.JELKS COMMENTS
 UPON UNDERWOOD Declares Chances for NOmi- nation Greatly Improved Is VERY HOPEFUL In Discussing Prohibition as Re- gards Alabama, Has Always
 Stood for Local Option to
 Extent of Dispensary
IS VERY HOPEFUL

Meridian. Miss. December H-(Specia1 If Underwood was from any other sec ton than the south, he would be the most formidable candidate for President be- fore the people" said ex-Gox. William D. Jelks of Alabama last night to a repre- sentative of The Age-Hersld when asked for his opinion on the presidential possi- bilities
 In discussing Underwood. Governor Jelks said: The section from which he halls is certainly. to be entirely frank, a hardship. but one which his friends are anxious and hopeful will be considered as less and less an impeachment as the weeks go by. I frankly consider his chances for the nomination as having greatly improved in the past month or two. and am very hopeful
 Speaking for himself and for thousands of Alahamisns, Governor Jelks contin- ued: We know Underwood 10 be a very strong man. always with the courage or his convictions and honest 10 most ut ternIost degree. AS soon as the fight be- gan on the tarif Underwood was fore most in the fight. and more conspicuous than any other person in public life stood for that reduction which all honest men deserve. Underwood stands for tariff re- form: he is tarin reform. and not man in the nation is more entirely eff ciert to secure the proper tariff reform
 In discussing the prohibition question as regards Alabama, Governor Jelks said: l have stood for local option to the extent of a dispensary. I am opposed to the harroom under any circumstances, but have been certain that the larger cities could not enforce a prohibition law
 Governor Jelks was asked for his opinion on Wilson's strength in Alabama. He said: q believe that a tremendous portion of the people of Alabama for Underwood would go for Wilson were Gn- derv ood out of the running. In other words, I believe that Wilson would cas- fly carry the state.'
 The Bowman-O O'Neal controversy was discussed at length with the ex-governor. He said in discussing this matter: T do not believe that Governor O'Nea1 has considered answering any of the charges that Colonel Bowman has made. l do not know what he might do if any attempt was made to furnish evidence covering any serious matters" He stated that as a rule the governor was entirely help less in such cases.
 Governor Jelks declined to make statement in regard to the charges against ex-Governor James K. Vardaman or the address of personal privilege made by Senator LeRoy Percy at Washing ton on Tuesday of this week.
