 Montgomery, August 2o.-(Special.) Developments during the past few days indicate that there will be a warm time when the legislature starts its quadrennial grind the sec ond Tuesday in January. At this time there are four candidates for speaker of the house. a position to which Judge Henry P. Merritt was elected by exclamation when the present legislature was organized in 1919.
 J. Lee Long of Greenville. who missed being speaker in 1911 by one vote, announced even before he was elected that he would be candidate for speaker If he succeeded in his ambition to represent Butler county. fudge Hugh D. Merrill of Anniston shortly afterward announced that he would be a candidate for speaker If he was chosen by the people of Call hound county. Both were named.
 c. B. Werner of Tuscaloosa. the home of Aiabama's next governor, also informed friends that he would be in the race and he made his for nal announcement last week.
 R. J. Goode of Gastonburg, who was nominated as one of the repre- sentatives of Wilcox county, also has become an active candidate for speaker. Mir. Goode was a memb CT of the legislature in 1915.
 This means that the position which attracted no attention in 1919 will be a much sought for place in 1923. candidates and their friends have be- come active.
