jackson worried,
"There is no vacancy in the office of
solicitor of the Eleventh circuit" said
private secretary to the governor today.
please tell the people that for my sake.
I have a bunch of mail coming In about
the appointment of a successor to Solic-
itor w. II. Sawtelle, and If he has re-
signed we are not advised. Yes, | know
it has been reported but 1t has not come
here, and we have no way of telling it
than by the announcement of the man
who holds the office" And that is the
story Mr.. Jackson wanted to tell anu
wanted the people interested to know. If
Mr. Sawtelle has resigned and his friends
want to succeed him, 1t will be well to
have the resignation sent to the office of
the governor, and 1t will be all ready for
him when he gets back from welcoming
Mr.. Bryan back to the United States a
duty he Is just now engaged in perform
ing in the great state of New York.
Mr. Jackson has had a lot of mail in
regard to the Sawtelle place, and he is
anxious to have the matter understood so
that men will not begin to ask for place
that is not yet vacant.
To Elect Treasurer.
The governor has called meeting OF
the board of trustees of the Alabama
Polytechnic institute at Auburn to be held
in his office at noon September 10, to
elect successor to the late treasurer,
Capt. e. T. Glenn, and transact other
business. Miss Alice Glenn, who has been
her fathers helper for many years, has
been appointed to the position until an
election is held 1t is quite likely she will
be given the place permanently.

their visit back to Alabama and her
famous university would be an event long
