Opinion Unanimous
The question was discussed at n fun
meeting OF the Judiciary Committee.
Later, the Democratic members con-
suited with practically every lawyer
among the Democratic Senator's 1t
was stated after the meeting thar
the unanimous opinion was that the
. Governor had no power to MI the va
cancy until the Legislature met and
authorized him 20 do So
Some OF the Senators viewed the
days discussion as indicative of de-
lay in filling the seat. They argued
that 1t would consume much time Tor
the holding OF special session of the
Alabama Legislature, should Governor
O'Neal decide upon that course, and
said the selection OF q Senator by o
special election without q meeting or
tho Legislature might result IN a con-
test and delay in seating the Senator.
1t was suggested that an attempt he
made to enter into pair agreement
with the Republicans N case of the
death of another Senator during tho
session. Republican Senators ap-
4 q
not give the .dca their approval.
The main difference of opinion In
the committee arose over the inter
probation OF that section OF the Ala
hama Code which authorizes the Gov
ernor to call elections 70 fill the vacan-
cies in certain specified State Offices
and such other offices ms may be pro-
vided for by law"
Some held that tho language OF this
section was broad enough TO cover the
Office OF Senator others disputed the
position earnestly.
Overmans Opinion.
Senator Overman's telegram read:
by new amendment, Governor is
charged with duty of issuing writs
of election to fill the vacancy. but has
no power to fill by appointment until
Legislature authorizes him to do so.
by subsection 5. section 439. your
Code. II is provided thai special cleo
tons are to be held III cases other than
those elsewhere specified in the sec
tioH which are or may be provided by
law The following sections direct that
all special elections shall be held on
such date IS the Governor may direct.
This is the general opinion of the
democratic lawyers Of the Senate; that
Is. that the Governor can call spc-
cial election and that the candidate
elected would be entitled 10 his seat
however, there is much division OF
| opinion in the Judiciary Committee
some holding to the opinion that the
Governor cannot call an election until
