Alabama Faces Political Problem!
as Result of the Death of

HOBSON ALREADY IN RACE
Amendment Providing for Direct
Election Causes Doubt as
How to Fill Vacancy.
BIRMINGHAM, An*. 9—Alabama
to-day face* a political problem which
Ip exciting: the keenest Interest ell
over the country. With the death of
Joseph Forney Johneton, ^senior
United States Senator from Alabama,
aropslp 1p rife concerning his succes
sor. Conjecture has been complicat
ed as a result of the recent amend
ment to the Federal Constitution pro
viding for the popular election of
United States Senators.
Despite differences of opinion ns to
the legality of the proposed ejection
to choose a successor to Senator
Johnston, Governor O’Neal has not
receded from the position assumed by
him In this statement Friday after
noon. He Is still of the belief that he
is possessed of authority to call such
nn election, though he has not defi
nitely announced that he will take
such action.
Conference With Leaders.
Since there Is such marked uncer
tainty among party leaders as to the
legality or expediency of a special
election, the Governor will defer Is
suance of the proclamation pending a
conference with members of the Ala
bama delegation in Congress and oth
er leaders of the party In the State.
This conference will he held In Blr-
rr.ingham following the funeral of Sen
ator Joseph Johnston, which will take
place here Sunday.
Governor O’Neal arrived In Bir
mingham to-night. In addition to
Senator Bankhead and members of
Congress from Alabama, Democratic
members of the Senatorial escort ac
companying the body of Senator John
ston from Washington will be consult
ed by the Governor in his effort to
arrive at a satisfactory solution of the
present complex problem.
In the event that the Legislature Is
called together in special session there
will be. further complications. There
are about fifteen vacancies in the two
branches of the General- Assembly
which would have to be filled before
the election of a new Senator could
be legal, according to opinions ex
pressed by State officials.
There Is much more at stake than
that, however
The death of Senator Johnston has
created an acute situation In the Na
tional Senate, where the tariff pro
moters have but a bare Democratic
working majority with which to pass
the Underwood-Slmmons tariff bill.
It has become Imperative that every
Democratic seat be filled.
O’Neal Asks Advice.
A vacancy exists. Political leaders
in the State realize the gravity of
the situation and it is for this rea
son alone that Governor O’Neal tele
graphed to Attorney General Me-
Reynolds to ascertain the proper pro
cedure In naming a successor. A
sealed reply has been received, but
its contents are being withheld by
Attorney General Brickell until the
dead Senator has been burled.

And then Mr. Hammond will pro

rules and a knightly heart, to subju

lost a very good friend
After the manner of nil rising
young men, Mr. Hammond decided
upon the purchase of an automobile
The first installment paid, the ma
chine duly wan delivered.
Smiles on Ownership.
Like a young father or a debutante.
Mr. Hammond smiled proudly in th«
Joy of ownership, and called upon his
nearest and dearest friends to Invite
them for a ride. He neglected to
mention that all he knew about auto
mobiles was that they had , fojr
wheels and were very pretty when
new.
Besides, he forgot that he didn’t
know. A very comprehensive book of
rules had come with the car, and, ns
all the world knows, Frank Hammond
Is nothing If not confident.
The automobile came, In charge of
a greasy garage man. It was firsd
up, gasoline stocked and ready for
action. The garage man said “good-
morning" very politely to the new
owner, without warning as to what
was coming, and then went back 'o
his greasy shop. Frank Hammond
and a trusting friend were alone with
the untamed automobile, hut unafraid.
Mr. Hammond had seen others do
it. and so he spun the crank in front.
The engine started. Then, with a
surreptitious glance at page 10, book
of rules, he manned the wheel, cov
er*/ as many pedals with his feet as
possible, and pulled the lever.
The car jumped ahead. The trust
ing friend lost his hat. Mr. Ham
mond almost lost his head, but was
sufficiently alert to push the lever far
hack In the other direction. As the
automobile had Jumped ahead, now it
leaped hack war*
Car Starts Turkey Trot.
With one finger between page 1ft
and pagt* 11, praying for an opportu
nity to read, Mr. Hammond Jabbed
his lever back and forth, experi
mentally. The car turkey-trotted In
the most approved fashion.
"’Smaiter?" gasped the friend, his
confidence waning
“Carbureter," gasped Mr. Hammond
In reply.
As a matter of fact, his knowledge
of the carbureter hardly extended fur
enough to give him confidence In his
spelling of It.
The car stopped of itself. Maybe
It was surprised at the startling ac
cusation its owner had Just made.
The trusting friend had a brilliant
Idea. He decided to get out. But
Mr. Hammond, still confident, more
confident than ever, perhaps, now that
he. could look at pagp 11, held him in
The machine was started in a ration
al manner.
“Fine,” remarked Mr. Hammond.
In his path loomed a young woman
The automobile was close upon her,
and Mr. Hammond saw with alarm
that he must slow up. The machine
refused to slow up. It was as obsti
nate when Mr. Hnmrhond begged It .o
stop altogether.
He closed his eyes and prayed that
the young woman would not leave
a house full of motherless children.
Maybe she wasn’t married at all, be
thought, with a throb of relief.
Youn" Woman Escape-
But she saw the automobile in time,
and Jumped. Just in Jime she saw it
and Jumped.
And on the questing automobillst*
sped, out Peachtree road. Angels
would not have dared their feat. No
where did they stop or slacken speed,
because they couldn’t.
They found themselves In the cen
ter of the street car track after a
while, with a Ruckhoad car hearing
down upon them from the rear, and
rapidly coming nearer. The automo
bile had another stubborn fit, and re
fused to turn from the strait and nar-
row path It had found for Itself. On
came the car.
Mr Hammond nerved himself for a
desperate effort. He rose In his seat
and threw all his strength into the
strangle hold he had on the steering
wheel. The automobile turned sharp
ly and sped to the side of the road.
An embankment was there, but this
automobile, being a brave little thing,
feared embankments no more than it
did the threats of the man who owned
it and head on into the bank of clay It
went, there to stop.
The Buckhead car had stopped, too,
and the trusting friend, escaping Mr.
Hammond’s clutches, boarded It. Mr.
Hammond remained to mourn.
But that was some time ago. Now
Mr. Hammond knows that it wasn't
really the carbureter that was the
trouble on the first day.

WASHINGTON. Aug 9.—Demo
cratic leaders despair of making
headway on the pending tariff bill. It
was not until after 5 o'clock this
evening that consideration of the
steel schedule was reached for the
first time since the adjournment
Thursday evening.
Senator Kenyon addressed the Sen
ate to-day on Ills amendment to put
the metals controlled by trusts and
monopolies on the free list. He paid
particular attention to the aluminum
trust, and read extracts from its don-
traota and briefs In suits that have been
brought against it. He showed that
the agreement between the American
and Kuropean branches of this Inter
national trust prohibited the sale of
aluminum products by European
manufacturers even to the Govern
ment of the United States.
Mr. Kenyon showed in detail the
character of such supplies used by
the army and navy and pointed out
that In time of war this Government,
through the operation of the contract
between the trusts, would be at the
mercy of the American corporation.
He also disclosed that this whole
question had been exploited before
the House committee, and In the face
of such a showing the committee*
In the House and Senate had given
the products of the aluminum trust a
duty that amounted to considerable
protection.
Senator Fletcher, who was to have
been chairman of the commission that
went to Europe to Investigate the
subject of rural credits, but who was
kept here on account of the tariff,
spoke at length on that subject. When
he had concluded the tariff bill was
taken up and one or two minor para
graphs of the steel schedule dis
posed of.
^est End Merchant Now Blesses
Pneumonia Germs Which
Brought Him a Bride.
Benjamin C. Harris, a young West
End merchant, fervently called for
blessings Saturday upon the kind
germs that sent him to his bed with a
severe “pell of pneumonia two months
ago The occasion for the prayer was
his marriage to Miss Pearl Goude-
loch, a capable young woman who
nursed him through hts period of ill
ness back, to health and to a happi
ness that he hadn’t known before.
They were married by Dr. B. R
Belk, pastor of the Park Avenue
Methodist Church, and left Satur
day for Gainesville, the home of the
bride, whence they will go to Los An-
Goudeloch Is a trained nurse
of the Wesley Memorial Hospital and
the daughter of a prominent family
of Gainesville. She first met Mr. Har
ris as he lay near to death in the
home of hia friends, Mr. and Mrs. Mil-
ton D. Mitchell, in West End.
The attending physician, not liking
the turn the pneumonia was taking,
called for an efficient nurse. Miss
Goudeloch was retained.
Mr. Harris looked up at his nurse
with something in his eyes that was
more than the awe a trained nurse
inspires. Miss Goudeloch returned
hts glance:
“We'll pull him through, doctor,
she said, confidently.
West End Is beautiful In the
springtime. There are little parks
and shaded streets through which a
convalescent young man -an walk by
the side of the trained nurse whom he
doesn't really need in a professional
capacity any longer, and can talk to
her of many things. And what Mr.
Harris said didn’t make her a bit
angry. 9
The courtship was brief. With the
aid of the Mitchells, In whose home
they met, the marriage was arranged
and together the little party went to
the Methodist parsonage for a quiet
ceremony.

erit tariff law, 1h being mout promi
nently mentioned as a successor to
Senator Johnston. John B. Knox, a
warm friend and supporter of Gover
nor O’Neal, and for a long time prom
inent In Alabama politics, is another
whom the political forecasters are
watching closely.
Other Possibilities.
There are still others also. Frank
P. Glass, editor of The Birmingham
News, and one of the “Original Wil
son men." is thought to have a splen
did chance at the nenatorshtp in case
Governor O’Neal is permitted to ap
point. as he Is one of O’Neal's warm
est friends J. Thomas Heflin, pres
ent Congressman, Is another, as are
also William I>. Jelks, former Gov
ernor, and Captain Frank y. White,
one of Birmingham’s most prominent
lawyers.
Of courFv. there is another pos
sibility—Richmond Pearson Hobson,
hero of the Merrimac—who had been
conducting a most vigorous campaign
to succeed Senator Johnston. Of
course Hobson will continue his race
—he will not receive the appointment
from Governor O'Neal, for they are
bitter political enemies.

“AND THEY ALL WITH
ONE CONSENT
BEGAN TO MAKE EXCUSE.”
Luke 14:18.
They were at dinner.
Jesus said:
“When thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the
blind,
; “And thou shalt be blessed.”
One at the table pretended to be in sympathy. He began smugly:
“Happy is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.”
The hypocrisy of the man and all others like him was unmasked in
the answer made by Jesus. He said: ' / ' • » £.*
“A certain man made a great supper and bade many—
“And they all with one consent began to make excuse.”
One said one thing, another another. ? V
With one it was a field; with another it was new oxen. [
In the end, the Lord said: >
“None of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.” c
And from the highways and the hedges called He His guests.
Are you a maker of hypocritcal phrases as was the man at the Phari
see’s dinner table—pretending a love for that which is just and right? f
Or, to-day, are you trying to do the will, not of man or men, but
of Him who died for you?
Let us have done with excuses!
While spending thousands on fields, hogs and cattle, say not: f *
“We are unable— ‘ *
“We can not give proper care to these girls—
“These children must go down in shame because of our lack of
money— ■' v . *
t “But our beasts we must protect whatever the cost.”
If animals are more valuable than girls, let us say frankly: but you
know that this is untrue.
You know what Georgia would do.
Consider, then!
The Bill in the House providing a Reformatory for Girls is No. 4—
ahead of any other measure appropriating money.
The Penitentiary Committee has approved it.
Unanimously the Appropriations Committee has recommended that it
pass.
Why, then, should beasts and fields be provided for by later bills and
nothing done for Georgia’s wayward and delinquent girls?
BURWELL of Hancock, the Speaker of the House, the Chairman
and the vice-chairman, BLACKBURN of Fulton, HARDEMAN of Jef
ferson, MILLER of Bibb, NUNNALLY of Floyd, PAULK of Berrien,
RAGLAND of Talbot, REDWINE of Fayette, RHODES of Clarke,
SHUPTRINE of Chatham and SLADE of Muscogee constitute the Rules
Committee of the House.
The Bill is Li their hands.
Monday is the final day in which the measure can be heard and en
acted into law at this session of the Legislature.
These eleven men, THE RULES COMMITTEE, will not prevent a
hearing, say their friends. We believe that they will do more, that they
will help to pass the Bill.
For they know the worth of a girl-child of ten to fourteen.
And they can appraise a cow or hog.
