The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-07-08

0enator Banlrhcad will be formally elec- ted and at which he VIII deliver his speech of acceptance.
 In a11 probability no caucus of any 6ort will be held At present there is nos$opposition except that represented In an announcement by Former Con gressman T. F. stallings. MT. stallings wrote to the members of the Legisla- lure announcing his candidacy and~kp- forming them that he would communi- cate with them later at greater length He has not however, written his sec ond letter. In the hotel lobby last night 1t was regarded as very improb- able that Mr. stallings' name would so before the Legislature at all
 The tive Houses will begin immed- 1Skely holding night sessions. When they adjourned the aules called Tor nieht sessions and they will do business under the same rules. Moreover. there 1s more necessity for night sessions H than there was in the winter time.
 Ehs Legislature will probably not havo more than two or three working 6ave during the week. The committees will need time and 1t will be given them.
 0ovsrnor B. B. Conner and Lieuten- ant-3oyernor H. B. Gray. reached the city last night. The governor is pre- paring q message to the Legislature. M the message, so 1t is stated, but the u1ajor portion of the document is pre- oared and is being revised by the chier executive. It Is understood that In this document, the governor will set before the solons information concerning the xntunctions taken out against the rail road legislation adopted at the first r,ertinn of the split session of the legis- lature and 1t is believed that there wlil be some caustlc statements made. He will review, so it is understood, the situation to date, telling of the suits taken in the federal court and eise- where by the railroads against the laws snactad by the Legislature
 On Immigration Laws.
 The Governor will probably ask for fho repeal of the immigration laws. 1t ts understood that since the Federal Govsrnment has adopted laws which forbid States sending immigration axents to other countries for any other purposes than for advertising purposes, { that the Governor does not believe that the law recently enecated in behalf or inducing foreign labor to this State would be of any purpose. It will be remembered that just 8 few weeks since ths immigration agent of the State, Ar. de Hell, returned from trip to Germany and Belgium and that he
  sirable foreigners, many Of whom are now working an ore mines in the Bir" rnfngham district. This labor, 1t is reported Is giving satisfaction. Under the new Federal laws such another trip could not be made. The Governor Will explain at length. it is further understood, why Alabama was not rep- resented at the Jamestown Exposition with an exhibit. The time was too short to prepare a suitable exhibit It fs set forth. It Is believed that the Governor will insist on the measure which taxes foreign money lending rornoraticris, bill which was adopted at the first session Of the Legislation and which has aroused a storm of indignation in the Commercial Club circles through ouk tbe State. The Governor states that he is preparing message to the Legis1ature but there is no statement as to what this message will contain. Ths document being worked on will give considerable attention to the rail- road question. The chief executive is said not to be in the best frame of nind over the injunctions taken out by that were adopted by the Legislature and he will make known some of his Feelings on the question.
 It is understood that the document will bs quite lengthy. taking up per- haps three or four columns. It is be- 7isved that the Governor will make morae recommendations to the LegiB- 1ature. No intimation is given as to the United States Senatorial situation. n1annise the fact that 1t is known that fhA Governor does not admire Senator Ran khead, it 6 hardly believed that he win recomm snd any~one at all for Ihe position.
 r4,.in.o tha oheervtnR membeps are wrong there will be several jolly rows in the Legislature before the hot weather session is over. They are all looking for a row, and they are figur- sng that the Governor and the Legis- 1ature will be the participants In most of the rows.
 This would seem impossible to any body who watched the last Legislature fn action. The one dominating ques- xion when any bill was under consid- erakfon was, What does the Governor 4hlnk about it?' One or two law-mak- CTS timidly got to their feet and sug- mested that the executive branch was pxo3ectIng itself too far into the other leo-ordtnate branch of the government bsra listened at them impatiently, for suora than likely that the man who avoNId make such a remark had not been a Conner man in the primary. < fWhat the Governor said went and nothing went that he said ought not % go.
 Old politicians were wont to say that they had never since the war seen a Aagiglature that was so ready and willing to carry out the Governor IS slightest wish.
 Now some of the lawmakers are coming back to Montgomery and say Ing that there is going to be change. All political observers agree that there has been some change in public senti- anent, but the people who have stayed 1n Montgomery are slow to believe that ahers has been such revolutionary khange, that the Legislature will break with the Governor.
 Tha returned Legislators say that 1t Ewill certainly be done on two matters Nrst the election of Senator John H. Bankhead. and second, the repeal of 4ha law placing the tax on money Bending companies
 It is agreed now that the Governor has abandoned his fight on Senator Bankhead. It Is agreed that the Gov nrpor and his advisers after the issu- ance of the now famous pronouncia- snento and after a canvass of the Leg crew mum" The Senatorial election Nvfil be no more than a ratification meeting, no matter what the Governor snaw think about it, or how he and
