OPPOSE JUDGE BILL
TEAsLEY MEASURE WILL PROBA
 BLY BE FOUGHT OVER.
Senator LuHix Intimates Intention to contest Proposed Law to Make Court Magistrates Elective
 --AMectm the Senate.

The brief appearance of the bill to make the judges of the City Court of Montgomery elective in the Senate, yesterday, was long enough to indi- cate there would be some sort of fight on the measure before it finally passed the Senate.
 Senator Teasley called the bill and wanted 1t passed as a local measure. But Senator Lusk objected. and In his remarks he intimated he proposed to fight the bill. The bill Is before the Senate with a favorable report from the Judiciary Committee. It will De recalled that W. H. Thomas associate judge of the court, appeared before the committee and opposed the meas ure.
 The bill provides the associate fudge of the court shall be elected at the general election of 1908, while the judge of the court shall be elected In 1914. Judge A. D. Sayre is at present judge of the court. and the Governor will undoubtedly appoint him. Judge Thomas will be elected associate judge of the court by the Senate without opposition.
 Under the terms of the bill, the tetrm of Judge Thomas will expire next year, while the term of Judge sayre will run several years longer.
 It was thought the bill would pass without difficulty when 1t had been endorsed by the committee, but Sena- tor Lusk yesterday. objecting to con- sideration of the bill said:
 'It is not a local measure, but one affecting the Jurisdiction of the Sem ate. expect to have something to say on this bill which. as I under stand it, lengthens the term of one judge several years and shortens the term of another a couple of years"
 The bill will be reached at its reg uIar place on the calendar in the next two or three days.

NEWS OF RAILROADS
FIomaton Yard Extension.

Roadmaster Shields of the Mobile ana Montgomery division of tho Louis vile and Nashville Railroad, spent yesterday morning fin the city on bus mess for his division. Mir. Shields says the estimates are all in and ev- erything ready to begin work on the improvements in the yards at Fiona ton.
 The bushes has increased to such an extent in the past few months that additional yard room at Fiomaton IS absolutely necessary There will be built in the yards at that place seven additional tracks, with room for 800 additional cars. This will, 1t Is thought, be adequate for some time, though an unusually large business Is handled there.
 The Pensacola and Atlantic division of the Louisville and Nashville begins at that point. and that, with the reg ular local business of the Mobile and Montgomery division, makes traffic very heavy. Mir. Shields says all the work on the North Montgomery yards has been completed. Twenty-Five ad- ditional tracks have been put in, and the yards now embrace something over half a mile.

and $50 in cash. belonging to The De- nopolis Times Company was stolen from MT. Ely's safe at the Southern Grocery Company.
 Local politics continues at white heat. There are two full tickets Tn the field and the friends of each side are doing the work of their lives. The campaign managers on both sides claim to know exactly what their re- spective majorities will be, for they have figured all that out long ago. Their figures fiuctuate at times, but each side claims a safe majority all the time.
 There has been an attempt to pull the question of municipal ownership of electric lights into the campaign, but 1t Is claimed that 1t cannot be taken up by the incoming administration. as the franchise granted to the Demopo- lis Electric Light and Power Compa- ny does not expire until 1912. and so long as reasonably satisfactory service l is given by this company, it is not believed that any mayor and council would Jump the contract"
 Figured down to facts, the present campaign, which has been and is the hottest ever seen in Demopolis. is nothing more nor less than friendly contest and the principal contest Is
  the more conservative politicians say the majority will be very small.
 The disposition to pay poll tax has been without parallel, and it is said that not less than one hundred per cent. or the voters of Demopolis pre- 'cinct have paid their poll tax. The tickets are as follows:
 For Mayor--N. c. winn.
 For Councilmen-w. S. Prout, w. H. welch, Y. B. Braswell. R. F. AL len; Jr.. Louis, Folda and McGrath. For City Attorney--B. c. Wilson. For City Tax Collector and Assessor --L. Cornish.
 For Marshal and Chief of Police H. A. Monnier.
 For City Democratic Executive Conn mittee--twalter Griffith and Jacob Bley.
 The other ticket is about the same. as to the minor offices. Otherwise 1t is as follows:
 For Mayor--J. B. Meriwether.
 For City Attorney-B. F. Fillmore.

Whatever may be the outcome OF
the present situation touching the
election OF United States senator
TO succeed Senator Alger, the fact
should not be forgotten that individ
uals have only such claims to con-
sideration as directly relate to the
interests of the entire state.
It It due to the repub-
lican party OF Michigan that the
election OF senator shall be ac-
complished through such means as
will bear full and open investigation
The Republicans oof Michigan alsc
believe in fair play and equal oppor-
tunity to all. The use Of deceit and
midnight methods are not less open
to public disapproval than the
employment OF any other illegiti.
mate influences. 1t is not half so
important whom the legislature
may elect as that the election shall
be fairly and properly accomplished.
That much is asked OF the represen.
tatives at Lansing by the Republi.
cans Of Michigan, and they will not
be satisfied with less than such q
result.

Governor Warmers message,
which by reason ofshis illness was
presented to the legislature last
Thursday by his private secretary,
included not only comprehensive
review OF the recent happenings in
state affairs as related to legislative
and executive action, but contains
several important recommendations.
Among others was recommends
tion that the legislature should pro-
vide for two cent fares on all rail-
roads in the lower peninsula. ex-
cept few independent lines earn
ing less than 81, 900 a mile, and three
cents mile on all upper peninsula
lines. That a binding twine plant
be established 10 the state prison at
Jackson, that the payment OF prim.
airy school amounts should be limited
to 50. so for each pupil, the remain
der to 20 to the state educational
institutions, and that the railroad
car shortage situation be investi-
gated, are other important recon-
mendations made by Governor
Warner. twill probably be found
that the governor has well inter-
preted Legislative willingness and
popular desire.
