10 MAKE SELECTION SATURDAY

The Montgomery county situation, win reference to the election to i'll the vacancy in the Legislature. caused by the resignation of Representative R Tyler Goodwin. and the possible vacancy if State Senator Charles B.. Teaeley should resign. did not develop d change yesterday. Hon. Charles B. TeasIey returned from Mobile Nyester- day but said he had not had time to rive the matter close attention and could not say, therefore, whether he would resign.
 His friends predict, however. that Senator Teasiey will resign. They are satisfied as well as he, that his ser vice in the extra session of the Legis- 1ature will be good and proper, pro- vfded the Governor sets the date for the work to be done before August l.. He will qualify for his office of tax collector of Montgomery on July l, but his actual term does not begin until ja month later. MT. Teasley said he Heels bound to determine on his course tor action by Wednesday next, so that lfhe proclamation of the Governor rela- itive to Montgomery county can be : a1nendei.. so as to elect a successor. The prospective candidates for the Senate in the event of MT. Teasley's resignation are mentioned a little more persietently than on. the first day. A. H. Arlington, the well known young latforney, is one of the strong rumors, lwhfle in opposition is mentioned M. B. sHoughfon, the prominent farmer and capitalist. There Is also some talk of the place being sought by Walter Bras men and chief clerk of the State De- partinent of Health.
 For the office of Representative, the only candidates so far mentioned, are Alderman James & Parrish and Frank Etollenwerck. Jr. These young men are exerting their efforts to claim a majority of the County Democratic 1t seems will be the agency to nomi- nate the successful fellow.
 ChairAian George W. Jones. of this rommtttee. was seen yesterday relative E0 the approaching election, ordered Friday by the Governor. He said that he was hurrying to communicate with all or a majority of the committee, with a view of ascertaining their sasashcs in the matter. He said he Thought he would have an announce Enenf to make in the early part of this week He will issue a caIi of the com mittee. and some half dozen members of the committee interviewed by The Advertiser representative revealed Nhat Eaturfiay next, win witness the meet gng Of the committee. They will most Btlxely on that day agree on a nominee fo so on the ticket June 19. the date of the election in the nine counties men. ktoned by the Governor in his call to 1flI vacancies
 The idea of a primary has been abandoned. There, are two reasons Nt is believed that there is too little efrne to caai a primary, as 1t would re- qrtre more notice and other conditions before 1t would be legal. Then, too. if would be impractical because of the heavy expense that would attach. to the race. The job at stake fs of too snort duration to spand something like Yb0O. that 1t is estimated it would take &o make the fight
 Moreover, the election law seems to require that there should be, but ona nominee under the emblem of a single party. This would seem to preclude the possibility of more than one man to represent the Democratic party If there should be a free-for-all race that candidate who, in the Democratic ranks. would refuse to abide bv Che mandate of the committee, could rnn hs an Independent. So, 1t is pretty certain that the comniittee's selection VIII be the winner in the election next month. IVY
