 politicians in Cullman and other places that the allegations made in the contest are true and that erookedness can be legally charged up to the officers of the election in Winston county in sev- erai other counts besides those mentioned in the contest papers filed by MT. St. John, and which, if true, and the vote correctly counted, would seat MT. St. John by a good-sized majority. It Is believed that the senate will and should act favorably to the democratic contest ant in it's decision in the matter.
 Should the contest be decided against St. John and in favor of Sloan, he would be the only republican in all Alabama in the state senate, and, as a matter of course, the Third district would have to remain utterly void of any local leg islation in so far as the senate Is con- cerned because it is known that re- publican senator would scarcely be able to make a motion to adjourn, even, much less to introduce Q bill and get it passed A democratic congressman, and especial ly in the south, could scarcely be recog- nized on the floor of the house by the speaker
 
 follows:
 l. That illegal votes were given to the said James B. Sloan in said election for the office of state senat2r for the Third senatorial district. which, if taken from i'm, will reduce the number of legal votes given to said James B. Sloan to or be- low the number of legal votes given to tho contestant, Finis E. St. John, for the said office.
 2 That fraud corruption, intimidation and other malconduct. was practiced by a number of the inspectors. markers and other officers and persons in holding said election in the county of Winston in said senatorial district.
 3. That at said election persons who were not qualified legal voters entitled to vote at said election were allowed by the officers and managers to vote in said election in the county of Winston for the said James B. Sloan for said office.

 Opposition to the naval programme for the annual addition of two battleships to the navy may be expected, but it probably will not be effective in the ap- preaching session.
 The forest reservation bill occupies a favorable position and probably will be- come law It passed the House and a day for vote on it by the Senate has been fixed.
 The ship subsidy bill is the unfinished business in the Senate, but some of the democrats say even now that any effora to pass it would result In an extra ses- sion They are ready to talk it to death This bill is also expected to be present ed to the House for a vote during the session and its chances there are doubt full. The measure has only passed the House and been once defeated by that body the majority being small In both instances. There are enough republicans to pass the bill if they can be prevailed upon to accept 1t as a party measure.

Reapportionment Task

The present Congress will be asked to provide for reapportionment of the House of Representatives to conform to the developments of the thirteenth cen sus, and any measure with that end in view is liable to become the subject of sharp controversy. Actually, there is not much chance for party advantage In the apportionment, but 1t always Is assumed that there is, and the demo- crats will contend for the postponement of this legislation until the beginning of the Sixty-second Congress.
 It Is not expected now that the mone- tary commission will report during the approaching session, but there is some pressure on It to do so If report should be made and an effort under taken to enact any new law affecting the currency, 1t would lead to prolonged de- bate and probably failure, owing to the limited time If for no other reason. Any suggestion of central bank at this time would be bitterly antagonized
 Many members are speculating as to the status of insurgent republicans dur able change in the attitude of the stall warts toward this faction of the party. Generally there seems to be a tendency toward accepting the result at the polls as an expression of sentiment in the direction of progressive action, although some of the defeated members of the old guard combat this idea and attribute the oyerturn Of the republican House to Landslide" with the variety of mean ing attached to that expression.

IT is up to the voters of Arizona to decide whether we get statehood. They have the positive word of Governor Sloan, who has just re- turned from the National Capital, where he interviewed the president and leading democrats and repub- lican senators, and they informed him that Arizona would 'ever be ad mitted to statehood under the constitution adopted by the late convention. A great many of the voters of Arizona believe in the principles of the initiative, the ref erendum and the recall, but they want to see statehood for Arizona first, and then, if the people at large want the recall measure adopted as part of the constitu- tion of the new state, put the mat ter before them and let them decide.

THE NEWS wishes to state that so far as the recall" applies to judges, we can see no reason why they should be exempt. A judge is no better than any other elective officer. and many are great deal worse.

The constitution can be changed to suit the people after we get the great boom of statehood.
