I. Fl. MILLER MAY
 RUN FOR SENATE
Well-knowm Attorney Says He Has
 Not Vet Reached Definite Decision.

There was . report in political circles yesterday to the effect that Judge John Hearst Miller will be candidate for the state senate from Jefferson.
 T have not reached any determination" stated Judge Miller when asked concern ing the report. T have seldom figured in politics, as Is known. However, many of my friends have urged me to offer. l cannot tell as yet"
 In case Judge Miller does enter the field 1t Is generally believed that he will be formidable candidate. He is con- sidered very astute politician, and his auocess in managing the campaign in Jef- ferson county against the prohibition amendment stamped him as one thor oughly familiar with the ground and it's conditions.
 Judge Miller was strong factor in labolishing the open saloons from Jeffer- kon county, and, as stated, when an ehqCt was made to put prohibition in the cpEiztitution he not only halted. but took 4ction against that effort The prohibi- stion amendment was defeated in Jeffer- son. as is remembered, by vote prac- tically as large as that by which prohibi- tion was successful.
 Others mentioned as probable candi- dates for the senate are Jers c. King, yohn T. Glover and Walker Percy. NeithsT has announced as yet.

POLITICIANS GET
 READY FOR TRIP State Committee Meets Week
 from Tomorrow TALK ABOUT CONVENTION Many Party Men Think 1t Would Be We'll to Bring the Leaders To-
 eether to Adopt a
 Platform.

Politicians from every corner of the state are preparing for a little trip to Montgomery
 They are going to attend the meeting Of the state democratic executive com mittee scheduled for tomorrow week. January "A
 Although there will be differences of opinion on several matters 1t is not thought by politicians that there will be a lack of harmony.
 A strong effort will be made to have the primary in April rather than in August and the majority and plurality plan will have adherents desiring to car ry their point and the day.
 But after these matters are settled perfect harmony is expected to prevail and there Is now no doubt that a convention of the party will be called.
 The desire for the convention has be- come rampant On account of recent differences many leaders have reached the conclusion that there must be an other party platform. The convention. too, will elect members of the new state committee. The gathering will occur after the primary VI zen democracy. hay ing fought its battle, win prepare to elect its nominee
 The ensuing week is expected to bring developments. It is thought probable that Charles Henderson, president of tho railroad commission, will state publicly next week whether or not he will be a candidate. It is said that strong pres sure is being brought to bear on him to announce. And 1t ts true that an ef- fort Is being maSe to prevent his an- nouncement for the gubernatorial nom nation in this campaign.
 When MT. Henderson reaches a deter imitation the entries, It is conceded, will be closed. H. 2. D. Mallory, Walter D. Seed and Samuel D. Weakley will be the entrie1 from the camp of those who fought for a prohibition amendment to the constitution. Unless MT. Hendcr- son announces 1t is practically certain that Col Emmet O'Neal will be tho only entry from the camp of the de lenders of the constitution.
 Another probable development of the week is the announcement of the cam paign manager of Colonel ONeal It is about determined that he win open headquarters in Birmingham, but not until much later if the primary is called for August It is understood, too, that prominent man of Birmingham will manage his campaign.
 Colonel O'neal spent yesterday in the city, leaving last night To spend Sun day with his family in Florence. He announces satisfaction with conditions as they are today. "I have just returned from trips to Montgomery and Mobile stated he, .'and there is reason why I should feel encouraged over the out look"
