 May Be Detained.

Mobile. July s.--(SpeciaL)-Pr ly at s;so o'clock this evening the stan officers of the list regiment infantry. Alabama National Guard. assembled at the Union Station and within a few minutes thereafter were en route for chickamauga Park. where they will arrive early tomorrow afternoon. Be- fore leaving. Col R. B. duMont ex- pressed his entire satisfaction as to the manner in which the company com manders of his regiment had prepared Tor camp, and the expeditions way In which the company stores had been shipped out of this city today.
 At midnight tomorrow the Mobile battalion, under command of Major John D. Hagan, will leave this city, and 1t is estimated that the four com panies will have strength of at least 2so men. The dificulties over the change of the encampment date have been overcome, and, to the credit of be said that there is not a single in- cident recorded where. there was an difficulty in having the leave of ab- sence of any military man rearranged so as to meet the dificulty the State authorities were under, because of the trouble in Birmingham.
 There is q grave question fin the minds Of many of the officers as to whether their commands will return to this city within ten days, because of the uncertainty of the trouble in the mining district They figure that un. der the last orders issued from Mont gomery some portion of the infantry will have to relieve the cavalry and artillery now on duty in Birmingham should the strike continue. but there is no possipie means Of telling which bat. talion will be selected for this purpose by the AdJutant-General. It is because of this uncertainty that the military men of this city are not guaranteeing when they will return Y

TO NOTIFY
 MIR. BRYAN Chairman Clayton Calls His Committee. NOTIFICATION AUGUST t2TH Convention Chairman Talks of the
 Situation. Greatly Pleased at the Strength Dis- played by the Democratic Tieket--He Declares That
 All Indications Are For
 Democratic Victory.

Congressman Henry D. Clayton, of the Third Alabama District. who was Chairman of the Democratic National Convention at Denver. in Montgomery last night announced that the Com mittee on Notification of Mir. Bryan would meet in Lincoln at noon of August 12 and that MT. Bryan would be formally notified of his nomination during the afternoon of that day.
 Mr. Clayton was returning home from Colorado. Since the adjournment of the convention he has spent a short vacation at Colorado Springs. He still has a cold which he acquired while the lively convention was in session.
 They furnished me with an an- nuncfator to shout out my rulings said MT. Clayton. "and while he was no doubt a good man I preferred to rely on my own voice. My voice held out until the closing hour of this convention, which was the most en- tbusiastic ever witnessed. But in the closing hours I began to get hoarse. At times the convention hall was hot and stihing. After trying to keep the convention in order I went out in the air bathed in precipitation to cool of. I acquired a cold by that act and am only now beginning to get rid of It."
 In your stay at Colorado Springs. did you find much sentiment for MT. Bryan" Mir. Clayton was asked.
 sAssuredly. He's going to win" was 1he reply. "I was astonished at the great strength that I found. for the Democratic ticket in the West. The party is in excellent condition to make . fight. MT. Bryau's popularity Is stronger than 1t ever was before. The platform is one of the best ever drawn by the party, a platform which has again reunited Democracy. In this year the Democratic party ia better united, better solidified than 1t has been in years. This Is Democratic year, tell you.
 cor course, we expected Mir. Bryan to be strong in the West. His strength west of the Mississippi was what we confidently looked for. But the Dem ocFaftc leaders have been agreeabiy surprised at the splendid reports that haave come from the East as we'll. I have just been talking with some friends who have been in the East for several weeks and the reports they bring of Democratic sentiment in that section of the country are most graitfy- ing"
 Mir. Clayton will deliver the speech of notification to Mr. Bryan. Ills part in the ceremony will be the same as that taken yesterday by Senator War ner of Missouri in notifying William H Taft of his nomination by the Re- publican National Convention. As per- manent chairman of the Democratic Convention. Mfr. Clayton became chair man of the Committee on Notification, and he will deliver the formal address to MT. Bryan on the afternoon of Au- gust 12.
 Mir. Clayton will go to his home fin Eufanla this morning.

 Corrupt Practices at Elections.
 ''of next importance in destroying the power of selfish special interests antt the corrupt political bosses whom they control Is to wrest from their hands their main weapon, the corrup- lion fraud. We demand severe and stringent legislation against all forms ot corrupt practices at elections and advocate prohibiting the use of any money at elections except for meet ings, literature and the necessary trav- cling expenses of candidates. BId- ding for votes. the Republican and Democratic candidates are making an outery about publicity of contribu- tions. although both the Republican and Democratic parties have for years consistently blocked every effort to pass corrupt practice act.

 We demand honest conduct of pub He ohices and business like and eco- nomical administration of public af- Iairs and we condemn the gross ex- trayagance of Federal administration ana It's appalling annual increase in appropriations.
 
 We condemn the evil of over-capi- taiization. Modern industrial condi- tions make the corporation and stock company necessity but over-capitali- zafion in corporations is as harmful and criminal as Is personal dishon- esty in an individual. Compelling the payment of dividends upon great sums that have never been invested, upon masses of watered stock not justifed by the property. ver-eapitalization prevents the better wages. the better public service and Ahe lower cost that should arise from American inventive genius and that wide organization which is replacing costly individual competition. The collapse of dishon- estly inflated enterprises robs invest DTS, closes banks, destroys confidence and engenders panics. The Independ- ence Party advocates as primary ne- cessity for sounder business conditions and improved public service the enact ment of law, State and National, to prevent watering of stock, dishonest issues of bonds and other forms of cor poration frauds.
 s"The independence party believes that the distribution of wealth Is as important as the creation of wealth and indorses those organizations among farmers and workers which tend to bring about a just distribution of wealth through good wages for workers and good prices for farmers and which protect the employees and the consumer through equality of price for labor and for product. And we favor such legislation as will remove them from the operation of the Sher- man antitrust law.
 we indorse the eight hour work day, favor It's application tc all gov ernment employees and demand the enactment of laws requiring that all work done for the government whether Federal or State and whether done di- rectly or indirectly through contractors or subcontractors, shall he done on an eight hour basis.
