Now that the primary election has passed off the matter of commission form of government for the city of Bessemer is again being agitated. number Of citizens in this city are anxious to call an election to decide whether the city shall continue under the present form of aIdermanic government or shall change to commission plan.

 NOMINATION COMING UP
 The nomination of Louis D. Bran deis to the supreme court and the long, pending nomination of George Rublee to the federal trade commission will demand attention in the Senate this week. The Rublee nomination is set for vote in executive session tomor- row. Although Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire continues his opposi- tion to his confirmation on personal grounds. friends of Rublee in the Sem ate have determined to make a fight. Many democratic senators have been urged by influential men in the ad- ministration to support Rublee be- cause of his efficient work on the trade commission where he has served under recess appointment.
 The Senate judiciary committee will again take up the Brandeis nomina- tion tomorrow. The outcome is prob lematical but some democratic sena- tors have said that the best they could hope for would be adoption of a reso- lution to report the nomination to the Senate without recommendation
