The only fight has been in the Seventh district. outside of the contests in a few counties. and 1t looks as if Con- gressman Burnett is going to put c. E. Kennemore to rout as he has his other opponents in the past.
 Only two of the congressman have op- position, Wiley in the Soceond and Bur nett ill tho Seventh. Taylor, Clayton, lief lin. Richardson and Underwood go back without a fight. Craig will take the place voluntarily resigned by Bowie in the Fourth, and Hobson will have the seat so long held by Bankhead in the Sixth, hav- ing beaten him in the primary. Otherwise the delegation will be about the same as last year, there being no chance, it is thought of iether Wiley or Burnett being disturbed
