COOLIDGE PROVES

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEWARK, n. j., September If
the republicans of New Jersey had now
to register their choice for candidate
for president in 1924 they would name
Calvin Coolidge. Among republican
leaders the Coolidge sentiment is prac-
tically unanimous. They do not see
any probability that the twenty-four
votes of the state will 60 to any other
than Mr.. Coolidge. in the national con-
vention less than a year hence. The
rank and file Of conservative repub-
licans. and most New Jersey repub-
l!cans are today conservative, think
republicans is that If Mr.. Coolidge
makes mistakes they will be mistakes
of his party as we'll as his own-the
very mistakes that they themselves
would make, arising from a political
viewpoint rather than from any lack
OF ability to lead or from any other
shortcomings. Mr.. Coolidge Is re-
garded by the dominant group of New
Jersey republicans as one who en-
bodies their political beliefs even bet
ter than Mr.. Harding did. There is
Hiram Johnson movement. thus early
supported by paid advertisements in
newspapers, but there Is no sign that
the general public gives 1t more than
passing interest.
Back In the Old Fold.
Most of those New Jersey repub-
llicans who interested themselves in
the progressive uprisings of 1912 and
thereabouts have returned into the
settled order of party regularity and
are not now In a mood to take up
with reform enterprises. This is not

strength as to carry a presidential

state Hns No Coal.
The state. for household use. has no
coal. Just now, owing to a strike of
motormen and conductors on the pub
lie service system, which extends
from Camden to Jersey City. and ow-
ing also to jitney competition, the
state has not adequate local transpor-
tation. These situations may have
political reactions. Also. the cities
are still Justify demanding beer, a
fruitful democratic issue in the cam
paigns of recent years. Judging by
the last two gubernatorial elections,
New Jersey will warm TO a candidate
who is suspected, even If he does not
avow it. of favoring modification of
the Volstead act.
The democrats are more active and
more hopeful than they have been at
any time since Woodrow Wilson left
the governorship at Trenton to be-
come President OF the United States.
The Jersey delegation to the next
democratic national convention will
probably be pledged TO support Gov.

LABOR AGENTS ACTIVE

That the state tax commission will prosecute vigorously all persons undertaking to export labor from this district was the statement made here Friday by Frank c. Marquis, asso- ciate member of the commission. He said that the commission had caused the arrest of several agents during the past few days and that their trials would be held before Judge H. B Abernethy where convictions were expected.
 MT. Marquis said the exodus of negro labor from the Birmingham district was growing more critical every day and that every citizen should cooperate with the city. county and state authorities in bring ing to court every person guilty of enticing labor to other fields. He said that the license was almost pro- hibitive, being designed that way. and that the great evil to the Bir- mingham district and to the state had been reduced. However, he said the situation was far from satisfac- tory and that every resource of the state tax commission with it's en- forcement powers would be utilized to bring to account all labor agents and others conniVing in the exodus of negroes or other laborers from this section. Mir. Marquis will re- turn to Montgomery Monday.

WATER WAGON OBNOXIOUS

The pace of the water wagon is getting to be too fast for the citizens of Ensley. The recklessness with which the city of Birmingham wagon traverses the streets of Ensley has been the source of wide criticism i'll this section and will result in a pro- test being made to commissioner Dickson, it was stated Friday. Ac- cording to several citizens the driver of the wagon Is utterly without con sideration for the safety of vehicles in the streets or pedestrains. Friday morning several business men were shocked to observe the speed with which the wagon came hurtlng down Nineteenth street. With the siren wide open and water flying the driver spashed many women and children, and has been engaged in that devas
 tating pastime for some weeks. c. C. Burke and others who observed the wagon Friday said that the at tention of MT. Dickson would be called to the inexecusable reckless
 ness of the water wagon driver.

ENSLEY BUREAU l '- THE AGE-HERALD Ensley, Ala, Juno 15


 A campaign for several civic inn provements was initiated at the Fri day meeting of the Ensley Realty board. President J. J. Walker pre- sided. The board was informed that the final details on the gap existing in the Eighth avenue road had been arranged and that the signature of Morris Bush was the only develop ment lacking to bring about the com pleton of that work. A committee will arrange that and the gap will be filled. With the work completed the much needed highway on the north side of Third avenue to Ems ley will be finally achieved. The road has been built with the excep- tion of the missing link through the Bush estate and there has been in volved a long wait getting some en- Sineering lines worked out and other formalities before the work could be done properly. The report made Fri day settled every doubt and it is be- lieved that this badly needed high way will be ready for travel within a short time.
 The beard received from the Ems ley Merchants and Associated Busi- ness Men a communication offering the fullest cooperation in getting that work done and asked to be as signed to whatever duties the real estate men wished to give them to the end that the work could be finally handled. The opinion is now that there will not be any further delays on the road.
 The realty board also started a plan to have the city pave the side walks down Pike avenue to Ensley South Highlands and to complete a proper sidewalk to the high school. It was pointed out that students were now forced to walk in the streets or wherever they could in order to reach the high school through the city properties. This matter will be taken before Commissioner Dickson and it is expected that something definite will be dtne.
 c. c. Burke was named a delegate to the general convention of realty boards to be held in Cleveland and he will attend from the Ensley board. The board also decided to ask the city of Birmingham to assign truck to this section so that work in the alleys could be handled with out delay and to ask the ladies of this section to assist in the work of clearing the alleys of accumulations of debris. There will be appointed committees for this work and the realty board expects some very defi- nite improvements. The meeting was attended by every member, it was an nounced, and the luncheon was served in the old pastorium of the Bap- tist church.
