ITS A HOT FIGHT IN REPUBLICAN CAMP WimbS Wants to Be Chairman Oyer
 Vaughan. TURNED DOWN BY HUGHES
B rminsham Postmaster Wants Vaughan
 Elected By Reclamation.
A BIG INCREASE IN PENSIONS
Ellis is a Probable Candidate for Audi tor, for Winch Office There Are Several Other A pirants-
 Guns for State Militia.

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gomery, July S1.-(special)-There is still down-pour of disorder and discontent in the republican camp of Alabama. Boss Young blood has been exceedingly quiet since his home coming, but he is not perceptibly cooling off the opposition to his rule.
 There are conferences of his appointees every day, and a look of unrest pervades the government building. Chairman Vaughan also has more of a fight on his hands than his friends want It seems that they have not taken the candidacy of Ad. Wimbs, colored, of Hale, with seriousness. But Wimbs seems to be in the race to stay. Recently Wimbs wrote to Postmaster Hughes, of Birmingham, asking the post masters support for the chairmanship Wimbs received a flat refusal, the doctor saying: "I am for the Hon. Wm. Vaughan, who, I trust, will be elected by acclama- tion, as his administration has been clean in every respect" In reply to Dr. Hughes, Wimbs sent the following letter:
 Tn the very outset allow me to respect fully inform you MT. Vim. Vaughan will not be elected by exclamation. Your hope, l am quite sure is without mature reflection To say MT. Vaughan Is to be reelected without opposition and by exclamation by the republicans of Alabama is as much as to say the republicans of Alabama have been subdued and now ready for the chains to be forged tighter. It is as much as to say the republicans of Alabama have lost every spark of manhood.
 .As to the words in your letter, His ad- ministration has been clean in every re- spect." This matter of fact will be tried by the jury composed of the great mass of the republicans of Alabama, irrespective ot race or color and be finally settled by the final tribunal of the true republicans of Alabama in convention assembled, and to say that it will be settled without dissent ing opinion is too much to expect of the crucified Alabama republicans.
 You may rest assured my name will be presented to the state convention, and MT. Vaughan will not be reelected by acclama- ton, if reelected at all. Very respectfully,
 r., FAD. WIMBS.3

Fills Probable Candidate

It is very probable that State Treasurer George W. Ellis may be in the race for auditor. It was generally known that many of MT. Ellis strong friends have been to him and have asked him to run. To tine correspondent of the Age-Herald the treas- urer said, in answer to a query as to his intentions in the case: My mind is not yet fully made up. It is true, however, that some of my friends have volunteered their support in case I should enter the contest"
 Should Mir. Ellis decide to make the race he will make 1t exceedingly interesting for other candidates. He has made a most en- viable record as state treasurer, and nearly four years of service in the auditors office has acquainted him with the work of the office.
 Indications are that the race for auditor is to be one of the hottest to be fought next year.sn Abeenerally understood that State Senator Mathews, of Marion county, Representative Mitchell. of Lauderdale, and Sam J. Carpenter. of Greene, are now in the race, and that there is probability of present Chief Clerk J. T. Cook and for mer Auditor Purifoy may later become candidates.

Zig Increase in Pensions

The state board of pension examiners is having difficult job in examining the ap- plications for pensions under the new pen sion law Auditor White said this morn- ing that the many irregularities in the papers sent up by the county boards was causing much trouble, 'ootn to himself and the examiners. There is very heavy in crease in the list of applicants, more than 20,0 GOO names having been sent in by the county boards The board is rejecting 15 to 20 per cent of the applications. Last year there were a few more than 10000 ap- plicants, and the pension warrants were $l1.90. This year the warrants will proba- bly, amount to less than $9.00. The fund for distribution will be about the same, but the large increase in applications makes the decrease in the amount of the warrants necessary. For the next year the special increase soldiers tax'' of one half mill, levied by act of the last legisla- ture, becomes available, and again there will be very liberal increase in the war rants.
 The state board of examiners has been busily at work since July 10, and it will require until August 15 for the work to be completed. The work will not be so labor tous in future years, as veteran once on the pension list becomes a life member un- less he removes from the state. New ap- plications may be made each year. The board is composed of J. D. Thompson, of Calbert; D. J. Oden, of Cullman; and Dr. Horn, of Crenshaw. The Winston county board made the fullest and most complete report.
