BOOSTERS
MAY TAKE
CAR CAMP
$1,000 Purchase Will
Be UP at Special
Meet of Cherrians
Tomorrow Night

Well-founded reports indicated
this afternoon that the Salem auto
camp grounds, over which there
has been much discussion since the
Salem council refused to consider
their purchase by the city, will
soon be taken over from the Sa-
lem Commercial club and operated
as the property of the Salem Cher
rians.
1t is known that a meeting, to
which at least 10 prominent
Cherrians will be invited, will be
held tomorrow night for the pur-
pose of discussing the proposed
move. Milton Meyers, retired
merchant, is said to be behind the
action and prominent Cherrians
admitted today that the proposal
is generally favored among mem
bers of the organization. Mr..
Meyers was not in the city today.
Time Is Granted.
44
The consideration involved, it is
understood, will be $7700. The
property is valued at $1,000 and
the equipment at $500.
Some discussion Of the proposed
move was held quietly at the
Chet,rian meeting last Tuesday
night, but at that time an option
was held by an individual who
considered buying the grounds.
Today that option has expired
and, it is understood, T. e. Nc
Croskey, manager of the Sommer-
cial club, has agreed to allow the
Cherrians a reasonable length Of
time in which to determine what
action they wish to take.
Fee to Be Charged.
Some of the Cherrians mention
ed as sponsors Of the move are
Milton Meyers, John Roberts,
David W. Eyre, DR.. e. j. Fisher,
Otto Hartman, J. G. Perry, H. o.
White and DR.. H. H. Olinger. If
the purchase Is made, however, it
probably will be taken over by the
organization as whole.
Should the Cherrians buy the
groupds, further improvements
probably would be made and a
small fee would be charged each
camper. 1t is believed that the
promoters would soon be returned
the money they had spent in pur-
chasing the grounds and from that
time on any profit which might
be realized would revert into the
Cherrians' fund,
Move Good One, Belief.
'I believe 1 have clear enough
vision to see that the move would
be a good one," one Salem finan-
eier, who is a Cherrian, said this
morning, "and | am of the opin-
ion that the Cherrians, by pur-
chasing the property, would be do
ing the city of Salem good turn"
Other Cherrians, prominent in
civic work, also spoke favorable of
the plan.
On many occasions the city
council was urged both by the
Commercial club and other organ
izations of the city, to purchase
the grounds. A few weeks ago the
were requested to put
the matter before the voters at
special election. This plan was
first defeated by a heavy major
ity, and at a later meeting mo-
tion to reconsider was lost by a
vote of seven to four.

ert Malcolm Ramp in their

solving the great needs and advanc- ing the causes of agriculture"
 Forms for the qualification of can didates for the state convention were enclosed in each letter. "Conscript your busiest and most representative farmers and business men and send them to the convention" urged MT. Moore. ''They are not too busy Go spend one day, September ', in Mont gomery to help write a plank In Gae platform that will bind all Alabama to a definite and constructive policy of developing the agricultural and industrial resources of the state."
 Muscle Shoals also will be an issue which must be handled in the state convention. This issue is linked with agriculture. Friends of Muscle Shoals have shown great activity during the week and it is regarded as certain that attention will oe given to the state convention by the friends of Muscle Shoals before the expiration of the time for dualifca- lions at midnight next Saturday.
 Considered Important Offices
 Many democrats look upon the state convention as carrying the most important offices which will be filled at the August primary. While d delegate has purely an honorary po- sition and one which will cause him to incur personal financial obliga- tions his work will impose obiga- tions upon all persons elected to pub lie office during the next four years Even though members of the legisia ture have personal views regarding issues, first attention must be given
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-03-26

have made their platforms and have interpreted democracy's doctrines as they saw fit. The state democratic executive committee in January pro- vided for state convention which was charged with the duty of pre- pairing another platform. In this platform the party proposes to go before the voters in the general election. Whatever the personal views of the various candidates for political preferment their views will be subordinated to those of the off cial spokesmen of the party in Ala bama, who will be the delegates to the state convention.
 Farm Interests Active
 Friends of agriculture have ap- pealed to farmers and persons inter- ested in agriculture to become inter- 'ested in the convention. J. M. Moore, supervisor of foods, feeds and drugs of the state department of agricul- ture, during the week addressed a letter to farmers in many sections of the state urging them to see that delegates who will favor a liberal. plank regarding agriculture Is placed in the platform.
 MT. Moore pointed out that the members of the legislature which will be organized next January will be bound by the platform of the con vention. "Will the delegates of your county vote for an agricultural plank that will be a hindrance or an aid to the coming session of the legis- lature? asked Mr. Moore. eWho are the men anyway and are they actively concerned with you about
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-03-26

to the platform of the state conven- tion because this platform when adopted becomes the pledge of the democratic party of Alabama.
 Lack of interest in the legislature has caused democrats much worry in some counties. A member of the legislature does not make expenses while attending the sessions in Mont gomery and for this reason few per sons feel that they can make the financial sacrifice which is necessary. However, interest in the legislature has become greater during the week and 1t is not improb bable that be- fore next Saturday midnight each county will have furnished it's quota of candidates.
 Any candidate for the legislature either house or senate. must file his declaration with the state democratic executive committee and, under the corrupt practice act. must designate a person, either himself or another. to handle all campaign funds. The former declaration may be filed either with J. H. Webb, Mobile, chairman, or Hugh White, Montgom- cry, assistant secretary of the state democratic executive committee The statement required by the corrupt practice act must be submitted to William P. Cobb, secretary of state.
 The democratic executive commit tee has construed the office of repre- sentative in the legislature to be a state office and a candidate for a state office must file his declara- tion with the secretary of state. While a representative Is named by
