Thomas Heflin of Alabama is facing defeat for the first time and is fight- ing with his back to the wall to keep! from being retired from public life. | This is a fair and impartial state- ment, made after a first-hand survey of conditions in the state, and is based largely on these points: | 1—Heflin hag been read out of the Democratic party in Alabama by the from the Democratic primary because he bolted the party to oppose Al; and in Alabama the Democratic! nomination has always been equiva- lent to election. 2—The Ku Klux Klan which four years ago dominated Alabama politics with a power sufficiently strong to elect a governor and a U. S. senator! Its organization has fallen apart, its influence is neg- le. —If Heflin runs as an independent at the general election in November, as he now plans, he will face a seri- voters desiring to split the ticket for voting a straight ticket as it usually does in Alabama. This means one mistake or duplica- or more names on the ballots. Two Democratic Opponents Qualified as regular Democratic! candidates seeking the nomination in the primary on Aug. 12 are John H.! Bankhead of Birmingham, and Fred- head is a wealthy corporation attor- ney and a retired coal mine operator. | Thompson is publisher of five Ala-; bama newspapers and a former mem- ber of the United States Shipping Board. The Republicans may or may not put out a candidate. If they do, his vote will be futile because Alabama is overwhelmingly Democratic and has always been so. The fact that Al Smith, admittedly crippled by Hef- jlin’s opposition, carried Alabama over | Hoover only by a margin of 127,000 to | 120,000 votes, is not an indication of ; | Republican strength. Instead, it was! jan indication of Democratic dislike {for Smith, fanned by Heflin. | Heflin Not Deserted The 50.000 regular Democrats who} temporarily abandoned their party to vote for Hoover did so because of | their objection to Smith as a wet and a Catholic. Since Smith is not now a} candidate, it is unlikely they willi leave the fold again in very appreci-j able numbers, even to vote for Tom. Heflin, though facing a stiff battle for his political life, is by no means deserted. In the rural districts of the | state—especially in the more reninte | { {great mass of voters, many of whom} }have never seen a Catholic and {who still believe if Al Smith had 'been elected, the pope would have left for Washington on the next boat.

Ac- cording to conservative estimates, he would have been able to purchase a small car in about 25 3. But Victor was haled into court} for speeding. He knew how he was going to plead and assumed cor- rectly that the fine would be $20. So he took 2050 pennies with him in a bag, 50 extra just in case of a mis- taken count. 1 Judge Sherman D.

MILITARY RAILWAYS | Awaits Death |LABOR GOVERNMENT REFUSES 70 RESIGN MacDonald Will Continue to Act * Until He Meets Defeat on a Big Question London, Mar. 12—()—Although de- feated by eight votes in the house of commons on an amendment to its coal mines bill the labor government of J. Ramsay MacDonald will not resign, but will continue in office un- til its administratios is assailed suc- cessfully on a matter of importance, The amendment to the coal mines bill which conservatives and liberals passed over Mr. MacDonald's head last night does not materially change the measure. Immediately after the divi- sion count of 282 votes for the amend- ment and 274 against the prime min- ister was asked by Stanley Baldwin, Conservative head, if he intended to go on with the bill. The question, in effect, was a for- mal voicing of shouts from Tory benches a few minutes previously of “Resign! resign, precipitating a new general election, or not. Mr. MacDonald answered quickly: “I am amaged at the question. Mr. Baldwin will have an opportunity two days from now to move his party’s vote of censure. I shall be glad to ccommodate him if he will make his vote of censure general, and we will accept the decision.” Mr. MacDonald evinced no discomfiture at his defeat, which, indeed, was somewhat nega- tived by subsequent government ma- Commerce have made a canvass of | jorities on other minor points, one of the business portion of the city and| Which was 98 votes. have raised a fund with which to de- fray the publicity expenses of the courthouse campaign.

Editor, Tribune: I find much interest and food for thought in your People’s Forum and wish to beg for a portion of the al- loted space to present a few a= tions in reference to a question that is engaging the attention of the world at the present. It is in connec- tion with the proposed change in the calendar. The question is before the League of Nations which has appoint- ed a special committee to work on it. The Pan-American Union has a! proved of the plan. Mr. Cotsworth of England is working for it and in America our nationally well known kodak manufacturer, Mr. Eastman, has spent a half million dollars and has set aside another half million to energetically push the adoption of the plan. Fifteen representative religious tions have approved the plan. It is now awaiting the indorsement of the Pope, who is awaiting the session of the next ecumenical council be- fore he will render his decision. And | We are told that upon his approval, if there is no greater opposition than has been in evidence thus far, THE PLAN WILL GO THROUGH. Then what? 4 We will, then’ beginning with 1933, ;have a world-wide universal calen- dar of thizicen months to the year, { To Choose Grand Forks Grand Forks, N.

This plan is favored by the business interests, some of them, Sears Roebuck recently, having system. There are some commercial advantages, but also many commer- cial disadvantages to this plan. which I will not treat in detail. Sufficient may be the fact that out of 2,868 chambers of commerce that voted in @ recent referendum on borg cere 1,318 voted negative. e groups lacked only 116 of balancing the vote and it is of interest to know that the negative votes in nearly every instance came from groups wn were furnished with detail: informa- | tion as to the many disadvantages in the plan as now proposed. The pub- lic should study this question. I wish to call attention ta what is the ‘most serious objection to ied gr It disrupts the septenary seque the week. ¢ days as they have come to us from the prime date of creation. A year of thirteen months, with only twenty-eight days to the month, gives us 364 days, which lacks onc day of completing the year. To provide for this, at the end of the year a day is to be known as “no-day” and not be counted on the calendar. Literal- ly, to keep in step with the new calen- dar, one must have one week each year of eight days, and on leap years there would be two such weeks; one in the middle, the other at the end of the year. Very easy, isn't it? To) the casual observers this seems all very simple, but there are many thou- sands of people throughout the world | to whom this arrangement will bring | great hardship. There are the Sev-| enth-Day Baptists, the Orthodox | Jews, and the Seventh-Day Adven- tists. These are the only bodies that | have voiced their protest with the’ Foreign Affairs Committee at Wash- | ington where hearings were held. In 1934 their Sabbath will fall on Fri-/ day, in 1935 on Thursday, etc. This; will throw them out of joint wit! their respective trades and the pub- lic school system, not only as to the children attending school but as to: those now holding positions as | ers.

The answer is that these people be- lieve that the blessing pronounced upon the seventh day as recorded in Gen. 2:3 still holds. They are ob- serving this day at present under great handicaps, and the proposed change in the calendar will only multiply these handicaps. We appeal to the liberty loving American to aid us in the opposition to this new calen- dar when the opportunity presents itself., Why should the commercial interests be permitted to saddle an The accounting systems can adopt this plan, as many have done, without the necessity of making such @ radical change in the calendar.
