Chairman Goodwin Makes Important Ruling on
 Matter of Delegates
NO COUNTY BODY HAS
 AS YET BEEN FORMED
Chairman Campbell Could Appoint Such Committee If He Felt That Mir. Underwood's Interest
 Demanded It

Tyler Goodwin of Montgomery, chair man of the state democratic executive committee, upholds the action of the sub committee in charge Of the political cam paign in this county when he makes it plain in a letter to Robert N. Bell, chair man of the democratic executive commit tee of Jefferson county that the only body which could be authorized to file with the sub- committee a group of can ddates to be voted for as a unit would be an Oscar w. Underwood county cam paign committee.
 As there is no such committee in lief ferson county, it is certain that there will be no grouped candidates to be voted for April 1 unless in the meantime F. K. Campbell, chairman of the state cam- paign in the interest of Underwood, ap- points a county campaign committee. Should Mir Campbell have reason to be- lieve that he could best subserve the in- terest of Mir. Underwood by naming such committee for the purpose of filing a group ticket it is pointed out that he could do so after a moments consdera- tion Yesterday afternon in this regard
 The subcommittee of the county execu- tive committee some days ago adopted resolution under the terms of which any man can qualify as candidate for the convention without authority from any existing committee, or from any indi- vidual. Since that time at least half a dozen candidates have qualified. Each of these candidates has signed a statement to the effect that he is heartily in favor of the nomination of MT. Underwood for President.
 The letter of the chairman of the state committee follows:

Underwood Committees Prerogative


 Where there is no bona fide Under wood organization in a county no list Of delegates can be filed to be voted for as a whole Of course, in any county where there is a bona fide Underwood organiza- tion such grouped list of delegates can be filed with you. but it should be through the proper committee or officers of the Underwood organization.
 "Neither the state executive committee no' the county, executive committee has any right or power to name or submit any list of delegates to be voted for as a whole It is very important that this feature of the election be carefully guard ed by the county committee in order that the voters may have a fuil, free and fair expression in the selection of delegates to the state convention
 f"k good many statements have been made in regard to the purpose and intent of the state executive committee, but l desire to assure you as chairman of your county committee that the state execu- tive committee has no other desire than that of giving every democrat in Ala bama full opportunity of expressing his choice at the polls.

Chairman Goodwyn's Letter

Montgomery. February 26, 1912. Hon. Robert N Bell. Chairman Demo-
 cratic Committee Jefferson County, Bir-
 mingham, Ala:
 Dear Sir-As the result of misleading information l find that there is some mis- understanding as to the effect of the state committees action providing for the selection of delegates to the state cGl- vention to be held in Montgomery on April 1T, 1912.
 For your information as chairman of the county committee, I beg to advise that there Is no change in the usual method of selecting delegates except that the. friends ident may group list of delegates to be voted for as n whole. It was necessary. to define the person by whom such list should be filed with you and the state committee specified the presidential cam paign manager in. each county as the proper person to do this work.
 At the time of the adoption of the res olution the committee contemplated that there would probably be several presi- dentia candidates on the ticket. It ap- pears, however, that there will be but one candidate for President. Hon. Oscar w.. Underwood. placed upon the ballot to be voted for. none others having qualified.
 "The chairman of the Underwood state committee has announced through the press that he will not himself appoint a county Underwood manager in any county unless it becomes necessary to protect Underwood's interest, but will leave the matter entirely to the Under- wood organization in each county.
