l for mayor of Birmingham He decided upon this action yesterday afternoon, and so notified Judge H. B. Abernathy chair man of the city democratic executive committee, and James F. Hawkins, treas urer of the subcommittee. MT. Cope land will stand for reelection as an alderman from the fourth ward.
 With the withdrawal of Mr. Copeland from the race, five candidates for mayor are left in the field. The announcement of MT Copeland of his intention to with draw caused somewhat of a sensation in municipal political circles. In speaking of the matter yesterday afternoon he said:
 T have had the matter under careful consideration for several days, and have l just reached a decision. 1 do not with draw from the race in favor of any other candidate in the field. l leave this mat ter entirely in the hands of my friends and supporters. I shall be a candidate for reelection as an alderman from my ward, which is the fourth"
 The general impression in politics is that no one candidate for mayor will de- rive any special strength by the with drawal of MT. Copeland from the race 1t | is understood that his supporters will scatter on the proposition.

All of the candidates are hard at work urging their friends and supporters to register.
