GOVERNORS RETURN FAY PUT NEW LIFE
 IN STATE POLITICS
Appointment of Excise Com
 missioner and Decision on , Extra Session Are Pos sible Developments

The present is expected to he a live week in state politics for the return ot the governor of Alabama from Washing ton is expected to pave the way for de- velopments
 In the. first place. it is said to be true that as soon as the governor is home again, he will appoint a chairman of the Jefferson county excise commission, the term of the present chairman hav- tng expired sometime ago. In the event khat the governor does not reappoint the ,incumbent w C. Agee it is said that he will name either Dr. W. C. Gewin or John B. Rosenstihl. There are half d dozen applicants for the position
 Tn the second place, the governor is expected to let it be known on his re- turn whether or not there will be an extra session of the legislature. and whether in that session the present mem- bers or the members to be elected in November will participate But for the fact that a session of the present mem- 'Ders would necessitate special elections to fill vacancies. it is considered certain that they would be the ones commissioned to do the work in regard to. the plan of the state to protect the cotton produce tion of the state.
 It is known that the governor is in- clined to call an extra session. Ii is said. also that one of the reasons why he is inclined to call the present members of the legislature in session is that he has been assured by certain of it's leaders that it's action will be confined to business and not to liquor agitation. If the body of new members is called in session, it will be almost too late. it is pointed out to attend to the present need confront ing the farmers. and there will be dan ger of much agitatio of subjects which lare said to be irrelevant.
 The governor is expected in Alabama by the end of the week. It is antici pated that he will have some highly Interesting announcements to make
