Governor-elect Adams has de-
cided to take an active part in the
electoral struggle that is going on
over the vote in Denver. He real
ICES as does the many thousands
of others who are anxious to see
him inaugurated next month that
unless something is done to stop
the work of the supreme court in
throwing out all the Democratic
precincts where they claim fraud
was practised, his five thousand
majority in Denver will be re-
versed. He believes as does honest
Democrats and Republicans alike,
that gigantic corporation con-
kpiracy Is hidden in the jugglery
of Denver's vote of which Napoleon
Evans is at the bottom. The fol.
lowing statement from Mr.. Adams
Shows that if he thought for n
minute he was not honestly elect
ed to the governors chair he would
make no effort whatever to retain
the same.
II have no question about my
election by substantially the ma
jority reported on the face of the
returns. / belive il the frauds in
outside counties could be unearth-
ed my honest majority would
amount to 10000. But 1 want no
tainted seat. 1t is of far greater
importance that extensive election

|l2 EJECTMENT SUITS
UNIVERSITY or ALABAMA
 BRINGS ACTION.
Alleged That Lands Belonging ts the Institution of Learning are Being Unlswfully Occupied
 By Outsiders.

Birmingham. March lz-(speciai. )-In the Circuit Court here. the Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama has filed twelve ejectment suits against dozen men who are said to be occupy ing lands owned by the University. In each case s500 is claimed as damages for the alleged unlawful occupation for the land in question. Most Of the property is in Jefferson County.
 The names of the defendants are: M. M. Quinn, J. w. Parsons, J.. W. Hop- kins. w. N. Glaze. !. w. Cox, I. V. Norris. R. N. Nichols. M. M. Nichols. J. B. Reeves. F. F. Parsons. 8. H. At. wood and S.. F. Quinn. Hugh Morrow of Birmingham and A. B. McEachin of Tuscaloosa are attorneys for the plaintiff.
 This is but part of an investigation started some months ago as to alleged unlawful occupation of lands belonging to the University. It is claimed that coal and land company with headquarters in Bessemer, is also Interested in occupation of lands belonging to the University and there may be some legal steps taken in this matter.

Aldrich,s Trin East.

It is announced here that w. F. Aldrich. of Aldrich, one of the referees of Federal patronage, has gone to New York, and that his mission to that place Is for the purpose of consulting with J. s. Clarkson, who is in charge of Southern affairs for President Roosevelt looking to calling J. 0. Thompson, who is also a referee. from the race for chairman of the State Execu' tive Committee. Mr. Aldrich has an. nounced that he is opposed to any office. holder being chairman of the party in Alabama and while not saying so 1t is understood that he is candidate for the position. The story here Is that Mr Aldrich goes to New York and will ask Mr. Clarkson to call Mir. Thompson off in the race or there may be fight in other directions. It Is hard to believe. how ever, that there could be any desertlon from President Roosevelt in this State and especially among the referees, but there Is much significance in the trip to ments to make today beyond saying that he had heard that Mir; Aldrich had gone East. He says that he is aware of the fact that Mir. Aldrich wants a man to be chairman of the State committee who Is not an of1ce-holder and that means that he CThompson) is not favored.
