Liquor Men Put Document in Circulation to Be For
 warded to Governor
AGEE MAY GIVE UP
 IDEA OF RETIRING
Understood Governor Wanted to Give Agee Place on State Tax Com mission to Succeed
 Judge Evans

Dealers in whisky in Jefferson coun- ty, in preparing to petition W. c. Agee to make an effort to acquire for an- other term the chairmanship of the ex- else commission. will probably cause the chairman to abandon what has been said to be his intention of voluntar- fly retiring in September.
 Yesterday it was reported that pro prietors of saloons had drawn up a petition to the above effect and that after having served 1t on MT. Agee had, through Frank S. White, Jr.. MT. Aeee's attorney. forwarded the docu- ment to the governor of Alabama. MT. White, when seen by a reporter of The AgeH Herald. declared that the pe- tition had not passed through his hands but that it was his understanding that such petition was then in circula- ton.
 Some days ago the rumor became general that Mir. Agee would tender his resignation to the governor effect i've immediately. or would let it be publicly known that he would not ask for reappointment in September. These rumors gained greater circulation through the medium of the oitys news papers. Other force to the rumors was added when in response to a call from the governor Nr. Agee accompanied by his attorney. MT. White, visited Montgomery. While there he discussed the situation with the chief executive of the state. 1t has never been made known what occurred in course of that consultation. However the petition of tho saloon proprietors will probably nullify any intention which MT. Agee might have had of resigning, provided that he has ever had such intention.
 In connection with the situation it Is reported that Judge A. A. Evans, member of the state tax commission, will in the near future tender his res- ienation to the governor and that the governor, having been made aware of that fact, is anxious to name MT. Agee to that post. However, as 1t Is now con- sidered certain that MT. Agee will be an applicant for reappointment there Is speculation as to whom the governor will name to succeed Judge Evans in the event that he does resign.
 Thomas J. Judge, who will represent Jefferson county in the next regular session of the state senate intends to introduce bill abolishing the excise commission and putting the duties oi that body among the duties to be dis charged by the city commission. It Is reported that with MT. Judge five o1 the seven members of Jefferson's low CT house delegation are standing with enthusiasm.
 In addition to MT, Agee. there will be other applicants for the post of chair man of the excise commission. It Is in- dicated that so much activity in this re- gard will be aroused that the gover- nor will have difficulty in making his selection

ALABAMA CROPS GOOD
Thompson and Captain Reid Back
 From Trips to Black Belt

Capt John B. Reid returned yesterday from Marion and points in Perry county, and Joseph O. Thompson returned from one of his black belt plantations Both of them said that never perore in the history of this state had the crop pros- poets been so good. Captain Reid said the crops in that part of the country through which he passed exceeded any that he had seen since the war while MT. Tnomp- son was equally enthusiastic in his refer ences to the crop conditions.
 'The crops are simply wonderful. said Captain Reid .I have never looked upon such wonderful fields of cotton The corn. it is true, has been curtailed just q trifle. but the cotton and other crops exceed anything that I have known for years and years It only requires a trip such as I have recently taken to con since the people of this state that Ala bama is truly the most wonderful state -ound about us."

MULKEY ASSERTS
 PARTY LOYALTY New Congressman Would Spurn Nomination From
 PrOgressives

w O. Mullley of Geneva, congressman for the Third district in a letter to The Age-Hera.d. declares that he would treat with contempt a nomination for any or fee offered by the republican or progress sive parties in Alabama.
 Mr. Mulkey was indorsed by the execu- tive commmittee of the bull moose aggre- ga tion in his race for Congress. He de- clares in his letter that he openly repudi- ated that indorsement, and that it was giv en in the futile hope of achieving his defeat. It was published some days ago that the bull moose faction, in their con vention August 5, would nominate MT. Mulkey for governor. MT. MulNey de- clares that if he were nominated, he would treat that nomination with contempt He a dds that his allegia nee to democracy has never been questioned by any save his po- litical opponents, and that in Washington no question to his allegiance has ever been raised
 His salty communication to the political reporter of The Age-Herald follows;
 I note a staten snt to the effect that there was some speculation in the state that I might be nominated for gover- nor by the bull moose party This kind of dope is handed out by those who are my political enemies, and l wish to state that l would treat with contempt any nomination by any such
 party In my opinion such stuff originates with my political antagon- ists from the Third district. My loy- alty to the democratic party has not
 been questioned by anyone except my opponent. and the congressional com
 mittce, whose arbitrary action l was instrumental in overshrowing.
 The indorsement in my race for Congress given me by the bull moose committee in Birmingham was not in good faith, and was done for the purpose of defeating me for Con- gress. As a political organization, have no respect for it. and repudiated openly the supposed indorsement.
 was elected to Congress by the dem- ocrats of my district. and l am repre- senticg them as such; and l repeat that al, this talk of bull moore in- dorsemens and nomination has its origin with my personal and political enemies. My loyalty to the democrat ic party has not been questioned here, and it remained foi some defeated candidate to try to discredit me as a democrat.

Obear Says Bull Moose Party Will IndOrse Certain of
 Democratic Candidates

Contending that the progressive party Is not pie-hunting party, George S Obear, chairman of the executive com mittee of that party in Alabama, de- clared yesterday that the bull moose faction would not nominate candidate against any democratic who is deemed worthy.
 Our county committed" said Mir Obear. did not go to the ridiculous extreme of nominating candidates against all democratic nominees. We are satisfied that the democratic nomi- nee for sheriff, T. J. Batson, Is good man and capable man. It would have been foolish had we named candidate to oppose him. We did think that the democratic nominee for auditor should be opposed, and we nominated MT. Lemon to oppose him.
 "The same tactics will be followed In the state convention of the progressive party which will be called to order in Birmingham August D. One of the first things that we will do will be to pass a resolution indorsing Oscar w Under wood, democratic nominee for the Sem ate. He is good man and a clean and capable man. As far as we know, MT. Henderson, democratic nominee for governor, Is a good man. We will not nominate candidate against him, In my opinion, unless 1t becomes necessary to do so in order to hold our present status of being the second party in strength in Alabama"
 MT. Obear stated that a candidate for Congress would be nominated by the progressives to oppose George Huddle- ston. democratic nominee of the demo- cratic party. He did not indicate the man who In all probability will be chosen.
