be candidates for permanent chair man of the state democratic conven- tion which will be organized in Montgomery. September '.
 MT. Bankhead and MT. Bowie have started their efforts in earnest, &C., cording to information which came to Montgomery today. MT. Bank head has notified his friends by tele- graph that he intends to be in the race and has requested their sup port. MT. Bowie is doing likewise, according to reports here. but inso- far as Is known no telegrams have been received in his interest.
 Both have been prominent figures In the affairs of the democratic party for many years. MT. Bankhead haA never held political office but is the son of the lamented John H. Bank head, who died as a United States senator from Alabama. MT. Bowie has not held political office for many years but at one time was con- gressman from Alabama
 Plans have already been completed for the convention. which will be the greatest gathering of the party III Al&Ddtud AeASs AhO N'ANAtN theatre has been leased for two days by James H. Webb, chairman of the state democratic executive commit tee, indicating that the convention will continue through the second day The first session will be held at l o'clock. the afternoon of Thursday. September q, in accordance with the call provided by the state democratic executive committee. Original plans were for the holding of the sessions in the hall of the house of represen- tatives but they were abandoned this week.
 Much gossip is heard regarding the blanks which will be proposed for the democratic platform. First inter est naturally centers in the platform on which Judge w. ". Brandon was elected governor August s. Judge Brandon has appealed to the con- yention to write these blanks into the platform of the party and there Is every indication that his friends will come to Montgomery for the pur- pose of fighting for these principles.
 Then thv state highway commission will ask the convention to include in the platform a provision for the construction of highways and the maintenance of all highways con- structed.
 Citizens of all sections of the state will urge full and unqualified in- dorsement of the port amendment which will be submitted to the voters in November and which, if accepted, will provide for the construction or a state port which will meet the competition of New Orleans and other ports.
 Citizens of Alabama who will be mem bers of the democratic convention. .,,til,a n,etn at dGnnnCrAtlC committee being delegates by virtue or their party position, follow;
