ing-Bradley Visits
Birmingham

r. l.. Bradley, probate judge of Lamar
county, and candidate for state treas
urer, was in Birmingham yesterday. He
is condfdent of being elected, although
he Is opposed by two strong men, M. A.
Graham of Autaguaville and w. L. Lam
caster OF Wetumpka.
Judge Bradley (as have the other cam
didates for minor state Offices, has been
conducting an active campaign. The
woods are alive with offceseekers, and
all of them, in the first blush OF the CAM
paign, appear exceedingly confident.
There are but two candidates for state
office who have no opposition. The first
is Senator Thomas E. .Kilby of Calhoun,
we'll known business man of the state,
who is seeking the office of lieutenant
governor The second is William +. Fea-
gin, chief clerk in the office of superin-
tendent of education, who is a candidate
for the position OF superintendent.
Neither will have opposition, it is gem
orally admitted. and it is also admitted
that in case oppoeition develops against
either, it will fail to win.
Three Live Campaigns
great interest is displayed. The two cam
didates for commissioner of agriculture,
DIR. A. A. Persons, a scientific farmer by
education, and superintendent of the pub
lie schools of Bessemer and Len +.
Green, inspector for the convict bureau,
are actively arrayed against each other,
and both are confident of being elected.
There will be another entry, w. II. Sey-
mour of Montgomery, who under Gov
ernor Conner was cotton statistician of
the state.
The entry of Charles II. Greer, editor
of the Marion Standard, into the field as
a candidate FOR secretary of state, has
mudded the waters of that race. 1t was
previously considered that the honor
would go either TO j. II. Nunnellee OF
Tuscaloosa, or Judge John Purifoy, pres
ent state treasurer. There is now an
other aspect to The case. The fourth can
didate for this honor is w. p. Cobb of
Tuskegee Harry Shorter of Eufaula viii
become a candidate.
The race for auditor lies between NJ G.
Allgood of Blount, and w. F. Wilkinson
of Autauga. Both are strong men and
popular. Mr. Allgood was a candidate
in the last election. Mr.. Wilkinson is at
the pr2sent time cne OF the examiners or
public accounts for the state.
The Supreme Court
1t is the general belief that Birmingham
Will have a candidate for the supreme
court bench, but up to the present time
no man has been groomed for this honor.
Justices Mayileid and deGraffenreid Will
ask for other terms, and both, it is
thought will prove able candidates.
Judge w. r. Thomas and Judge Armes-
tead Brown, both OF Montgomery, Will be
candidates, and 10th are we'll known
among the lawyers of Alabama.
There is under way, also, an interesting
struggle for the post of attorney general,
There is one announced candidacy, Col.
j. Gardner Greene of Pell City. W.
Logan Martin. present assistant attorney
general, Will be n candidate. d. Henry
Riddle of Talladega is planning to enter
the field. and there is still talk of the
possible candidacy of Fred Wall, formerly
Of Athens. who, az the present time, is a
practicing attorney of Birming CHAM.
