ment with A II. Carmichael of Tus-
cumbia, member of the Legislature from
Colbert, whereby the former would
withdraw from the race for speaker of
the house. was the positive assertion
of several of Mr.. Merritt's friends and
advisers who were in Montgomery to-
day.
Judge Milo Abercrombie of Macon
county was one of the foremost who
denied that Mr.. Merritt would retire
from the race for speaker. He indi-
Gated that the representative from his
county not only had no intention of
retiring from the contest. but that he
was in the race to the finish. Other
friends of Mr.. Merritt made like state
ments.
On the other hand rumor here states
that Mr.. Carmichael, from the tenor of
his correspondence, indicates that he
is the only candidate in the race rep
resenting his particular side. Letters
received by various members of the
legislature indicate that the former
speaker is ignoring all other candi-
dates in his effort to secure the speak
ership and that il he is elected Mr..
Merritt will not be permitted to name
the committees.
The speakership has been the SUBJ
ject of much gossip in hotel Hobbies
here today. The gossip was accentu-
ated by the arrival tonight of Ed d.
Johnston of Huntsville, member from
Madison county, and a candidate for
speaker
Mr.. Johnston stated to friend that he
was confident ofrhis election. He de-
clared that he was not until today sure
of winning the speakership, although
he had all along felt confident of sue
cess.
In the last few days he has received
many, new pledges of support and he
stated that already he has received
promise of support from nearly one
half of the members of the house.
