Special to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery. Jan. H.-J H. Bankhead is in the city today, and was a visitor at the executive office He and Governor John ston had long and pleasant interview and both seemed in the most pleasant spir- it's over the future of the party in this state. They agreed that there would be no serious opposition to the state ticket in August, and Mr. Bankhead was conf dent that the next state convention would endorse the Chicago platform.
 "I do not believe" said MT. Bankhead that there will be any effort made in the next state convention to prevent an en- dorsement of the Chicago platform.
 "The party cannot afford to do other wise than stand by the platform, and that platform must stand until the party speaks through another national conven- tion."
 Representative Bankhead thought that even those democrats opposed to the plat form would see the wisdom of the party reaffirming it and would offer no opposi- tion to such action on the part of the state convention when 1t meets this year. He will probably return to Alabama when the state executive committee meets Feb ruary 15, and, of course, he will be here when the state convention convenes.
 From Pensacola
 MT. Bankhead came here from Pensacola where he accompanied the congressional committee, of which he is member, which came south to inspect the gulf and Atlantic ports, for which appropriations had been made for Improvements and deepening of channels, etc. The other members, Messrs. Hooker of New York, chairman; Burton of Ohio, Reeves of Ill., inois, Governor of West Virginia, Morris of Minnesota, Bishop of Michigan, Berry of Kentucky, Ball of Texas, Mccullough of Kentucky and Lester of Georgia, went on to Savannah, from which point they will leave direct for Washington Sunday morning. MT. Bankhead said the commit tee regretted not being able to visit Mont gomery, but would make another visit soon to inspect the rivers in Alabama and other southern states and would not then give this city the go-by. MT. Bankhead left for Washington this evening.
