 OUT FOR BRYAN
General Sentiment in Favor of tn'' Ncbraskan Is Evidenced at the Gathering of Scribcs at
 Indianapolis.

Bryan for the presidency is expressed by the Democratic editors of the State, who are here in force todaysto at tend the winter meeting Of the ln- diana Democratic Editorial AssOci- ation.

ecutive committee are beginning to arrive in Montgomery today, pre- liminary to the meeting to be held tomorrow to decide on the party primaries and convention. Exclus- i've of the chairman and secretary, there are 45 members of the eXecu- tive committee of Alabama, tcNr from each Of the nine districts ana nine from the state at large.
 As stated in the official call, the purpose of the meeting is to arrange for the state primaries, and to set date for a convention, at which del egates to the national Democratic convention, to be held in Denver, will be selected. The state primar- ies will be called for the election of two supreme court judges. While this is an off year in politics in Ala 'bama, it is expected that there will be several prominent men asking for these positions on the supreme bench. At the last convention, the precedent was set whereby the state officers were to be nominated in pri- mary, although they may be elected in convention, this election, of course, being matter Of form. At the prim aries, too, delegates to the state convention will be elected, the convention to be called by the executive committee.
 From late developments 1t is in dicated that thre will be warm fight in the convention as to wheth- CT or not the Alabama delegation shall be instructed for Mir. Bryan for the presidency. An anti-Bryan movement was set on foot sometime ago in Birmingham by Walter Per cy and other representative citi- zens. The gentlemen identified with this movement will work for anti-Bryan delegates to the state convention, and in case of their cleo tion these anti-Bryan delegates will work in the state convention for an Alabama delegation to the Denver )utlvention instructed against Mr. Bryan.
 However, there was another movement put on foot at the same time in the interest of MT. Bryan, and from reports gathered from nearby communities, Bryan is the prime favorite in Alabama.
 Bryan men are free to predict that if the Alabama delegation to be elected in the state convent on is not instructed for MT. Bryan it will not be instructed for any oth- CT.

"BIG TIM" SULLIVAN'S
 GRET GENEROSITY
As Is His Custom New York Sena- tor Gave Away 5000 Pairs Of S3 Shoes to the Poor in

C., ia miliarly known on the Bowery and among his constituents of the East Side as Big Tim." today distr'but- cd among the poverty-stricken clans of Tammany over 5000 pairs of 8 shoes. Accompanying the foot gear was a pair of heavy woolen stockings for each man. The dis tribution was made by the Timothy D. Sullivan Association, which Is the legal name for Big Tim. Incor- porated. Tickets good for the shoes were given to each of the 5000 men who were the guests of the Big Fellow at his last annual Christmas dinner.
 It is generally understood among the Big Ones lieutenants that the unvary'ng date of the distribution February 6-is the anniversary of some great event in Big Tm's life What that event Is nobody knows but Tin,c.hy, and he refuses to tell. The secret is buried in the big heart of Big Tm," but on the same day every year several thousand of SulMvan's political supporters put on warm pair of new shoes and stockings. Perhaps the Bow cry bums' who share in this gener
 osity don't know that they are help ing their leader keep an ann'ver- sary, but it is certain that they all think of him on that day of days.
