MONTGOMERY WILL
 HAVE HOT ELECTION
Mayor and Several Aldermen
 to Be Named.
OF THE CAPlToL
Large Number of Delegates Selected to Go to National Good Roads Con- vention-Among Them Are Prom
 inent Citizens of Birmingham.

Montgomery, March 29 9-(Special)-Nith of city officers just one week off, ward politics is getting mighty warm in this town A mayor, three aldermen-at-large and two aldermen from each of the six wards are to be selected, and there is a scramble in progress such as the peo pie here have not heretofore witnessed.
 There are seven candidates for mayor, and all seven have pretty fair follow ing. The rules of the primary provide that to make a nomination majority of the 1862 registered votes must be re- ceived. It is generally conceded that no one of the candidates can receive this majority in the first primary, and run off between the two highest must be had. The candidates are Charles P. Anderson, local coal dealer and present member of the board of aldermen; E. J. Meyer, a wholesale merchant; J. T. Andrew, retired capitalist; Thomas H. Carr. q manufacturer; John G. Finley, a lawyer, J. H. Hartley, a manufacturer. and James Toole, a manufacturer.
 As a matter of course. each of these candidates believes that he has show to get into the run off race, but public sentiment is pretty well crystalized that the final race is to be between two of these three-E. J. Meyer. C. P. Anderson and Thomas H. Carr. Even money is be- ing offered by the supporters of the three that the bettors favorite will be in the running. It is just a little too early to form an accurate forecast.
 Aldermen at Large.
 The candidates for aldermen-at-la large are Pat McGauley, J. Kirk Jackson, J. T. May. John F. Kohn. w. E. Haygood, w. M. Teague. Dr. A. St. Clair. Tennille and Lorenzo Davis. It only requires plural ity to nominate in this contest, and the vote seems so well divided between the candidates that no surprise would be oc- casioned by the success of any three of the aspirants.
 More interest is taken in the contest for aldermen than usual. as they are now charged with the election of a police commission which is l. erect the police force from chief down. Formerly the mayor las appointed the chief and cap tain with the consent of the aldermen, and through the chief he has had con trol of the entire police force. Otherwise the appointing power of the mayor re- mains as formerly
 In the several wards the contestants for aldermen are as follows:
 First ward-Charles B. Coins, Gaston Gunter, l.. A. Sanderson, J. D. Farley and James II. West.
 Second ward-C L. Ruth Leopold Strauss and George H. Todd Jr
 Third ward-A G. Forbes and Nathan Lobman
 Fourth ward-Adolph Roemer, George Stuart, c. P. Mcintyre and James W. Smith
 Fifth ward-Charles A. Griffith, A. OclS- enden, James Maddox and D. F. Gorrie
 Sixth ward-James J. Sullivan, W. J. Ryen and Jesse Wadsworth.
