REPUBLICANS ARE
 CALLED ID MEET Struggle Promised Between the Friends of Taft and
 Those of Roosevelt

For the purpose of doing over that which was improperly done last year, the republican state executive commit tee has been called to meet in the Bir- mingham city hall at noon Thursday, January II.
 The purpose of the meeting, accord ing to the call issued by Chairman Pope M. Long, Is to order convention of the republican party of the state, which convention will elect six dele gates and six alternate delegates from national convention to be held in Chi eago June IS, 1912.
 As d result of the committee meet ing the republicans of the state will learn the status of the present situa- ton. As is remembered, conven- ton was held last August at which a delegation was elected and instructed to vote for the nomination of President Taft in the national convention. This action. however. by the national execu- tive committee of the party, was held invalid. Therefore. 1t will be a neces- sary act of the committee to provide for beat and county committee meet ings for the purpose of selecting dele gates to the state convention.
 The matter of chief interest will be the efforts of the progressive" re- publicans, who admit that Taft has no chance to be reelected, to wean away the members of the committee who are said to be almost unanimously in favor of Taft. It is understood that these ''progressives" will endeavor to call primary for the election of delegates to the national convention. However, it is not generally believed that this effort will be successful.
 Since the return of Judge Oscar R. Hundley from the east, the progress sive" republicans. who have been in different concerning politics because of their certainty of the defeat of Taft, have taken on new life It is now believed by them that Colonel Roosevelt will be in the race. These republican followers of the so-called progressive" idea are planning to do all in their power to secure an instructed delega- ton from Alabama for Roosevelt The "standpatters, however, are confident that the Alabama delegation will be in- structed for President Taft
