Johnson Will Probably
 Carry Montgomery County

County Senator was not popular in this County. No candidate had so much active opposition as Senator Lusk At a number of the polling places several men stood about aud urged the incom- ing voter whatever he did not to vote for Senator Lusk.
 This active opposition beyond doubt affected the vote of Judge J. NJ Chill ton. This was Judge chilton's home County and his friends thought that he was due the unanimous vote of the County, if for no other reason than that he was universally considered one of the ablest men in the race and one most qualified for a seat on the Su- preme bench.
 But some of the active friends of other candidates started the report that Judge Chiffon was not well enough known in other sections of the State to be one of the winners and that if Senator Lusk was defeated he would have to be defeated by other candi- dates. The supporters of Judge Strnp- son, Judge Mayfield and Judge Alston all wore a confident air as if there candidate would certainly be- the man who would lead Senator Lusk, Of course a majority of the voters of the county refused to be led aside from their support of Judge Chiffon by any argument, but some of those who be- ueyed that Senator Lusk had shown eninity to Montgomery County in the Senate sacrificed their preference In the hope of voting for the two men who defeated the. Marshal County Sen ator. F.
 One of the most interesting reports circulated about the polls was the statement that Governor Conner had followed up his work for Senator Lusk by. taking antiactive hand in the pri- mary in Birmingham for his. friend from Marsflal. On hearing this. the friends of the other candidates were spurred up to renewed efforts.
 The County. contests which attracted most of the attention were the free for-alf. for membership on the Board of Revenue, Treasurer and Tax Assessor. The candidates were all well repre- sented at the polls and the prospective voter had not only to receive cards but he had to listen to arguments as to why each candidate should be support ed. <.
 On the last day the wou1d-be cont stables and Justices of the Peace had a lively time: The fights for these places were some of the hottest con- tests about the polls. Tn Beat no man offered for Justice of the Peace until the polls opened yesterday. There fore no names were printed On the tickets. At the last hour a contest was sprung In Ward T. between J.. c. Aber- crombie of the Highland Park end of the Ward and J M. Motion of the Cloverdale end. Each voter had to write in the name of his candidate for this office.
 There was no disorder whatever at the polls. The crowds that gathered were active but good natured and po- lIttcal arguments between supporters of opposing candidates were barred.
 At noon Chairman George W. Jones of the County Democratic Executive Committee. toured the city polling places. to find If any hutch had occurred and if the supply of blank tickets was holding out. Thf clerks and managers were treated with cigars to break the monotony of election day.

The watchers on both sides were very energetic and the officers exacted the strictest com pliance with all the details of the law where any question was raised.

CHICAGO GIRLS IDEA OF MODEL
 HUSBAND.


 Her Novel Description Wins Prise For
 Answer to Leap Year Question. Chicago Special.
 An omaha newspaper asked its un- married women readers the following question: "If you were to exercise your leap-year privileges what kind of a man would you propose to?" An astonishing number Of replies were re- ceiyed. and it is noteworthy that in A majority of the cases the man de- scribed has yet to be born. The prize offered for the best answer went to Miss Myrtle Bascom, of No. S3S La Sale street, this city.
 Here are some of the qualifications of Miss Bascom's ideal man:
 He must be good meal ticket pro- ducer.
 He must be able to swear when the occa sion demands 1t.
 He must not stay out too many nights in the week. But he would not be forced to tell where he had
 He must be old enough to know what life is He can't learn this too young.
 He must have a face that will at tract dogs and babies. Beauty is no object.
 He must have just money enough to know where the next meal is com ing from, and not enough so that he can live without working.
 He must be an American and a gentleman. Foreign noblemen and Americans of the Thaw class need not apply.
 This ideal is patterned after James Dahlmann, the Cowboy Mayor" of Omaha. But 1t is not him she wants. for "Jim" has been married for some time.
 Miss Bascom, who is a pretty blonde of about-well. she says she is past eighteen--explained why she would choose such a man. She does not want the Mayor, for she does not believe in taking a man from his wife. but she does believe that another man just like him would be very fit com panion for her.
 Cowboy Mayor Her Ideal.
 Jim has been my ideal man for many years" she said as she sat m her cozy bachelor girl apartments He Is of the honest, frank American type. That is the kind for me. don't want any man with titles. one just like I think the Mayor Is would be better than a fellow with an un' pronouncable name and a bunch oi debts"
 When she was asked why she in. serted the provision that man could use Dig D, as she termed IT, snt said that she believed there were times when it was almost Justifiable
 Besides that" she added. T would not try to lay down the law to man whom was proposing to. Women generally make the mistake of telling thelr husbands what they shall do That is what causes so many. many divorces.
 Man and wife should live together and each keep in their own sphere | If a man tried to tell me what to do and 1t was none of his business, might hit him over the head with {

skillet. And he could hit me, too. if l mixed up in his business"
 Miss Bascom does not think that beauty should enter into a marriage contract It is all the same whatever the parties look like if they are suited with each other, she says.
 'T can always tell a nice man when see him going along the street. If a dog jumps up to lick his hand and babies cling to him when he takes them in his arms then he is my kind" she explained.
 Wife seekers will find no favor by trying for the hand of Miss Bascon. She will pick out her man when she finds one. The man who comes after her will get the cold shouider-unless. But she has never seen that man yet. she says.

 Eight out of nine Representatives from Alabama and Senator Bankhead have all along believed that the Democ- racy of Alabama favored the nomina- ton of Mir. Bryan. We have kept in touch with the people and know their sentiments Their expression in to- days primary is decided, healthful and foretells the victory for Bryan in No- vember.

 The Democrats are going to nght insolent corporate aggrandisement predatory wealth. the trust magnates and the tariff robbers, under the lead ership of a man-Mr. Bryan-whose ability. courage honesty and faith are beyond question. s.af.
 Let the Democrats cease quarreling and victory Is ours The country needs the rule of the Democratic party. The rascals, and the representatives of the rascals, must and will be turned out.
 Mir. Heffin had this comment to make:
 "I knew that Mir. Bryan would carry the State. You know the primary plan rave every Democrat the opportunity to express his choice and this is as MT. Bryan would have it everywhere Tn this way we can test his strength among the rank and file of the party. and all men who knew anything about the political situation at this time will admit that he is stronger among tho masses than he has ever been,
 He has won in Alabama and he will he nominated for President, and you may say that we will elect him Presi' dent of the United States. and that we will carry the next House. This is our | year to win. Democratic victory is in the air." Alfred J. stoieh
