SURPLUS SHOWN BY BAPTIST HOSPITAL. Although Not Run For Profit, It Shows Sound Finan-
 ciaI Standing

Selma, November 5.-especiaI)- The Alabama Baptist hospital in it's first eight months of existence has a substantial surplus in excess of op- erating expense and free work, ex- ceeding the expectation of even the most optimistic trustees, the first an- nual report of the board of trustees, made public today shows.
 We are pleased to note that the year closed with a substantial oper- ating surplus in excess of operating expense and free work. Of course, 1t will never be the purpose of the hospital to make money, but it is expected to meet all operating ex- penses," said one clause of the re- port.
 Rev. Bristow said that plans are already under way in north Alabama and in the district of which Mobile is contained, to establish new hos pitals, and he believes that these two will be built within the next two or three years.

, kegee will again be named associate judges of the court of appeals. Patterson's Statement Chairman Patterst ms final state-
 ment for the democratic party fol- lows:
 Another campaign in behalf of demochatic principals and the demo- cratic nominees in Alabama has now been brought practically to a close. Democratic speakers and the press of the state have informed the people as to the issues involved in this cam paign. Democratic workers in the va | rious counties where there are con- tests have discussed the issues with their neighbors. All this has been
 done without abuse and without vim dictiveness, the democrats believing
 that it should be amply sufficient simply to make a plain and fair state- ment q the failure of the republican party to perform its pledges and to recall to the minds of the people, who are now in a position to think more soberly and fairly, the great beneficial legislation in behalf of all the people that has been enacted un- der democratic administration dur ing the recent years.
 Our experience in this campaign
 has convinced us that many repub- licans In Alabama who are not mere officeseekers, when they consider that they will continue to have demo-
 cratic state administration and other
 democratic officers in authority, have
 decided that it will be better for them
 to follow democratic leadership and to espouse the democratic principles
 and hence they will vote the demo- cratic ticket.
 The democrats in Alabama have nominated clean, honest and public spirited men for all offices from the | highest to the lowest, and because of the high character of the demo- | cratic nominees they will receive a great deal of support from men and
 women who heretofore have voted 1 the republican tickes, because these
 voters want just, good, and clean ad ministration of their affairs. whether | it be county, district or state.

WATER SUPPLY AT
 TALLADEGA SHORT

Talladega. November 5.-(Special.) In a statement this morning, Super intendent D. J. Daugherty of the Light and Water commission, stated that the water Situation is hourly growing more alarming. The water stage has now reached that poi Tt where the pumps have to be shut down at intervals to let flow in the wells catch up. In the higher parts of the city many consumers are unable 10 get water from the pipes, so low is the pressure.
 Today the Talladega Pipe company and the JacksonT Tinney Lumber com pany are barely receiving enough water to operate, and should these two plants close down it will cost the city a weekly pay roll of $10,000.
 Industries in the lower parts of the city are not having such diffi- culty, and the cotton mills have their own supplies. There are places in the city where under normal condi- tions the city supply is used, that are now hauling water for domestic pur- poses.

 Thanks Hugh White
 "The state campafgn committee takes this occasion to express it's gratitude to all the speakers and workers who have given so generous ly of their time and effort. The va rious democratic county campaign managers have impressed us as put ting forth their best efforts to in- form the people so that they might vote with understanding. In behalf of the committee I desire to acknowl- edge grateful appreciation to Hugh White, who in the capacity of sec retary and treasurer of this commit tee has in reality done the real work for the committee.
 ssHe has been untiring in his ef- forts to make the campaign a sue cess from every point. and the suc- cess of the campaign is due in large measure to his efficient service. The state committees publicity director Fred H. Gormley, has rendered splendid service to the party in get ting the issues clearly before the people. We are under especial ob- legations also to J. c. Inzer of Gads- den, who as chairman of the Seventh congressional district campaign com mittee has spared neither time nor effort in his efficient management of the campaign in this district. \ Invites Support
 We extend a genuine and sincere invitation to all the voters of Ala bama regardless of past political af- filiation to join us in the support of the democratic party, which from the days of Houston to the present day has done so much for the develop ment of the good state of Alabama and the betterment of its people and which under the faithful and capable guidance of our next gover- TOT, w. W. Brandon, tne friend of the people, will bring Alabama to greater strength, prosperity and hap piness
 Alabama is and will continue to be a soldly democratic state. and all the voters should have voice and an influence in selecting the state officials and in the administration of it's affairs. This can only be se- cured by supporting the democratic nominees from constable to governor. Let us all join hands not only Tn the industrial and agricultural develop ment, but in the political develop ment of our state.
 'eThe Alabama seaport amendment having received the unqualified in- dorsement of both political parties, their campaign committees. and of practically every nominee for office in Alabama. should receive the sup port and indorsement of all the voters of the state. The ratification of this amendment will enure to the inestimable benefit of all the people of the state without increasing the tax burdens"

ALL EYES TURNON FIGHT IN OHIO AS
 ELECTION IS NEAR
Both Sides Claim Election. Harding Interested With Pomerene Looming Up
 as Possible Victor
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,
 5OQ Davidson Building.

Washington, November 5.-(Spe- cial.) al.)-Irrespective of the interest that might be centered in election contests in various other states, all eyes are turned on Ohio.
 It is the Presidents state. If he is emphatically indorsed, all his anx- iety regarding his own candidacy two years hence will pass away. If he is not indorsed, it is said to be probable that republican strategists will deem it best that he not offer again.
 The situation is regarded by both democratic and republican headquar- ters as doubtful Every report reaching shington is to the effect that democrats will win But how can they when the entire republican party has centered its fight by spell binders and money in Ohio? That question is asked.
 The Lone Democrat
 At the present time, everybody in official life from Ohio is a republi- can save Atlee Pomerene, the senior senator. The. President, to be em- phatically indorsed, must encompass the defeat of Pomerene by s. D. Fess must secure the election of his personal friend, Carmi A. Thomp- son, as governor, and must not lose too many republican seats in the House.
 It is indicated in Washington that Pomerene will be victorious, and that 10 of 22 seats in the House will be captured by democrats If that in- dication materializes, democrats will claim that the President has been repudiated in his own state.
 The President has been the issue in the Ohio campaign. Naturally, therefore, the republicans have strained themselves. Despite re- ports, the odds are against Pom creme.
 White House A-trembIe
 But should Pomerene emerge vic- torioIs, he would be the democratic Warwick, it is pointed out. He would have talk n Ohio from the President, who carried it by ma jority of 100000 over James M. Cox. He would have won despite the elo- quence and logic of the Presidents cabinet. and the leading republican orators in the country: and despite the strategy of the wiliest politicians that the G. o. P. could put into the field; and despite the expenditure of a sum of money which, it is alleged, should eliminate "Newberryism" from the lexicon of politics.
 He would be groomed for the dem ocratic nomination two years hence. But can he make the hurdle? Watch ing his attempt, the White House is all a-tremble.
