: Six days of campaigning remain Tor the Alabama candidates and they VIII be the liveliest of the entire party campaign of 1908. The final vote VIII be taken one week from today, Monday May IS.
 The campaign began mildly and in- ertly. Nobody seemed to care wnicn way the river ran. It is closing wtn more energy and liveliness than any campaign witnessed in Alabama where no Governorship was at stake, for gub. ernatorial races are always hotter and faster than any other kind.
 The greatest stimulant put into the campaign was the announcement oy the friends of Governor John A. John son that his name would be put upon the ticket and that most vigorous sort of a campaign would be waged in his interest. So far they have made Soou that announcement. The friends or Mir. Bryan are convinced that there Is something more than claiming to the Johnson movement and they have set in to head of any possible instric- tions In Alabama for the Minnesota Governor.
 As the lists were closing three prom inent democrats threw consternation into the solid ranks of the four other prominent democrats who had an nounced as candidates for deiegam from the State at large by announcing for Denver honors. As it now stands seven democrats are candidates Tor four places and the ambition of some three gentlemen to go to Denver will meet with a sudden and bitter disap- pointment.

Senator Frank S. Moody makes the same an- uouncement and it is understood that Ex~LAeutenant Governor R. M Cum ningham who has followed the politi- cal fortunes of Mir. Bryan since his first meteor like appearance in nation thing the Democratic Party can do Is to nominate Governor Johnson.
 The other four gentlemen, Henry D, Clayton, J. Thomas Hefiin, E. w. Book CT and John W Tcmlinson are recog- nized friends of MT. Bryan. But what ever the personal preference of the candidates may be they will have to act upon the instructions given them in primary.
 Next in the Presidential issues in- volved in the campaign is the race for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. There are only two places to fill with six candidates to fill them. The candidates come from every sec tion of the State. They are Judge John M. Chiffon. of Montgomery, Judge A. H. Alston. of Barbour, Judge J. j.. Mayheld of Tuscaloosa, Judge R. T. Simpson. of Laud erdale. now q member of the Supreme Court. Judge J. A. Bill bro, of Etowah and Senator John A. Lusk, of Marshal
