Democrats of Alabama lit i primary election tomorrow' will nominate a state ticket nd member of the legis lature, one United States senator and -nine congressmen.

Mr. Mallory stands for the present prohibition laws while O'Nell Is a lo cal nptlonlst. It Is contended that while the prohibition amendment was defeated by 27,000 majority, this was accomplished In . general election where party lines were not drawn.

MILEAGE TICKETS ARE T HoldergA Entitled to Only Such Privileges as Carrier , May Give Them STRAIGHT TICKETS WASHINGTON, May 1. In an or der Just Issued by the Interstate com merce commission. In which the com mission by unanimous' action upholds the opinion of Commissioner James 8. Harlan In, the case of Bernard Kseh ner versus the Pennsylvania railroad company et al., the principle of the J mileage ticket exchange regulation now In effect on the railroads in the southeast Is upheld. Tho order is of great Importance to railroads Issuing interchangeable mileage tickets and to purchasers of such tickets. In this order the commission says: "The right to use exchange orders and mileage tickets Is in the nature of a privilege voluntarily accorded by car riers under their tariffs, and must be accepted by those who use such spec ial fares with all lawful and non discriminatory limitations that may be attached to them." Three important points mado Ijy the commission are that the Issuance of mileage tickets is In no sense com pulsory,, but Is permissible and volun tary oa the part of the carriers, that purchasers of mileage tickets may not lawfully Ma constituted into a special class, but must come under the gen eral law common to all passengers, and that purchasers of mileage tickets are bound by the lawful contract fea tures of (hat form of reduced rate transportation. : The commission goes so far as to hold that purchasers of special re duced rate transportation, , such as mileage tickets, have, no legal right to demand the same privileges and, ad vantages that are accorded to a pas senger who has paid the regular fare at a higher rate. The carriers have never gone, to this extent, but while making the mileage ticket regulation for their, protection, havi afforded the same privileges and advantages to "the purchasers of mileajte! tickets as re given to purchasers of other form of transportation.
