LETTERS TO EDITOR
Writes ON Special Election

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
/ have read with considerable interest
the published interview of Senator Bank
head anent the lack of authority of the
governor TO call an election to fill the
Johnston. The senator is reported as
saying: 1T also appears that there is
equally strong opinion in the Senate that
the governor has no authority for calling
special election because the statutes
of Alabama do not provide for such au-
thority." And again: 'It is believed here
that any lawyer in Alabama who will
read section 312 of the Alabama code will
agree that the governor cannot order an
election unless the machinery is first pro-
yided by the legislature
The senator evidently did not read far
enough in the code. There is strong
sentiment here that there is not lawyer
in Alabama, or senator in Congress, who
will not agree, after reading section 439
ct. seq. of the code of Alabama that the
governor is not only given the authority,
but that it is made his plain duty to or
Ger an election in just such contingency
as now texlsts. Section 4S9 provides. 'Spe-
cal elections are to be held in the fol-
lowing cases Second, when vacancy
occurs in the office of representative in
the Congress of the United States by
which the state may be deprived of its
full representation at any time Congress
will be in session prior to the next gen.
era1 election for that office. Fifth, in
such other cases. as are or may be pro-
vided for by law" Section 440 provides
that such special election shall be held
or such day as the governor may direct
aid the following sections set out the
successive steps to be taken and con-
cludes with section AS in this language:
Special elections are to be held and con-
Quoted, the returns thereof made, and
certificates given, and. unless otherwise
expressly provided. regulated in all re-
spects by the provisions In relation to
general elections
If the authority is not fully given, by
subdivision above, which it would seem
plainly is given. surely the supreme law
of the land, the seventeenth amendment,
does authorize and provide for filling the
vacancy by election. and therefore SUBJ
division five above would certainly cover
the case. Confessedly section AS is amply
broad in its terms in providing the ma
chinery for holding and conducting such
elections canvassing the returns and GER
tifying the results.
All will agree with Senator Bankhead
of the urgent necessity of filling the va
cancy at the very earliest, and for this
reason it would seem that he should urge
and demand speedy action by the COM
mittee on elections, or in some way dis
pose of that commission and get 1t out
of the way of the governor taking such
action as in his Judgment will best sub
serve the interests of the nation and the
people of this state. If the senator will
get action in Washington, the governor
and the voters will do the rest.

his financial troubles are due to the
failure of the United States to recog-
nize him. Official advices TO the state
depa rtment, however, describe the pro-
visional presidents plight financially
as desperate, and officials here believe
he has not sufficient money to pay his
troops and cannot get money abroad.
These considerations and the inces-
SAINT warfare of the constitutionalists,
likewise lead administration officials
to the conclusion that even though
Huerta may continue to scorn the sug-
gestions of the United States. the sit
uation In Mexico soon will disentangle
itself and that a policyso of non-inter-
ference should be maintained for the
present at least.
1t is not known yet whether Presi-
dent Wilson will make any specific
recommendations In his message, but
1t was learned from high government
official that his statement of the case
will be the foundation for the next
step on the part of the United States

intervention. and that he is as de-
termined as ever to maintain an at
