AUTO LICENSES
 OVERDUE MONDAY
Ten Thousand Car Owners Have Failed to Get
 Tags This Year

All automobile and business li- censes become delinquent Novem- Der 1.
 With only one day left in which these license tags may be purchased. less than half the number Issued last year have been sold. From the time the probate office opened yesterday morning until it closed late in the afternoon the corridors and halls leading to the office were thronged with automobile owners lined up to obtain their license tags. More than 2,O00 tags were issued yesterday, bringing the total number up to 1U,- 900 at the present time.
 Additional clerks have been pro- vided to handle the crowds and to assist in giving the public prompt and efficient service.
 November l a penalty of f5 per cent will be charged in addition to the price of the license tag
 Never before since have been connected with the probate offlce have automobile owners and business men been as slow in obtaining their licenses as they have this year." said Wolsey Morrow, chief clerk of the probate office. and unless all pre- vious records in the number of H- censes issued in one day are broken Monday many will be forced to pay the penalty.
 Last year 10000 automobile tagi were issued. and up to the present time only half of this number oi owners have purchased their licenses Of course. there IS no way to ayoit paying the license if you operate an automobile, so all persons wishing to buy them are urged to come a. early tomorrow morning as possible in order to avoid the congestion tha is sure to come in the afternoon"

WANTS BRANDON
 MADE GOVERNOR
 AND UNOPPOSED
Former Governor Jelks Says Tuscaloosa Judge Certain to Win - Opposition
 Would Make III Feeling

Former Gov. w. D. Jelks is among those who are favoring the unani- nous nomination of Judge w. w.. Brandon of Tuscaloosa as democratic candidate for the governorship of Alabama without primary election.
 Governor Jelks says he feels that the nomination of Judge Brandon is a certainty, and therefore he sees no need of the friction in the state which an election might cause.
 Governor JellSs is also advocating the nomination of Charles H. Me- Dcwell as lieutenant governor, and expresses his belief that he gill also be nominated.
 Yes, I think the nomination of William w. Brandon Is certain" Governor Jelks said yesterday "1 cannot conceive of the possibility that any man can defeat him. He mas a wonderful acquaintance with Ala bama affairs and has been a student of Alabama affairs since his early manhood. He will make ar honest, ircrrruptible and splendid executive.
 His popularity Is almost univer- sal. extending to every hamlet. Pos sibl.' no man ever lived In the state who had so many warm, devoted and unscifish friends. which friends he has earned by devotion to every duty and drawn to him by his own unself- ish nature.
 T think MT. Mcdowell will be elected lieutenant governor. There is no finer man anywhere than Son ator Mcdowell. He is clean. honest and able. I have known him inti- mately all of his life. He will make splendid officer of the state.
 T suppose the two men will have no opposition. Their popularity is proven by the unwillingness of the possibly ambitious to try conclusions with them. We will just hope that we are to have one nomination with out an. friction whatever. It Is a splendid time to have perfect peace in fEa state"

By DOLLY DALRyMPLn

When the word went out from the Birmingham Automobile club that we hadn't sufficient cars for the Presidents parade and the floral pa- rade in spite of the fact that the dealers had contributed so generous ly. the ladies of Birmingham respond ed most cordially to the call" said Charles c. Davis. president of the Birmingham Automobile club, in whose hands the arrangements for cars for the parades during the semi centennial was placed.
 "The ladies showed fine spirit of cooperation In offering their cars, which was a deprivation to them, be- cause If there ever was a time when people wanted the use of their cars 1t was prior to and during the big semi centennial festivities" he con tinued. Tt took, of course, time to decorate the cars and during that time the owners either had to walk or ride on the street cars, so I think the ladies who loaned their cars should have their share of praise for
