ARE
 FOR MR. RANKHEAD
Senator Norman Gum of
 ThomaSViIIe Talks
EXPECTS NO OPPOSITION
Congressman Wiley Is Also of the Opinion That the Legislature Will Elect Bankhead to the Sen
 ate-other Expressions.

Montgomery, June A.-(Special. )-Sen- ator Norman Gum of Thomasville. who has just returned from a visit to his home, said today that he saw three mem bers of the legislature while away and heard directly from five others, and that every one of the eight is for John H. Bankhead for the senate to succeed the late Senator John T. Morgan. In addi- tion he says, all of the people practically take the view that the legislature is mor- ally bound to vote for Colonel Bankhead for the position. MT. Gum is a Bank head man without regard to the action of the primary, which, however, he thinks, gave expression of the people for the man they wanted for the position. \ T cannot find language too strong to express my condemnation of the alternate senator plan," said Mir. Gunn Tt is one of the most iniquitous propositions l have ever been forced to tangle up with How ever, it was adopted and we accepted 1t and We must abide it's results. l do not believe that the legislature Is morally bound to follow the instruction of the primary with regard to it. that indorse-
 
 can be no question that it was an ex- pression of the will of the people with regard to the man to fill an unexpired term and I am sure we should follow it."
 See No Contest.
 "rhe fact of the business is," said Mir Gum, there does not seem to be any contest on other than that which you Fo1Io not know what will be done, but I had no idea that there will be any opposition to Bankhead. So far as I have heard the people talk they seem to take it for granted that the legislature is going to follow the direction of the primary and give the place to Bankhead I do not think the governor is going to make any fight for any other man. 1 have not talk ed with him about it, but that is my belief. My district and my state expressed choice for Bankhead and l feel that there are going to be few in the end to vote any other way"
 Congressman A. A. Wiley, who has just returned from a trip over his district, the Second, says that the people so far as he could hear would demand the cleo tion of Bankhead. If the legislature should take any other acton," he said, 'I believe that there will be a reckoning the leaders will not hear the last of for many a year. l heard of only one man who did not contend for Bankhead, but did not see him." MT Wiley said that he did not talk with members of the legislature and did not know how they took the situa- tion, but he did believe that the voters were in line with the primary vote and would make demand that it be carried out in the election of John H. Bankhead for the senate.

 I have just read the statement made by Mir John W. Tomlinson, defining his posi- ton on senatorial succession, and I would like to ask few questions, suggested by that statement, and if you will answer them, I will appreciate it.

The Birmingham and Atlanta railroad has been notified to get off the right of way of the Louisville and Nashville rail- road by the first of August. As a conse- quence of this action the Birmingham and Atlantic is grading another line through the southwest portion of the city, and later on will probably use joint terminal with the Atlanta, Birmingham and Att lantic road at the new depot of the latter road situated on East street, north. Just what will he done with the present new depot building of the Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, no one seems to know. The conflict between the Louisville and Nashville and the Birmingham and At lantic has set every one to guessing, so that no one can predict with certainty what will be the next move.

A corps of engineers from the New York office accompanied by Superintendent Woolf of the Electric Power company went out to Jackson shoals this morning, where they propose to spend week run ming lines, and going over the plant. De- cded changes will be made in the present dam, and race, for the purpose of adding to the power. In the opinion of experts from 2500 to 3000-horse power can be gen erated at the dam. Among the probabli- ties Is an electric railway to the shoals. A beautiful park and pleasure ground can be established here, as there is water. trees, mountains and all the necessary adjuncts of an outing place for crowded city on the north side of the stream An electric railroad from here to the shoals and from there to Lincoln and Lock Three on the Coosa river, would pay from the start.

faith in his fellow man still strong. in
spite of what he has learned of the

conclusion that horse and buggy had
been taken by an ordinary thief.

1000 pounds, hitched to an O'Brien top
