One of the enigmas of the present
gubernatorial situation is Judge w. w.
Brandon of Tuscaloosa. His friends con-

Affairs

Long Branch, N. j., October 21.-In q
speech devoted primarily to a discussion
OF the need OF preparation in the United
States, President Wilson told a delega-
ton of farmers, engineers and architects
here today that he did not expect the
United States to get into the war.
II know that tho way in which we
have preserved peace is objected to-,

CURRENTS ARE RAGING


activities. outwardly calm, is but yet
a mask for the surging currents which
are raging underneath. Regarding the
approaching race for governor, the
average voter has given but little il
any thought. Yet powerful political
influences are at work with all the
energy and interest that would be ex-
pected on election eve. The stakes are
valuable and politicians are not short
sighted.
Within the past few weeks Alabama
!. has been the scene Of several brands
) of political manipulations and at
tempted movements which would have
done credit to Boss Tweed and Rich
ard Croker. While the people of the
state were watching with fixed atten-
ton the action in the national arena
they were missing a sight which was
of more than passing interest.
Certain political leaders, resting with
in the shadow of the state capitol, have
boldly and badly attempted to seize
, the prohibition ship of state and take
charge OF the affairs of that organiza
ton. From these sources in Montgom-
cry have come vivid descriptions of
prohibition meetings in Birmingham to
which, unfortunately, none of the pro-
hibition leaders had been invited. From
these same sources went out apparently
authentic reports that various prohi-
bitionists were about to announce for
governor. In fact no effort was spared
to make the pathway to the state white
house look smooth, and while not as
surfing the prospective candidate the
nomination without contest, the road
was made to appear so easy that no
less than three of the dry candidates
could have the honor for the asking

1t in the coming election.
Just. what these local optionists
would do in the meantime was. of
course. not mentioned. a,
CONFUSED PROHIBITTONISTS
All of this. to the prohibition lead
ers, was at first confusing. But as the
game progressed, as more and more OF
the cards werN displayed upon the
table, the situation became plain. They
feared the Greeks bearing gifts and
refused to take the wooden horse into
the walls of their political Troy. Then
they became amused. The action was
too palpable. "Since when," they
asked, did the local option leaders
and those resting within the shade of
the state capitol take such a Keen and
benevolent interest in tho men to lead
the prohibition forces%
Prohibition leaders in Birmingham
and throughout the state have taken
occasion since these reports began to
trickle out Of Montgomery to state
. that they had neither officially nor
unofficially taken any action regard
ing the coming gubernatorial race.
They let it be known that when they
had meeting in Birmingham the re-
ports would be given out here and not
be disseminated from Montgomery
Z. some days after the meeting took place.
That it was their intention to bring
out additional candidates for the gov
srnor, none OF them suggested.

TO THE RECIPIENTS
Numerous Names Are Still
Heard and Some Lively
Fighting Is Going on
Under the Surface
Nv LEON C. BRADLEY

The siesmograph of state politics
has begun to vibrate.
Not perceptibly, perhaps, to the eye
of the unframed in affairs political,
but to the tutored vision of the sea-
soned campaign veteran its movements
are no less visible.
The violent shock caused by the
tremendous quaking Of national poll
tics has temporarily shifted attention
of Alabamians from the state situa-
ton. But the slight tremor, an omen
to political students of the mighty up
heava1 which is to come, has not es-
capped detection on the part of the in
itiated
Pushed aside for the moment, forced
to yield it's place of prime Importance
in the interest of the people of the
state, the preliminary akrmishes, the
play for position in the coming guber-
Material contest is none the less
marked. With political leaders
throughout Alabama the coming race
for governor is even now the foremost

OTHER NAMES HEARD

With the exception of the strenuous
effort being made to induce Judge N. D.
benson of Opelika; A. H. Carmichael Of
Tuscumbia; L. p. Musgrove of Jaspar,
and Bib Graves of Montgomery. and
certain other prohibitionists, to enter the
race, there have been no significant de-
velopments in the past few weeks. How
ever, there continues to be much talk
about the possibility of w. G. Hard
ing, governor of the federal reserve board,
returning to his home here and entering
the contest.
Mr. Harding, himself. has given out no
public expression In regard to the mat
ter, further than his statement in Tho
Age-Herald during his visit here last
June. At that time he said he had a
position which was congenial and which
he liked very much. To resign and run
for the governorship, he intimated, was
foreign to his intentions. However, many
of his friends throughout the state are
still urging him to take the step. Should
victory seem reasonably well assured and
the demand for his entrance into the
race sufficiently pronounced. It Is con-
sidered possible that he might yield
Otherwise. it is believed he will serve
