Lewis of Macon, Senator Judge of Jeff ferson and other prominent members of the senate will vigorously oppose grant ing exemptions to corporations and in- dustries beginning business in Alabama while Senators Hartwell of Mobile, Bull ger of Tallapoosa, Wallace of Shelby and others will contend for the granting of exemptions.
 It is likely that the debate on the ex- emption features of the revenue bill will consume the greater part of the day. It is impossible to say at this time which side will win. though had the issue been fought out on the floor of the senate a week ago all of the exemption clauses of the bill would have undoubtedly been repealed
 Present indications are that the contest will be even, with hardly more than a few votes margain on either side
