A heavy thunder and rain storm came

DIR. FLOYD no HEAD
MUNICIPAL TICKET
Phenix City-Girard Still Con-
fused Over Government

PHENIX> CITY, Ala, April o.
A municipal ticket, headed by DIR.
,Ashby Floyd, will be offered at the
September election in Phenix City, it
was reported today. 1t is understood
that the friends of DIR. Floyd are urg-
ing him to offer for mayor, while T. K.
Booth is suggested as a candidate for
president of the council. The regis
tration list is said to be the largest
in the history of Phenix and the Girard
section.
Since the towns of Phenix City and
Girard were consolidated by act of the
legislature I'M 1923, and an act passed
creating commission form of govern
ment for the consolidated city, which
was later declared void by the Alabama
supreme court, the former mayor and
council of Phenix City have been re-
turned to office and have been acting
for the territory included in the COM
bined city. Their term of office will
expire in September.
School Board TangIe-FollOwing a
statement by Attorney W. j. Bird that
the Phenix City school systems had
been operating illegally, inasmuch as
they have two separate boards of educa-
ton. containing five members each, it
is thought that action to rectify this will
be taken in the near future, Under the
Alabama laws the city school board can
have but five members. When the two
cities of Phenix City and Girard were
consolidated no change was made in
the school systems. e&ch having a board
of its own, thus making ten members
in the consolidated Phenix City.

Ter a period of depression and there was
mo visible reason for appointing an

was removed from the political ring,
leaving the politicians to lock horns
over the vice presidency. And right in
the center of the ring was Roosevelt s
hat, thrown there by the willy Tom

As. governor of New York, Teddy
had become a nuisance to the republi-
can bosses moreover there was every
prospect of his being elected for, a Sec

Even at that early period of his
career, the politicians were afraid of
Roosevelt. Senator Mark Hanna, the
power behind the Mckinley throne,
knew of Platt's plan and opposed it +;
the President, although preserving a
discreet silence, was believed to favor
Secretary of the Navy John d. Long,

governor, and Roosevelt, himself, was
dead against going to Washington. A
