Sanford the Strongest Man on
 the First Call.
MUCH TALK OF COMBINATIONS
Many of the Leaders Have Arrived on the Ground and Are Laying Plans for Great Political
 Fight

Political clans are journeying toward of the greatest fights in the history of Alabama democracy is fairly on. few shots have already been fired by the skir- mishers, who have arrived on the battle will rally to their support.
 Many of the counties throughout the state have failed to send in returns. and are probably waiting to spring a surprise on the convention.
 The hope that Sanford would carry the convention by storm and win on the first ballot has been dispelled. At present he has more votes than any two candidates, and though the figures at first reported have not been fully justified, his chances for success are bright. Shelley and Waller will, however, play conspicuous part in the proceedings, and Stallings can make himself famous by throwing his limited strength to either of the candidates. Lead ing politicians say that with the present mixed conditions of affairs it is difficult to
 
 make predictions.
 Reports of combinations against Sanford have been widely circulated, but it is thought with the counties instructed for him as second choice that this will be hard to do. Colonel Sanford has said that he is opposed to making trades, but his friends say they will make several delegation trades by throwing strength to the candi- dates for minor state offices.
 All the gubernatorial aspirants are on the move for the Dallas delegation, which has instructions to work and vote for J. Craig Smith for treasurer. With this delegation and those from two or three other strong counties Sanford could receive the nomna- ton; but the other candidates are making a strong fight, and it is possible, though hardly probable. that prorate will be made.
 Following is table showing the instruct ed, uninstructed and unheard from coun- ties. This is made up from reports received from various points throughout the coun- ties:

SITUATION WORSE
Heavy Rains Cause Rise in the Mis-
 sissippi River

Meridian, Miss, April 23.-The flood sit- uation south of Meridian has changed for the worse. Heavy rains last night caused a decided rise in waters of the Okatibee, Chunky and Chickasaw rivers streams that have caused so much damage to the three railroads running south from Merid- ian. News reached here tonight from the Chunky that that river is even with it's banks and still rising. Every report today was disheartening to railroad officials who fear full traffic cannot be resumed inside of three weeks. The citizens in small towns, shut out from the outside world, are growing desperate, 1t being one week in many instances since they have received a pound of freight or mail. Here the sit uation is bad, only the Mobile and Ohio road being able to handle freight The Alabama Great Southern Is finding great difficulty in handling one passenger train daily. The company Is unable to say when freight traffic will be resumed.
 Situation Improved
 New Orleans, April 23.-The Illinois Gen. tral and Mississippi Valley trains resumed today and the Northeastern expects to be all right in day or two.
