will require about two weeks, and the
casting of this piece will be the most
difficult part of the undertaking.

Monteomery's Remarks.

In advocating his resolution Mr. Mont
gomery said In part
The republican party in Alabama is In
a more perfect state of harmony than
1t has enjoyed for a considerable time
and hoping for continuation of these
good feelings is that which prompts me
to offer these resolutions. There is some
sentiment in this state but how far reach
ing | do not know, which is at work to
the end that the approaching state con-
vention shall delegate the election Of the
state chairman TO the state committee.
/ am opposed to any change In the time
honorod custom Of electing the state
chairman and my strongest opposition to
the change lies in the fact that If the
committee elects chairman and the
chairman should not prove himself en-
tirely pleasing TO a majority thereof what
will prevent the committee from depos-
ing the chairman, creature of their OWE
selection?
IF majority of the committee should
depose the chairman, the deposed chair
man could gather the minority together,
declare vacancies to exist. fill the vacdn-
dependent committees, the very thing
some of us have made sacrifices to avoid,
and condition which has done more to
bring dsrepute to the party In Alabama
than all others. Another objection which
Is that there are thirty-four members 81
the committee and to select a chairman
by the committee brings on thirty-four
contests instead of one as we now have
It, A change of the old plan. to my mind.
multiplies the opportunities for diseord
strife and wrangling in the party, the
avoidance OF which Is devoutedly hoped
1.-THE habit Of sending 10 the national
convention contesting delegations Is now
less apparent than for many years, but
it does seem that It is still among us, and
will not be checked until the national
committee lays down the rule that con-
testants nor contestees shall be recognize
ed by that committee"
Opposition to AldrIch.
At the colse of the remarks by Mr..
Montgomery the following amendment to
the resolution was offered by Mr.
Vaughan:
And further. that we oppose the cleo
ton of w. +. Aldrich as chairman of
the state committee"
The amendment offered by Mr. Vaughan
was adopted by vote of 20 to L. The
resolutions as amended were then adopt
ed without further discussion.
The following subcommittee was ap-
pointed by the chairman to suggest new
district executive committee:

DECISION OF COURT go:
PREVENTS Ao BOND SALE.
Injunction Against Officials Of Stock
ttm in the Lighting Plant Case :
o Made Permanent ''s' >:

STOCKTON. Feb. Stockton s.
famous successful campaign. for. a
municipal lighting plast has come to
naught owing to a decision of Supe-
rior Judge Smith to-day by which the
city is permanently enjoined from
disposing of the bonds Shortly after
the proposition to bond the city for
s16O. 600 for the purpose of building a
lighting plant was carried @. G. Hyatt
sued out an injunction to prevent the
city officials from proceeding with
the sale of the bonds and basing his
application on the ground that the
city Council had exceeded its power
in the call for the election and that
the form of the bonding proposition
as presented to the voters was inn
proper. In making the injunction
permanent Judge Smith holds that the.
city has power to erect a lighting
plant for the purpose of lighting the
streets, alleys, public buildings ana
offices, but has no power under the
law to build a plant for the purpose of
selling light to the inhabitapts OF the
city.
