AMENDMENT

Huntsville, August A.-(Special) 1.-The
campaign against the adoption of the pro-
hibition amendment to the constitution
of Alabama will be vigorously prosecuted
in Madison county, and it is believed the
chances favor its defeat Senator Sprag-
ms, one of the few members Of the Ala
bama senate who opposed prohibition
will probably take an active part In the
fight against the amendment and if this
county makes good showing, he may be
brought into the campaign for the gov
ernnorship. It Is generally conceded that
either Mr. Spragins or Col. Emmett O'Neal
of Florence will be chosen by the anti
prohibitionists to make the race for gov
ernor on the local option platform.
The prohibitionists will not remain idle
by any means. A big rally of their forces
will be held on Labor Day. DR.. R. A.
Torrey, the Methodist evangelist. will
come in October and remain a whole
month.
The liquor question appears to be seep-
ing into all of the contests for county Of
fees and pressure is being brought to
bear even upon the candidates for judges
to declare themselves for the constitu-
tional amendment or against it,

yers of the south. His argument before
