 county ticket was nominated to oppose the democratic nominees. Judges Will lliam E. Fort, H. A. Sharpe and Claire B. Smith were not opposed by the re- publicans.
 "Eyeryone recognizes that Judges
 Fort Sharpe and Smith have made good" said c. P. Park, secretary of the convention, "as they had no opposition | in the democratic primary we also de- cided not to run any republicans against them.'

 Street of Guntersville and J. o. Thomp. son, former bull mooser," were the principal speakers at the convention Mir Street made lengthy address, in which he said that the Birmingham district was normally republican stronghold, as the I sympathies and the interests of this To- cality were for the protective tariff ideas of the republican party.
