RUMoR SAYS GOVERNOR WANTS DELEGATES OPPOSED TO lN- PREFERENCE OF FEDERAL COURTS.

Is Governor B. B. Conner a candidate for delegate at large from Alabama to the national convention of the democratic party?
 The friends of the governor in Bir- mingham say that he is not, but that he would not decline were 1t considered nec- essary that he serve.
 While the governor is not in Birming- ham, he is stated to be in favor of four influential citizens representing the state at large who had positive convictions. and would strive that their convictions be written in the national platform.
 This attitude of the governor was the ground for interesting political gossip yesterday to the effect that while the anti-Bryan candidates would not be nu- merous when the election time rolls around, there will be candidates openly in favor of carrying the fight against fed eral interference in state affairs to the national convention.
 When he introduced William Jennings Bryan in Birmingham Thursday, the gov ernor was not reticent in stating his be- lief that there should be law prevent ing the enjoiniug of a state statute by a federal judge before that statute has been given a fair trial. and MT Bryan announced himself in favor of the same principles
 The friends of the governor and the measures for which he stands are in power in the state democratic committee, which meets February 2. It is confidently believed by democrats in Birmingham that at the meeting of this body some &C., ton towards injecting the railroad prob lem in the election of delegates to the state convention, and the appointment of a. delegation from Alabama to the na- tional convention, will be taken.

They point to the fact that while at one end of the state, Mobile, Sunday baseball will be played during the ensuing season, in Birmingham, at the other extremity, "blue laws" predominate They also point to Georgia where Sunday baseball is tabooed, but where Sunday golf is the popular amusement
 The members of card clubs, it is report ed, are i'll at ease. Since Sheriff Higdon's deputy will report to the grand jury two members of the Country club who matched for dinners amounting to 90 cents, and since the sheriff, himself, has said that he would arrest any persons matching for car fare, the ladies are fear full that it will be construed as a viola tion of the anti-gambling laws to play whist for books, pictures and other prizes.
