is beginning to fix up his fences by ar
engagements for the nomination OF his
friends to the Legislature. In this work
he has II telling advantage over his OPP

the following unmistakable language =
"The Observer" was the first to sound
the warning in this county several weeks
since. that the party is wcaried Of sub
mission to incapable leadership which
knows nothing hut defeat. To he more
explicit, we insist that there should be n
complete revolution in the State Leader
ship. Mr.. Murray Vardiver's days as

if we expect to win in the fall campaign
As we stated previously. there is Il grow
| ing spirit of reStlessness and diSsatisfac
ton which nothing short of his rcsigna
ton can relieve. We have no personal
charges to prefer again Mr.. Nandiver
but we do know that the most trusted
| advisors in the State are counselling his
removal. And they are not men who
would do so without cause. The scnti-
ment of the masses is against his con-
tinuance as Chairman, to Il preponderat-
ing extent. 1t is time that he should
step down and out in order to allow a
man to he Chairman in whom the people
have confidence.
| 1t is an open secret that he cherishes
the hope Of selecting some Gubernatoral
Candidate in sympathy with his line of
action, and it is also known that he is

Governor Browns personal following in
this State outnumbcrs Mr.. VandverS
and others OF such calihrc II hundred To

has no use for any man whom he canno,
use to further his own selfish ends.
His favorite candidate for United
States Senator is Governor John Walter
Smith. whose principal recommendations
seem to he the pardoning of negro Grim
mails and appointing Worcester County

edge these two things are the principal
features of his administration. We ar,
opposed to the realization of EX-Gover

honors equally as much rs the continu

 Many strange things take place these warm June days" unused a well known baseball fan at he ball park yesterday afternoon just at the close of the game. but there Is one thing I'll wager my old hat on, and that is that the umpire who decides the winner of The Advertis er's Vacation Trip Contest will give bet ter satisfaction and cause less kicks than this fellow has this afternoon"
 There was a lull. then a more sudden echo of rights" Yes. he was right. there will be no wrangling about who will be first in The Advertisers Vacation Trip Contest, for the votes will be there to prove the assertion and therefore the umpire win be vindicated in his decision. A glance at the list of contestants today will enable interested persons to note the changes in the contest.
 Mrs. Mattie Lamar still holds the lead but Rev. w. A. Talliaferro of Greenville has suddenly leaped into fifth place. while J. E. Finley of Dothan sprang from away down the line over the heads of many hustling competitors and landed fiat foot ed into seventh place.
 Opelika showed up with new candidates all in bunch. and evenly divided and rinning an even race.
 The country cousins seem to be getting in line unusually rapid. The main thing to do is to keep voting and asking for votes.
