REPUBLICAN, COMMITTEE.

 Meeting.

MeeftmHs
 Birmingham, July 6.- Especial J. The call for the meeting of the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Republican Party in Alabama was issued thls morning, the date of the meeting being July 24, and the place this city
 The call reads as follows
 Birmingham, Ala. July 6. 1906.
 Sir-A meeting of the Republican State Committee Is hereby called to meet in the city of Birmingham. Ala. on July 24, 1906. at noon.
 (Signed) J. o. Thompson.
 Chairman.
 l. Steele. Sec.
 While the call does not state the object of the meeting, 1t Is known that the most important matter to be taken up is the calling of the State Conven- tion, and 1t Is believed that this will be done for as early a date as the rule requiring thirty days notice will allow A full attendance is looked for.
 The convention and possibly the meeting of the Executive Committee will probably offer some interesting de- velopments. Th@;s are two factions in the party who might be termed the ad- ministration followers and the anti-ad- mtnistration. So far as can be learned both sides are united in the desire for the party to put out a full State ticket III the next electlon. however, there will be most decided differences of opinion as to the men who shall be named on the ticket and also as to the next State and district chairmen
 Julius Davidson of Birmingham is making an active canvass for the State chairmanship. and while no official an rouncen.ent has been made it is thought that J. Q. Thompson, the present in- cumbsnt, will be the choice of the ad- element, or rather will be continued, as there is no vacancy, Mir. Thompson having been elected before for four years.

FOR his removal from office; nor need
Ie be. apparently. for IL is a self-ap-
pointed committee OF i've citizens
only who make the petition. But
among the charges is one that he
cannot well AFFORD to ignore that his
delay and remissness in prosecuting
he insurance and certain traction
monopoly cases are due to the recep-
tiOn from those interests of large
contributions to his campaign fund
for reelection. Even some Of Mr..
