Then Comes State.
 The state primary of the democrats comes May IS. There is lot of interest in it, but nothing like what might be ex- pected Much more interest prevails in the location of high schools than in send ing delegates to Denver True, there is much enthusiasm over the race for su- preme court justice. John A. Lusk of Marshall has the open support of the governor; R. T. Simpson, by reason of drawing game, has been able to serve only four of the six years to which he was elected. and for that reason is asking reelection by democratic prece- dent; Judge Mayfield has just gotten out the new code, said to be one of the best ever issued by any state, and is of the opinion he has something coming to him ill the way of appreciation.
 And There Are Others.
 Then there is Judge A. H. Alston, whose name begins with A." and is in fine posi- ton to catch the voter who does not care much who he votes for. Also John A. Bilbro, who almost made the landing aforetime. Judge J. NJ. Chiffon, Mont gomery's son, is to be reckoned with in the race for the place. He is credited with being one of the best lawyers in the state. So it looks as if there would be, after all, something doing in this race. Some approve the position of the governor in coming out for Lusk, who has been his good friend many years; others do not, saying that 1t is matter out of which he should keep his hands. From the talk heard here one side has about as many adherents as the other
 The Republicans.
 Charles H. Scott said to be deposed as a. republican referee in Alabama is saving a lot of wood and saying lot of nothing the days go by. He said that of the 10 delegates to the national convention, four of them contesting, he would have six with him in action before the main body. Further than that he would say neither yea nor nay. Other conventions of the republicans are set as follows: Second district, April 1, at Bay Minette; Eighth district, March 22, at Decatur. MT. Scott will get the two from the Second pretty sure. It is thought by his friends he will get the two from the Eighth. If he does he will be pretty well heeled when he gets to Chicago.
 Scott Foxy One.
 Though it is said that the powers have crowded MT. Scott out of the family in effect in Alabama, there are many who yet think that when he lands it will be feet solid on the political earth. On the other hand there are those who think that his day has passed as a republican power in the state and that he must take a back seat. Joseph o. Thompson, chair man of the state republican committee. was here this week. He did much of the looking wise and saying nothing business too It is we'll known, however. that Mir Thompson is practically the whole thing SC long as Mir Hitchcock is the Taft leader and the particular care of the Pres ident. But, after all, not many are in terested in republican politics in Alabama
