LEADERS CLAIM MAJORITY GROWS Work Against Amendment
 Shows Results. LIMESTONE COUNTY IS SAFE Inroads Being Made Into Amenders'
 Territory. Chambers County, censidered By op- position as Banner Region fer Amendment, New Believed
 Against Measure By Good
 Majority.

Desperate, but scattered. efforts on the part of the amenders to turn the tide of public sentiment. have been re- ported from various counties of the State. to anti-amendment headquar- ters. according to Manager ]. Lee Long. and in the face of these scatter ed but earnest efforts. the reports show that the majority against the amend ment grows with each day.
 Mir. Long has asked his committee men in the various counties to look particularly after pnfavorabie condi- lions. but he says the reports are the most encouraging that have come Into any political headquarters in Alabama in many years.
 Rhinestone County. you know. was confidently claimed by the amenders when they started out'' said Mir. Long. over the long distance telephone last night. But today have received re- liable information that the county will vote three to one against the amend ment. This is in keeping with other reports I have previously had from that county. Some of the amenders In Limestone. refus to keep up any blum and admit that the county is strongly against the amendment.
 Chambers County Safe.
 Chambers County. all along. the amenders have considered their ban ner county. For the past two weeks we have reason to believe that 1t will TO against the amendment.
 Today we had special reports from that county and now I haven't the slightest doubt but that the amend ment Is going to lose in that county by e neat majority. The election Is now only a little over two weeks or and the amenders are doing all in. their Tra uv.fk ae .at Al &u IA opposition grows stronger and strona- CT each day. It looks like land- slide"
