NO DANGER
Of PROHIBITION
Altman Says Subject Will
Not Be in Governors Call
for Extra Session

That Governor O'Neal was not afraid
to call an extra session of the state leg
slature on account OF the strength of
the prohibition forces in Alabama and
that the report to this effect was cir
culated by the opponents to the extra
session movement, was a statement
made yesterday by John W. Altman
recent campaign manager in this county
in the victorious anti-fee system elec-
Ition.
Mr. Altman is busy working on the
appointments of the special committee
of citizens of the county to take up the
extra session movement as authorized
at a recent meeting of those interested
held in the Gold Lion tea rooms. He
has conferred with several of the Of
ficials of the city and county and
stated yesterday that the committee.
which is to be composed of about Is or
20 men, would be announced within he
next day or two.
1.-THE reason that I believe the gov
ernor is not afraid of an extra session
on account ofythe strength of the prohi-
bitionists is that any issue of prohibi-
tion will not be Incorporated in the
call" said Mr. Altman. Then to bring
up any issue at the extra session which
has not been Incorporated In the call,
1t will be necessary to have q two
thirds majority of the house vote for its
consideration. The prohibitiorists now
have not even a bare majority In the
house. and tlSy know 1t. and Governor
|OfNaal NJ L.
afraid of them.
Some say that it is the vacancies
that will turn the tide towards pro-
hibition. But there are but II vacancies
in the state and If the prohibitionists
gained everyone of these in the extra
session they would still not nave the
necessary two-thirds majority to call
up any prohibition measure
Not only that, but the prohibition
lists know this. They are wise and they
VIII not even make an attempt to have
a prohibition measure injected into the
extra session. They met one defeat
in the state amendment election some
few years ago and 1t has hurt them a
whole lot and they kncw *. Another
defeat would hurt them more and they
know that. Therefore they are not even
going to mention prohibition at the ex-
ira session. They will leayA that fight
go over until the regular session.
THE governor Is merely dilatory in
this matter. He is not afraid. w hen
he sees the actual necessity and need
for an extra session 1 think he will
call one
Mr.. Altman has made several ap-
pointments on the extra session commit
tee but as he has to confer with each
man before he is appointed the matter
Is consuming some time. He stated
Yesterday that the committees would be
thoroughly representative and able to
handle the matter with which 1t was to
be intrusted.
Mr.. Altmans interest In the extra
session is to have the anti-fee system
amendment placed into the state con-
stitution as adopted at The recent elec-
tion.
