in East Alabama, but in Sumter county 1t means the name of the chief political leader. although he is content himself to remain for the present in private life. Judge l.. H. Reynolds of Chiffon, who will probably be reelected to his pres ent job of probate judge, was there and a contributor. We can not overlook the person of Hon. J. F. Jones of Conecuh, who has more experience in running than any man in South Alabama, and who is still young and untried. If the peo- pie appreciated MT. Jones at his full worth he could have been solicitor, or state senator some time ago.
 In admiring the sterling honesty Of Editor c. Ernest Jones of the Clio Free Press, an active participant in the confer ence, 1t does no harm to remember that he was an elector on the last ticket and an unsuccessful applicant for the place of census supervisor of the Third district. Prominent In the list of contributors there appears the name of Hon. Hugh Wilson of the board of convivt inspectors, who, of course, has the right to be an appli- cant for his place under the governor to be selected next year. Senator Nat Mll- Ter was there and his contribution will do no harm either to the political future of himself or his brother, both holding office at present.
 Some More of Them.
 The name of R. P. Roach of Mobile will recall to the people of that county the gossip of his probable candidacy for solicitor on the prohibition ticket Men ton Is made in the lists of two men active in the work who are probate judges in their counties and who, beyond doubt will be candidates next year. I refer to Hon. G. s. Livingston of Autau- ga and Hon. J. c. Kumpe of Lawrence. is al of the governor, member of the board of trustees of the Montevalo school. It would not be invidious to mention the names of two prominent applicants for the appointment of associate justice of the supreme court, Hon. T. E. Knight of Hale and Hon. w. R. Walker of Lime stone. While the other applicants do not figure in the proceedings, known as prominent supporters of the amendment are Senator Give Reid of Covington, Senator J. w.. Strother of Tallapoosa and Representative Sam Will John of Jefferson. Each voted in the legislature for the amendment and for every prohi- btion bill offered. Is B. T. Glider, men, toned in the list, the same as the judge of Marengo county court of law and equity and who was recently appointed by Governor Conner? Montgomery county is represented by our fellow-citizen w.. A. Henderson, who can talk more poli- tics in a day than any other man in Montgomery county, who was a candi- date for senate in the last primary, and who is being prominently mentioned for sheriff of Montgomery county, for which office he was an applicant for Governor Corners appointement few months ago. Hon. N. D. Godbold, who represents Will cox county on one of the committees, is an announced candidate for senator from his district and Judge S. w. Forman of St. Clair. on the same committee, will no doubt make his usual race for pro- bate judge of the county.
 So numerous were members of the leg islature that it is difficult to keep track of all of them. But in addi- | tion to those mentioned the lists con- I tained the names Senator B. A. For | rester Representatives H. B. Urqu- hart of Jefferson, A. D. Kirby of Madi- ] son, prospective candidate for sheriff. Robert Scale of Sumter and Eugene Bal ' lard of Autauga.
