DISTRICT MAY HAVE
THE MAJORITY PLAN
No Decision Has Yet Been
Reached OnDate for Meet
ing of Committee

1t is considered probable that in the
election of a congressman to represent
the Ninth district, the majority plan will
prevail
If this plan is adopted by the district,
executive committee it will mean that in
the event no candidate receives ma
jorty in the primary of April he will
enter a new primary with the second
highest candidate May H.
Henry r. Howe, secretary of the COM
mittee, and very probably its next chair
man. stated yesterday that he had had
correspondence with the members, but
had reached no agreemnt as to the time
of the meeting. He desires to await the
action of the subcommittee of the state
democratic executive committee in regard
to specific plans for the state primary.
The plans adopted by the subcommittee
will in all probability be adopted by the
district committee. The district primary
will be held April 6, it is generally ad-
mitted.
Il feel sure" said Mr.. Howe yester-
day, that the committee will adopt the
majority plan. Provision to this effect
has already been made by the state COM
mittee. Personally, | hold that every
candidate should receive a majority of
the votes before he is declared elected.
There are four candidates in the field
for the position to be yielded by Oscar
w. Underwood. the dean of the Alabama
delegation, and leader of the party in
the lower house. Nathan L. Miller. Jere
c. King, George c. Huddleston, all of
jefferson, and George w. Darden Of
Bount are the candidates. The four are
engaged in an active campaign at the
present time, and each admits prospects
of his victory. Political gossip has it
that Mr.. Miller is in the lead and will
be elected.

Cotton Futures Bill
"As to the bill to prevent gambling in
cotton futures, the Senate amended the
tariff bill by what is known as the Clark
amendment to tax the cotton exchanges
out of existence. | received many pro-
tests against this proposition when the
bill came to the House and offered an
amendment to it that mad the effect OF
taxing the cotton exchanges out of eX-
istence when they did not conform to the
government standards and engaged in
them out of existence when they were
running legitimate cotton market, as
believed the more cotton markets we have
the better it is for the farmer of the
south.
"I send you a copy OF the bill as
introduced it and favored it as a sub
stitute for the Clark proposition. 1t is
commonly known as the Smth-Lever bill
and indorsed by the Farmers union
throughout the country
My substitute was adopted in the
House. but when the bill went back to
the Senate, the Senate receded from its
amendment carrying with it my substitute
and threw the whole proposition out of
the tariff bill.

statements are without warrant of fact
IT thank you for calling these matters
to my attention.

Washington. January 21.-In prepara-

the House foreign affairs committee to-
day practically agreed to ask for an
appropriation of $4,000

was electrocuted. Before the execu-
ton the negro gave written state
ment to fellow-convict, in which he
denied having killed the woman and
in which he prefessed religion. He
requested that the instrument be CIV
en- publicity.
After his conviction in the Pulaski
circuit court on seven charges of as
sault and burglary, Pelton received
the long sentence. He was taken to
the penitentiary and later transferred
to the state farm. Here he was made
trusty.
1t was charged, and the charges
corroborated, that while driving to
the state farm from Douglas that Pei
ton overlook the Hatton woman. She
asked for ride and he consented to
take her to the station for so cents.
During the trip, though, he saw her
pocketbook.
Cut Throat of Negress.
Angered because she wouldn't pay
him before the trip was ended, ne
knocked the negress out of the buggy
and cut her throat. Her body was
found at the side of the road and the
tracks of Pelton's buggy were beside
it. The negro, the officials say, con-
fessed having committed the crime.
Part of the money he obtained from
the negress' person was recovered
from another negress at the state
farm, who had gotten it from Pelton.
The penitentiary officers turned
Pelton over to the Lincoln county Of
ficers for trial on the murder charge.
He was tried and convicted and SEN
fenced to death.
Under similar sentence at the state
penitentiary are Arthur Rogers and
Arthur Tillman, both white men.
