The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-21

!
 committee is composed of some of the
 strongest men in Alabama affairs and the campaign committee will be equal ly as strong and representative. J..
 Lee Long will be chosen head of the campaign committee. It Is probable that secretaries for Birmingham and Montgomery will be named, and that | headquarters will be established in both places. Speakers, the best which l the state can afford, will be sent into 1 every section of the state. When all is done, it might be said that in defense l of the constitution, and for the preser- vation of the home, the fight in Ala l bama is on in earnest.
 Jackson Expected Soon. F. M. Jackson, the wealthy Brming- ham capitalist who will lead the forces of those who seek to put intQ the con l stitution a clause whereby places may be designated in which whisky cannot be kept, Is expected to return to Bir- | min gham tomorrow or Thursday of this week. The trustees of the amendment partisans will doubtless be called to- gether in Montgomery or Birmingham. Organization will be perfected then,
 and speakers sent into the woods. So while for the next week or more there will be desultory firing between l the factions in various sections of the state, and while 1t Is probable that | every night will bring news of joint debate, the real artillery will not be opened in perpetual roar until about l October 1.

 Both Sides Confident. To date, both sides seem confident, al- though the conservative element of both factions admit that at the present the amendment is beaten. Glowing reports from every section of the state are being received. Those enthusiasts in the in terest of the amendment are confident, nawever, and are heard to remark on every corner: "We will win yet in spite of your advantage of the present mo- ment.
 It is reported in political circles that the friends of Governor Conner are trifie miffed because Brooks Lawrence and the prohibition party have put tho chief ex- scutive out of the limelight. The report has 1t that there is mutiny in the ranks of the erstwhile impregnable prohibi- tionists, and that tho Comerites and the
 Weakleyites arc lined up against the clan of Lawrence. According to this re-
 port the friends of Mallory are saying
 very little because it is understood that at the prooont time the DRllag oouutHA
