CONTEST FOR OFFICE
SUPREME COURT MUST PASS ON
 ELECTTON
Interpretation of Meaning of COnstitu-' tiOn Necessitated By Dispute In Wilcox COunty-DecisiOn Is
 Appealed.

whether the general selection of No vember 6. 1906. in which Hon. Jonathan N. Stanford was elected Probate Judge Of Wilcox County, was held six months after the death of Hon. James T Beck. sometime judge of the court who died May S. last, is the point on which the Supreme Court will determine the hold CT of the office now tenanted by Hon. J. Fleetwood Foster. appointed by Governor Jelks soon after the death of Judge Beck.
 The case Is one of wide interest be- cause of the men involved. and by req son of an interpretation of the consti- tuition involved.
 Judge Beck then judge of the Pro- bate Court of Wilcox County, died at HOBO p. m. May 6. 1906. few days after his death, Hon. J. Fleetwood Foster was appointed his successor. On November G. 1906 at the general cleo ton. Hon. Jonathan N. Stanford, who had previously been nominated in Democratic primary election, was reg ularly elected to the office. These are the facts of the case and there will he no Issue as to them. The decision will lie in the Interpretation of the constitution. A section of 1t provides that in case of vacancy in the judi ciary, the Governor shall appoint a SuCCtSSOI u lHe ptISOH WnOS6 UedIn or resignation or removal for whatever cause, created the vacancy; ;sand that "the appointee shall hold his office un- til the next general election for any State office held at least six months af- ter the vacancy occurred. and until his successor is elected and qualified" If the Supreme Court decides that at least six months expired after the death of Judge Beck before the hold | Ing of the general election on Novem- Der G. Judge Stanford will be declared the legal tenant of the office. If less than six months have expired, MT. Eos | ter will continue to hold the office which he now occupies under a super
 sedeas bond made at the time of the appeal from the Circuit Court of Will cox County, where Judge B NJ. Miller decided in favor of MT. Stanford. The point Is as regards an election law unique. In commercial law 1t has often been decided and in various ways | The decision hinges upon the counting | of May and November 6 as included
 or excluded from the count of six months.
 The case will be argued before the
 Supreme Court, January 16.

TEXT OF SENATOR BLACKMAN
 SPEECH ON LUSK RESOL LUTON

shall have no right to vote, except in the event of a tie"
 The only authority given the lieu. tenant-governor wherein ke could participate in matters properly coming before the legislative department was pointment of the committees of the Senate was undoubtedly taking an ac- tive part in the affairs of the 1egfsla- tive department; nothing, he declared. tended more to control and influence legislation than the power to appoint the standing committees of the Senate and such other committees as neces- sity demanded from time to time dur ing the deliberations of the Senate.
 It was a concession on the part Of the majority that the minority was ur- doubtedly correct in the views taken by them that the lieutenant-governor, under the Constitution. was not prop CT party to appoint the committees. be- cause 1t was openly stated that what ever appointments were made by the lieutenant-g governor. would subse- quently be ratified by the Senate This being true no necessity existed for de- laying the deliberations of the Senate by consumng a weeks time. in order that the lieutenant-governor might make the appointments
 No Right to Postpone.
 He said IT the senate Dy reason OI the Constitution must ratify and confirm the appointments made by the lieutenant governor then this body should select its own committees and proceed with the work of the Senate, and not meet at 12 o'clock and adjourn frop day to day without accomplishing any of the work for which they were assembled.
 For one. he said, he was willing to vote for any committee named by the closest adherents of the incoming ad- ministration. Four years before he had taken the position that his good friend, the Hon. R. M Cunningham, then lieutenant governor. was not qual- flied, under the Constitution, to make the appointments. and in this view. the lieutenant-governor himself agreed.
 The delay which would be occasioned by the differences on this question would cost the State at least $1,000 per day. He was not posing as re- former, he said. and yet it was appar- ent that this expense was needless and was in direct violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution. which was plain to every one. and the time had passed when the action of the Sen- ate could be legitimately referred to as either the Conner faction or the anti-Comer faction, If. indeed such fac tions existed.

Col. Charles Rattray, the only Union soldier in the Alabama Legislature, has drawn up and will on Tuesday, when the Legislature will reconvene, introduce in the House resolution en- dorsing the action of President Roose- welt in discharging from service of the three companies of negro troops as the result of the rioting at Brownsville.
 The Colonel believes, from his knowl- edge of military law, the President was not only justified from legal stand point in the position he took. but that it was a course inspired by the neces- sities of the occasion.
 The text of the resolution drawn by Representative Rattray for introduction in the House follows:
 Resolved, by this House. the Senate That we unanimously en- dorse the action of President Roosevelt in dismissing the three companies of the 26th Regiment of United States col- ored troops for their acts of outlawry in Brownsville, Texas, which resulted not only in the wounding of defense- less citizens. but murder.
 "Resolved. further. That we believe

said action taken by said President was clearly within. his authority as com mander- in chief of the army and navy of the United States. and the only means he could adopt to cleanse the army from characterization, outlawry and violence, and preserving military dis cipline, and preserving the citizens of the country from violence at the hands of those who should be the protectors of tn ecountry.
 Resolved. further. That we request our Senators and Representatives in Congress assembled to sustain the President in his action, not through any partisan feeling. but, because his action was right and we believe prompt ed solely by a high and worthy patr1- otjsm."
 The fact that Colonel Rattray was born and bred in the North, and served throughout the war between the States as an officer of the 57th Illinois Infant ry, will, it is believed. serve to empha- size among Northern people the view taken by those people of the South who are familiar with the negro prob lem and who have studied the Browns vile incident.
