Senator Nunnelec's Ticket

State Senator J. H. Nunnelee, of Dallas, is in the city today. He says there is lft- tie interest in the political situation of Dallas 'As for my personal views" said the senator, 'I am for Cunningham for governor, and Tomlinson for vice-presi- dent. But if there is foundation for the rumor that John Knox is a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, I am be- tween the devil and the deep blue sea. pr. Cunningham and John Knox. I love both of 'em"
 Representative John H. Wallace, of Mad ison, is also in the city He reports county politics very lively in Madison. "Our peo- pie want an early primary" said MT. Wal lace. Probably as early as December. There are more than a dozen candidates for sheriff and about fifty for treasurer, with a goodly proportion for assessor and col lector and they are urging an early primary that the defeated candidates may have suf- ficient time to make a crop next year. As for state politics, Congressman Stallings, Speaker Waller and Dr. Cunningham all have very strong following in Madison. It would be difficult to name the strong man."
 MT. Wallace will be a candidate for re- election to the lower house of the legisla- ture, and it is probable that he will be re- turned without opposition. His former col league, MT. Lyle, is a candidate for tax assessor, with fiattering prospects.

IT WILL BE BRYAN
 AND M'KINLEY Oates Views of the National
 Campaign. IS CANDIDATE FOR SENATE Nunnelee, State Senatol .lum Dallas Favors Dr. Cunningham for Gov ernor and John W. TomlinsoA
 for Vice-President
IS CANDIDATE FOR SENATE

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Montgomery, August .)-General w. c. Oates has returned to Montgomery from a visit to Washington. He reports very little of interest at the national capi- tai. He talked very freely on national poli- tics, saying that it appeared a certainty that MT. Mckinley would be renominated for the presidency by the republicans and that MT. Bryan would surely be the demo- cratic nominee.
 The fact that General Oates is a candi- date for the United States senate will render his opinion of especial interest. To a reporter he said:
 Mckinley will unqestionably be noni- mated for reelection by the republican party by exclamation. It would be beastly ungrateful party not to do that. Mckinley has earned it and they all con- cede it. If the record can be broken of not giving president two terms in succession Mckinley can break 1t. You know that no president since Grant has been elected his own successor. The f1oaters and malcon- tents have been too great. But tell you that Mckinley is a very popular president
 II can speak only of probabilities as they now appear. In my opinion Bryan will be nominated by the democrats. l am quite certain that Alabama and all the southern states will go for him next year unless there is a great change in sentiment be- fore that time, which is improbable"
 General Oates was asked for his opinion on the interview of Senator Morgan. He said:
 rx,nC 1attd tdaI ln fr, hn desire harmony and union of all the demo- crats, but he is old enough and should have been wise enough to know that however de- srabie it cannot be accomplished at this time. The democrats are pretty nearly in accord in opposition to high tariff duties and trusts, but are hopelessly divided on the free coinage of silver and expansion or acquisition of new territory. The funda- mental principles of the democratic party are the best for our systems of government state and federal, but the party as an or ganizaton has during it's history made some bad breaks and has not always acted wisely. When in power we quarrel among ourselves as bitterly as we do with the re- publicans when they are in the saddle. There has been within our own state such bitter contention and trading in futures that party ties have within the last few years been very much weakened among democrats. The democrats in Alabama are retained in power now alone by the pres- ence of the negro voter. Several reforms are needed and we cannot hope for much better state of affairs than we now have until several of these reforms are accom- plished. The evidences of such necessity
 nadu iS the intelligent people of Alabama.

Dull at the Capital

Governor Johnston went to Birmingham this morning in company with Adjutant- General Brandon. As is nearly always the case in the absence of the governor there is no news about the capital. In the lan- guage of the good Jew there is nothing but interest going on." The fact that the governor has been spending more than his accustomed time in Birmingham is taken here as having political significance. Bir- mingham truly become the Mecca Of state politics so far as the democratic party IS concerned. Everybody in Montgomery seems awaiting for the great county or Jefferson to move. It is confidently be- lieved that Jefferson will have guberna- torial candidate whether it be Cunning ham, Tomlinson or Johnston-or all three. Their action is awaited with interest.
