COLUMBUS, Ca, May 1.-Two car
loads of Alabama state deputy
sheriffs arrived here today on a
special train, with the apparent pur-
pose of raiding certain places at Gil
rard, Alabama, just across the Chatta-
hoochee river from Columbus. It is
currently reported that liquor is being
sold openly in the Alabama munich
pality, although that state has string
ent prohibition laws, and that local
authorities have made no effort to put
down the traffic.
During the days of local option in
Alabama the legislature of that state
enacted statute providing that liquor
might be sold in Russell county, in
which Gerard is located, the provision
being inserted, however, that the act
was to continue in force only so long
as the legal sale of liquor was per-
mitted in Columbus, Georgia, the two
Places being adjacent one to the other.
The Georgia legislature afterwards en-
acted the first statewide prohibition
laws, whereupon Girard was declar-
ed legally dry territory.
Little attention was paid the pro-
hibition law, however, during the first
year it was in force, and then Ala
CANA swung into the local option COL
umn once more, and Russell county
voted wet" in a special election held
to determine the question. Girard's
saloons began paying license then, it
is said, and thenceforth until Ala
bama's present laws were enacted the
village was clearing house for Col
:Hnbus liquor traffic.
Even after the passage of the pres
ent Alabama anti-liquor laws, it is al
legged, much whiskey continued to be
scld in Girard, and just before the
Georgia anti-shipping laws went into
effect, it is stated, several thousand
dollars worth of liquor were shipped
into this vicinity, the larger portion Of
which went to various places in Girard.
The Alabama authorities recently in,
formed the Russell county officers they
must suppress the liquor traffic at Gil
rard completely, and it is further as
serted the county officers have thus
far failed to stop whiskey selling in
Girard. The state authorities, it is
further stated, informed the Russell
county authorities that unless they did
their duty in the premises, the state
would use other means to enforce the
prohibition laws at GiFard, and the ar
rival here today of Alabama state
IDENTITIES indicates the intention of the
authorities at Montgomery to cleanup
Cirard and to suppress the traffic in
liouor completely.

New-York tribune., 1916-02-12

was due 10 the report that the Massa-
chusetts Legislature might pass strin-
gent primary law. which. in the event
Of Colonel Rooseyelt's refusal 10 permit
the candidacy Of the four IN his name,
might separate the names Of the Roose-
Welt delegation and confuse the voters.
The opinion Of the four men Is that
n rousing campaign. such as they plan
70 carry 70 every section OF the state,
will acqusint the voters thoroughly
with the names of the Roosevelt dele
gates.
Mr. Gardner declared his belief that
the sentiment Of Massachusetts was for
Hughes or Roosevelt, but that il voters
Of all parties were taken into consider
alton Roosevelt has more strength than
Hughes. As TO which candidate would
command the larger number of Repub-
lican votes he was not sure.
"Personally, would be for Roose-
Welt in preference TO Hughes, because |
know what Roosevelt STANDS for" Mr..
Gardner said. "No one knows where
justice Hughes stands on any question
now before the people. | am not criti-
cising that II IS perfectly correct at
titude for a justice of the Supreme
Court. but it is not an attitude which
will appeal TO the voters, especially
as the day OF election draws near.
These are not normal times. The
man who is elected next fall probably
will be at the head Of this nation at a
time when all Of the big nations OF
Europe will be about TO demobilize
10000 900 armed men. They will be
ruined financially. We will bo rich.
Il is apt 70 be a trying time, and
want 10 know whole lot about the
man who Is 20 be President Of the
United States az that time"
Senator Lodge. father-in-law of Rep
resentGtive Gardner, and one Of the
Big Four candidates on the Weeks
ticket, declined to comment on the sit
uation tonight. Il is known that Sen
ator Lodge is a hearty admirer Of
Roosevelt. but his acceptance OF the
place on the Weeks ticket and his in
terview declaring himself for Weeks
have placed him in a peculiar situ-tion.
lie was not consulted about the plan
20 make n campaign for Roosevelt and
knew nothing OF it until the announce
ment tonight.
In some quarters il IS thought tha:
Senator Weeks, the "fayoritc son" Of
Massachusetts,. will withdraw. though
no confirmation Of this has been OBJ
tanned. II is known that he had once
or twice been on the point OF with
drawing before the Roosevelt plan was
thought Of. II he does step aside the
fight may be between the Roosevelt
and Mccall delegates. though nothing
of the attitude OF Governor Mccall as
to the Roosevelt candidacy could be
learned here tonight.
Ex-senator Murray Crane. it IS be
lieved, will oppose the Roosevelt move
ment with all his strength and will
raise up another candidate 10 fight
him, or else make a strong fight for an
uninstructed delegation. II both Weeks
and Mccall decline 10 make fight.

Wires began TO hum, and soon teie
phone bell was jingling IN a suburosh
home out in Columbus.
In response TO sleepy Hello co.
voices burst into the chorus OF The
Mountains" and they sang 1t with
righ, good viii that covered more than
lhC miles between.
The alumni had pleasant surprise
in their turn when President GARFIELD
announced that the first sl,OoO'oOV OF
