 Executive Of State

JACKSON, Miss. July 25.-Missis- sippi Is expected to cast the largest vote in it's history August [, when democrats of the state go to the polls to nominate candidates from governor to constable.
 The vote, it is estimated. will be between 220,000 and 245, ,000, due to the fact that women for the first time will participate in purely state election. Last year in the sen atorial primaries the highest vote With women casting ballots was lso,O0O. But this year every county and every beat therein has it's can didates whose friends and relatives have Insisted upon the eligible wom- en registering.
 Five men are, candidates for gov ernor and the two usual factions are represented. Sennett Connor, speak CT of the house of representatives and the youngest candidate in the field, and Henry l.. Whitfield, former president of the Mississippi College for Women and once state superin- tendent of education, represent ono faction called the "antisH as opposed to the old Nardaman democratic ring. Connor is 34 years old and is a Eraa- uate of both the University of Mis- sissippi and Yale.
 Theodore G. Blbo, former govern or: State Senator Lester C. Franklin, and Judge Percy Bell are considered the 'Vardaman" faction candidates. Btlbo, to some members of the fac ton, is considered impossible. but he has a strong following among the leaders. Franklin has been openly indorsed by Gov. Lee NJ.

It is common practice among moonshiners to place their liquor In old-fashioned fruit jars with zinc tops. The acids corrode the zinc, which goes into the liquor in the form of zinc salts. Cases of acute gastritis and other fatal ailments un- doubtedly are caused by drinking that sort of moonshine.
 The moonshiner's greed for profits adds still other poisons The noun tain moonshiner of the ol days, the heads" or first shots" of the dis tillation and the "tails"-the scum and the dregs-should be thrown away. He knew, also. that the mid ale run must be redistilled to make it passable. He did not know that the heads" were high in aldehydes and the tails" high in fusel oil. nor did he know that redistilling helped eliminate them, but he did know that unless these things were done even the strong men of the mountains could not safely drink his product.
 The modern moonshner neither knows nor cares His interest is to get every penny his run" will bring, and with as little work as possible. Neither heads" nor tails" are thrown away.
 One of the worst features of moon shine liquor, however. is not that 1t is filthy, not that 1t contains metallic poisons, but that it is raw spirits new liquor not properly aged in woodland that it contains all the poisons incidental to such liquor. Un-

 nounced, Currie Says

Final details of the home coming celebration and barbecue in honor of United States Senator oscar w.. Underwood Saturday afternoon at East Lake park were completed at a meeting of the executive commit tee in the office of the Chamber ot Commerce at g o'clock "Wednesday morning.
 Many additional acceptances of in- vitations have been received from out t-of-town guests who will come to Birmingham, and join in Jefferson county's biggest event of the year for Alabamas most distinguished son. A telegram received Wednes- day morning from General Pershing announced he would be unable to axtend his visit to include the big barbecue. The General is compelled to leave Birmingham Thursday night following his two speaking engage ments.
 All Birmingham and Jefferson county have united to celebrate the occasion purely as a recognition of Senator Underwood. not as a pos sible presidential candidate, and not in view of his accomplishments in the Senate of the United States, but to honor him simply as a former resident of Birmingham and as he has often been termed, Alabama's S most distinguished son.
 Not in any sense of the word, it is stated, will the affair be political, but just an old-fashioned barbecue and home coming celebration. where music, speeches, eats and fun will be the order of the day.
 Included among prominent visitors will be Gov. w. w. Brandon, Con- gressman Ed Almon, Lamar Jeffers. w. B. Oliver and others. among whom the out-of-town speakers will be chosen. Birmingham speakers are as originally announced, and in clude b. E. McLendon, for the city officially; Gov. w. w. Brandon for the state; Mrs. Ricahrd F, Johnston, for the women of Birmingham, Sena- tor Underwood. Mrs. c. J. Sharp and Judge w. c. Grubb.
 No long drawn out. program of speeches is even contemplated, the committee announces. Each speaker will be limited as to bring the entire speaking to within one hour and a half, after which the barbecue proper will begin.
 The downtown parade is sched- uled to start at 1:30 o'clock from the Chamber of Commerce building, and the big show at East Lake park promptly at 2:3O. All Jefferson county is invited.

RADICALS CLANOR r | R DIVISION OF SPO|LS IN SENATE
BroOkhart Threatens To De- Sert Republicans And Join
 Democrats
WASHINGTON RUREAE l
 THE AGE-HERAID ! Mashington. D. C.. LulY 21

Formal notice on John T. Adams, chairman of the republican national committee. was served today by Senator Brookhart of Iowa, that the radicals would not tolerate con- tempt proceedings on the part of the reactionaries.
 Particularizing Brookhart declared that if the republicans organized the Senate there would be a guarantee of an equal division of the spells It was pointed out that Senator LaFol- lette was second ranking republican member of the committees on finance and interstate commerce, two of the most important, and that he must be given one of the chairman ships.
 Others In Line.
 Those in line for these luscious plums are Senator Shoot of Utah and Senator Cummius of Iowa. both regarded as administrative and re- actionary.
 It was plainly intimated by Brook hart that the radicals. if thwarted. would form coalition with demo- crats whereby democrats would or ganlze the Senate. It is understood here tonight that democrats would decline to enter into an agreement with LaFollette and Brookhart. IL is said that democrats feel that they will capture Congress next year, and that 1t would rebound to their ad vantage were republicans in full power to do as they saw fit.
 This attitude on the part of demo- crats inclines Adams to repudiate the alleged effort of Brook hart to make terms, for a division of spells, with reactionaries It is frankly predicted that line republicans will reorganize and that radicals, resent ing the rebuff, win proceed to un- dermine the organization, which would not be unpleasant to demo- crats, 1t Is pointed out.
 The situation is said to be entirely satisfactory to the democratic or ganization.

Europe Able To Solve Its Own
 Problems And Merely Dup
 ing United States, Johnson
 Declares In His First Speech LET CONSERVATIVES BE WARNED, SAYS SENATOR Recent Events Point To Either Radical Victory Or Change In Present Method Of Government, Is His Claim
By ROBERT J. BENDER Geased Wire to Age-Herald.)

NEW YORK. July 25.-A slashing attack upon the world court, rip ping and tearing of the League of Nations, a shout of warning against reactionary policies at home and the ''propaganda new poisoning the na- tional mind" from abroad-this was Senator Hiram Johnson in action Wednesday evening in his first pub lie address on domestic and foreign relations since his return from an extended tour of Europe.
 Speaking at q dinner given in his honor and attended by over 1000 people, many pro mnent in public and private life. Johnson made it clear that he has dedicated himself to the fight against American participation in the councils of Europe.
 The old world, he says, is able to solve it's own problems; is merely duping America into thinking that it can't, wants the United States in Europe only for it's money and po- tential soldiery. and, once getting this, would leave us the prey of one faction or another"
 Three Major Contentious.
 The senator's address might be described as standing on three major csntentions;
 1. Thaframerica has enough to do to solve Yer already numerous un- solved domestic problems.
 ?. That Europe, having throughout history been equal U the task of talk . ing care of herself, does not wish or require American brains now and really wants only our monetary and physical muscles.
 ], That the United States can com mand q greater respect and greater moral weight, if she maintains her own independent foreign policy.
 As for the first, he said:
 ''Of course, there is discomfort here in America. It arises not from dis satisfaction with popular govern ment, but with lack of it. When we are so weak that we cannot frame laws which will stand the test of courts, to prohibit child labor and give women a minimum living wage: The common man looks to us; aye, he even dares to look at the courts, with some doubt and mistrust. When he finds his crops poor, his prices poorer and his problems summed by those in power for the glamour of participation in Euro tent and distrust.
 Effort Needed At Home.

 For Merchants And Frank Nelson Of Miners Present
THE AGE-HERALD ! STATE CAPITAL BUREAU ! Montgomery. Ala. July 25

The house judiciary committee tonight adversed the bill requiring companies issuing commiss9ry checks or other such tokens of in debtdness to redeem them in cash at their face value allowing holders of such checks to trade them at other stores at their face value, and pro hibittng the acquiring of such checks by anyone at a discount. The bill, in troduced by Representative Mark Jeter, and sponsored by the Alabama Retail Merchants association, was opposed by coal operators and other interests, including wholesale grocers. delegation of some fifty citizens from Birmingham attending the hearing. The bill was a local measure to apply only to Jefferson county.
 Both coal operators and retail merchants seemed inspired with equal zeal to conserve the rights of the working man, judging from what came out before the commission Representatives of companies issuing checks held that If allowed to trade them anywhere at face value the laborers of Jefferson county would proba ply buy too much dry goods and notions and not enough to eat, while advocates of the bill held that the question of what a working man buys should be left to his discretion and that he should be allowed to spend his earnings where he sees fit, and without a discount
 It was charged at the hearing that big business concerns discount checks issued to laborers in the same office in which these are issured. and one coal operator present stated that he and other employers do this.
 George Yancy, Birmingham at torney, in favcr of the measure. opened the arguments before the committee explaining the contents of the bill. He read from a decision or the supreme court of the United States upholding law from which Representative Jeter's bill was copied, which is in force in Tennes- see. MT. Yancy stated that if claims
