The last week. but one, of the present campaign for the democratic nominations for state and county officers opened up yes terday with more life and energy than characterized the former two or three weeks. The candidates for county offices who have up to the present time occupied rear positions in the political procession pushed to the front and promise to be more aggressive from now forward than in the past. Every White voter in every precinct in the county is being interviewed and his support sought by all the candidates. From now till the close of the campaign they will divide honors with the senatorial and guber material candidates.
 The fight between the friends of Senator Morgan and Governor Johnston was renew ed with greater vigor yesterday, and each side claims the county as absolutely cer- tain to go for it's man. They present figures and assertions upon which to base the claims. The Morgan people claim that the registration in Birmingham, Bessemer Ensley Pratt City, Woodlawn and Avon- dale indicate that the county will give Sem ator Morgan a safe majority, while the JOHnSlOU ptOple assert that a great many of the men who have joined Morgan clubs have stated they will vote for Governor Johnston on the day of the primary. One of Governor Johnstons warmest supporters stated to an Age-Herald reporter that more than half of the members of d Morgan club in one of the country precincts were for Johnston and had signfied their intention of voting for him. He refused to name the club, but stated that it was not the only one of the kind.
 Johnston VIII Come
 Chairman Roden, of the Johnston com mittee, stated yesterday that he expected the governor to come to Jefferson county to make two or three speeches before the primary election, but he did not know just when he would be here.
