REPUBLICANS SCARED
CIVIL SERVICE AGENTS IN BIR-
 MINGHAM.
Reported That Leading oficeholders May Lose Their Positions-Demo-
 crats Continue Active Work of Campaign.

Birmingham, Oct. 16.-(Special. )-No small amount of uneasiness exists among Republican office holders in the State and especially in the northern p4art of Ala bama as rumor has it that two of the leading ofice holders in the State may lose their positions.
 Of course. there is nothing but gossip heard but stories which come from Wash inGton and elsewhere have it that the national leaders of the Republicans. are displeased at conditions here. One story is that the big leaders of the party are displeased because of the colored mans fate in this State, while another reason Is that the recent convention in barely endorsing President Roosevelt for re- nomination is the cause of the i'll feel ings..
 J. H. Bingham. Collector of Internal Revenues, Is just back from Washington. He denies that his trip to the Capital City had any political connection. He pays but little attention, according to state- ments given out, to the rumors now af1oat Notwithstanding a stin stand made by several of the Republican leaders here abouts. 1t is apparent that there is some apprehension.
 Already an agent of the civil\ service has been in the city. His visit here was for the purpose of holding an examina- tions and it is stated that while here he received a message instructing him to make an investigation as to the violations of civil service rules in that too much activity was taken in political matters. The gentleman is said to have set about csrrying out instructions, but had an ap- pointment at Meridian, Miss, and left here for that place. announcing. however. tahat he would be back to further prose- cute the investigation.
 On the side 1t is stated that another agent of the government was here making a little investigation and when reports are sent to the headquarters something is likely to happen.
 The rumors are causing much talk not only among the Republicans, but among the Democrats.
 The appointment of the Assistant Dis- trict Attorney is now looked for daily. Of course. recommendations by Judge Roulhac will be listened to be the admin istration. It is reported that J. H. Nathan of Sheffield. a partner Of Judge Roulhac will secure the honor, though some mention has been made of N. l.. Steele of Montgomery.
