MAY ENLARGE THE CAPITOL


Eleven DAYS prior to the 1904 election finds
Hon. Fl. S. D. Mallory, chairman of the
state democratic executive committee,
hopeful of the largest vote in the history
of democratic ballot casting in Alabama,
and decidedly sanguine concerning the ma
tional ticket, headed by Judge Alton B.
| Parker.
He Is taking very little stock in the
quitting idea in the national contest
and believes the vote of the democrats is
going to surprise even the most expec-
tant men of the party. When seen this
afternoon at Flemings restaurant, Col
onel Mallory looked and talked as if the
whole situation, state and national, was
very promising and expected much in the
vote to be cast next Tuesday week to
please the democrats.
In the opinion of Colonel Mallory there
is the greatest unanimity among the
white people of Alabama at this time
known for many years Everybody is in
line for the democratic tickets and the
enthusiasm has run so high that he
thinks the vote will be unusually large
1t is quite likely. thinks Colonel Mallory
that the vote in some of the cities will
be lighter than it should be, when the i'm
portance of the issue is considered, but he
expects record breaking numbers for the
tickets in the country The farmers have
had a forward season and have gathered
their crops and have time to go to the
polls. They have done well in the way of
this worlds goods, better than for years,
and they have no annoyances to keep
them from going out and exercising the
duties of citizenship.
Report Great Enthusiasm.
From every portion of the state the
democrats are reporting to Colonel NAL
lory the greatest of enthusiasm He has
been told of the rally and barbecue at
Centerville tomorrow and wishes he could
be there. Besides United States Senator
Pettus, Congressman S. j. Bowie and
Congressman o. w. Underwood will like
ly be there, along with Captain Hobson
and others. Committeeman Oakley has
written that the county will poll the larg-
est vote in its history for the democracy
and that the white people are wide awake
for the national ticket
Colonel Mallory was here today to ar
range about the new nominees of the
Ninth judicial circuit The tickets not
having been printed so far the names of
Judge HARRISON and Solicitor Hunt the
nominees, viii be put on them. As head
of the democratic organization, Colonel
Mallory desired to see that every part of
the law was complied with. Solicitor
Hunt was also here.
Ninth Circuit Matter.
The secretary of state has certified the
,f,,s,t st..
son for judge and Hon. Richard C. Hunt
democratic convention recently held.
These nominees take the place of all
heretofore made and will be printed on
the official ballot In lieu of John A. Bill
bro and John a. liner, judge and solicit
tor respectively, before certified to. This
action is n line with Section of the
primary election law, page 5sS.
In letter sent out with the certificate
of nomination, Secretary of State e. r.
McDavid says: Il am informed that all
those candidates whose names were re-
quested by petition to be printed upon
the official ballot as candidates for the
office named have notified you in writing
that they will not accept the NOM
nations specified in said petitions of cleo
tors, but that this was not done twenty
days before the election. Both the attor-
ney general and the chairman of the
state democratic executive committee
are of the opinion, in which | concur
that as much of the statute as prescribes
the time In which a nominee may de-
cline his nomination is merely directory
and not mandatory, and that you may
properly leave off the ticket the names OF
those persons who have declined their
nominations as above stated
