'~~-~~><><>~~>~-~~~~>-~> race for attorney general. In the first election Mir. Martin outran his oppon- ent, D. k. Riddle of Talladega, by more than 1s,000 votes and only lacked a few thousand votes of winning a ma joiity ever all candidates.
 Since the primary. MT. Martin has con tinued his activities, and his friends be- leve he will sweep the state by a ma jority of between 3c0O0 and 4c.0 0o0 votes. Mir Martin expresses himself as being satisfied with the situation. and declares he will win.
 In addition to the candidates for state offices. the Montgomery county voters will cast their ballots on Monday for chancellor of the southeastern division composed of IT counties in middle and south Alabama for a sheriff of Mont gomery county, aud for fourth member of the house from this county.
 The contest for the nomination for chancellor is between w. R. Chapman of Dothan and ]. A. Carnley of Elba. In the first election there were three candi- dates, the third being NJ. w. Rushton of Luverne. Mr. Chapman got plurality of about $500 votes and indications favor his nomination. although MT. Carnley has developed considerable strength since the April primary.
 The race for sheriff of Montgomery county is between McDuff Cain and w. R. Waller. and while this contest is expect ed to be unusually close 1t Is believed that McDuff Cain stands the better chance.
 II. B. Fuller and w. E. Andrews are candidates for the house. and the former will probably win. This race has de- vcloped into a Conner and anti-Comer contest and inasmuch as the county is strongly in anti-Comer column, there is every indication that Mir. Fuller will be nominated.

affect the results. Neither candidate will admit that his chances may depend upon such narrow margin. but still each has no intention of allowing a few possible votes to escape his grasp if it can be avoided. The general impression is that there will be a difference of about 5000 or 5000 votes between the two candidates, although the public would not be sur prsed should the contest be closer.
 Managers Confident
 At the Henderson and Conner head quarters here the greatest confdenc pre- vails. particularly at the formers of fees. However. the Conner followers are scarcely less sanguine of the final re- suits, and so express themselves. sam Kennedy, manager of Charles Hender- son. says Mr Henderson will Win py more than 15,000 votes. and he declares that he has been furnished ample proof for such an assertion.
 General Bibb Graves, local manager for Mir Conner. while not issuing state ment, said his forces had won the hght
 Craig Smith, -son-in-law of MT. Co mer also expressed himself as conn- dent of winning.
 The impression obtains that the re- suits of the election on Monday will
 
 if took to learn the results of the first election, owing to the fact that the ballots will contain considerably few CT names. It is believed that very good estimate may be obtained by 3 o'clock Monday night, though the re- turns from a number of the rural counties will probably not be received before Tuesday. In Montgomery coun- ty the vote will probably be counted by s o'clock.
 Close Race for Commissioner The race for commissioner of agri- culture is expected to be exceedingly close with sentiment in. Montgomery favoring the election of J. A. Wade. However, pr. A. A. Persons of Besse- mer obtained a good plurality over all candidates for that office in the first election and 1t is agreed that MT Wade may find livery difficult to off set that advantage. Since the primary on April 6, MT. Wade has secured the active support of W. H. Seymour and Len F Greer. who were candidates l for the office in the first election. and this indorsement may give the Talla- poosa county candidate a good major | lity.
 l But 1t is admitted that the race will be close. probably closer than that for governor. and it may be several days after the election before the contest will be decided.

Elegance has extended to the motor
car, and the smart woman spares no
trouble to turn her automobile into a
miniature boudoir or. as some cynics
call it, dressing room. A very well
known artist has been so busy for the
last few weeks with commissions for
painting the panels of motorcars that
he has been Obliged to refuse orders.
Some Of the splendid new touring
cars have their panels decorated with
hand painted pictures representing fa-
vorite scenes or figure subjects recall
ing the days when Vatican and Fra
gonard were popular.
Inside the whole auto is lined with
shot moire silk, and seats are on gild-
ed swivels so that they may be turned
in any direction. Small racks contain
bottles of perfume, powder boxes in
beaten silver gilt or in inlaid shell and
the necessary stick OF lip salye in a
round receptacle Of the same shell or

Tho Hat and the Exprssnion.


Wearing the hat slightly to one side
is very becoming to some faces-those
with dash OF fun and cOquetry in
their expression" remarked an observ-
ing woman. "Gainsborough's famous
Duchess Of Deyonshire' is an instance.
But the present fashion of wearing the
hat 50 one sided that part of the mar
row brim points to the zenith, while
its opposite side rests upon the shoul-
der, Is likely to be grotesque rather
than picturesque, especially when the
wearer has an mir of solemn gloom as
her natural expression, as many of us
have. A clever woman once wrote,
Never cry in a rose colored hat The
greater includes the less, Never look
glum In one sided hat Though It is
fashion of the hour to wear 1t so.
no one need do It. The middle aged
person frequently wears II look of
anxious severity that sometimes
amounts to scOwIing. 1t means short

Representations
WILL SOON Be MADE
Government to Protect Standard
Oil Interests In Germany.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The action
taken by Ambassador Gerard. last
week with reference to the plan OF
the German government to create an
oil monopoly in Germany is an indi-
cation of the determination Of the
state department to make every pos
sible effort to protect the extensive
interests of the Standard Oil COM
pany in Germany.
1t is not the intention of the state
department to attempt to deny the
right of the German government to
make the oil business in that coun-
try a government monopoly or a
partnership between the government
and private interests, which would
amount to much the same thing.
The departments representations
will be rather that the German gov
ernment can not sacrifice the very
large interests of the Standard Oil
company in Germany without doing
violation to the rights of American
firms for fair treatment at the hands
of the German government as guar
anteed by agents with the United
States.
State department officials are con-
fldent that at least, If opportunity is
allowed by postponement of the
execution Of the German plan, the,
adequate reimbursement of STANDARD
Oil company for their properties and
interests may be secured.
