 United democracy is now ready to vote. The campaign practically closed last night. Tomorrow there will he no fight ing except in the close counties, and Tuesday. if the weather is fair, the vote should run over 100000.
 Democratic victory is assured, but much is at Issue in Tuesdays election. It Is the party's stand against the first or gahized effort of the republican party, aided by a large fund obtained. from assessing federal officeholders, to split the democratic vote. Upon the democrat ic vote depends tthe county representa- I ton in the convention which will nomi- rate supreme court judges and select delegates to the national convention. | Upon democrats voting their full strength rests the fate of the county l tickets in at least 19 counties. Emmet l O'Neal will carry every county in the seven of the eight, if not all, the coun- ties in his district. That is the informa- ton which comes in with all the speak CTS, and is gathered from every source at democratic headquarters.
 Republicans in 32 Counties The republicans have full tickets in s2 counties. The hotly contested counties are: Baldwin, in the Second congressional district; Geneva, in the Third; Chilton Shelby and Cleburne in the Fourth; Clay and Randolph in the Fifth; Walker and Fayette in the Sixth DeKalb Cherokee Etowah. St. Clair, Marshall Cullman, Franklin and Winston in the Seventh {, Lawrence and Morgan in the Eighth, and Blount in the Ninth.
 Winston is the only county conceded to be republican, except that Burnett claims he will carry 1t by a few votes From figures at headquarters it is believed that Burnett's majority over M w. Howard in DeKalb will be between 250 and $50; Cherokee, 250 to 350 Etowah, 400; St. Clair, 15O to 200 Marshall $50 to SO; Gull man. 300 to 400; Franklin, 200 to 25O, and both claim Winston.
 Fred Blackmon's majority in the Fourth district will run from 4OO0 to 5000. No other congressional fights are considered seriously.
 Tomorrow's speakings will close the fight. There will be a big meeting at Cullman, where J. F. Stallings. O. W. Underwood and Emil Lesser will speak. At Russellvile F. B. Almon and Joseph Nathan are scheduled. Fred Blackmon 
 ty at Anniston, and R. H. Mangrum, with ". w. Lavender. will speak at Linden, Marengo county.
 Speak With One Voice In many respects this has been a not able campaign. Democrats of all kinds and beliefs have appeared on the plat form and spoken with one voice for the ticket At first, following the primary, it was thought that a campaign would be l unnecessary, but, after a conference of democrats at Blount Springs, where it was shown that the republicans were or ganzed never before in many coun- | ties, the leaders of every belief gave | Chairman Jesse Stallings their time and 1 talents. He managed in short order to | work up a superb organization, and through speakers and circulars has given every county and district just the aid 1t needed.
 1 Colonel ONears speeches have been sent to the four quarters. County chair men, with committeeman in every pre- cinct, have sought out the weak places. Everywhere the doctrine of democratic unity has been preached.
 And foremost among these apostles must be placed Congressman J. Thomas Hef1in and Len H. Grier They have done more toward swinging the Seventh dis trict for Burnett than any other cause. They have been heard up and down the state, and everywhere have been met by large, enthusiastic audiences.
 Among Those on stump But all democratic leaders have done their share. Gov. B. B. Conner, H. s. D.. Mallory, Senators Joseph F. Johnston and J. H. Bankhead, Congressmen IGeorge W. Taylor s. H. Dent, Jr., Henry D., Clayton, J. Thomas Hefin, Richmond Pearson Hobson, John L. Burnett, Will liam Richardson, O. W. Underwood and nominee Fred L. Blackmon have been faithful and effective in their work.
 Every candidate for the legislature with any ability to speak has actively cham pioned the cause, speaking wherever placed. Among the most effective have been W. w. Lavender, Tom Stevens of Mobile, Charles /Sherrod of Morgan, C.. M Brown of Jackson and Thomas Judge of Birmingham.
 w. M. Lackey, Leon McCord and W. W. Brandon have formed team that moved down republican votes wherever they went, and they have stumped half the state.
 Other members of the faithful are Perry Thomas, Walter Seed, Ray Rushton, T.. D. Sanford, Alex Pitts. Judge Joseph Ma than, W. w. Quarles, R H. Mangrum of Selma, L. E. Jeffries of Selma, Alex Troy of Montgomery, c. F. Mitchell of Hamil- ton, Reuben F. Kolb, candidate for agri- culture commissioner; David Grayson of Huntsville, J. N. Grenade of Jasper, J.. F.
