 Supporters of John H. Wallace, Jr. the only real local optionist in the contest at this time, received the plat form with d>light. They contend that Mir. Teasley's declaration no longer calls for any support from the local optionists and that he is a fence rider. Oscar S. Lewis, Wallace's cam paign manager, during the week is- sued a statement in which he predict ed that the entries had closed and that MT. Wallace not only would be the only local option candidate but wiuld be elected without trouble.
 1t was a noticeable fact that MT. Teasley made no mention of religion in his platform. Other candidates have taken stand on the issue which was formed by the activities of the T.

PRESIDENT GW|N MAKES ANSWER ID CONTRACTOR ALLEN Board of Revenue Defends Action in Awarding Bes- semer Contract
 rT~ 10 PER CENT BASIS
 IS USUAL CHARGE Mir. Gwin Issues a Counter Challenge to That of Mir. Allen in Ref erence to Local Con-
 tractors

President Jere Gwin of the board of revenue, made answer yesterday to the letter of Charles M. Allen, local contrac- tor, as published in The Age-Herald of the 10th inst, in which MT. Allen criti- eized the board of revenue for awarding the contract to build the Bessemer court house at a fixed price with 10 per cent fee for the contractor. MT. Allen con- tended that there were a number of local contractors who would take the contract on per cent basis and offered to for felt s5000 to charity if he could not prove his contention, provided MT. Gwin give 5000 to charity in the event he failed to do so.
 President Gwin brought the matter % the attention of the board yesterday and read his answer to MT. Allen. All mem bers of the board were present and in- dorsed the letter of MT. Gwin, which follows:
 Does MT. Allen want to be fair in his statement to the public? For instance, he offers $5OOO forfeit if 50 per cent could not be saved on the Bessemer courthouse job. To the average laymen this state ment means he would forfeit s5000 if he could not save 50 per cent on entire job, which would be s47 800, but he only means he could save 50 per cent on the con- tractors fee, which would be s4750.

TEASLEY'S ATTITUDE PUzZLING ID TWO FACTIONS IN STATE Latest Candidates Platform Appeals Only to Middle
 of-the-R0aders LOCAL OPTIONISTS AND PROHIBITIONISTS SHY Friends of Wallace Are Delighted, as They See No Bid for Sup
 port From Montgomery
 County Judge
By FRED H. GoRMLEy

Montgomery, December 15.-(Spe- ciaI )-Chief interest in the political campaign this week centered about the announcement of Charles B. Teas ley, which entered him in the race for governor and this chief interest was enGendered by the peculiar platform on the liquor question which MT. Teas ley sent forward to the voters. It seems to be satisfactory neither to the prohibitionists nor to the local optionists, each faction accepting it to mean that MT. Teasley was bidding for the middle of -the-road vote.
 Mr. Teasley proposed that the pres ent prohibition laws be kept rather than arouse the passion and prejudice of the people, This satisfied the pro- hibitionists He announced his unqual> flied opposition to the Sheppard amendment proposing national prohi- bition This satisfied the local option ists. Then he announced in unmistal1- able terms that he opposed any legis- lation which would prevent any man from ordering any amount of liquor for personal uses. This caused the po- litical puzzle.
 Prohibitionists and local optionists alike fear Mr. Teasley if he became governor could use this Chinese pug, gle in any way he saw fit. The pro- hibitionists say he could aprpove law returning saloons to Alabama and justify his action with the declara- tion that he did not attempt to arouse the passion and prejudice of the people bu only carried out his desire to maintain the liberties of the people when he signed the bill. Local option ists say he could decline to approve local option bill and justify his ac- ton.
 Of course his declaration meets no approval at the hands of prohibition ists While he is willing to leave the prohibition laws as they are at pres ent he is opposed to the national amendment and this is in conflict with the plans now being carried out by the prohibitionlsts and then he de clares that he Is still local option ist.

Sites for Third Officers

Washington, December 15.-Sites for most of the officers training camps of the third series to open January are yet to be selected by the war depart- ment. This state of affairs, 1t was ex- plained last night, is due to the fact that the schools will be attached to army di- visions. which may be moved at any time from their present posts.
 Wherever possible available facilities at sites of the first and second camps will be used, but there is no definite as surance as to which of the old camps will have divisions on January B.
 Meanwhile the work of selecting candi- dates from the noncommissioned officers and enlisted men of the regular army, national army and national guard who are thought worthy of advancement to

 It is known that the True American (T.

DELAY IN
START CAMPAIGN
NEW LIBERTY LOAN

Some delay will be experienced in
starting the campaign for the second
liberty loan in Pensacola, according
to a statement made yesterday by
Frank Welles, member of the local
committee. The campaign was sched-
uled to start all over the United States
on Monday, but owing to the fact that
r. F. Mitchell, J. B. Mcneil and Ben
S. Hancock. all members of the local
committee, are not in the city, it will
be impossible to start work here until
they return.
From the additional fact that the
hurricane struck the city Friday. and
interrupted the plans, it was conclud-
ed to wait until later this week, or
early next week before starting the
campaign.
Pensacola subscribed more than
twice the amount allotted in the last
campaign, and it is hoped that an
equally good showing can be made
in this loan, despite the delay IN
starting.
