 Attorneys and the other members of the legislature were especially interested and discussed the matter freely, although none of them would talk for publication. A reporter of the Age-Herald tried to get interviews from at least a dozen, but none of them were willing to be quoted.
 Opinions differed as usual. Some thought the act was perfectly valid and others agreed with MT. London's contention that it was unconstitutional. Some held that 1t applied only to the county officers, and some to all officers who were voted for at the primary last August.
 The smallness of the election expenses of each candidate was generally com mented on.

 The grand jury has all aspects of the law before them for consideration, but so far no one has been indicted for vio- lating any of its provisions.
 The following special was received last night from Montgomery. saying that Governor Jelks thought the law ap- piled only to county candidates:
 Montgomery, January 9.-(SpeciaL)- Governor Jelks' attention has been called to the local election in Jefferson county under which 1t is being said that all candidates before the last democratic primary who did not file a sworn state- ment of their expenses in thirty days Is liable to indictment and a fine of s1O0. He said that he had heard the law incl dentally discussed after the election, but the impression left in his mind was that it applied only to local county candidates Those discussing 1t took that view as he remembers it, and he had not thought of it since. The governor has not read the law at any time"
