NANISM ALABAMA If II (A WAR . Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 7. Mem bers of the Alabama democratic ex ecutive committee arrived In Mont gomery today preliminary to the meeting to be held this afternoon to decide on the party prtmnrlcs and convention. Exclusive of the chair ' man and secretary, there are 45 mem bers of the executive committee of Alabama, four from each of the nine districts and nine from the state at large. , As stated In the official call, the purpose of the meeting Is to arrange for the state primaries, and to set a date for a convention, at which dele gates to the national democratic con vention, to be held In Denver, will be selected. The state primaries will be called for the election of two supreme judges. . While this Is an off year In politics tn Alabama, It Is expected that there will be several prominent men asking for these positions on the supreme court bench. At the last convention, the precedent was set whereby the state officers were to be nominated In primary, although they may be elected In convention, this election of course, being a mutter of form. At the primaries, too, delegates to the state convention will be electod the convention to be called by tht executive committee.

The gentle men Identified with this movemeni will work for antl-Bryan delegates tc the state convention, and In case of their election these antl-Bryn dele gates will work In the state conven tion for an Alabama delegation to the Denver convention Instructed against Mr. Bryan. However, there was another move ment put on foot at the same time In Ihe Interest of Mr. Bryan and from AT COST FOR CASH On account of ill health we are compelled to dispose of our Marble and Granite business, and in order to dispose of the stock at once, we are offering our e iMre stock, set up in the cemetery, at actual cost.
