The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-10-09

The time limit for the filing of nom nations for a place on the official nal- lot for the general election of NoVem- Der 8, expired yesterday. The law provides that the names or all nominees shall be filed with the Secretary of State by the proper au- thorities of the party making the nomination thirty days before the cleo tton. The law further provides that the filing of a petition thirty days be- fore the election, signed by 300 names would entitle 8 man to have his name presented on the official ballot. The Secretary of State, when tho time limit has expired. is required to certify to the Probate Judge of each County in the State the names for printing on the official ballot.
 The decision of the Supreme Court in the Lusk Act has, in a way, com plicated the duties of Secretary Of State E. R. McDavid. For instance there has been certified to him nomi- nations of candidates for Judges and Solicitors in the Sixteenth and seven- teenth Judicial Circuits. Since the de- cision of the Supreme Court there are no such circuits.
 Moreover, in the Ninth Circuit the Democratic party authorities have cer- tified that J. A. Bilbro and J. A. In- ger have been nominated for Judge and Solicitor. By petition W. W. Haral- son and J. B. Talley for Judge, and R. c. Hunt and E. O. McCord and J. A. Inzer have secured the right to have their names placed upon the off, cial ballots.
 Secretary McDavid could make out his certificate at once just as the names have been certified to him. He has in fact made out a blank certih- cate which, under the law, he can hold up for a few days.
 The certificates will not be sent out until after the meeting of the State Executive Committee of the Democratic party in Birmingham. Tuesday. At that time something will be done to simplify the congested condition in the Ninth Circuit and in other circuits that may need party action. It Is not thought that there will be so many Democratic candidates in the involved circuits after the State Committee meets.
 Jefferson County will need some att tention. Since the overthrow of the Birmingham consolidated court act there Is only one Judgeship to be de- cided by the November election. but there are four candidates for the one place.
 Late yestersay afternoon J. B. Tal- ley of scottsboro, qualified to have his name placed on the official ballot as a candidate for Judge of the Ninth Cir cult.
 The certificate as made out yesterday afternoon by the Secretary of State is as follows:
