BUT THIRTEEN DAYS :. ID D|SPE[ APATHY Candidates to Centralize Fight
 in Jefferson WEEK WILL BE LIVELY John A. Rogers Will Speak for O'Neal in Bessemer Tonight and Colonel Mallory VIII Speak There
 Friday Night
WEEK WILL BE LIVELY

The candidates now have only 13 more days before the state primary, and two Of those are Sundays.
 The storm is gathering in all diree- tions and will center in Birmingham for the finals, with practically every eandi- date grubbing for the vote of Jefferson county.
 The voters of this county are receiving them with little enthusiasm, and less in- terest is being shown than in any other county of the state. Montgomery set the example in the beginning with mass meeting for Colonel O'Neal, when every seat in an immense theatre was filled from the orchestra to the gallery. Hous- ton county gave him such a crowd that the men on the outskirts could not hear a word. Walker county turned out a large crowd for Colonel Mallory in a rain storm.
 The country people are aroused over this campaign, and the speakers come in every day with reports of immense crowds, who gathere even in the rain and travel D and 30 miles in wagons to hear the issues presented.
 Mobile is preparing something unique. Next Monday, the 25th, when Colonel O'Neal speaks in that city, they will give him an old-time torchlight parade, in which it is expected that thousands will participate.
 It will be the day before the opening of the reunion, and special trains will carry the voters of Clarke. Baldwin. Choctaw, Escambia. Monroe and other adjacent counties to Mobile for the prade.
 Committes have been busy for the past month preparing to make it the greatest procession since the night of Clevelands first election. Marshals have been ap- pointed. Cavalry, infantry and bands will participate.
 But there will be plenty of activity on the part of the candidates in this county. Tonight the voters of Bessemer will hear John A. Rogers of Sumter, in the in- terest of Colonel O'Neal. Tomorrow night he will address the Young Mems Good Government club at Magnolia hall. Be- sides full attendance of the club mem- bers, the meeting is expected to draw a large crowd, for MT. Rogers is known to De Oue OI lHt IlloSl kliltU SpcdhtlS III tHc state. Friday night Colonel Mallory will address a mass meeting in Bessemer. The Mallory club of West End will meet at the Odd Fellows hall at o'clock to- night when John Morgan Burns will de. liver the principle address.
 These last days will see all three of the candidates for the United States Senaae active before the people. This will be especially true of Capt. Frank S. White. who yesterday announced that R. E. Col lins would manage his campaign in this county, with W. c. Agee, vice chairman and S. P. Sturgeon secretary. MT. Col lins has seldom entered politics. but he is well known in the county, and is consid- cred one of the best men Captain White could have selected to carry his home county
 It is announced that P. G. Bowman will speak at Dora Saturday, April 23, instead of Friday. April 2S, as formerly an- nounced. He will speak at Carbon Hill Saturday afternoon and at Dora in the evening.
