /! litically.
 The same thing was done in Tennessee. Yet to the credit of Alabama the white republicans control, and white delega- tion goes to the Chicago convention. It is manifest from the action of the leaders of the republican party in Chi cago that they are still appealing to tn

negro of the south and insist that the
 republican party of the south be negro party In this action they are driving every respectable white man in the south into the democratic party whether he wants to or no.
 Likewise, in appealing to the negro sentiment, the managers of the repuo- lican party will eliminate many repub- Iicans in such states as Illinois, Ohio,
 Michigan and West Virginia where large negro colonies have been builded up in the industrial field.

 | I well remember some twenty-odd years ago at the republican convention in Chi cago when General sherman, Russell A. Alger, James c. Blaine, Benjamin Har- rison and others were candidates. Money was being freely used and the negro delegates were almost standing on the block offering their votes to the high est bidder One negro delegate from | Georgia, as black as the ace of spades, but bedecked in the most gaudy of cos- tunes, told me, in response to a ques- tion, that he had never made so much money in his life. He had sold out to three different candidates on three dit l ferent days and was ready to make sale on the following day.
 i Some writer at that time well com-
 pared the votes of the negro delegates to the scenes in old slavery days, when
 they were put on the block at an auc-
 tion sale and sold to the highest bidder.
 Negro votes then at Chicago sold for as
 high as a thousand dollars, I was told,
 and many of them were sold several | times over.
 1 The same scene promises to be enacted
 in the Chicago convention next week. l Frank Hitchcock was a youngster in those days, but he we'll knows the con-
 dition of affairs when negro delegates are seated In a republican convention, and lie is enough of politician of the professional type to take advantage Of | the situation.

To Select Site for
 Baptist Hospital

MMUCH consideration has been NVH given to the proposed site for the Baptist hospital, but no conclu- sion has been reached, and will not be, perhaps, for several weeks.
 The cities that have offered sites are Birmingham, Selma, Huntsville, Albany, Tuscaloosa and Bessemer. All are in earnest, but the locating com- mission, before reaching a determi- nation, will make thorough survey of each site and will study the sit uation from every point of view. Clin- ical facilities and sanitary conditions will come first.
 It goes without saying that Bir- mingham is best suited in general way, although the other cities com peting offer excellent advantages.
 Clinically speaking, Birmingham easily leads the rest. And another important question that must be weighed is that of patronage.
 Birmingham is noted hospital cen ter. People come here for treatment from all parts of Alabama.
 The Baptist hospital is to cost two hundred thousand dollars. The city that is chosen will be ready to sub- scribe a large part of the funds. The commission, headed by Dr. J. R. Hobbs, as chairman, is able and Ifar-visioned. If the new hospital is not the largest, it will be modern in every respect, and perfect in all it's appointments. Assuming that Bir- mingham will be selected on it's merits the Baptists may be assured of hos pitable welcome into the large circle of local infirmaries. It should be an easy matter to raise the required money.
