 Under the laws of the state it is inn possible for the solicitor or anyone to premise immunity or elemency for a con fession.

But the same may be said of all the other candidates.
 The sentiment is strong for south ern man, many believing that the time has come when the south should assert herself and demand a candidate of their own selection.

Programme to Be Made for Democratic Convention
DELEGATES ARRIVE
Chief Matters to Be Taken Up of Routine Nature, Including Nam ing of Temporary Presiding
 Officer for Convention

Montgomery April 15.-(Special )-The state democratic executive committee will meet in Montgomery tomorrow for the purpose of arranging a preliminary pro- gramme for the state convention, which will meet here on the following day. The chief matter to be taken up by the com mttee will be of a routine nature, in- cluding the naming of a temporary pre- siding officer for the convention.
 The state committee consists of about 4o members and it is likely that the meet ing of the committee will be held in the council chamber of the city hall. It is not probable that there will be contest of any kind before ths committee, though 1t is predicted that members from the black belt will bring up the question of representation.
 Delegates Arrive
 Members of the state executive commit tee and delegates to the state convention began to arrive in Montgomery today, and by tomorrow afternoon it Is expected that fully 1000 people will be here for the convention. Delegates to the convention will number more than 600 but there is
  will be in Montgomery for the big meeting on Wednesday.
 On the eve of the assembling of the state convention there is considerable dis cussion on the part of politicians of this city in regard to probable actions by this body.
