 Harrison Huntley. although a young man. is developing into a good setor. With the possible exception of Miss May belle Moore and Miss Augusta Gill the women in the cast last night presented themselves poorly.
 In the execution of tho play Huntley and Ormonde did practically all Of the work and the large audience frequently showed it's apprecia ton of their efforts The play tonight will be The Danites."

To My Fellow Citizens,

To My Fellow Citizens,
 Upon the eve of the Mayoralty Con- test some of the zealious friends of a candidate saw it to start a rumor that intended to withdraw from the race. I have heretofore overlooked ordinary campaign lies, but as this was evidently started with the in- tention of influencing the public against me, I deem it best to use this method to brand such an assertion as absolutely false.
 I am in the race to stay and have every possible assurance of success.
 Respectfully.

REFEREES
 CALL MEETING Republicans to Assemble
 in Montgomery. WANT PARTY HARMONY Those FrieSdly to President Roosevelt Invited. Messrs. Thompson, Scott and Add rich Issue Statement of
 Significance Campaign to
 Secure the Alabama
 Delegation

call for a meeting of Republicans friendly to President Roosevelt, to be held in Montgomery May s was issued Eesterdsy morning ny J.. Q. Thompson. representatives of the administration.
 While the call announces that the pur- pose of the meeting is to formulate plans for party harmony it is we'll understood that It Is to be in the interest of Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 The conference. as shown by the call, will consider the matter of sending dele gates to the next national convention and 1t Is probable that efforts will be made to insure solid Roosevelt delega- ton in the event that he has opposition. The call also indicates that an effort will be made to harmonize differences now existing in the party in Alabama, growing out of the so-called lily white movement. The friends of the adminis- tration'' are invited to be present and this is significant and has prompted the aues- ton. Will those who do not attend be ranked as unfriendly?''
 The referees have just had c long, drawn-out fight for control of the State Republican Executive Committee. the control of which was necessary to in- sure the complete success of the refereIes In Alabama. They secured the signatures of seventeen members of the committee to what was termed a compromise agree- ment. or resolution, and as seventeen con- stitutes a majority they have since claimed the committee. Since this was done no move has been taken so far as Is known. to secure a meeting of the com mittee, but 1t is highly probable that this matter may be considered at the coming conference and the effort to have such meeting renewed.
 If President Roosevelt is without oppo- sition In the race for the Presidential nomination, the situation in Alabama will cut no figure. but in the event that such opposition develops. 1t will be of import ance to him to have this State, the first on the roll call. and his representatives no doubt hope to settle this matter satis- factorfly to themselves at this meeting The call for the meeting is as follows: We cordially invite the friends of the administration and all members of the Republican organization. State District and County, to meet with us in Montgom- cry on Wednesday. May 6. to confer and to formulate plans for concerted harmo- nious party action.
 Within year an important national convention of our party will be held and to plan so that Alabama win send but a single delegation to the national conven- ton, composed of our best citizens: to properly represent fthe Republicans of Alabama, and the financial, commercial industrial and educational interests of our great and growing State.
 Respectfully and fraternaliy,
