 About Gathering.
 

| Montgomery will be filled with State
 politics until Monday night. Not only will the State Democratic Executive
 Committse meet here Friday, and the
 state Democratic Convention assembi
 Monday. but 1t is understood that an
 Important political gathering will be
 held Saturday
 IL IS said that quiet conference of
 some of the leading supporters of Hon
 B. B. Conner will assemble Saturday if
 Montgomery to go over the situation
 and take such action as may be deemed expedient. The scope of the SatGrday lconference is not known to the unini-
 tlased. More or less reliable informa- ton has 1t that a number of the men
 who were leaders of the fight of Mir Conner In various counties shave been invited to come to Montgomery for a talk and conference on the eve of the assembling of the eonven ton, and i'm niediately following the meeting of the State Executive Committed
 The natural supposition is that a program Is to be adopted. and that steps will be taken to get the full fruits of the victory achieved by Mir. Conner and his friends in the primary. It is
 believed the conference will be more concerned over the naming of the new Executivecommittee than over anything else. The new committee is to be named by the convention It will be the sim gle Independent thing that can be done by the convention. So. far as naming the Chief Justice and the two Associate Justices is concerned. the primary has taken that out or the hands of the con- vention. and the convention can only ratify what the primary has done.
 But some of Mir. Corners leading Irlends have been waging a vigorous warfare on the State Committee. This has been done in spite of the fact that the present committee is the only com nittee which has ever been selected by primary. and in spite of the fact that the successors of this committee will De named by q convention. Still. a fight in the convention is expected on the present committee, and the Satur- day conference is expected to map out a plan of some sort for this fight.
 IL IS possible the conference will LOOK into the kind of resolutions that ought to be passed by the convention as well as consider the advisabiIity of selecting in advance the chairman of the convention, together with some of the important committees. It is taken for granted in this that MT. Corners friends will control the Convention.
 Still, the membership of the conven- ton at selected in the various counties. was not made up on the question as to whether the delegate was or was not a Conner man. The convention Is in real, ity jDdlcfaI convention. selected for the purpose of naming Judicial candi- dates and in the main without refer ence to the gubernatoriaI fight. The conference Saturday may determine that the Conner men should control the convention, and that the program of the Conner people should be carried through. This. of course, does not ap ply to the Judiical nominations. for the primary has practically finished wIth them.
 Still, all that can be said as to the scope of the conference is surmise, for but little is definitely known of 1t. It is only known that a number of Mir. Co., mer's friends have been invited to a conference preceding the State Con vention.
 There has been some talk that Judge Terry Richardson of Montgomery. might be the Temporary Chairman of the Con- vention. The Temporary Chairman Is selected by the State Executive Com mittee, And there has been some talk that the Permanent Chairman might be Captain Frank s. White of Birmingham, the trusted political adviser of MT. Co., mer. The convention elects it's own chairman.
