PROHIBITION SURE ID BE FACTOR IN STATE CAMPAIGN Candidates Must Declare Themselves on Proposed Federal Amendment NAME OF JELKS
 COMES TO FRONT Prohibition Forces Will Need Every State and Are Expected to
 Make Strong Fight in
 Alabama
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

The Idea obtains that in the ensuing gubernatorial campaign there will be an issue-vital and all-a absorbing.
 It will be, according to best informed politicians, the proposed prohibition amendment to the federal constitution
 Such amendment will be referred to the people by Congress as soon as the House, following the Senate lead, takes action in December To enact the amendment its advocates will be com pelled to secure ratification by the leg islatures of 36 states of the union
 The prohibitionists, on account of their necessity of gaining every possible state will not overlook Alabama, Thus, 1t Is pointed out, they will endeavor to hand pick" the members of the next legis- lature.
 MAY CALL CANDIDATES
 This fight for the legislature, involv- ing not the liquor question, as that ques- ton Is generally regarded, but the ten dency of the federal government to &C., quire control of and supervision over domestic affairs of the separate states, will it is believed, become so expressing that gubernatorial candidates will be compelled to take position.
 The candidates of the prohibition per- suasion have displayed a disinclina- tion to make the proposed amendment an issue. It is believed Thomas E. K:l- by, if required to make answer, would favor the adoption of the amendment William w. Brandon, who may become candidate. has given no intimation as to what his declaration would be- but 1t generally is regarded that he would hes itate to antagonize the prohibition strength of the state.
 There is a probability as a result that MT. Kilby and Judge Brandon would di- vide the amendment strength, whereas, the anti-amendment strength would be solidly presented.
 JELKS IS TALKED
 This situation, which Is regarded as plausible, has caused many prominent men to east about for an available candidate.
 John H. Wallace. IT,. has an anti platform, put according to the leaders above referred to. that plat form is too violently nti-prohibitiou; and MT. Wallace is further handicapped, in the opinion of the foregoing, by the fear of those who admire him that he be elected
 In this connection, it was regarded as a significant development yesterday that of William D. Jelks.
 Should MT. Jelks consent to run 1t is universally admitted that his record as governor would make him an exceedingly strong candidate.
