FINAL WEEK
 TO BE LIVELY Ginger Injected into Con gressional Campaign. CANDIDATES ARE AT WORK The Dent-Lawrence Controversy
 Arouses Interest. Vote of the District win Be From 10000 to 12,5oo-Montgomery
 County wIu Poll From
 $500 to 4.O00.

The final week of the campaign for the Democratic nomination Tor Con gress from the Second Congressionai District is on and from now until Sat- urday. the day of the primary. the race which opened dull and without interest, is expected to be warm and exciting. In the past two or three days an unexpected amount of ginger has been injected into the campaign
 In Montgomery at least the Congress sional race and the arrafgnment by Candidate S. H. Dent of Rev. Boooks Lawrence, superintendent of the Ala bama Anti-Saloon League, was the chief subject of conversation The joint speaking by Messrs. William H. Sanford and Thomas H. Hall at But Ter Springs was the liveliest thing of It's kind since the campaign began. Friends of both candidates expressed themselves as satisfied with the incl dent. Mir. Sanford is pursuing an ac- tive and vigorous campaign. Ee Is covering practically the entire district, and his friends are hard at work.
 Mir. Hall is allowing no grass to grow under his feet Outside of great deal of work in speaking. he has been quite busy with a large core spondence from various parts of the district. A great many of these let ters are requests for speaking appoint ments.
 Some of Mfr. Dents friends claim that his campaign committee is about to work him to death, with three or four appointments for him every day. MT. Dent expects to speak in Montgom- cry Wednesday or Thursday. when he will again take up the Brooks Law renee circular. This announcement is expected to fill his headquarters in Montgomery. when he delivers some thing like the caustic address he spoke at La Pine.
 Colonel Charles R. Bricken, with due regard to his intereJt. is conduct ing an active speaking tour. He has appeared in the larger towns of the district and he will continue until he has spoken at every place of import ance fin the Second.
 A. c. Sanders of Pike is also actively at work on the stump. He expects to deliver two or more addresses in Mont gomery County during the week.
 Estimates of the vote that will be boiled range from 5000 to 12,50o. There Is no certain way of gauging 1t. Montgomery County will, of course, cast the largest vote of any county in the district. In the primaries of May IS, the county cast vote of approxi. mately 4.000. It is hardly probable that so many votes will be cast in the primary of Saturday, but welI-informed politicians say that recent develop ments in the race have aroused ! great interest in Montgomery County and that 1t may poll very nearly it's full vote.
 The one thing certain is that the last will be the 1iveliest week of the race. There was more talk on the streets of Montgomery yesterday of the Congressional race than there has oeeh at any time since 1t was started.

FISH RATES
 ARE HEARD Express Company Prays For Increases. PENSACOLA RAISED A KICK Florida Port Says Mobile Has a Big
 Advantage. Nice ouestion is InveIved as to whether Commission Is Guilty
 es Interstate Resu-

The Alabama Railroad Commission devoted the major portion of its hear Ing yesterday to the Mobile fish rates of the Southern Express Company. Be- fore this question is finally disposed of. the members of the Commission may spend lot of time in individual Investigation.
 The problem of adjusting the fish scale of rates for Alabama seems in- serwoven with the fuss which Pensa- cola Is making with the Southern Ex- press Company before the Interstate Commerce Commission. At least that ss what Counsel Robert c. Alston of Atlanta, speaking for the Southern Express Company. intimated in his ar Eument yesterday afternoon.
 The Pensacola shippers of fish have complained to the Interstate Commerce Commission that the rates from that point to Alabama territory are too high They cite Mobile as their prfn- cipal competing point. They set out comparison of the scale of express rates on fish from the two cities and claisn that Mobile has the distinct ad- vantage in this territory.
 Now comes the Southern Express company to the Alabama Railroad Commission with the complaint that the existing rates from Mobile to Ala nana points are too low. They allege that the scale is not compensatory. They are asking. therefore. that the Commission order a readjustment of rates so that the company will be re- warded reasonably for the service per- formed in the haul of fish. The rates now in effect were made by the Ala barna Commission. in accordance with an act of the Legislature of last year. conferring Jurisdiction upon that body over the Express Company.
 Charles Loop. vice-President of the Southern Express Company. came to Montgomery to testify in support of the claim of the company. He gave in detail many reasons for higher rates from Mobile. Comparisons were made of the Alabama rates with the scale of fish rates that prevail. in other States. It was contended by Mir. Loop ff1at the Alabama rates are lower than

MIR. Stuart Rebuked

The Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch o.
June II, 1908, says editorially:
'It looks very much as if tb'
endorsement of Judge Rhea's ap.
pointment by the Ninth District
Democrats was a blow to the Cub
ernatorisl aspirations of Mr.,
Stuart, who figured prominently in
connection with the Legislative
hearing upon the confirmation.
"Mr. Stuart was commended by
many of the papers Of the State
for his testimony in the Rhea
hearings, and therefore it does not
seem consistent for the Democrats
of that district to endorse the ap.
pointment of Rhea, and favor the
elevation of Stuart.
"With any division in the Ninth
District Mr.. Stuart could not ap-
peal to the balance of the State
successfully. The question nat.
uraly arises, did the Ninth Dis
txiot Democrats intend to let the
State know that 1t was not for

Democrat in Republican Cabinet

Secretary Taft will step down
from the management of the War
Department, the Panama Canal
Zone and the American isles of
the sea on June 80, and en- that
date will be succeeded as Secretary
of War by Gen. Luke <. Wright
of Tennessee.
General Wright's selection is
significant, because the President
has taken a radical departure in
appointing lifelong Democrat to
q position in the Cabinet of Re-
publican administration. He is
regarded az an ideal man for the
position on account of his char
scter, experience, familiarity with
military problems and wide know
ledge of affairs in the Philippines,
where be served first as Vice
Governor and later as Governor
General.
General Wris bit was an officer
in the Confederate Army, and his
wife was a daughter of Admiral

TAFT AND SHERMAN NAMED
BY REPUBLICANS

William Howard Taft of Ohio
and James Schoolcraft Sherman Of
New York were named by the Re-
publican National Convention in
Chicago last week for President
and Vice. President, respectively
The convention was largely at
tended and at times waves of en-.
thusiasm swept the body. 1t was
a foregone conclusion that tie big
Secretary of War would capture
the nomination for first place on
the ticket and only the formal pro-
cedure of casting the ballots and
counting the majority remained
for the convention. For the second
place on the ticket many names
were suggested, but no definite
man was agreed on in advance.
Mr.. Taft ia recognized by every
body az man of the highest
character, OF clean life and of
generous impulses. He has play
ed an important part in the
worlds work of recent years.
Weighty public duties falling to
his official lot have been performed
with signal intelligence, patriot
Ism and ability. He is the friend
and admirer, perhaps the protege,
of President Roosevelt, and there
fore it is TO be expected that he
will continue the same policies
that have characterized the specta-
cular administration Of President
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft is in the prime of life.
He was born in Cincinnst ii in 1857;
graduated from Yale in 1873, and
from the Cincinnati College of
Law in 1880; appointed assistant
prosecuting attorney Of Hamilton
county in 1881; judge Of the Su-
periol Court of Cincinnati in 1887;
Solicitor General of the United
States in 1890; United States
Judge for the Sixth judicial Cir
cult in 1892; Civil Governor of the
Philippines under American rule
in 1901; succeeded Elihu Root as
Secretary of War in 1904.
The nomination of Mr.. Sherman
enlists the sympathy and support
of the Empire State and was large
ly a matter of sectional instead of
selection. The assertion
has been made that the Demo
OF ats must get New York in order
to win," therefore the Republic
cans, by nominating Mr.. Sherman,
underworld to head off any such
possibility. Whether his nomina'
tion will add strength TO the Re-
publican ticket remains to be
seen. Mr.. Sherman has had twenty
years experience in Congress. He
Is fifty-three years of age, is presi.
dent of a trust company in Utica,
and is director in a number of
banks. He is described as mar
If ability, and belongs to that

,ians az 'fsafe and sane"
