ONE CANDIDATE HAS FAILED ID QUALIFY,
 II IS REPORTED
Wilkinson, Candidate Com. missioner of Agriculture, Said to Have Violated
 Corrupt Practice Act

Information in Birmingham is to the effect that J. A. Wilkinson. candidate for commissioner of agriculture, is not legally a candidate, due to the fact that he failed to qualify, and that the general belief is that he will not con- tinue in the race, though no state ment has been made by MT. Wilkinson with regards to the charge that he had not complied with the corrupt practice act.
 It is charged that MT. Wilkinson filed certificate of qualification which showed the names of eight men as campaign committee, when the corrupt practice act says not more than live shall be .on this committee. Further charge is made that the eight men who were named as campaign commit tee members did not file the necessary written acceptance with the secretary of state when the law says that such must be the case. or the candidate au- tomatically bars himself from the con- test as a penalty for failure to com ply with the law.
 PURIFOY'S ATTITUDE
 Secretary of State John Purifoy him with the duty of keeping any names off the list, and that he must put on the list the names of all can didates certified to him by the chair man of the state democratic executive committee. The law plainly states that no candidate who has not properly qualified shall have his name on the ticket, but it does not place the bur den of keeping the name off tile ticket upon any particular official and 1t is this fact that Secretary Purlfoy backs his attitude with.
 The only way in which to keep MT. Wilkinson's name off the ticket is to take the matter into court and have the court to instruct the secretary of state to eliminate he name from re list of candidates.
 JONES' STATEMENT
 'T have heard the facts as stated anent MT. Wilkinson's not qualifying for the race for commissioner of agri- culture" said Emmett A. Jones, canGi- date for the same office, when seen in Birmingham last night, 'and I am surprised that there seems to be a tendency to connect my name with this action. I am not behind the move ment. nor have I any desire to elimi- nate either of the candidates who are opposing me for the office of commis- sioner of agriculture. The day has all ready been set for that, and thouglt don't want to appear as being over- confident. am very much of the opin- ion that I will eliminate both of them on August 13, the date of the pri- mary"
 MT. Jones has opened headquarters on the fifth floor of the Chamber Of Commerce building, from which place he is conducting his campaign in north Alabama, and particularly in Jefferso and adjacent counties. He is doing some intensive work in Birmingham this week.
