POLITICS IN STATE
ALMOST FORGOTTEN
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS
Perplexing Senatorial Prob
lem Has Kept Guberna-
torial Race Quiet
CANDIDATES APPEAR
NONE THE LESS ACTIVE
Henderson and Conner are Believed to
Occupy Center of Stage in Race.
Little Interest in Race for
Other Offices

Montgomery, August .S.--( Especial In
terest ia state politics during the past
two weeks has been less pronounced than
at any time since the present campaign
opened, owing to the very conspicuous
place which the senatorial situation has
occupied in the public mind.
This latter interest has been so keen
that there has scarcely been any other
question discussed. The gubernatorial
race-whieh formerly occupied the prin-
cipal stage of interest-at once paled into
insignlfcance in the face of the per-
picking senatorial problem, and until that
question has been settled the campaign
for governor will certainly not regain it's
hold upon public attention.
How soon it will be determined wheth-
er or not Representative Henry ID. Clay
ton will be given the vacant seat in the
Senate. to which he was appointed by
the governor, is question that none will
ing belief that he will ultimately be
seated cannot be denied, though whether
this problem will be solved in weeks or
months there is no way of telling.
Governor O'Neal has the firm conviction
that the Senate will confirm his appoint
ment of Mr.. Clayton. For the first few
days following the appointment he may
have had some doubt-eyen though he
was convinced that he had the constitu-
tional right to fill the vacancy-but later
advices from Washington assumed a more
encouraging aspect, and ne left for the
governors conference at Colorado Springs
with the almost positive belief that Mr..
Clayton would be seated
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-24
Action Required Courage


Governor O'Neal was confronted with
perplexing problem when he was
called upon the determine what action
he would take with regard TO filling
the vacancy in the Senate. He knew
that immediate action was necessary,
and he was further cognizant OF the
fact that courage was needed.
When he left for Birmingham to
attend Senator Johnston's funeral, the
governor thought he had two alterna-
tives-that of assembling the egisla-
ture in special session, or of ordering
a special election. He preferred the
latter method deeming that the more
expeditions. But after his conference
with Senator Bankhead and other men,
bers of Congress. who were in Birming-
ham to attend Senator Johnston's flu
neral, he became convinced that he
had the right and the power to fill
the vacancy by appointment.
Hurrying to Montgomery the eover-
nor Immediately named Representative
Henry ID. Clayton for the place. deter
mining to put the question up to the
United States Senate. The principal op-
position at that time to this action
came from two or three members of
the United States Senate. who had
probably not studied the question as
closely as had the governor and his
legal advisers

win Return Home if Necessary

VIII return Home III Necessary
The governor is now on his way to
Colorado Springs to attend the confer
ence of governors from the various
states of the union. While absent he
will keep in close touch with the situa-
tion in Washington, and IL develop
ments shall assume such shape to de-
mand his presence in Alabama he will
immediately return. Should this be
necessary, he win probably be called
upon to take some action with ref.
erence to filling the vacancy, in which
event he Will most likely order a spe-
c1al election. But the governor left
Alabama with the growing conviction
that no further action on his part would
be necessary; that the question-at Wash
inRton would sooner or later adjust
itself, and that not only the state, but
the country at large would ultimately
be forced to see the wisdom of his
course
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-24
Candidates None the Less Active

Candidates None the Less Active
Yet, Notwithstanding the wide interest
throughout the stae in he senatorial sit
throughout the state in the senatorial sit
offices are none the less active. The race
for governor continues, as does the CAM
paign for the other offices.
Charles Henderson and former Gov b.
Il. Conner are believed to occupy the CEN
ter of the stage in the gubernatoral race
Mr.. Henderson is waging an aggressive
campaign over the entire state, and he is
thought to be gaining strength daily. Wis
ftors at the capitol report that Mr. Hen
dersons candidacy is being favorably re-
ceived in all parts of Alabama and his
friends claim that he will secure the nom-
ination for governor.
Mr.. Comer's meteoric plunge into the
Iimelght several weeks ago at Alfalfa is
believed to have lost most of it's force,
though it is not thought to have soothed
his temper to any appreciable extent. lie
Is still travelling over the state making
speeches at this place and the other at
tacking candidates, and endeavoring 20
again force the railroad issue upon the
people.
While Mr. Conner is considered strong,
1t is not believed that the former governor
has the strength he formerly possessed
1t is pretty generally agreed that many
of his recent utterances have cost him a
large number of votes, and that his Bit
ter campaign will do more to bring about
his defeat than any other cause.
Between Henderson and Conner
Notwithstanding the optimism of the
other candidates in the race for COVER
nor, there are few people who do not con-
cede the race to be between Mr.. Hender-
son and Mr.. Conner The Henderson fol-
levers admit that the former governor
will be their closest opponent. and tho
Conner leaders make the same claim for
Mr.. Henderson.
Expressions to this effect are heard on
all sides. Moreover, 1t is generally agreed
that the race will ultimately narrow down
to these two candidates, although none
of the other candidates has in any way
intimated that he has any intention of
retiring from the campaign
In fact, the other candidates claim the q
are in the race to the end; moreover, that
they will win Captain Kolbs optimism
increases daily. and he is making the
most exaggerated claims. John IT. Wal
lace, Jr.. seems nearly as confident as
Captain Kob. though he does not make
claim to as strong following as the es-
tcemed veteran of the Confederate army.
Mr., Seed is also waging n strong cam
paign, though reports received at the
capitol do not indicate that he has any
chance of winning the gubernatorlal nomi-
nation
Little Interest in Other Officers
There is little interest being manifested
in official circles in the race for the lesser
state offices. although the candidates are
busy sending out campaign literature.
and endeavoring so far as possible to coax
the public to their side.
But at present the state Is interested
In the senatorial situation to the exclu-
sion of all other political questions, and
nothing else can gain the undivided pub
lie attention until that important matter
has been adjusted.
