The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-04-12

In the foregoing correspondence the two leading candidates for Mayor os Montgomery in Mondays primary elcc- ton yesterday exchanged the compli- ments of the occasion.
 There was a calm yesterday after the political storm of Monday. Head quarters of the candidates were clo 5ad and their lieutenants and workers ie- turned to their accustomed avocations MT. Teague was about his mercantile business and Captain Forbes went to work over his desk in the pig plano house on Dexter Avenue.
 Candidates for Aldermen, who were successful. were about the streets shak- ing hands with the voters and thank ing them and candidates who were de- feated received the sympathy of their admirers.
 The surprises of the election returns were the defeat of Aldermen -at-Largc J. K. Jackson and John P. Kohn, and the remarkable popularity at the poll of J. H. Hartley and W. N. Cox. MT. Hartley led the ticket for Alderman at-Large, polling 1.626 votes, or only eight votes less than the almost un- precedented vote cast for Mir. Teague for Mayor. MT. Cox ran next to Mir Hartley, polling 1,246 votes, or five votes ahead of Alderman Leopold Strauss, the third choice for Alderman at-Large. who boiled 1,241 votes.
 By a typographical error in yester- days Advertiser, MT. Cox was net cred ited with any votes in Ward 6. In this ward he received 92 votes.
 Political wiseacres are still discuss ing the popularity of MT. Cox. It was his first venture into political seas and he has never been what is commonly a popular man in the sense that he has mixed with men for future political ad- vantage. He decided about four weeks ago that he would become a candidate for Alderman -at-Large. Having de- cided, he threw all of his energy and activity into the campaign. His name was on almost every tongue Monday.
 It is expected that Alderman c. P. Mcintyre, who will be reelected as one of the nominees from Ward 4, will be again chosen as President of the City Council. By reason of the retirement of Alderman Kohn, the incoming Presi- dent will have to chose another man at the head of the important Committee on Finance of the Council, MT. Kohn having held that position for four. years.
 The new Council will select a num- Der of the minor officials of the city. It was said that contests for Recorder cut quite a figure in the campaign for Aldermen. Furthermore, it is said that the contestants TOT tne JuuSeSnlp of the Police Court will be Recorder Arlington and Captain E. F. Baber. Friends of each of these young men hold that they have a majority of the nominees for aldermanic honors.
 Another interesting phase of the po- litical situation is the contest for City Attorney which will be fought out on the floor of the City Council. The present incumbent. Ray Rushton, man aged the campaign of Captain Forbes. It is said Bibb Graves, who was one of the Teague lieutenants, will want the position. It remains to be seen how the various Aldermen feel over these matters.
 Some of MT. Teague's close political friends said yesterday that throughout the campaign they had declared no promises had been made for reappolnt- ment of city officials and that there might be surprises next fall when the Mayors cabinet Is formed.
