SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP
FROM THE STATE CAPITOL
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery. January 1.-(Special.)-
While there is a general and persistent
demand from all sections of the state for
an early primary, the prospect is not
bright for it to be held before August,
the reason lying in the fact that most
of the state committee is for the later
time. Asbery Thompson, w. ID. Nestitt
and E. X. Campbell of Jefferson are for
August. Bibb Graves Of Montgomery
takes the same view. and Gov. Il. r.
Conner who selected the membership of
the party organization IN September, 1906.
and chose its chairman about II year ago,
is outspoken for August. The same thing
is true of Chairman 2. B. White So the
chances are, no mater what the people
want, that it is long summer of politica.
agitation.
Position of August Adherents.
The argument put up by the August
date crowd is that 1t is party law: that
with the democratic organization recover
ing from the internal dssentions of the
amendment election, 1t is best to follow
precedent and to avoid wandering in IN
tried paths. These feel apprehension for
the future and contend that it will be the
name and good will of the party In every
way. Besides, they argue. the committee
is the creature of the convention, and
the convention declared for primary III
August. Governor Conner takes 1t that
there ought to be time for discussion. He
refuses to believe that this will iniure
business. Business. he says, that cannot
stand the light of iblic knowledge Is
not best for the people. And 1t is also
argued that to call the primary in the
spring would be to bring on tile CAM
paign when the farmers are busiest.
Line Up for State Pie.

public documents, printed for free distri-
button by the state. with the exception
that those currently issued may be had
from the department of issue. Expense
of shipment or postage must be met by
the person seeking any of the documents
wanted.
In the first press bulletin the director
gives a sketch of the general work of
the department. He tells Of the travelling
libraries in which there are now 10000
books in constant use; of the gallery and
museum, in which there are rare old
relics and valuable paintings of historic
people, of the recent collections in church
history; of the organization of the Ala
