HENDERSON AND
 COMER WORKING
Making Stupendous Efforts
 to Secure Nomination
BOTH ARE CONFIDENT
Two Henderson Headquarters at Cap ital, One Devoted to State; Other for Montgomery-Comer's
 Headquarters Active
By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery. April 16.-(Special ] Charles Henderson and B. B. Conner are both putting forth stupendous efforts to secure the nomination for governor n May Il, the date of the second primary for the nomination of state, county and congressional officers.
 The headquarters of the two candidates for gubernatorial honors are probably more active now than at any time since the campaign began, and indications are that an even greater display of activity will be shown as the second campaign progresses.
 The Henderson followers are confident of success, basing their optimism upon the fact that since the election on April both Kolb and Seed men have enlisted beneath Mir. Henderson's standard with & degree of enthusiasm and earnestnes ss which augurs well for the success If that candidate.
 Two headquarters are now established here for MT. Henderson, one devoted to promoting that candidates success throughout the entire state and the other devoted to furthering hi ssuccess in Mont somery county. Favorable reports are given out from both headquarters Sam r. Kennedy, state campaign manager, de- clares that he does not feel the least doubt as 10 MT. Henderson s chances in- dicating that the most encouraging re- ports are coming in from all the state. Richard Hobbie, local manager, is conn- dent that Mr. Henderson will carry Mont gomery county by an overwhelming ma Jority, probably by three to one.
 The Henderson managers declare that they are expecting an easy victory in the second primary. In their opinion, MT. Corners vote on April represented prae- ueaily his entire strength. and they pre- dict that his increase of strength on the second primary, in proportion to the votes cast, will not be greater than per cent.
 On the other hand, the Conner followers are equally sanguine. They maintain that the former governor is certai nto win, the former governor is certain to win, MT. Conner will receive good percentage of kolbs strength and the majority If Seeds. But they are not letting the grass grow under their feet, and are displaying an activity no less pronounced than that of the rival headquarters.
 Mir Henderson returned today from .do- bile full of exultation. He declared ,hat he had received gerat encouragement while in the Gulf City. and expressed the opinion that he would carry Mobile by a large majority. Mobile was one of Cap tain kolb's strongholds, and the follow CTS of that candidate in that city have new embraced the cause of MT Henderson 10 a considerable extent
 T am feeling as if the fight is already won,' said MT. Henderson when seen at his campaign headquarters. During the past 10 days l have received encourage ment and pledges of support from every section of the state, and I believe l shall win by 10000 l5ooo majority. l have every reason to believe that I will receive approximately 75 per cent of the combined strength of Captain kolb and MT. Seed
