Horton Urged as Successor

Montgomery, February 1S-(Special.) For the vacancy resulting from the death of the late Chancellor w. H. Simpson of Decatur, Senator James E. Horton of Limestone was presented by his Mont gomery friends to Governor Henderson this morning as an applicant
 It is understood that Senator Horton will have the solid support of the citi- zens of Limestone and unusually strong support from the citizens of the other counties composing that chancery dis trict. The applicant is well known throughout Alabama. In 1911 he was a member of the house. He returned to Montgomery last month as a member of the senate He has been an able and consistent friend of the present admins tration, and it would cause his friends little surprise were Governor Henderson to name him to the post he is seeking.
 Senator Horton today declined to dis cusS his application, but it is generally understood that he will accept in the event that he is appointed.
 Friends of State Senator James F. Hor- ton of Athens today called on Governor Henderson and asked that he be appoint ed chancellor of the Northern Division of Alabama, to succeed the late Chancellor William Henry Simpson of New Decatur who died at that place yesterday.
 Senator Horton is a strong friend of Governor Henderson, having voted for him in the recent campaign for govei nor, and having been an ardent administration supporter throughout the present session of the legislature. He is considered one of the ablest lawyers in north Alabama and one who is admirably qualified for the office of chancellor. His friends are con- iident of his selection as Judge Simpson $ successor.

JUDGE SIMPSON
 DIES IN DECATUR Able Chancellor Succumbs to Stroke of
 Paralysis

Decatur, February 1S.-(Special. Judge w H. Simpson, aged 59 years, died at his home in New Decatur at an early hour this morning. The funeral arrange ments have not as yet been made Death was immediately due to a stroke of par alysis.
 Judge Simpson had been in feeble health for some years. although he was able to be around and able to attend to the duties of his office.
 At the time of his death and for a number of years past Judge Simpson was chancellor of this chancery division of the state. He was one of the best known and most able judges III North Alabama. He was said to be one of the most able chancellors in Alabama. It was very seldom that his decisions were ever re- versed by the higher courts. He was by nature weak in bodily strength, but nature compensated him for this by en- flowing him with a mind and brain pos sessed but by few men.
 Judge Simpson was born and reared in this county near Danville. He and the late Judge D. W. Speak, who for years was circuit judge of this circuit, and  who died recently. were about the same age, and they attended the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa together. In his younger days Judge Simpson prac- ticed law at Hartselle for awhile, then moved to Decatur, where he practiced law. Soon after coming to Decatur he was elected chancellor of thls chancery district and had held the office contin- uously for many years Who will suc- ceed him as chancellor is unknown at this time.
 Judge Simpson had been married for a number of years, but no children were ever born to his union. His wife and aged mother survive him..
 A few months ago Judge Simpson had commenced to build a magnificent resi- dence for himself and wife and mother in New Decatur. The building is now we'll under way and would have been completed by spring.

It is highly significant that the great rank and file of the Con gressional Union in this country, the organization militant enough to recognize that pleading was no longer necessary, is led by the younger wo- men in the suffrage ranks, except for the notable exceptions, such as Mrs 'olmont herself. quick of mind as the youngest. and Mrs. Lawrence Lewis of Pennsylvania. Miss Alice Paul. the young head of the organi- zation in this country, who founded the union less than two years ago; Miss Lucy Burns. a brilliant Vassar girl who is its vicc-chairman and one of it's dearest thinkers; Miss Doris Stevens. its strategic young organizer of conventions who will arrive in Phoenix today; Miss Mabel Vernon. one of its most able speakers-all of these young women. with college but a few years behind them. had the fortnight minds that recognized with the clear prescience of youth that the time for begging, pleading and argu- ing was over, and the time for action come. The union simply adopted the old political maxim of men. Go where the power is"
 The power lay in the hands of the voting women of twelve states. four million strong. They went to them. In every state great rallying cOnven- tioEs were held announcing the great get together convention in san Fran cisco. The flaming spirit of service that burns in all women. the spirit that builds the homes of the nations often in the face of terrific odds. re- sponded immediately to the cry of the women of the east.

 For the benefit of anybody who has not been in Phoenix for the last six weeks it may be said that Lee liar rison is a blackface comedian,-prob- ably the best of his kind who ever played an engagement in Phoenix and one who never fails to score. Every body is happy while he is on the stage. and he is on the stage most of the time.
 "The Hero" is a hodge podge de- signed for laughing purposes only and it will surely serve its purpose.
