GuntersvfIEe Lawyer May Try To suc-
 eeed Attorney ReuEhac.
 Gadsden, Nov. 12-(SpeeiaL l--An au- thentic story is going the rounds here in political circles to the effect that o. D. Street, a young lawyer of some note, of Guntersville, is anxious to suc- ceed United States District Attorney Roulhac, when his term expires.
 One of the best posted Republicans in the Seventh Congressional District is authority for the statement. He said that Street was Instrumental in having C. D. Kennemore nominated ,and fost- cred his recent campaign, and has tried numerous other ways to get himself into the Ilmeiight. He stated further that Burnett's great majority in last Tuesdays election had thrown dam per over the party in this district, and that the future looked blue. The Pol lak faction. he said. was largely re- sponsible for the increased vote re- ceived by Colonel Burnett. and the facts bear him out as Cuilman County, which is Pollak's home, showed one of the largest increases in the eRtire district.
 The same gentleman said Pollak had planned great things and if he had heen nominated, would have spent his money freely, and that Pollak had as- surances from the National Republican Committee that he would be assisted both with money and speakers in an effort to carry the district for the Re- publicans.
 PoiIak was turned down by Thomp- son and his crowd, and Pollak and his followers never recognized Kennemore as being the party n0minee, and voted for Colonel Burnett. The Democrats of the district are in high spirits over the victory and say that 1t will remove the seventh out of the doubtful eol- umn forever
 Considerable speculation is being in- duIEed in as to who will succeed Col onel John l.. Burnett in Congress two years from now, should he decide to retire. It Is said Colonel Burnett has intimated to friends he will probably not make the race again. In fact, the rumor was current last spring that he was in doubt about making the race in the election just closed, but tht he changed his mind when he@saw that there would be no decided opposition to his re-nomination.
 Colonel Burnett has an excellent law practice, and he could make twice the gress with much less enort. One of the rising young politicians who is being frequently spoken of Is Hon. E, D. Manner of Attalla, who has just re- gently been elstced Senator from the Sixth District by a handsome majority against heavy odds. He has twice led his party to victory. He is a quiet, but determined worker.
 Mayor Charles F. smith is a strong possibility also, and would probably enter the race. Both of these gentle men are personal friends of Colonel Burnett, and neither would oppose him. There are several others outside of this county who would pi opably enter the contest, the most prominent being John A. Lusk of Guntersville, who contested with Colonel Burnett for the nomlna- tion two years ago.
 Mrs. Ada Clarks has resigned her position as local manager of the Pos tai Telegraph Company, and has been succeeded by J. w. Muslin of Tusca. loosa.
