 Monday.

Decatur, June 13.-(Special )-It Is quite likely that several prominent citizens of the Decaturs will attend the funeral of Senator John T. Morgan, which will be held Saturday at his old home in Selma. The death of Senator Morgan was keen ly felt in the Decaturs and in this DOT ton of the state. He was considered North Alabama man, because he spent his summers at Baily Springs, near Flor ence. During his various candidates for the Senate Senator Morgan always spoke in Decatur and he was always greeted by large audience. The last time he spoke here was during his memorable campaign for the Senate when he was being opposed by Ex-Goy. Joseph F. Johnston. On this occasion many ladies went out to hear him speak. He was a favorite with the ladies and it is doubt less due largely to this fact that he was sc successful in his political under takings.
 While the death of Senator Morgan is greatly regretted by every citizen of North Alabama, still his death has been the cause of TO small stir in the political circles of this section of the state The  that under the primary plan adopted by the democratic party last year that Gov ernor Conner will not have the right to fill the vacancy caused by Senator Nor gan's death, but that the legislature will elect.
 Richardson May Run.
 Should .he question of filling the va cancy be left to the legislature and it should be decided that it is 8 free for all race ID that body North Alabama will doubtless be in the fight to a finish. Many personal friends of Congressman William Richardson's here, are d.sirous of seeing him in the United States Sen ate and while there arc none here who are in authority to speak for Judge Rich ardson, still his warmest friends here say that if it is a free for all race in the legislature for the election of Sen ator Morgan's successor that they arc almost confident that Judge Richardson would be in the race gnd they are also confident that in thls event Judge Rich- ardson's election to the Senate would be almost assured
