 The adoption Of blanket resolution awarding certificates of nomination to all candidates who led by the returns, was moved by Tyler Goodwin, defeated candidate for Solicitor, who held a proxy and his motion set at rest rumors that he was dissatisfied with the vote in one of the beats.

 Arlington c Party Man.
 Chairman Arlington has been a mem- Der of the committee for four years. Most of that time he has spent as the committees secretary. He Is a son of the late Judge Thomas H. Arlington, for many years Judge of the City Court of Montgomery. He has been quite prom inent in municipal and county politics. He is now serving his second term as Recorder of the City of Montgomery. Previous to his election to that office he was private secretary to the late Mayor John H. Clisby and to Mayor D. B. Joseph.
 When the committee was called to or der yesterday shortly after noon in the City Court room at the court house every beat in the county was represented except Beat 13.
 Proxies were held as follows: c. H. Shackleford by J. E. Crenshaw, IT,, 8. D. Hall by J. c. Crommelln, w. c. Ray by Charles P. Anderson. D. M. Huffman by E. J. Graves. W. A. Gunter, Jr. by Tyler Goodwin.
 In the matter of proxies the committee established a new and important rule. Hereafter proxies must not only be in writing but they must be held by voter
 
 man who gave the proxy.
 As soon as the roll of the committee was called s. c. Glider arose to say that hc had been elected Justice of the Peace In his beat. He had been voted for, he said, without his permission and without his knowledge. He wanted his name erased from the blanket resolution before 1t was adopted.
 Chairman Rushton said that it was not within the power of the committee to take such action. The law, however, he said. gave MT. Glider a remedy. He could notify the Judge of Probate that eial would accept his resignation.
 The blanket resolution containing the compiled and tabulated returns of the beats of the county was presented by Secretary Arlington. Mir. Goodwin moved that the resolution be adopted and it was carried by a unanimous vote.
