JOHNSTON WILL NOT
BE INTERVIEWED
EX-GOVERNOR DECLINES TO DIS
CUSS REPORT COMING FROM
EDITOR WILSON THAT HE WILL
OPPOSE JELkS.

Many Democrats who are connected
candidate in the field to oppose Governor
w. D. Jelks for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation are inclined to believe that Mr..
Hugh NJ. Wilson of Opelika was right in
assuming that former Governor Joseph
F. Johnston would announce for the
governorship
Asked vest erday If he had anything to
say, Captain Johnston replied In the
negative. He declined absolutely to be
interviewed.
A friend of the former Governor said:
II do not believe that Captain Johnston
wants to enter the race. Indeed I am
certain that he would prefer to see some
other man make the contest for the nomi-
nation, but 1t may be that he will be
forced to announce. 1t has been agreed
among the opponents of Governor Jelks
to put out a candidate And the man that
is chosen will be a very formidable can
didate.
"'Tbe Hon. William L. Martin, who
served two terms as attorney general, is
spoken of as a possible candidate. He
lives in Montgomery but he is Jackson
county man. There Is no better man in
Alabama better qualified for the high Of
flee of Governor than Mr.. Martin. He
is able and business-like and would make
an ideal executive. But he has never
cared for the turmoil of politics and ! do
not knew that he could be induced to run.
IF Johnston is prevailed upon to oppose
Jelks he will have a strong following and
his supporters will go In to win.
LAS to when the campaign will start I
am not informed. My judgment is July
will be early enough"

DOZIER Is FINED
FOR ASSAULT
YOUNG DOCTOR CONVICTED OF
ASSAULT AND BATTERY AS RE-
SUIT OF SHOOTING AFFRAY
WITH j. H. CASH.

DIR. Byron Dozler was convicted of as
Eault and battery yesterday in the Crimi-
nal Court and fined $50. He was tried for
assault with intent to murder the charge
growing out of a shooting scrape which
occurred between himself and Mr.. J. H.
Cash, In front of the Florence Hotel in
October last. Mr.. Cash is also under in
dictment for assault with intent to muir
der, but has not been tried.
The defense of DIR. Dozier was that he
shot in self-defense and that he did not
draw his pistol until Cash had drawn
his and was firing at him. His father,
DIR. o. T. Dozier, who was present and
took part in the difficulty by striking
Cash with stick. testified to this effect
as did Miss Jamerson, Mr.. Hunt, Mr..
Kitrell, Mr.. Black, Mr.. Donell and Mr..
Mabel.
DR.. Dozier paid his fine, although he
was advised that a new trial could be
had, he feeling that it was better to end
the matter in this way as the fine was
a small one.
