Probate Judges Of State
 Strong For Underwood
Reply Letters From Judge Stiles Come From All Over Alabama Everyone Containing the Expression That Alabama Should Line Up Behind the House
 Leader and Land the Presidency of
 the United States

The probate judges are unanimous in the expression of their choice of tho candidates for the presidency of the United States.
 They are for Underwood.
 They believe that he is the logical man for the democrats to put before the people. They abhor the idea, once advanced and hastily withdrawn. of a second choice. They are going to work for him.
 Some time ago Judge J. P. Stiles wrote to the other probate judges of the state. mentioning Underwood as an available candidate. Since then he has hired a special clerk for the purpose of opening his mail.
 Some of the probate judges replies follow;
 Probate Judge E. B. Deason of Chill ton county: "The Underwood sentiment is very strong in this part of the coun- try and we all feel that it Is time for a southern mans name to be pre- sented to the national democratic con vention for nomination as President"
 Probate Judge J. E. Camp of Talla- dega county; "I have known Mir. Under- wood for quite a number of years and am very fond of him. I think Ala bama should send a solid delegation to vote for him and no one else"
 Probate Judge A. P. Smith of Greene county: T have known MT. Underwood for several years and know him to be typical southern democrat"
 
 Sure of Ballots
 Probate Judge P. H. Pitts of Dallas county: T feel sure. he will get ev- cry vote in this county; that is, the delegates from this county will be in structed to send an Underwood dele gation to national convention" Probate Judge J. c. Kumps of Law renee county: "I am for Underwood with all my might and shall do all I can to secure for him solid sup port in our county. I have not talked with one yet in our section who is not for him..

Banner Contract

The banner contract of which so much has been said. and for the results of which l feel that would have been more or less responsible, has already made good AL though considerable trouble was encoun- tered in getting started off, which was due mostly to the men being unfamiliar with the improved working conditions the output to date is over 240OO tons for the month Of January. at a cost to the state including maintenance of the men, mine supplies, free labor necessary salaries and all cost and expense of everv nature paid by the state of less than thirty eight (SS) cents per ton.
 In addition to the duty of supervising the state convict mines I have been re- quired to do the purchasing of food, mine supplies, etc, used by the convicts employed in mines. On July T. 1911, I mailed you a statement showing a saving to the state of s4905 per year as a result of reduced cost due to increased efficiency of coal used under the boilers at Speie- ners, reduced cost of ammunition by change of quality and buying in carload lots, adjustment of waste in oil, mine sup plies, etc, regulation of fresh meat supply by disallowing practice by dealers of furnishing most convenient amount tv them, and in excess of the requirements, and change in the method of shipments Some time since at your request ana as result of complaints having been made regarding the method used in the purchasing of supplies used by state con- victs employed in mines, MT. H. F. Sed- berry, associate examiner of public ec- counts, was assigned to this district with instructions to investigate these charge. and complaints His report shows, com pared with the previous administration. a saving of s17,121 per year in the purchase or food alone, and a saving of $5l9,716 per year in total maintenance

Huckabee's Letter

January 27. 1912. Hon J. G. Oakley President Convict
 Bureau, Montgomery, Ala.
 Dear Sir-Having been officially notified by you that the governor has decided that the office of state mine superintendent is unnecessary and can be abolished without serious curtail- ment of the efficiency of the convict department, and that he has notified you to discontinue this office, l feel that having occupied this office it be- comes my duty to give you a final report
 T was rendered this position by you, Tor which you have my thanks, with out having been an applicant for same, and although at financial sacrifice accepted and assumed the duties of the office on May 22, 1911, believing that an opportunity was at hand whereby I could make record for the state mine department, and at the same time bet ter the working conditions of the state convicts employed In mines and in- crease the revenue the state has been receiving from their labor
 My first duty was to see that all state convict mines were put in and Kept in as near perfect condition as possible insofar as the safety of the eonvlcts was concerned. This has been done and today, with one exception. those mines are in first-class eondi- lion as can be verified by the state mine inspectors reports.

Although a coal strike was averted the last of production during settlement has caused a scarcity that will affect the retail dealers and their customers.
