 Very Popular In Mobile.

Mobile, September 13.-(Special.) .)-Fon. Massey Wilson, candidate for attorney general in the recent primary. carried Mobile by large plurality and the pros pect is that his majority in Mobile in the primary Monday will be immense. He is being supported by both the Jelks and Johnston factions and his friends are very much encouraged by the prospects.
 The following letters from prominent supporters of MT. Wilson are strong tes- timonials as to his character, integrity and ability as a lawyer:
 Mobile, Ala, September 13.
 have known Hon. Massey Wilson for number of years as a lawyer and as clerk of the Alabama house of repre- sentatives, and served with him in the legislature of 190-1.
 He is an able man, having strong com mon sense and a singularly clear and accurate judgment, and with that is an excellent lawyer.
 He would fill the position of attorney general admirably none better.
 l have never found him other than straightforward and honorable, and have confidence in his integrity.
 In fairness and as a matter of wise party policy South Alabama ought to have a place on the state ticket of the democratic party and that can only be secured by his nomination.
 R. H. CLARKE.
 Hon. Massey Wilson of Clarke county is eminently deserving of election as at torney general
 l have known him intfmatelv for twelve years past having been his class mate at the University of Alabama. He is graduate of law at the state uni vershy, ana also studied at the Univer- sity of Virginia. The splendid equipment which he received at those two institu- tions has served him well during eleven years active practice of his profession, and he is recognized in all this section of the state as a lawyer of high attain ments scrupulous integrity and tireless industry.
 Six years association with MT. Wilson while he served as clerk of the house enables me to say that his work there was able, painstalsing and above re- proach. As a member of the late con- stitutional convention he took high rank in a body of exceptionally able men.
 MT. Wilson Is loyal to his friends, fear less in the performance of his duty and is lofty type of the young democracy of Alabama.
 We in this neck of the woods" are earnestly hopeful for his election. and feel the utmost confidence that, if Mir. Wilson receives the nomination, the high honor will be most worthiy bestowed.
 EDWARD M. ROBINSON, Mobile. Ala, 1902.
 My judgment is that Hon. Massey Will son ought to have the democratic nomi- nation for attorney general. and am urging my friends in Mobile to support him.
 During my service in the senate of MT. Wilson was clerk of the house and l was frequently thrown with him, both officially and personally. I am familiar with his record in public office and with his excellent ability as a law yer, and his conspicuous service to the democratic party is well known in south Alabama and throughout the state There is no doubt in my mind that he would adorn the high office to which he asplres His splendid vote in the first primary in which he received $500 more votes than his leading opponent. attests the fact that MT. Wilson has the confidence of the people of Alabama, and it seems to me that he ought to receive in this prI- mary a magnificent indorsement from the democracy of the state. *ss A. S. LYONS.
