KENNEDY NAMED WINNER

S- congress refusing to seat him as the con gressman from the Fifth district, to which post he has been elected, Hon. J. Thomas Hetiin today said: If l am re- fused my seat because of what l have said in this campaign I will come back here and run for governor, and 1 will beat any man they put out against me-"
 It will be remembered that some days ago in a speech at Tuskegee, MT. Hefiin intmated that if some bomb thrower had thrown a missile of death under the table when Booker Washington and Roosevelt were eating together there would have been little loss to the coun- try; also that if Washington interfered in his campaign, We have a way of in- fuencing the negro down here"
 It has been quite freely predicted that these remarks will be sufficient for the republicans to refuse to allow him his seat. on the ground that they are in vio lation of law and order principles. MT. Hefiin said today that his remark about Washington and Roosevelt was in fun and was so understood, and that he will say so if they are called against him at Washington.
 HefIln Is Confident.
 The Hon. J. Thomas Hefiin was in Montgomery today. He is very enthusi- astic over the outlook for success in his district, for not only himself but the whole parker ticket.
 He says he will poll most of the popu- lists who have not come back to the dem- ocratfc party, and large per cent of the Lily White republicans. My vote will be so large that those who have been mi xui1 haf I 70 and confidence of my party" said MT. Hefin in talking of the situation. He has made eight speeches since he opened his campaign and says he has had large crowds at all of them. He says the Lily White republicans are going to vote for him in large numbers because they do not like the negro methods of Capt B. w. Walker, the republican-populist nominee who was nominated at a convention where one of the secretaries was a negro. MT. Hefn was accompanied by Presiden- tial Elector John w. Overton of We dowee.

B. Kennedy of Birmingham an- nounced. The vote stood: Kennedy 26, J. l.. Daniels IA Major Daniels lives in An niston, and is the senior major of the reg iment. The vote of George D. Waller, re- gently elected captain of Company H, Bessemer was not counted for the reason that he had not been commissioned number of protests were filed. Capt D. H. Smith of Company I, Oxford, objected to the vote of Junior Second Lieutenant c. H. Echols of Gadsden on the ground that he had not been regular and submis- sive members of the company.
 Captain Kennedy filed a protest against the votes of several officers but stated that if he received a majority they were not to be considered. None of the protests were considered by the adjutant general for the reason that they did not effect the result An order has been issued an- nouncng the result and as soon as a board is appointed and Captain Kennedy has been examined, he will be commits stoned.
 This will make Lieutenant Colonel Ken redy commander of the regiment for the reason that Colonel Higdon Is under in- definite suspension. He succeeds Lieut.. Col F. P Mcconnell, who recently re- signed.
