on to Montgomery!
 Many have already turned their faces towards the capitol and before the conclusion of the present week the population of the political Mecca will be doubled.
 For in spite of the fact that the leg uary 10 ther is nevertheless much to be accomplished in the present. Fri day J. Lee Long and Judge E. B. Almon, candidates for the speakership, open their headquarters in the EX- change hotel and these gentlemen have large retinues. So much work will be accomplished before the caucus of the democrats Monday night that the race which seems now close and exciting will be determined from a practical standpoint. MT. Long is optimistic and in hls statements does not conoede a possible chance of election to his com petitor. On the other hand, Judge AL mon states that no one has pledges from the majority of the members of the lower house, and the ultimate is- sue will depend on the votes of the other candidates who will not be con sidered after the first ballots.
 Those closest to MT. Long contend that he has 57 votes pledged. In case he can poll this number on the floor his election on the first ballot in as- sured.
 Morrow the Favorife
 At the caucus the speaker will be chosen. The legislature convenes rr. are attended to it is probable that q
 bill will be presented increasing the salary of the governor from $5000 to s750O That this bill will be passed is a practical certainty, for the major. ity of the members of both houses
 have expressed themselves favorable to
 the proposition. As to whether con
 temporaneous steps will be taken look ing ot the construction of mansion
 for the governor is uncertain.
 It is now considered foregone con clusion that Senator Hugh Morrow pf Jefrersona will be chosen president pro
 tenn of the senate According to the best opinion on the first ballot the vote will be close as concerns the gen tleman from Jefferson and Senator Thomas Frazer of Bullock. But after
 the first ballot it is believed that Sem ator Sherrod of Lawrence and Senator Brown of St. Clair will drop out of
 the race and that the strength of these gentlemen will go to Morrow. This will put Jefferson's representative in the chair by q large margin.

 and impregnable position at Bessemer. Went Through Panic
 MT. Baxter weathered the well remem-
 bered panic of 1893 with the Tennesse
 company, when the present governor of
 Alabama, Braxton Bragg Conner, sold the
 company feedstuff on credit until the company could meet its obligations At
 the same time the Adler brothers, we'll known here, sold the company goods
 needed then for pig iron which they re-
 tained until prices went higher
 The activities here of the present pres ident of the Tennessee senate are charged with romantic occasions and with events of historical importance to this district.
 He is lawyer by profession and was born in Columbia. Tenn. in 1S47. His father was a judge in that state for 5 years and he was the fourth son. All of the Baxter boys studied law and oc- citpjed positions of honor in Tennessee.

Senator Morrow has received numerous letters from senators from other sections of t--e county insisting that Ee make the nght for this right. Senator Morrow believes that the president pro tenn will appoint the committees without having to wage a successful con- test.
 Substitute for Prohibition
 As to the first bill of state wide i'm portance that will be considered, there is hardly a doubt, although it has been suggested that the bill providing for commission government for cities should receive early attention. But frs. of all 1t is a practical certainty. W. be bill concerning the tranIc of liquor in the state.
 IL is the intention of the ma ajority of those who have spoken on the subject to endeavor to secure the passage of this bill before any other legislation is attempted. Up to the present time It is evident that no two men have agreed to vote for the same measure. Every man, 1t seems, has his own peculiar scheme, and the fight, it is probable. will be not upon the repeal or mod ification of the present anti-liquor laws. but upon what substitute shall be adopted for them.
 
 present tune, action will be taken with the purpose of permitting the repre- sentatives of the several counties to secure for the counties what the peo- pie of the counties desire. But every one is practically agreed on the folly of submitting the question for the sui frage of the people. It is argued that already there are too many elections in Alabama, and that the ma jority of the people, tired of prohibition and of the failure of prohibition, are perfect ly willing that their representatives act for them.
 Jefferson Delegations Position
 The Jefferson county delegation is agreed ,-.at prohibition has failed. There is not member of the delega- ton which will vote to the contrary. However. the delega tion has not agreed on any certain Dill. Representative Percy has prepared a bil and Repre- sentat.ve Judge has prepared another. Thre idea of senator Morrow has not received the unanimous sanction of the otner members of the delegation buf It Is a certainty that the several mem oers, after a process of giving and taking. will present solid front against the continuing in vogue of a system of prohibition which has proved dismal fanure.
 Just what influence the Alabama Anti Saloon leauge ---'-' '.9 able to exert is unknown. That body will expend it's entire strength on the senate, however. and will ignore whatever action Is taken by the lower house. The general preolction is, however, that the effort of tne ultra-prohibitionists will avail them nothing before the legislature, which soon will come into being
