SULLIVAN NOT IN RACE
WILL SEEK REELECTION AS AL
 GERMAN FROM WARD SIX.
In Making Announcement Young Mem- ber of Council Says He Has "De- finite Ideas of Municipal
 Government"

Alderman J. J. Sullivan will not be a candidate for Mayor of Montgom- cry.
 The Alderman from Ward 6, announ- ced last night that he would not seek the highest office in the gift of the people of Montgomery but that he would be a candidate for reelection as Alderman from his ward.
 The often repeated suggestion that Alderman Sullivan would be a candi- date for Mayor had led many to be- lieve that he was in fact a candidate except for his formal announcement. Admitting that he had given the mat ter of his candidacy for the higher of flee serious consideration, Alderman Sullivan last night said that he had decided not to run for Mayor.
 Alderman Sullivan in making this announcement furnished The Adver- tiser with the following statement:
 "As my name has been frequently suggested as one who might be can didate for the high office of Mayor of Montgomery, I deem it proper to say will content myself with asking for the endorsement of my neignbors for a second term as Alderman from Ward G.
 '"rhere are several reasons which impel me to forego this ambition to run for Mayor, chief of which Is the fact that I must give the largest share of my time to my business and have not the time to devote to a campaign in so wide a field. As high an honor, as it is to be Mayor, I could not sac- rifice my business affairs for 1t, even if I were elected.
 T believe my record as an Alderman warrants me in saying that I have definite and direct ideas on municipal government which I have never hest tated to express. It is gratifying te me that my course in the Council has caused so many of my friends to sug- gest that I should run for Mayor These friends have my grateful regard for their confidence"
 The statement of Alderman Sulli van eliminates the last one of the men whose names have been so fire quently used in connection with the mayorality campaign and narrows the race down to Aldermen A. c. Forbes ana W. M. Teague and Judge Frances c. Randolph.
 I guess l will be right busy in Ward 6" was the eVasfve reply of Alderman Sullivan when ased for an expression of opinion on tine municipal campaign.
 Friends of Alderman Teague said yesterday afternoon that 1t was prob able a meeting in his interest would be held one night early in this week
 A club was organized Saturday night.
