Frank 5. White Formally
 In He Race For Senator

Despite the statement of Senator Frank s. Moody, made to the correspondent of this paper, that he will not enter the race for governor, the idea prevails that he may. after all, do so.
 Senator Spragins left for his home at Huntsville tonight without announcing his position. He had committed himself to Moody and could not offer on his own account unless the Tuscaloosa senator, in direct way and to him. released him. So far he has not made it definite enough to convince the Madison man that he means 1t. Senator Moody is known to have been approached today and to have failed at that time to state that he will not of certainty enter the race. Until he does. Spragins is stopped. It is under stood, however. that the latter will an nounce on the very day he is relieved of the promise to his friend.
 T. F. Seal of Livingston let it be known tonight that he would in all likelihood enter the race for railroad commissioner
 c. K. Sharp of Crenshaw made an- nouncement of his candidacy for state su- perintendent of education. He is serving his third term as superintendent of Cren- shaw county and has been teacher 20 years. He was against the amendment

 "It occurs to me that a great deal of good may be accomplished by a mem Der of the railroad commission, looking to the betterment of travelling facilities. and should I be honored with this office I shall give my time to securing better depot accommodations, more com fortable train accommodations, correct ly marked bulletin boards, and securing a better understanding between the railroad officials and the people.

 AS a member of the board of as sessment of railroads and telegraph prop critics, my efforts were directed towards bringing that class of property up to the
 
 the state for taxing purposes. Today the railroads are bearing nearer their just share of the taxes of the state than heretofore.

The in- creased business of the office has been handled at a less expense. proportion ately, then heretofore, and prompt att tention has been given all matters com ing within the department.
 "The insurance department Is now rec ognized as being of great benefit to the people, and it has been my pleasure to protect the insurers of the state, and to be of some real service to the insuring public.
