Colorado Ciaytons Rejoice In Honors
 of Alabamian.

Denver, July 4-(Special.)-Up in Weld county, Colorado, wild excitement pre- vails. It is all because Clayton is to become permanent chairman of the na- tional convention. State Senator Clayton of Greeley is in town, not looking after lis boom for the chairmanship, for that belongs to Congressman Clayton, but mixing with the big guns from all over the country. He met the Alabama states man for the first time tonight, in the lobby of the Brown. The two traced tho relationship back to Georgia, where the Alabama Claytons originated, and where the Weld county Claytons came from when they emigrated to Colorado. So the upstate people who are rejoicing over the good fortune of State Senator Clayton are not so far wrong. It's all in the family, anyway.

900 votes in the state last year for court of appeals justices. The man. agers expect this year to poll in the aggregate in all the states about 1,000,- 900 votes. If they can make show ing of this kind it is believed by MT. Hearst that the old democratic party will go out of business and that the ln- dependence party will take its place. They figure that this is the right year to finish Bryan as candidate by beat ing him soundly, so that he will not come to the front again.

MEDICAL AID FREE
DIsPENsARY ESTABLISHED IN CITY
 HALL.
Physicians Will Render Services With out Charge to the Poor of City Who are Sick
 or Injured.

Taking one more advanced step in the progress of Southern cities. Mont gomery is to have from this date dis pensary open to the sick and injured poor of the city. The office of the City Physician in the city hall will be trans formed into the regular reauirements of dispensary. There calls for treat ment and diagnosis will be received.
 This will cost the city practically nothing. The services of leading phy- sicians of Montgomery will be contrib uted without charge to the charitable institution. They will alternate in rendering the services. The hours during which such treatment and at- tention will be given are between II and 12 o'clock in the morning and be- tween 2 and 3 o'clock in the after noon.
 The need of a dlspensary in Mont gomery has been long felt and has been in contemplation by the local medical society for several months. But no announcement was to be made until it was sure that everything was in readiness. All plans are now ma ture and medical aid free will be given those really needy who are sick or are injured.
 This will be a boon to the many suf- fering poor of the city who often have to stint themselves merely to subsist and have not wherewith to pay phy- sician's bills
 The dispensary marks the second act of free public service the city has pro- vided within the last week. The first was the opening of night schools four times a week for the accommodation of those who cannot go to the public schools in the day hours. No charges are made for night school education.
 Den member of the City Board of Education said Monday he wished to correct an impression that had gone out about the night schools. He de- clared that under no circumstances would the schools admit children un- der the age of 12 years whom their parents worked during the day. The city board also sat flat down on the proposition to allow teaching in the schools by members of the faculty of the various other schools.

EFFECTS OF VERDICT
PRoLoNGs sENAToRIAL ASTRAL
 TT0Ns or THE GOVERNOR.
Reiectiop of Bienptnl Sessions of Leg islatnre Makes if Impossible for Goverpor to Sptceed Sem
 ator Hnukhead.


 One incident of the disapprovsl by Alabama of biennial sessions of the Legislature IS to change the political calendar of the State. Tn all proba- bility it shuts oft the present Cover nor from running for United States Senbtor. Of course, this relates to the immediate future. In the Legis- lature of 1915 Governor Conner may choose. to run for United states Sen atoF. but certainly not this side of that year
 If the biennial sessians amendment to the Constitution had been carried last Tuesday Governor Conner would have had an opportunity in 1913 to make the race to succeed Senator Bankhead. That year would have marked the first meeting of the Leg islature under, the amendment. Then. ments would have been met by the Governor. He would have been out of the guhernatorial chair more than the constitutional twelve months
 But the biennial sessions having been signaliy defeated, at the polls, there will be no election of Senator Bankheads successor in 1913. It must be at the next assembling of the Leg islature in 1911. There is no evasion of this The teEm of Senator Bank head will have expired before the 1915 session under the quadrennial rule That. of course, would be too late to name Mir BankheAd's successor. It will be time then to name Senator Johnston's successor.
 And here will be the first fair op- portunity the present Governor will have to go to the United States Sen ate unless the death of either MT. Bankhead or MT. Johnston should oc- cur before the expiration, of their terms. Then the vacancy would be filled by the then Governor. But the death must occur after January, 1912, to make MT. Conner eligible for he must in all events have been out of the Governors chair one year to oc- cupy seat in the Federal Senate.
 Whether the alleged aspiratlons of the Governor to go to the Federal Senate will reach over the span of seven years is not known at this date. It has been persistently reported in the past that Governor Conner would like to carry his public career a step forward and go to Washington cloth ed with bigger power. But many things can happen in seven years
 But the fact remains above all things and aspirations for -of1ce-Alabama has said the Legislature of this State and this State alone shall meet but once every four years. others meet once . year or once in two years.
