ProhlbitlonistS Not Combined

Colonel Bulger was noncomnital re-
Tarding his chances. 1t is known,
however, that he has considerable sup
fort and should he decide to continue
in the race, he might be able 20 con
troll majority of the prohibition votes.
Senator Miner, though, is considered
q, having the best chances.
In the meantime the local optionists

POWER of the administration viii make
itself felt upon the arrival in Mont
gomery Monday of Mr.. Henderson, gov
crnor-elect, who will enter whole
heartedly into the campaign in the
Tuskegee senator's behalf. The same
influence, of course, will be. brought
to bear in the interest of Edward D.
Johnstons campaign for the speaker

ston will need the administration
support more than will Mr.. Lewis.
Reports from the prohibition head
quarters late this afternoon declare
that the anti-liquor faction claims S;

be substantiated although indications
point to prohibition majorities in both
branches of the legislature.

that she thought il was an autOm obile

around and saw the head of her husband

fatal bullet was fired was picked up a
few feet away from the body under a

Montgomery, January ESPECIALLY
Prohibition members of the senate
have not yet reached any agreement
i elative to their candidate for PRES
tcent pro tenn. The three announced
candidates are Ernest G. Jones of Clio.
Col. Thomas Bulger of Dadeville and
c. Miner of Vernon, all of whom arc
in Montgomery, and each of whom
states that he Is in the race to the
finish. Another probable prohibition
candidate, regarded as a dark horse, is
Jchn Lusk of Marshall county.
1t is regarded as more than prob
able that the. prohibition element In
the senate will decide to vote for eth
er Senator Miner or Senator Bulger,
though should John Lusk make an ac-
tive fight he might prove an import
ant factor In the contest Ernest Jones
is rot seriously considered
Senator Miner stated to The Age
Herald correspondent tonight that he
has eight absolute pledges and that he
believes he can count on as many as
IL votes.
He declared he has no intention OF
relinquishing the fight in favor of airy
ether candidate.
