 His endeavor. Mir. Tomiinson said last night. is like that of officers of the Executive Committee. to obtain for the Demecratic ticket candidate for every position of delegates and cleo tors. It is not his purpose to put out Bryan ticket or Johnson ticket, but merely full quota of Democrats who will have the voting strength of the party in Alabama wl1exner in the prs- mary they are instructed for the one or the other of the two most promin- inent candidates for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency.

 The city council of Birmingham Wednesday night will pass upon a similar ordinance as to whether Avon dale shall come in at once. It is also understood that the city council or Birmingham will consider resolutions taking in Graymont. North Birming- ham, Elyton. Woodlawu. East Lake, North Haven. and a large strip, of ter ritory between Fountain Heights and Village Creek This strip embraces Enen Ridge and a special election will have to be held similar to the one by which the people living in the un- incorporated territory just annexed held some time ago.
 The new territory already annexed takes in the Sloss furnaces. Rugby Heights, the Country Club. Mountain Terrace. the Southern railway shops and part Of Gate City.
