Selma, December 2s.-(Special)-H. s. D. Mallory, chairman of the state dem ocratic executive committee, is of the opinion that the state committee, which meets in Montgomery January g, will set the date for the primary some time in August, possibly the first Monday in the month though MT. Mallory does not specify any particular date.
 Have you any idea" said MT. Mallory to your correspondent, "how many young men there are in Alabama today between the ages say, of 20 and 22 years? I have taken some pains to investigate, and where l roughly estimated when l first favored late primary, there would be about 5000 young men who would be de- prived of the right to participate in the primary if it was held before the registra ton books were opened in July l have come to the conclusion that at least 15,000 would be nearer the mark. l have ex- amined the United States census and find that when the census was taken there were in Alabama between the ages of 19 and 21, 1900 white males. From these figures 1t is reasonable to suppose that there would be not less than 15,o00 young men deprived of the right of participa- ton in selecting the party nominees who would be expected to walk up to the polls in November and cast their votes for them.

NOVEL DEPICTING THE PLAY or
THE ELEMENTAL FORCES IN hU.
MAN NATURE.-The springs of action
in almost any novel that is worth any
thing are in the last analysis elemental,
but in some novels one gets closer to
the springs. This latter is true Of The
Pang- -Yanger, a strong, spirited, tragic
yet humorous novel by Elma A. Travis,
MD.
The "Pang- Yanger" is young man
from Pang- Yang, a place in the Cats
kills, which place the author describes
as pretty well within the borders of the
state Of total depravity. The situation
developed is very unusual, which is high
est praise in these days of the endless
making Of novels. Abijah Bead, the
Pang- Yanger had secretly married a
beautiful, soulless, luxury loving woman,
from whom he parted almost immedi-
ately. The records Of the marriage were
accidentally destroyed and the witnesses
had died or disappeared The woman.
believing her husband pauper,i and her
self safe from discovery in such ven
ture, married a wealthy man OF the COM
munity. The Pang- Yanger at the open
ing OF the story seeks bitter revenge.
He hunts up the child-the fruit Of his
early relations with the now twice-mar-
ried woman-whom the mother had hid
den away In Brooklyn and who bears a
striking resemblance to her. He brings
the boy to Huntsville, his own and the
woman's home. A tragedy follows in
time. The chief interest, however, CEN
ters In Abijahs love for q winsome, but
spirited southern girl who comes to
Huntsville to make her home with rela-
tives, and who accidentally discovers
Abijah's secret The question Is. shall

Moral Issues Won.

The people who voted yesterday in
the eastern states were keyed up to
the consideration Of some moral issues
and they seem to have grasped them
well. In Philadelphia the city reform
ticket has wiped the Penrose gang clear
off the map. In Maryland the decent re-
publicans and democrats together have
buried Gormanism under mass of
votes that will probably prevent any
future resurrection Of this pestiferous
boss. In Ohio the temperance people
have had their way and have given
Governor Herrick such run that it
will take the official count to deter
mine whether he is to win or lose. In
Pennsylvania the people, driven to
wrath by the reckless daring of the
bosses, have risen with the might Of
1 Hercules and thrown the giant of
corruption. They have converted re-
publican majority Of 100000 for Roose-
velt into democratic majority of lOO,-
600 for state treasurer. Surely this
should be an object lesson to men who
presume to make ducks and brakes of
public morality and then try to fool
the people into giving them another
lease of life.
The tide Of Indignation against sin in
high places which has been rising for a
wear has not reached it's height. It is
still rising. Let the political bosses:
the tricksters, the shysters and the
grafters beware The day Of their
reckoning may come when they least
expect it. :. =
The Minneapolis journal., 1905-11-08
The New York Voting.

It has been said that when the people
get really mad they vote, not for some.
body, but against somebody. The peo-
pie Of New York yesterday voted
against Murphy; Murphy the boss,
Murphy the trucking magnate; Muir
ply the ex bartender; Murphy the apos-
tie Of g honest graft -; Murphy the low
browed one who has caused the people
of New York to regret Croker. The
people voted against this malformation
in the life Of America and, tho his can
didate has crept back into office on
hands and knees, whimpering and cry
ing from the blows which have glanced
from his master to him, Murphy knows
that he has been spurned by the hon
est people Of New York.
The division Of the vote in three
sided contest was all that made Muir
phys candidate possible. The result is
so close that the Now York Press de-
clares that it does not believe McClel-
Ian was elected. It points to the fact
that some Tammany districts came in
stronger for Mcclellan this year, when
the organization was rent in twain,
than they did two years ago, when
Tammany was united triumphant, as
significant Of fraud. It calls upon the
municipal ownership league to mako ,le-
gal test Of whether George B. Nc
Clellan was really elected. The contest
will surely be started by Mr.. Hearst,
who came within $500 votes Of plu-
rality in total vote of upward Of six
hundred thousand.
Aside from the moral victory in the
rebuke administered to Murphy by the
election Of Jerome and the beggarly
plurality for Mcclellan, the most esti-
mable result is the loss to ~Tammany of
the control Of the board Of aldermen.
The control Of this board is essential to
the looting thru contracts. The Murphy
machine fattens on the franchises con.
veniently passed by the subservient
board How it was lost is not yet clear,
but 1t was probably result Of the
tremendous vote cast for Hearst -. in
Brooklyn. He has carried that borough
| by $4,000 and must have carried in a
large number of publlc-ownership alder.
| men.
The result of the voting in New York
leaves Mr.. Hearst a national figure and
tends to eliminate Mcclellan from con
sideration as presidential candidate
The Tammany mayor who cannot hold
the Tammany vote is hardly in a po
sition to ask for q presidential nomi
nation. Hearst, on the other hand, with
out an organization, has divided the
democratic vote with Mcclellan. He il
therefore a factor to be reckoned will
in democratic politics.

A DRY SUNDAY IN MINNEAPOLIS
Kansas City Star.

= .. 80 81 = Kansas City Star. -
Minneapolis had a dry" Sunday yes
terday, and presumably it was as orderly
as it was "dry.', 1t all came about as a
result of Sunday closing in Missouri.
Mayor Jones studied conditions in St.
Louis and Kansas City before and after
Sunday enforcement. He liked the con-
trast and was convinced that it would be
as good for Minneapolis as it had been
for the Missouri cities. But primarily he
was impelled to act because the running
Of saloons in that city was against the
law, and he was sworn to enforce the
laws. The instructive thing about the
Minneapolis proceeding is that every sa-
loon was closed in day as a result Of the
mayors sweeping order. The police had
no difficulty In making the saloonkeepers
obey. All that was necessary was that
the mayor was in earnest and that the
police department was obedlent to his
orders. That is all that is necessary in
any city. Nothing more would be needed
in Kansas City, Kan, except the right
kind of instructions from Mayor Rose to
close the saloons Of that city Sunday and
every day in the week. And that is why
the custer proceedings against that off,
cial and the county attorney, when they
are once brought to issue, ought to ac-
complish something. The failure Of duty
is certainly as clear as anything in cir
cumstantial evidence can make it..
