Senator N. L. Miller Of Birmingham
will assist and probably lead fight
against the continuance In office of
Secretary J. A. Kyle Of the state Senate
during the extra session. While II IL
not authoritatively stated. II IL never
theless regarded as true that Lieu
tenant Governor Henry 3. Gray will
sympathize with the fight against Mr..

senator Henry Reese of Dallas and
several other senators will stand by
Mr.. Kyle In the fight. Paul savage, a
well known young man of Birming-
ham, 10 q candidate for the place. 1t

mfr, Assistant secretary or Senate,
will make the race In case vacancy
Is declared.
j. A. Estes and Gardner GOODWIN,
leading citizens of Bessemer, reached
the city last night to make the fight
for the new county with Bessemer as
Its county seat. They will probably
stay in Montgomery through the ses-
sion. Reinforcements from Bessemer
will also come down at various times.
Bessemer proposes to fight II out along
that line II II takes all the summer.
Representative II. b. UrQuhart. ac-
companied by Stewart Brooks OF Mobile
came with the Commission form of
government for cities bill. and the bill
will be one Of the first introduced at
the session Tuesday morning. Mr..
Urquhart's original bill has been re-
drawn in the light of the recent COM
mission conference held in Montgom-
cry. The new bill will be gone over
at another conference, to be held this
morning by representatives from
Montgomery. Birmingham and Mobile.
Secretary ]. A. Kyle reached the
city yesterday morning. He had moth
ing to say on the coming fight against
his continuance In the office Of Secre-
tary Of the Senate. He said that he
understood that such fight would be
made. He had heard that one or two
OF the Senators had written letters to
other Senators In reference to the mat
ter. He had nothing to say for publ
cation, however. Mr.. Kyle was met by
a number of friends who expressed
their sympathy for him in the pro-
posed contest and offered any help they
might give.
Senator e. H. Glenn. of Russell was
among the early arrivals. He said
that he was not especially interested
in any of the impending fights. but
that he would be In his seat to vote
on all the matters which came before
the Senate.
Changes In the personnel Of the
Senate will necessitate certain changes
In committee work. For instance q
| vacancy exists In the chairmanship
of the Judiciary Committee. one OF
the most important committees of the
Senate. This was caused by the APP
| pointment OF Senator Lusk to place
on the railroad commission. The next
man on the committee Is Senator N. L
Miller. who. although ne Ia chairman
of the Committee of Finance ami Taxa
ton. will succeed to the chatrmanship
Of the judiciary Committee.
The death of Senator o. o. Bayles
leaves vacant the Craftsmanship OF the
Committee on Revision OF the Laws.
The second man on that committee u
Senator w. T. Lowe of Morgan. who
will undoubtedly move up to the COM
mittee craftsmanship.
