 GIVE OUT STATEMENTS
Large Majorities Are Claimed By the Friends of Both Candidates for Sheriff, J. P, Stiles and
 E. L. Higdon.

In Birmingham, Bessemer, Ensley. Woodlawn and Pratt City the polls will open at o'clock this morning and close at 6 D. m. At all other voting places in the county the polls will open at o'clock and close at o'clock.
 Every precaution has been taken by the county and city officials to enforce strict order during the day and though much feeling is manifested by partsans of both sides in the race for sheriff. no serious trouble is anticipated.
 All the saloons in the county have been closed since Saturday night, and will remain closed until tomorrow morn- ing.
 Busy Scenes.
 Campaign headquarters of the respective candidates have been the scenes of great activity for the past several weeks and yesterday was perhaps the busiest day during the entire campaign.
 Chairman Robert N. Bell of the coun- ty democratic campaign committee, one Ol lllt OuSicSl llcu III bllIHlilBhdHi, Wdo cheerful and seemed confident of the re- suit of today's balloting.
 He said: q feel more confident than ever before during the campaign that Judge J. P. Stiles will win in the race for sheriff of Jefferson county by a large majority. Indeed I feel sure that his majority will not fall under 200O in the county. If the people turn out to the polls and vote, then the entire democrat ic ticket is safe. A full vote is all we need.
 The claims that Stiles supporters have gone over to the Higdon side is absurd and groundless. On the other hand, we can count hundreds who have come to the support of Judge Stiles. have no fear of the result of the balloting tomorrow and feel confident that Judge Stiles will be elected sheriff of Jefferson county with majority of 2OOo.'
 Kinds Peevey Talks.
 Hinds Peevey manager for Col. E. L.. Higdon, said: we are ready for the peo- pie of Jefferson county to act and decide the matter of the contest for the office of Jefferson county between Judge Stiles and Colonel IIigdon.
 q am confident that Colonel Higdon's majority over Judge Stiles in the voting tomorrow will be more than 25OO. The peo- ple of this county have been aroused as never before. and will act independently of all coercive methods at the polls. The democrats of the county feel that they have had unfair treatment at the hands of the party organization and by their votes tomorrow will express their disap- proval of such partisan methods as adopt ed in the recent campaign by the county executive committee.
 q doubt if Judge Stiles is able to carry half dozen precincts in the county and will not be in the least surprised if Colo mel Higdon carries all of them."
