MALLORY FORCES
 BUSY IN THE SOUTH
Campaign Committee Meets at
 Capital Today
O'NEAL IN WoODLAWN
Will Speak at City Hall Tonight st s O'Clock and VIII Co to Walker County Tomorrow-Some Well
 Known Men Here

A meeting or the Mallory Stale cdiii- paign committee in Montgomery today at noon and a mass meeting of ONeal supporters to hear Colonel O'Neal at Woodlawn will be the events of today.
 Report comes that the Mallory forces are putting in some hard strokes in south Alabama, and the meeting today will out line the policy of extending the campaign to other sections. The speaking at Wood- lawn in the city hall will begin prompt ly at o'clock.
 Tomorrow will be O'Neal day in Walker county with a big rally at Jasper, where MT. ONeal and some of his staunchest friends will make addresses.
 The result of the county elections in Butler Clarke, Montgomery, Lowndes, Jackson, Madison and Dallas counties, where the people have already voted on their county officers, is being analysed by the politicians. In most of these coun- ties the personal fight between the can didates, which has been going on for sev- eral years, was so warm that no other is- sues entered in. This was true in the case of Joe Lacey and Judge Pitts in Dallas In other places there were three or four anti-amendment candidates to only one amender, as in the election of Judge Brown in Montgomery, where his three opponents collectively received twice as many votes as he did. The defeat of a certain element in Dallas will probably work hardships on Colonel Mallory's cause in his home county.
 Frank N. Julian and John A. Lusk, two of the candidates for railroad commis- sioners, blew into town yesterday from different directions. MT. Julian has been making a trip through southeast Ala bama, and says he finds his candidacy in fine shape. Colonel Lusk is one of the busiest candidates in the field.
 Fred L. Blackmon, unopposed candi- date for Congress in the Fourth district, passed through Birmingham on his way home to Anniston from Mobile. 'I find MT. Knox very strong in south Alabama, he said. They are preparing to organize a big vote.'
 It Is understood that Sydney J. Bowie of Birmingham. a former law partner Of MT. Knox, will be his campaign manager, and announcements from Anniston are expected in a few days.
 j. B. Sanford of Sylacauga, Arthur E. Gamble. chairman of the county commit- tee in Butler, and l.. Fl. Nunnalee, chair man of the o'Ne,sl campaign committee in Bibb, were in the city yesterday. All reported that the oNeal strength is grow ing every day. MT. Sanford thought that Meal will carry Sylacauga, although it voted for the amendment. MT. Nunnalee declares that Bibb is unanimous for his candidate
 W D. Nesbit. chairman of the state democratic committee, has issued this statement:
 "The attention of candidates is called to the requirement that they shall pay their assessments and file their applications as candidates for the various offices 70 days prior to May 9 This will close the in- terest after March g.
 "The assessments of all candidates who are to be voted for in one county only are to be paid to the chairman of the county committee.
 Assessments of all other candidates are to be paid to me as chairman of the state committee at Birmingham.
 "The names of all candidates, includ- ing members of the legislature, qualify ing for state offices with the chairman of the county committee should be filed by such chairmen with me as chairman of the state committee not later than March 27.
 "It is unnecessary for the chairman to send me these names as they are filed with them. The total list of their county can be sent at one time, between March 22 and 27.
 "The county committees are to furnish tickets and have printed on them the names of all candidates who are to be voted for in their respective counties only.
 "The state committee will furnish tick cts for all other offices and furnish the election stationary.
 'T would appreciate 1t if the chairmen of these committees, who have not so far sent to me a list of the names and ad- dresses of their committeeman, would do so at once."
