 Our present system of selecting judges for our courts makes the mistake of put ting the candidate in the class of the political aspirant for office," he declared. while this office is meant to be pure and unsullied by political favors.
 Think" said MT. Mulkey. ''of the picture of candidate for the high of- flee of justice of the supreme court stumping the country, asking the people for their vote"
 MT Mulkey was of the opinion that the positions of judges of courts should be filled by conventions of men with legal training. making it sure that the judges are we'll qualified for the offices, and are not just men who won the vote of the pee pie by their political advertising.
 A stormy session followed Mir. Mulkeys speech. number of speeches were made both for and against Mir. Mulkey's posi- tion. Resolutions were proposed. that the State Bar Association go on record as being opposed to the present pri- mary system of nominating judges. This resolution was amended to apply to su- preme and appellate courts only. The amended resolution passed, the close vot- ing necessltattns strict count of the votes.
 Last night the visiting members were guests of the local association at a re- ception and dance at the Country Club. This entertainment was the first of a series planned by the local body for their visitors, besides the organizations an- nual luncheon, at the Southern Club to- day.

MAKING UP TEAMS FOR HOME SERVICE
 CAMPAIGN IN CITY
Members Being Carefully Oh Osen By Executive Commit tee Officials.
 Meets In Few Days

Reports from the various commit tees which have taken over the work, of raising the s4o,OoO the Salvation Army has asked of Birmingham indi- cate that there has been no difficulty Tn getting organized.
 Carefully c. Lewis Bailes. who was asked to take over the work of ex- ecutive chairman. chose men and wo- men of executive ability. He spent more than a week in selecting these officials.
 The next.step in the work was get ting them together for a general dis cussion of ways and means for the coming activity.
 From the number of those who ac- cepted posts with the executive com mittee, selections were made for nearly twenty subcommittee. and each ex- ccutive member was given charge of cooperating committee which he or she was to form and lead.
 In this way an organization has been perfected whereby each member is at work in the field of his or her choice and has the authority of creat- ing a committee of his CT her own friends. insuring interest. team work and cooperation.
 MT. Bailes has besn complimented on all sides for his thoughtful han ding of the preliminary work.
 The ex-officio chairmen of the CO., operating committees are silent for the time being while they are making up their several teams. choosing members with painstaking care.
 MADE GOOD
 In Birmingham the Salvation Army made good many years ago and estab- lished a long list of friends; then, when they demonstrated what a per- fectly trained and. self-sacrificing or ganization the Salvation Army is, they won everybody. Many Birmingham boys received help in time of need from these workers in France.
 Not for themselves are they asking a penny All they collect will go to helping poor people who are being squeezed in the merciless grip of pres ent prevailing prices. or who through sickness, death or any other influence reed and deserve help.
 The money the Salvation Army asks is for their home service fund; not to be sent to the four corners of the to help Americans here who are in trouble.
 Instances like the recent storms, where hundreds were stripped of their homes and all they possessed, are the sort the home service fund is for or, as stated, helpless people who may I've around the corner from the homo in which the to-be donator lives.
 Within the next few days the execu- tive committee will again meet and report to the assembled membership on what each has done in securing members and team captains for each cooperating committee. When this phase of the organization is perfected all will be in readiness for the home service fund committee visits.

1HS Cudte par ASSoclatlOn was well eomed to Birmingham by Judge Samuel D. Weakly. president of the local asso- citation. He expressed the pleasure of Birmingham in being the host of 1900 of the lawyers of the state, and offered to them the hospitality of the city
 Judge Henry D. Clayton of Montgomery responded to the address of welcome on behalf of the State Bar Association.
 J. T. Stokely of Birmingham, president of the State Bar Association, delivered an address. It is the duty of the presi- dent of the association to deliver an ad- dI ess at each annual meeting acquainting the members with the changes of gen. eral interest in the laws of the states and country since the last meeting.
 MT Stokely spoke of the recent ses- sion of the Alabama legislature, and men, lioned the important changes made by chat body in the laws of Alabama. Im- portant changes in the laws of other states were also mentioned. He spoke of the bills passed by Congress during the year. touching on the prohibition amend nent, the suffrage amendment and other olils' s -s
 CHIEF JUSTICE SPEAKS
 The principal address of the morning session was delivered by MT. Justice John C. Anderson, chier justice of the su- prsme court of Alabama. The topic upon which Judge Anderson spoke was "The Centennial of the Supreme Court of Ala bama." May, 1920 will mark the Tooth anniversary of this institution in the state.
 Beginning with the first convening of the supreme court of Alabama, at Ca naba, in May, lS2o,> he recited the his tory down to the present time. He named every judge who held a seat and re- called some of the noted decisions of the court. He also spoke of the present sys- tenn of nominating the judges for the courts.
 While the people have always been Jealous of their rights a.s to the selec- tion of judges, this privilege has seldom been abused,' he declared. The trouble with the present system of primary cleo tons, for the nominations of judges in our courts, is that the thoughts of the people are centered on the political can didates and lose sight of the Judicial can- didates."
 Judge Anderson suggested as remedy for this situation that the candidates for the supreme bench should be voted on in a separate primary, set aside for this special purpose.

Entering the convention four days ago as candidate distinctly of the dark horse class, Senator Harding got only 64 votes on the first ballot yes- terday and on the second he dropped to 5G. When the convention adjourn ed last night at the end of the fourth ballot he had 6l.
 In all night conferences among the party chiefs, however, he was mention- ed many times as the most likely to break the nomination deadlock should neither Wood, Lowden nor Johnson take commanding lead today. They all failed to do so, Wood and Lowden running neck and neck race for lead- ership on four more ballots while the strength of the California candidate dWindled steadily.
 Conferences Fail.
 Meantime, Harding pushed his total 133, individual delegates from many states swinging to him from the col umns of the leaders and of various favorite sons. The Johnson managers, fearing landslide was impending, then made last play to save the for tunes of their candidates. They moved to recess for couple of hours in or der to take an inventory and seek new combination.
 The Wood and Lowden forces, both virtually at the peak of their strength but dsheartened at the long string of ballots without material gains, fell in with the recess plan and the conven- tion adopted it.
 In the dramatic succession of con- ferences that followed the fate of the candidates virtually was sealed. Some tired Intellectually for an agreement which would hold their delegates in line and kill of fthe Harding boom, Some tried to get a Wood-Lowden- Johnson agreement to adjourn till Monday without making nomination There also was conference between Johnson and Harding supporters in which the Ohioan's supporters tried without success to have the remaining Johnson strength swung to Harding.
 It was the parleys between the Har- ding and Lowden men, however, which apparently bore the most fruit when the balloting began again, for Gov Lowden came to the convention dur ing the ninth roll call and, reviewing previous plan to go before the con- vention itself, issued instructions from behind the scenes releasing his instructed delegates. Senator Har- ding also was in the rear of the Coli- scum platform during the voting and conferred with Chairman Hays.
 Almost as son as the alphabetical call of states began after the recess the ground swell for Harding demon- strated that it could not be forestall- ed Connecticut, when her name was called took 13 of her IA votes from Lowden and gave them to Harding. In Florida he got from Wood, and then Kentucky, almost from the first

 There was a burst of laughter in which Mrs. Harding joined and the cameras clicked lively accompani- ment as the photographers adopted the suggestion.
 Mrs. Harding was beaming with happiness. ASkeQ TOT some comment upon her feeling as to the distinc- tion given her husband by his fel- low republicans she said:
 }sI am tremendously pleased, of course. But think my husband is worthy of this honor and I am con- tent to be in the reflected light"
 Senator and Mrs. Harding were busy with preparations to enable thtm to catch train leaving for Washington within few hours.
