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.
Prom lute developments It Is Indi
cated that there will be a warm fight
In the convention as to whether or
not the Alabama delegation shall be
Instructed for Mr. Bryan for the pres
idency. An anti-Bryan movement wa
set, on foot some time ago In Bir
mingham by Walker Percy and other
representative cltlxens. 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
