 Alex E. Walker, who is to be man. ager of the local bank. is at present superintendent, of banks of Alabama and his experience in this position for several years has given him very intimate knowledge of banking con- ditions in Alabama and this section of the south.
 Chairman w. H. Kettig said last night that they should now be able to open the bank within the next week or two--two weeks at the outside.
 We have been waiting upon the official action of the board in Wash ington" he said. and just as soon as official notice arrives we will get to work.

Wal I anticipate that the new board will have meeting probably sometime Monday. Arrangements have been made whereby the new bank will, at the beginning, occupy only the mezzanine floor and vault of the Jefferson County bank rooms. That will be plenty of room 10 get things started

Who shall certify the names of the candidates for legislature and for Congress to the probate judges of their respectiYe counties.

This question has given rise to some worry and a great deal of investiga- ton during the last few days. The law Is silent on the point and as there are no precedents for the guidance of the candidates or the committed, the candidates are filing their notices with every committee in sight. Every cam didate for Congress in the Ninth dis trict and every candidate for represen- tative in the state legislature either has or will file his notice with both the state and county primary election subcommttees.
 The primary election act was passed at the 1915 session of the legislature and became a law without the approval of the governor The section govern ing the qualifying of candidates ill the primaries is Section 9, at Page a19, of the 1915 Acts.
 Some politicians who are fond of mathematical problems and are wont to figure out election results in advance have buried themselves with calcula- tions as to the probable result of the primary election in the Ninth congress sional district. Under the law in force each voSer is entitled to a first choice and a second choice vote. Tne nomina- tion is made from the two candidates receiving the highest first choice votes, all others being eliminated from further consideration.
 In Jefferson county, which constitutes the Ninth district, there are few less than 1900 voters registered. Not all or these are democrats, but all white men who subscribe to the party principles, regardless of former affiliations, may vote in the primary the only requisite being that he be white and by his par | tif.ir ion in ba nlpdgp limgplT to vote in the general election in the fall for the men nominated in the pri- mary election.
 One of the lingering" politicians has made this calculations: Fifteen thousand votes will be cast in the primary. gets e0o0 first choice and 2O0O second choice votes; B, 450o first and 40O0 sec ond; ', 3o0G first and 4000 second; ID, 1000 first and 1500 second; E., 500 first and l50o second c, D and E are elim- mated because A and receive the two highest first choice votes. Of the first choice votes A has majority of 150o. but he has not received majority or the 15,500 total vote. The nomination lies between him and B, and to ascer- tain which it is their first and second choice votes are added. As coco first choice and 2000 second choice votes make a total of 5000 B's 4500 first choice and 4UD seCOHu CHOitc NoltS Hlaho ~ total of $500, or 5o0 more than received, and consequently he gets the nomina- tion.
 From the above calculation it will be seen that the man receiving the highest number of first choice votes may be a long way from the coveted nomination. | In fact, weak third high in first choice votes may have majority over the | leading first choice candidate when tho 1 first and second choics votes are con | solidated.

Will Probably Be Heard at Capitol Park Again
 Thursday Night
OTHER CANDIDATES ACTIVE AS FIGHT
 GETS UNDER WAY
Dr. Dickinson Is Arrang- ing Affairs to Devote His Entire Time to His
 Campaign

Erie Pettus candidate for Congress,
 following the opening of his campaign
 Friday night, has already arranged a tentative speaking schedule for the next
 few days.
 Because of the bad weather Friday
 night, friends of MT. Pettus insisted yes
 terday that he make another speech at
 Capitol park, where the voters of Bir-
 mingham could all have an opportunity
 to hear him. It has accordingly, about
 been decided that he will make another
 address at the park next Thursday night.
 Tuesday afternoon he will deliver a
 War Savings Stamp address at the plant
 of the Semet-Solvay plant, which will
 be entirely apart from politics, and in
 which there will be no reference to his
 candidacy. Friday night he will speak
 at Leeds and residents of that section
 assured him yesterday that if he would
 address them at that time large crowd
 would be present to hear him.
 I'M. Pettus spent yesterday afternoon in
 Bessemer and while he made no speeches
 he met and conferred with a large num-
 Der of the voters in that section of the district
 'tThe most striking thing l found in
 Bessemer,' said MT. Pettus last night, was that the Huddleston strength there has been greatly exaggerated and over- estimated. There is no more patriotic section of the district and people there are heartily and earnestly behind the ad- ministration and all of it's plans for win ming the war"
 Now that the campaign is getting into full swing all of the candidates are be- coming very active. J. F. Carle has beeu engaged all the week in work of the Scottish Rite reunion, but stated last night that during the next few days he will arrange speaking schedule in which he will present his views squarely before the voters.
 F. M. Jackson has also begun his speak ing engagements and will continue his campaigning vigorously and actively. There was a rumor last night that pr A. J. Dickinson was arranging his af- fairs so that he can give his entire time to his campaign, and, according to these reports, the matter would be made public today. Dr. Dickinson is pastor of the First Baptist church.
 While it is not generally believed that all of the candidates will run through tc the end, the supporters of no one will admit that there is the remotest possibill- ty of their man quitting before the end It was recognized yesterday that the second choice feature of the voting may play a very important part in the result because. if no candidate gets majority the second choice votes will decide It. II is understood that the Huddleston forces have sent out the word to his supporters not to vote for any one for second choice hut to confine their first choice votes tc him.
