SOCIALIST NOMINEES
THEY WILL APPEAR ON BALLOT
 NOVEMBER 1
They Are Confined to Presidential Electors And Congressman of Ninth District---BHllOt To Be
 Large One.

By filing yesterday with the. Secre- tary of state a list of nominees Tor presidential and vice presidential elec- tors for the nine Congressional dis tricts of Alabama. officers or the Socialist party in this State have done all that was necessary to insure vot- ing opportunity for members of that political faith. It guarantees that such names as have been furnished the Secretary of State will be by that of- ficial ordered placed on the ballots during the general election next November
 The Socialists had their convention in Birmingham on Independence Day or July 4. 1908, at which the nominees were agreed upon. The emblems of the party had already been filed with the Secretary of State and notice given that the oertifieation of the nominees would be done later.
 The certifying of these nominees makes the fourth party that has quail fled to enter the political field of Ala bama this year. The others are the Democrats. the Republicans. and the Independence party. These latter have furnish ed both emblems and nominees to the Secretary of State. There Is some talk of the Prohibitionists put ting out a ticket. but so far neither the emblem nor the nominees have been made known.
 The fact that at least four parties will have string of names and the re- publicans will have two sets of nomi- nees will make the ballot November 8, the most cumbersome thing of it's kind ever used. It means probably doubling and trebling of the work of the election officers and canvassing boards
 The following is a copy of the paper hA nf by the Secretary of the Socialist party in Alabama. Thomas N. Freeman, of Fairhope:
 ''W. D. Alexander. Birmingham. Ala,
 Secretary State Convention.
 Comrade-The following comrades have accepted the nomination for cleo tors on the Socialist ticket for Debs and Hanford for President and Vice President. They have declared them selves qualified voters:
 First Distriet--c. H. Hutchinson. of Mobile.
 Second pistrict--J. W. Hendrix. of Bay Minette.
 Third District-D. E. Morgan, of Phoenix.
 Fourth DistrIct-o [. BacheIder. of Sterrett.
 Fifth District--A. c. Atkisson. of Woodbine.
 Sixth District--w. F. MeGowan. of York.
 Seventh District--J R. Camp. of Cen ter
 Eighth Distriet--John Phillips. of Decatur.
 Ninth District--F L. Emiel of Besse- per.
 For Congress. Ninth District. ". c. Emeil of Bessemer.
 Yours fraternally,
 Thos. N. Freeman.
 State Secretary"
 The tenets of the Socialists may be said to be compressed into the follow ing paragraph which appears on the papers filed yesterday:
 Socialism means for the working class to organize and capture the powers of government in order to ad- minister the industries in their own interest: to own the machinery and other means of labor collectively. so as to stop the private appropriation of the wealth of the world by the capi- taliSt class"

During the past three or four weeks there may have been turns fin the bill offered at the, Majestic that dragged somewhat, that ruined an otherwise good bill, that made the audience wish to escape. but to find such an act tn the biil this week is an fmpossibfity. It's not there. There Is but one trou- bIe--the entertainment comes to an end within an hour and a half. If there could be another hour added Dy stretching all of the turns just httiet not a better bill could be offered at as, .. vaudeville house in the country.
 Variety ia ever the keynote Of vau- deviiie, and this week there is some thing of everything, and everything 4s Of the highest quality When one turn Is finished the audience wishes It would continue just little longer, put when it's successor has the spot ignt' all former turns are forgotten Tor tne lime being in taking in the news.as Z
 For instance, take the newsboys auartette. If you really want to hear some harmony and enjoy a little fun at inc same time, this is the piece. If you like skits with sparkling comedy, there's von' Mitsel and Maynard; 1T you want music with comedy in the shape of the black face, the Five Musical Browns fill the bill. For originality there's Flo Adler and her little boy singing from the gallery. No matter what you Ike best in vaudeville. it's at the Majestic this week served in the very best quality.
 You can't criticize the turns at all, for the reason nothing but praise can he offered. Mere adjectives used in describing a good thing are usnahy superlRous. The thing has to be seen or heard. This is the case at the Ma jestic this week. where you'll ind nothing but the best.
