MAYOR RUN AGAIN.
CANDIDACY OF w. M. TEAGUE IS
 BEING RUMORED.
Chief Executive Refuses to Make FOr- maI Announcement Of Intention No Opposition at Preseno
 in Sight.

Municipal politics had new awak- ening yesterday when 1t was unofficfai- ly reported that Mayor W. M. Teague would be a candidate for the nomina- tion to succeed himself as Mayor of Montgomery.
 MT. Teague stated last night he was unwilling to make a formal announce ment of his candidacy at present. though it is assured that his name will be on the ballots in the primary election in April.
 At present MT. Teague is the only known candidate for the mayoralty. The race. however, has not begun. and the present executive may have oppo- sition.
 It is expected there will be many candidates for positions in the City Council. Announcements of the as- pirants have not been made, but pre- liminary work is being done by each of them. Alderman Gunter and Coins of the First Ward, Aldermen Foster and Lobman of the Third. and Alder men Tait and Griffith of the Fifth. so rumor has it, will be opposed, but their opponents names have not yet been published.

GOSSIP OF HOUSE COMMITTEES
 AND WHO WILL GET THE PLUlNS

This same gossip has 1t that he was of fered the chairmanship on capitol buildings and grounds. and that he de- clined it. This Is the committee of which he was chairman four years ago Another rumor has 1t that Mir. Good wyn had accepted that chairmanship.
 Perhaps the most positive gossip out about the coming committee appoint ments, is the report that Representa- tive o. c. Maner, of Montgomery. will be made chairman of the committee on commerce and common carriers. This is committee which will have lof of work to do, and which will be con- siderably in the public eye during the legislative session. MT. Maner was an original supporter of MT. Martin, and he gets one of the fine chairman ships, If reports be true.
 Representative J. J. Arnold. of Cal houn, who was at one time candi- date for Speaker, and who withdrew when he found the administration would insist upon MT. Martin for Speaker, will in all probability be giv- en the chairmanship of the committee on education. In the last House four years ago, Mir. Arnold was chairman of this same committee.
 Speaker Martin. it Is understood, will not announce his committees until next Monday The personnel of some of them is not yet completed, and in many instances the chairmen probably have not been selected.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-01-10

Representative Sam Will John of Jeff ferson county, will, in all probability. be placed at the head of the judiciary committee of the House. This seems to be the consensus of opinion all though reliable gossip as to the House committees Is hard to get at this june ture.
 But 1t is generally agreed that the Jefferson county man will be given this committee, conceded to be one of the most important in the entire list It Is said further that another important chairmanship, that of the committee on local legislation, will go to Jefferson, and that Representative L.. J. Haley of that delegation, will be the one to draw the plum.
 That is big job for any member, especially one from Jefferson county, which will have so much legislation before the two Houses. It might be said that in legislative circles. it is understood the Jefferson county dele gation. which is by far the largest county delegation, always divides on and fusses over its local legislation. It remains to be seen whether the pres ent delegation will or will not be an exception to that rule
 An interesting piece of gossip Is to the effect that Representative Tyler Goodwyn of Montgomery, who made an unsuccessful fight for the speakership. will not be chairman of any committee.

 Another feature was the escape of M Garcin, the owner of the mills. who was carried concealed in sack on the back of a faithful servant through the bowling mob of men who were seek ing him with the avowed intention of having his life.
 The servant was recognized but once and when hailed by group of strik- CTS. who asked what he carried, he re- piled it was bag of beans" and thus Garcin passed through the mob and was later taken to the barracks of the soldiers where he has since remained.
