 The committed has been called together to transact democratic parry business or er,af importance Whilst Chairman Lowe call did not specify the details such pro- ceedure being contrary to custom, It IS known that the committee will call state convention, fixing the date probably in March and Ghe place as Montgomery.
 The committee will then proceed to TX call for county primaries on fixed date for all the counties, probably some dlte after New Years day.
 Call for county conventions to select del egates to state and other conventions.
 Fixing the qualification of voters haVlng the right to participate in the primary elec- tions.
 The date of the state convention cannot possibly be foretold with any degree CT accuracy; but is likely to be early probably late in March or early in April
 An influential delegation is here from Montgomery to invite the convention, t,hrough the executive committee, to meet in that city, and the invitation will be, in all proba bility, accepted unanimously. l he impression has obtained at Montgomery tfhat the committee would be asked to fix Birmingham as the place of meeting of the state convention but nothing is publicly known here of any such purpose. There fore it is unlikely that any effort Will be made in committee to secure the conven- ton for any other city than Montgomery But it is perfectly proper to point out that Montgomery has sent some of her best and strongest citizens to formally invite the state committee to call the convention to assemble in the capital of the state. Montgomery will have splendid auditori- um completed in the heart of the city for the conventions accommodation. Amongst the notable Alabamians in the lobbies last night were Representa- tive Thomas Heflin, of Chambers; former Senator W. l. Bullock, of Franklin former | State Treasurer J.

 velopment to indicate any action on the ] nsrt of the state committee further than { that hereinbefore outlined. Chairman Lowe l was seen. and he said that he knew or ao- solutely nothing new. Ii is entirely improbable that state prl- ! mary will be ordered. Indeed, no such ! nronosiion is likely to be made from any source The committee will order a pri-
 mary for each county. As to what Will De done with the five or six counties that have already called primaries on their own ac-
 count, no opinion was ascertainaDie; ,.e. | If is probable that the 'bars will De lett | down. where they were pidceo Ill '"e 1 past. .
