in the ranks OF the voters as a whole,
nor to any appreciable extent in any
one section but that the disaffection,
what little there was. was confined TO
q very few of the leaders scattered
around over the county at long Inter
walls. We found, also. that these men
are changing their attitude one by
one, because OF the very simple but
equally effective fact that the men in
their districts will not be parties 10
any such business. and have so
strongly made this fact known that
these leaders have been given the
option. in effect. of sticking 10 their
colors. or else having no one TO lead
but themselves.
THE sentiment in this district. and.
in fact. in the whole county, as I get
n from various men who take deep
interest in the political situation in
this county is practically unanimous
except for the Democrats-tO the
effect that the best interests Of the
nation. and the best interests Of the
people demand at this time. more than
for years past. that the Congress OF
the United States shall be solidly and
safely Republican in support OF Re
publican Administration, and that for
that reason. Il is absolutely essential
that Delaware shall return Senator

ALL CONGRESSMEN WITH OPPOSITION
 ON WINNING SIDE
Continued from Page One,

mer Conressman Abercrombie and H Nj. Judge of Co1umbiana. MT. Black mon, it is indicated. carried every coun- ty in his district
 That Congressman Burnett has de- feated Watt T. Brown of Ragland and L. B. Rainey of Gadsden without se- rious difficulty Burnett claims major ities in every county in his district but figures are too incomplete to sub stantfate his claim
 That E. B. Almon has been returned to Congress from the Eighth over Judge w. w Callahan of Decatur. The latter carried Morgan county by an estimated majority of 1000, but the votes in the other counties of the dis trict overcame this lead
 It is impossible accurately to fore cast from available returns the result in the race for president of the public service commission, for which S. F. Kennery, Henry P. Merritt and J. A. Carnley of Elba offered. Kennedy and Merritt are running neck and neck with the latter trifle in the lead. The strength shown by Carnley was sur prising as he received a very substan- tial vote throughout the state. It has been shown, however, by the early re- turns that the office lies between Mer- ritt and Kennedy with the odds fa- voring the former Merritt was sur prisingly strong in south Alabama, dis putting with Kennedy where it was thought the latter would sweep the state. In middle Alabama Kennedy more than held hrs own and the re- suit will be determined by his strength in the north of the state.
 On the face of the early returns Pe1- ham and Whiteside have a substan- tial lead for places on the appellate court bench with Bricken and Brown fighting it out for the remaining seat. Judge John c. Anderson, for chief jus tiee of the supreme court. is far ahead of his competitor. James A. Mitchell, and has apparently been nominated by substantial. majorities in every county in the state.
 John H. Wallace. Jr. is well in the lead over his two opponents in the race for state game and fish commits sioner and is apparently an easy win ner.

MONTGOMERY

Montgomery, May 9.-(Special )--At mid- night none of the big voting precincts of the county had made complete returns. The voting was heavy throughout the county. Dent is leading for Congress by a good margin, and from reports has re- ceiyed a large vote throughout the dis trict. It is believed that he has been renominated. In the state public service commission race, the contest, from early reports, is close. Kennedy is probably in the lead, though both Merritt and Carnley received good support. Carniey showed unusual strength.
 The counting of the ballots, however, has been slow and the results may not be determined before tomorrow. The country beats and the counties in south Alabama are slow in reporting the results At this time none of them has been able to give the final returns.

 In absence of official returns the gen. eral opinion seems to be that Hammett will be elected probate judge and La nier clerk of the circuit court Black mon is considered a safe winner in the county over Judge and Abercrombie. The race between Morriss and Mccain for tax collector will require the official count to decide and it cahnot be said with certainty that Burr Will win out over Smith.

 "The Corsican Sisters is the title of the second of the series of real life stories to be shown at the Odeon Two under the general title. "The So- cial Pirates" The story of this ap- pealing play was printed in last Sun days Age-Herald, and is even more interesting than the first story. It deals with the further adventures of Mary and Mona in the pursuit of their activities directed at males who have been unfair to the opposite sex, and how they manage to make one man sorry for his acts is told in a story replete with swift action. The play will be shown throughout today.
 "A Tender Hearted Boy" featuring Mae Marsh and Robert Harround, also is offered at the Odeon Two today, but the Boob Weekly, which had been promised patrons of the theatre, can not be shown, because of hitch in shipments of film.
