RADIO FANS HEAR
 PRESIDENT SPEAK

Hundreds of people resident in Put nam and vicinity listened in yester- day noon on the message of President Coolidge, delivered in person before the Congress at Washington and broadcast by wireless. The president B address came in clearly and distinctly and most every radio fan said that it was the most perfect daytime reeep- tiou of radio they had ever been able to achieve. This was due chiefly to She special broadcasting apparatus set up at the National Capitol.
 There were radio parties" in the sales room of the Putnam Buick Com pany. where the manager. Fred Bruce, tuned in and furnished the president g
 speech with uninterrupted elearness and excellence. Ralph E. Thurston also entertained a crowd with his set. giving the speech on the loud speaker for the benefit of group of people gathered in Union street.
 Roland H Ballou. vice president of the Manhasset Mfg. Co.,, who was at the local plant yesterday, furnished the most unique reception of the speech that has become known in the city. From the depths of q bag he drew out a miniature wireless receiv- ing set. attached phones and dry cell battery Cit was q peanut tube set of diminutive make-upl and throwing a place of insulated wire out 0f the win dow. te serve as the antenna, he pro eeeded e tune iH the presidents ad- dress He was successful and several of the office workers and executives lis- tened in with Mir.

 result was seen in a weakened Repub- mean party throughout the state and

The election of a Demo cratic congressman Mf 0'Sulivau. g young man of delightful personality and intellectual integrity the Fifth district was a rebuke to factiouism m the Republican party. It is hoped that Republicans will remember the rebuke this year, and that they will not incur it's repetition.
 A Change Desired
 There Is more attention given by the political leaders of the two princi- uai parties in the state to the contest fer eBngress in tine Second district than 10 that in any other of the five districts in the state This particular interest Is due to the fact that change iu the representation uf the district is generally desired. Many Republicans believe that fl the change does not come from the initiative of the Republican congressional c0nxens ton t vii be brought about by the election of the Democratic candidate While it IS true that the district is a Republican stronghold. tho fact should net be forgotten that 1t is but q few years since the Democratic candidate, Raymond dodoin of the town 0f Sprague, came within an ace of being elected. In fact 70 close was the re- suit that Mir judoin felt justified in appealing to congress for q recount. The late Bryan F. Mahan, of New London. captured the district by q sub stantiai majority in 1912. It is true that Mr. Mahan's election was made possible by the progressive split in the Republican party, but even with that fact taken into account. his election had a significance which prudent Re publican leaders appreciated at it's true value, Mir. Mahan's election and Mr. Jodoins near-eleetion showed clearly that the personal equation question has an influence, and a de- termining one. Loo. in the Second dis triet. as it has in every other electoral jurisdiction in the state, and that t is not the part of political wisdom to ignore il. The fact should be empha sized that t is national necessity to have Connecticut represented by five in fhe lower house of compress. The auestions which will come before the next congress vitaily affect the industrial interests of this state, and 1t is necessary that they should be settled according to Repub- Iiean principles.

SINGER is SON OF
FORMER BIRMINGHAM GIRL

1t hasn't been so many years ago
that the cutest red-headed girl you
most ever saw went to school here
at Miss Hattie Morton's seminary.
She was Miss Aurelia Sewall-
known to everybody with real af-
lection, and as just "Aurelia a.
and she had smile that would
greatly agitate the heart.
Now then! Who will be inter-
ested to hear that the youthful John
Rogers, who was heard over the
radio this past week, and who is not
yet II years old, was Aurelia's
young son?
The childs clear, sweet tones
easily carried to New Orleans
and New York, and Aurelia, who,
as Mrs. j. c. Rogers, makes her
home in Gadsden, hopes to con-
struct a great singer of him some
day!
She has four children, two lovely
girls and two manly young sons,
She played the pretty piano accom-
paniment for the young artis..,
coming to Birmingham and remain
ing for three days as the guest of
relatives and friends.
Her father, Nicholas H. Sewall,
who for many years made his home
in Birmingham and the district, was
in the city from Gadsden this week
attending the realtors banquet.
His wife, a charming New Orleans
woman, plans to pass through Bir-
mingham very shortly on her way
to Mardi Gras in the Crescent City.
