COMMITTEE LIKELY ID REVOKE RULING
 ON SEPARATE VOTE
Webb Mailing Inquiries to Membership of Executive Body on Suggestion of
 Matthews

Action of the state democratic executive committee in dividing Jefferson county into two sections, as far as the vote in the August primary for solicitor, circuit court clerk and judges of the circuit court is concerned. will likely be re- voked, due to general dissatisfae- ton among the candidates for these offices.
 Chairman J. H. Webb, of the state committee, in a letter to members of the committee. has suggested the revocation. He asked that commit teemen inform him by mail as to their feeling in the matter in order that the action may be. rescinded, provided such a step is favored by the majority.
 The question of whether the Bes- semer and Birmingham districts would be separated for the vote in the judicial elections was reopened on suggestion of Ernest Matthews. chairman of the Jefferson county democratic committee, in letter to Dr.. Webb, which follows:
 The action of the state democrat tic executive committed. in dividing JtlItISOn tOdIlly UT tltt Poi POSCS Ck the primary, relative to the judicial races, has been a source of a great deal of criticism in this county. In my opinion this action of the com mittee was i'll advised and should be rescinded.
 "A number of the candidates for the various judgeships have made protest to me about this matter and have asked that call your attention to the objection and request a recis sion of the action by the state com mittee. Tn addition to the objections satisfaction in the 'Bessemer cut off and the protests to me have been frequent and vigorous.
 Tt Is my opinion that the action of the committee was not authorized by law and unless rescinded will lead to litigation. This is particu- larly true of the circuit clerkship. which is. county office and not under the control of the state com mittee.
 T suggest that meeting of the state committee be called to meet in the city of Birmingham at an early date and an opportunity given those who desire to protest the mat ter to answer before the committee"
 MT. Webb replied as follows:
 T heartily agree with what you have to say in your letter of recent date and am submitting to the mem- bers of the committee the question of the revocation of the action com plained of, and feel confident 1t will be done.
 T enclosed copy of youn letter. and also had sent to each of them the article of MT. Weatherly, pub lished in The Birmingham News Personally. I would have preferred to have considered this in commit tee meeting, but 1t Is very doubtful whether or not quorum could have been obtained"

CALLS FOR SUNDAYS !
RELIGIOUS EFFORTS =
NOT LIMITED TO U. S.

If the call gets much stronger. Billy
Sunday may be preaching beyond the
shores OF the United States, following
in the footpaths of other famous evan
gelists.
But just for the present he is stick
ing to the United States and refusing
any invitation to leave, in spite Of the
calls that come to him.
For Rev. DR.. William A. Sunday has
received a call TO conduct series OF
meetings in Belfast, Ireland, which,
added to the list of other invitations
from foreign lands, almost convinces
! him that there might be a real desire
on the part of those people to hear
his message
Il don't know whether they'd under
stand my jargon over the seas or not.
Mr.. Sunday said in commenting on the
call. 81 know my own folks, and I'm
not convinced as yet that the Lord
wants me to go over there"
Preached in Canada.
The only sermons that Billy Sunday
has preached outside of the limits OF
/ the United States were two single ser
mons preached in Toronto and in Van
couver, in the interests of the dry
| fight in Canada. Outside Of that his
whole 26 years of preaching has been
within the 48 states, of which he has
touched all but one, Maine.
| Other evangelists have made ia
nous world tours. Mrs. William Ash
er and her husband were with DR..
/ Chapman when he made his tour of
the world in 1909 and 1910, and DR..
| Moody and Torrey have also made
| famous tours.
| Within the last few months, Mr..
Sunday has received calls to preach
in London, Edinburgh, Toxic, Honolu-
lu, Nagasaki, and from the Church
/ Federation of Australia which includes
Sidney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide
| and Perth.
At present, Mr. Sunday has a wait
ing list of about 35 or 40 American
cities, and is definitely booked up for
a year ahead, and is adding the sec
ond year gradually.
The invitations which Mr. Sunday
has received would make it very easy
to swing around the whole world, so
it is possible that he may go.
Amy way" says Bob Matthews, sec
rotary and pianist, who has already
been around the world himself, 81
don't see why a great part of the stuff
Mr.. Sunday has to say can not be
understood. American slang is known
over a good part of the world now, and
he would not have to revamp very
much of his vocabulary"
For the time being though, Mr.. Sun
day is pretty we'll convinced that the
people of America need saving. and
will give him about all the work thai
he can handle for a while.
