THOMPSON IS CONFIDENT,
Birsningham Man Is an Ardent Convert N 10 Taft.

K to TaSt.
 Birmingham. Jan. 1e.---( Especial. )- According to J. O. Thompson. chairman of the State Republican Executive Committes. and referee of the Presi- dent in Alabama. Secretary Taft wiH hardly have any opposition in the Ma tional Republican Convention to be held in Chicago.
 MT. Thompson has been to Wash ington and New York and he admits that politics had much to do with his making the trip. He denies that there Is friction between Charles H. Scott. National Committeeman from this State. and himself.
 Mr. Thompson claims that while in the East he conferred with a number of leaders and that almost all of the rtalk was in reference to the big sec- refary,
 MT. Thompson says that while in Washington he made some inquiry in regard to the confirmation of the ap- pointmAnt of Judge O. R., Hundley to the bench in North Alabama, and while there is some opposition to the con- firmation. he says there ia no doubt he will be confirmed.
 No announcements were made today in regard to a meeting of the State Executive Committee though all in- dications now point to an early gath ertng of that body to prepare. for the canvass for delegates to the National Convention and to provide candidates for Congress.
 A mass meeting called for tomorrow night in Birmingham by Julius Da- vidson, who is a leader of one of the factions, is looked upon more as a local affair though 1t is understood that steps will be taken looking to Congress sional and municipal candidates in ap- preaching elections M
 Republicans in North Alabama are becoming very active as the date of elections draw near.
