pELEeArEs AND ELECTORS.

Tn less than two weeks the Demo- cratic voters of Alabama will be cali- ed upon to vote as to their choice be- tween wm J. Bryan and John A. John son for Democratic nomination for President Under the plan alopted by the State Committee voters have sim ply to place a mark opposite their choice and for the one receiving the highest vote cast the delegates elected are thereby instructed to vote at Den yer. This would seem to be as fair for one as the other-at least as fair as can be secured under the primary plan of voting direct for delegates.
 The time in which canvass for Gov ernor Johnson can be made is nec- essarily short. as up to last week everything apparently indicated that there would be no opposition to MT. Bryan. In spite of this. however, the friends of Mr.. Bryan have been active in every county in the State. and fine organization has been perfected. Those who favor Governor Johnson, there fore. will not have the time. to can vass or organize to the extent that has been done for Mir. Bryan. That he will receive good number of votes. however, will hardly be denied. It will from present appearances be much larger than the public at this time one as the nominee will be warmly supported by the Democrats of Ala bama.
 For delegates to Denver there are seven for the State at large, from whom four are to be chosen. For some weeks there seems to have been some sort of movement by which the only four who were until last week an- nounced, viz, Messrs. John W. Tom iinson, Henry D. Clayton, Thos. J. Hefiin and E. W. Booker were being endorsed by meetings in various To- CdllIleb. It may HdfC OOCh oSSANSAANN%A but it wore 8 prepared look which ex- cited more or less of comment With the announcement of pr. R. M. Cum bingham, Frank S. Moody and Osceola Kyle 8 different outlook was at once created and no one now can tell what the result will be. The three last named gentlemen have hosts of friends and are greatly admired throughout the State.
 From the districts there will be a full number of candidates for delegates on the ticket-in most cases only two, the required number.
 There ought not to be any doubt in any mans mind as to the result for electors at large. Two of the candi- dates. Hon. Emmett o'Neal of Florence. and Mfr. John c. Pugh of Birmingham, are well worthy of the enthusiastic support of the people. They are able men and would worthily represent Ala bama in the State Electoral College. They are the type of men from which such highly honorable positions as Presidential elector should be filled The other candidate. J. A. Rountree is not in any particular entitled, to such honored distinction and it is amazing that he should have offered for 1t. For reasons that ought to. be pretty well known to the State he is l not suitable for the place and he ought to be overwhelmingly defeated.

BLOWS UP THE CHAMPS.

yet arise where he will be called upon to run. The indications in the House at the end of this week are that those who supposed the cold receptioS Of the message meant Congress would ig- nore the President misread the courage of the Representatives.
 The Presidents enemies declare, with grave faces, that he Is still candi- date; that he, regrets the progress Sec retary Taft has made and that he would like nothing better than to run again and throw down the gage or battle to the Senators who, are sheer ing at his policies and openly opposing him.
 This is, perhaps, a great injustice to the President, but it is a fact that he still receives at the White House. on terms of friendly intimacy. Senator Jacob Bourne, of Oregon, the leader Of the second elective term" boomers.
 There are. however. many prominent Republicans in and out of Washington who fail to see any other outcome of the Convention than the nomination of Roosevelt.

The Norfolk Landmark puts the case about as plainly as the language can express it when 1t says:
 Now. we shall put the proposition in a little stronger form and see if any body will dispute it. Listen: Any Democrat has a right to support any nomination as aggressively as any Democrat has a right to support MT. Bryan for the nomination; and any Democrat has a right to oppose MT. Bryan for the nomination as warmly as Mir. Bryan or any other Democrat has a right to oppose other Demo- cratic candidates for that honor. To deny that proposition is to cast the Fundamental principle of Democracy to the winds.
 That Is a point The Advertiser has more than once made, and we have seen in several instances that the rule has not been adhered to by others. Let all Democrats be free to express their preference before the convention as sembles. but without abuse or detrac- ton of other candidates. If Democ- racy means anything 1t means the right of any American citizen to express his sentiments freely and fearlessly. and to give his reasons for the faith that is in him. We accord to all newspa- pers the perfect right to express them selves in favor of the nomination of Mr. Bryan. as we accord them the right to advocate the nomination of another. After the convention 1t will ho different.

 THE ELECTION ;CAsES.-ThiS is the day set for the trial of the cases of. G. H. Carr and Fred Gardiner for the Illegal use of money paid to. workers at the fourth ward polls, and. ok Frank DeSouza for a.'sirnilar employment 1af money at the municipal election "a year ago. The district attorneys of flee had elected to take up the case of DeSouza first. It is not likely that any of the trials will begin today. as Judge Baker, the attorney for Carr and De SOuza is out of the city and will probably, not return before the latter part of the week.

ON THE RAMPAGE

ON THE RAMPAGE.-Yes morning P. K. Hickey hurried into the court of Justice Johnstone and an uonced that his office was being wrecked by a man to whom he had never been formally introduced. Con stable Murphy, who was in the court waiting for something like that to happen accompanied Mir. Hickey to his place of business and found a straJyer sitting among a lot of debris he had created. He had smashed the glass front out of a couple of mineral cabi- Everything else within big radius was disarranged. The man was too drunk to ofer an explanation of his presence and his actions and he was taken to jail. He got more violent aft CT he had ben locked up and the kan garoo court took him ;n hand. He was given cold bath which he resented throughout after it was over. The water had aroused his fighting blood But it is the experience of all men who have ever tried it that it is worse than useless to oppose the kangaroo court Its judgments are rapidly cumulative and no appeal has ever been success full. The experience of this stranger is added to the long and unbroken line of experiences. The man withheld his name. He will be presented to Justice JohnstOne this morning.

FROM BosToN-The folIowin,

FROM BOSTON.-The following from Boston exchange is of inter- est to Phoenix people. as Miss Ridg- ley spent last Iyinter in Phoenix and was a guest at the Hotel Adams The story referred to was first given out in Phoenix and afterwards in Los An geles. The Boston paper says: Who is Miss Elizabeth Sothern Ridgley, an heiress, who says in Los Angeles she is from Boston, reputed to be worth several million dollars, and has con firmed the report of her engagement to wed Baron Rudolph Eustance of Denmark? The blue books, directO- ries, telephone exchange. etc. do not know her.
 VOLUNTEER BERRIES.-W. H. Patrick yesterday brought to the board of trade room a box of the fin est blackberries ever seen in the valley and they were volunteer berries at that Last year the vines produced but little, but this year. the crop was large enough to supply Mir Patrick with all he-needed for family use and more be- sides. One peculiar thing was that the berry had practically no core at all, and few seeds. It's flavor was rich and sweet How the berries got start is not known except from stray seeds which some one must have strewn about without thought of reap ing such results. The notion that ber- ries may not be successfully grown right here in the city, falls into the litter and rubbish, among other ideas which are being proved nothing but the rankest kind of error
 WILL BUILD HOUSES-By the first of next month ten new houses ranging in cost of construction from $25O0 to S4OOO will be well under way in Evergreen Place A company of artisans, including plasterers, plumber. bricklayer and others has been formed to build these houses, some of them to be used by the builders and others for rent The aggregate improvements, including the cost of the lots. will make the places total in value over $5O,000. The de- mand for houses is active for this time of the year. Two houses that will not be finished for two weeks yet are already spoken for and the realty offices, report a steady stream of inquiries for desirable cottages for rent. furnished and unfurnished. It augurs one of the most stirring healthy booms this fall that the city has known, in the minds of many business men.

Redewill, according to custom, will have something to say about Phoenix and the Salt river valley, entirely dis associated from the piano business and the subject of music. He will tell about the Roosevelt dam, the climate, the schools, the churches and the in- creasing value of property and alto gether about the .desirableness of this community as a place of residence or investment. The convention will be in session more than a week and every day will be marked by banquet.

Rights Of People Violated.
"In the issuing of the recent injunction

the American Federation of Labor. says:
IF all the labor unions in every con-
gressional district in the United States
would hold meetings and insist on their
representatives in Congress. irrespective
of party affiliations, pledging to vote for
an amendment to the Sherman antitrust
law that will exempt organized labor, 1t
would be good step in the right direc-

we have received considerable ENCOURAGE

power in our own hands, IL We but use IT,

prompt and effective action. To my mind
this Is an opportune time for showing
what We can do, and my advice would
be, whatever we decide to do, to do 1t
promptly. and the desired result will be
obtained"
