 Friends of Col. J. II. Edmondson of Anniston have started a movement which will place his name before the state democratic executive committee for democratic national committee man as the successor of Edward w. Barrett of Birmingham. editor of the Birmingham Age-Herald.
 Mir. Barretts successor must be named by the state committee and 1t is probable the selection will be made at special meeting of the committed which will be held shortly after the democratic primary August s. Mir. Edmendson's friends propose to com munieate with all members of the state committee and urge that he be elected for the unexpired term which will run for two years. Mr. Barrett was elected little more than one year ago as the successor of w. T Sanders of Athens, deceased.
 Mir. Edmondson has been an active member of the democratic party in <aldDdthd lOI many ycATS. lte IS now member of the state democratic executive committee for the Fourth congressional district and Is a mem Der of the governors staff with the rank of colonel. His political posi- lions have always been honorary and have not carried compensation. Mobile Publisher Also Mentioned Frederick l. Thompson, member O, the United States shipping board and I publisher of the Mobile Register, was prominently mentioned in political circles today for tho honorary posi- tion of democratic national commit teeman from Alabama as the success
 sor of Edward W. Barrett, editor of The Age Herald, who died suddenly Sunday night.
 Friends of Mir. Thompson have be come active and propose to submit
 his name to every member of the state democratic executive commit
 tee before the next meeting
 MT. Thompson was urged for the
 position after the death of W. T. Sanders of Athens nearly two years ago but when he found that Mir. Bar
 rett, his personal friend. was being
 urged he requested his friends not to submit ms name.
 It was pointed out today that MT Thompson spends practically all or
 his time in Washington and that he would be in close touch with the situation in the nation and would be
 valuable as a member of the demo- cratic national committee when the campaign begins about one year from this time.
 Some uncertainty has arisen as to
 whether the national committeeman will be selected by the present state executive committee or the one which will be elected August 8.
 It is not probable another meet ing of the state committee will be held before the primary and it Is possible that the members of the present committee will feel that this duty should be delegated to the com mittee which will take office imme- diately after the primary.

 ticallv every farmers organization has indorsed the Ford offer, and lat ters and petitions and resolutions are coming into Washington in every mall addressed to the senators appealing and pleading and demanding that they vote for the Ford proposal.
 Many in Favor
 "A poll of the Senate committee on agriculture today shows the fol- lowing senators in favor of accept ing the Ford offer. Smith of South Carolina, Ransell of Louisiana. Ken drick of wyoming, Harrison of Mis- slssippi, Heflin of Alabama. Caraway of Arkansas, democrats, and Ladd of North Dakota and Capper of Kansas, republicans. The republican senators on the committee who are supposed to be opposed to the Ford offer and either favorable to the Norris bill, or some other means of developing Muscle Shoals are, Norris of Ne- braska, Page of Vermont, McNary of Oregon, Gooding of Idaho, Mckinley of Illinois, Harreld of Oklahoma, Norbeck of South Dakota and Keys of New Hampshire. Both sides are doing everything possible to hold their forces in line and the shifting of one vote so far as the recommen- dalton of the committee is concerned will determine the Ford offer.
 Although the vote in the commit tee will be close. we have hopes of favorable report and if we fail to get 1t. we shall carry the fight to the floor of the Senate. There is no question but that the greatest bene- fit to the farmers of the country will come through the manufacture of at MnUrla 1, business success of Henry Ford in everything he has undertaken will insure the successuof the manufac- ture of fertilizers at Muscle Shoals and will result in savings of millions of dollars to the farmers of the country in the utilization of more and cheaper fertilizers"

HEATED DEBATE
 PRECEDES ACTION ON NSTAPLE COTTON
Final Acceptance of Seven Cent Tariff on Long Staple Cotton Follows Hot Argu-
 ment on Floor
By Associated Press

Washington, July 12.-The seven cents a pound duty on long staple cotton was approved only after long fight by Senators Cameron, repub- lican and Ashurst democrat, Ari- zona, to have this figure increased first to 14 cent sand then to 10 cents.
 Senator Ashurst said the Is cents rate asked for, represented only the difference in the cost of production in the southwestern states and in Egypt, from which country the United States imports approximately halt of its long staple cotton. He argued that the Arizona cotton was as good as that grown in Egypt and that if given protection the industry would grow to such an extent that 1t could supply all of the needs of the country.
 Stanley Opposes
 Opposing any rate on the staple, Senator Stanley. Democrat. Kentucky. declared 1t would be a blunder or the government to advance millions to reclaim the arid lands of the south west so cotton could be produced and then impose tax on all of the people of the country so that their cotton might be grown. This brought fiery reply
 
 the great consumption of eastern made goods by the people in the southwest to show that reclamation of the land had benefited the whole country. Also he denied that the re- ciamation had been a drain on the treasury, saying the money had been advanced from funds derived from the sale of public land and was being paid back to the government.
 4 4 -t. -Nx.. istic vigor. Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, democratic leader in the tariff fight, declared this was a mere Illustration of the character of this bill"
 Talk about the ship sibsidy," he exclaimed, this bill is rocking with subsidies, more in the nature of gra- tuities than the ship subsidy will be. This is subsidy to the growers of 100,0 900 bales of cotton to be paid by the people of the country many times over. In the case of the ship subsidy the government collects the money and pays 1t over to the shin owners but in thls ease the govern ment would authorize and empower the manufacturers of cotton goods to collect the subsidy from the people, paying over part of 1t to the cotton growers of Arizona ana putting the rest in their pockets"
 This brought a reply from Senator Shortridge. republican, California. who asserted that to call the cotton duty subsidy. had no weight; that protection of the industries of the country made for general prosperity thrdoughout the land, Ha argued that if the free trade principle of tariff writing were to be carried to It's logical conclusion American indus tries would be put out of business one hy one. as they could not without tariff protection compete with the cheap labor of the other countries.
