Ala, June 18.—In a signed exclusive statement to tlfe Hearst Newsservice former Congress man Bankhead answers Governor Co mer's declaration that the Democratic Primaries overstepped their constitu tional and ethical bounds In naming alternate senators from Alabama. The statement follows: "When the properly constituted au thorities of the Democratic party called a state primary for the nomination of governor and other state officers, and mombere of tho- legislature, they pro vided also for the nomination of United States senators. Recognising the ad vanced age of our honored senators and the probability of one or more vacancies, the state committee also provided for the nomination of alter nate senators. The candidates for this position were generally spoken of and recognised as candidates for senatorial succession. "It was thoroughly understood and accepted by the voters that the nomi nees In thht primary for alternate sen ators were to succeed to the first and second vacancies In the senate If such vacancies occurred before the ' next general election. In the full belief that the nomination gave the enccessfui candidate the right to fill out the un- explred term left by reason of any va cancy, the candidates In good faith em tered the contest, and the people In the same good fatth accepted and dealt with them. Appointment Not Election. "Under the same plan and at the same time that the governor and mem bers of the legislature were nominated, I received a majority of all the votes cast In the primary for succession to the first vncancy In the United Btates senate and waa duly declared the Dem. ocratlc nominee by the state Democrat ic executive committee, to succeed to the first vacancy. As the nominee of the Democratic party, I expect the legislature of Ala bama to elect me United States sena tor at the approaching session. An appointment without election by the legislature will not enable me to be come Senator Morgan's successor. 1 would have no opportunity to qualify, as the United States senate will not bo In session bofore the meeting of the legislature. I have full confidence that the leg islature of Alabama will carry out the will of the people as expressed In tho last primary. THe legislature has In all other matters sought In good faith to execute the will of the people. The members will not seek techni calities to Justify them In evading and disregarding the expressed will of the people In this Instance.

The next came when Chung Chin swore out a warrant charging Chan Yee with robbing him of 9160 when he was absorbed In the work of easing his pains and scraping the Chinese Ink out of his slanting lamp.
