THIRD CANDIDATE OUT FOR CONGRESS
 IN TENTH DISTRICT
A. U. Hollis of Sulligent, Member of Legislature, Wants Place Held By
 Bankhead

A. L. Hollis of Sulligent, member of the legislature from Lamar county, is the latest entry into the race for Congress from the Tenth district
 Formal announcement of his candi- dacy for the position now held by Rep .resentative William E. Bankhead was made in Birmingham last night by Mir. Hollis.
 Representative Bankhead, who will be a candidate to succeed himself is al- ready opposed by J. Mason Douglass of Russelville, young lawyer who served during the wa in the army and was decorated for gallantry in action One Or more other men have been re- ported as almost certain entries in the race and with the formal announcement of Mir. Hollis, it may be assured that d lively fight will be staged in the Tenth district.
 In making his announcement last night Mir. Hollis gave out the blanks in his platform, fourteen in number Among other things he favored a strict com pliance with the Monroe doctrine, a greater and more efficient merchant ma rine, guarantee of the rights of Ameri- can citizenship, both on land and sea. economical administration of the govern ment and the adoption of the budget system, a just and generous policy in carrying out the payments under the war risk insurance act, protection of the people from unjust exactions of corpor- ate interests and capital, the exclusion l. g.fx. .rr ,.E1 T erdanger the safety of American so ciety, the preservation of states rights, liberal appropriations to exterminate the boil weevil, appropriations to promote the live stock industry in the South. fed eral aid for highways and liberal edu- cation and vocational training for dis abled soldiers.
 MT. Hollis, who has been prominent in political affairs in West Alabama for a number of years, was elected to the leg islature in 1918. As a member of the house of representatives he was ac- tive in securing the adoption of the workmen's compensation act and other legislation which is declared to have been beneficial He opposed the tonnage tax and number of other features of the revenue bill
 He was borne near Suligent and has resided in that section of the state all
  for seven years and was later mayor of Sulligent prior to becoming member of the legislature.
 MT Hollis, who is 55 years of age, had two sons in the Service. one who volun- teered in the navy. the other in the army. He himself was especially active during the war in various kinds of war work.
 In discussing his plans for the cam paign last night, MT. Hollis declared that he intended to make an active can vass of the entire district. and that he had hopes of defeating Representative Bankhead, regarded as the most form- dable opponent in the contest.
 In this opinion, MT. Hollis is not unlike J. Mason Douglass, another announced candidate, who, too. is directing the greater part of his attention to the task of convincing the voters that Mir. Bank head should be displaced Other entries are regarded as highly proba ble and it would not prove surprising should there be at least three opponents to Represen- tative Bankhead.

est on these school bonds it Is said that moro than s70o.,9O more than the present appropriation will have to be devoted td purposes Hence if the teach CTS demands are met not only must the entire proceeds from the hve-mill tax oe given to them, but an additional s30l,Cp to pay the interest on the bonds and other incl iental expenses must be provided for.
 While the opinion is unanimous at the city hall that the teachers should re- ce.ve more pay, at the same time it Is pointed out that 1t is next to impossible to grant the salary demands contained in the schedule.
 Members of cre commission and of the board of education decline to comment on tie situation or to state what action will prooaby be taken with reference td raising the salaries of teachers. In the meantime the public will await with in terest inc outcome of the conference to be hcid within the next day or two.

 The department several years ago. acting under authority of an act of con- gross, established branches in seven tiiicS anu idtcT Otl iOCdteu CO-OperdIlVe branches in eight others. The seven branches are maintained by federal funds while the salaries of the manager and clerical assistants at the others are paid by the civic or trade organizations of the respective cities. The depart nlent of commerce supplies all trade news and necessary stationery to ali branches and cooperative branches alike, the only difference between them being the financial support accorded one and not the other.
 The cities having branches at the ex- pense of the government are New York, Chicago, Boston. St. Louis. Seattle, San Francisco and New Orleans.
 The eight cities in which cooperative branches are located are Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Philadelphia, Balti- more. Portland, Ore, Los Angeles and Pittsburg.
 New Orleans is the only city in the south having branch of either kind.
 The city in which one of the CO., operative branches is located is required to guarantee that it will be operated for at least one year.
 It is stated that Birming gham has an excellent chance of securing a CO., operative branch and the committee at its meeting Thursday is expected to compile such data as may be necessary for presentat tion to the department of commerce when the petition for the loca- tion of a branch here is filed.

COX HUNTING
|NBLUE GRASS
Used to Seek Quail; Now Trails
Votes in Kentucky With
League as Weapon.
BY HARRY L. ROGERS,
Internat tiOnal News Service.

EN- ROUTE WITH GOVERNOR
COX, Elizabeth, KY, Oct. Gov.
James M. Cox, Democratic Presi-
Dental nominee, today followed his
annual custom Of going hunting in
kentucky-but there was a differ
ence. Instead of hunting quail, as
in previous years, he passed the
day in hunting for votes.
Governor Cox's entry into Kentucky.
signalized by a speech in this city this
morning. marked the beginning OF the
last phase of the stumping tour which
was to carry him up to the election.
He was to travel across the State into
Tennessee tonight for the speech far
thest south" at Nashville.
In the speech here, Governor Cox
followed his new campaign tactics of
featuring the League OF Nations, to
the virtual exclusion Of all other Is
| sues. He developed his address along
lines he has dwelt on hitherto but lit
| tie. namely, the economic aspects Of
| Americas entry into the League. CIV
ing special prominence to the extern
sion of international trade which. he
said. would result as soon as foreign
affairs are settled.
Kentucky this year is one OF the
efforts the Republicans have been
making to win this State away from
its normal tendency to go Democratic
in national elections. The fact that
it has at times gone Republican in
State elections has given the Repub-
licans a hope Of carrying 1t this year
| for Senator Harding. Both State or
ganiZations are intensely active and,
| at this stage Of the campaign each
| Is predicting victory.
Glenn e. Plumb. of "Plumb plan"
fame, accompanied Governor Cox
from Columbus to Cincinnati last
night and they had long confer
ence aboard the Governors private
car. After the conference it was
stated that the Plumb plan had been
discussed only incidentally. 1t was
said that Plumb gave Governor Cox
considerable Information concerning
the railroad situation in general and
! the CuGmins-Esch law in particular.
! II was announced today that in all
probability Governor Cox will de-
| liver rear platform speech in
Marion, the home of Senator Harding,
when the governors special passes
through there next week.
