Gossip Has It Musgrove Must Prove" Himself, as rs,> as 9th CTS, Before He Will Be
 Picked By "Drys"
Fly FRED H. GoRMLEy

Montgomery, January 14-(Special.) Alabama is guessingl An unusual political game was started in the state during the week and even the political wiseacres who not know what it means. The announce ment of l.. B. Musgroye of Jasper that he will be a candidate for governor in the primary of August, 1918, and the statement of Fred M. Jackson of Bir- mingham shortly afterward that he was thinking of entering have caused an in terest in state politics which is un- usual for this season Every one knew that the oftrepeated requests for short campaign would avail nothing, and that it would run at least year, but who knew or thought it would be started in January, 1917, thus running more than IS months?
 But the campaign has been started Musgrove is in the contest and his friends say he is in to stay. Thomas E. Kilby of Anniston. lieutenant-governor, has only this week dispatch from Annis- ton said MT. Kilby had established cam paign headquarters there, and was per- fecting an organization which would that he will enter, though left loop hole through which he may crawl out if he so desires.

MAY CHANGE SITUATION

While MT. Campbell expects the com mittee to adopt his resolution, he said tonight that an adverse decision in the contempt case of United States Attorney Marshall of New York, which may be decided by the supreme court tomorrow. might change the situation. A victory for the House in the Marshall case, however The declared, certainly would be followed by adoption of his resolution as he has prepared 1t.
 Representative Campbell said he had found two cases which would warrant the House in following such a course as he plans One was the Kilbourne case in which a man who testified in the Jay Cooke failure was sent to jail Eventu- ally Kilbourne sued and recovered dam ages from the sergeant-at-arms, but this according to the records, was due to the treatment in jail and no way involved the right of Congress to imprison him. The other precedent is found, MT. Campbell says, in the case of Henry Kikoff, who declined to testify in the famous 1878 leak case when news of the contents

STRONG POSITIONS TAKEN

Berlin, January 14-(Via Wireless.)--On the northern Rumanian front yesterday the Teutonic forces took by storm the top of mountain south of the Oituz road, the war office announces.

INTERESTING GAME

Interest just now is in the political game rather than in the players. The players are well known and their strength it be? Many reasons have been given this week as to why MT. Musgrove en- tered the race. thus putting two strong prohibitionists before the voters for gov- ernor, and why Mr. Jackson strongly in- timated that he would run. But some of them made a mental scene as gro- tesque as the fight between Don Quixote and the windmill, and so fantastic that repetition was short-lived.
 The generally accepted opinion is that tine prohibitionists are attempting to oD- tain the sentiment of the voters as to the most acceptable candidate before placing an official candidate in the con- test This opinion is that Mir Kilby and MT. Musgrove have entered the contest as individuals. and with no combined support of the prohibitionists, that the prohibitionists and the Alabama Anti Saloon league will see what reception is given to them by the voters and that the stronger man will be indorsed Of course this does not imply that other well known prohibitionists-A. H. Car michael of Tuscumbia, for instance-will not be given an opportunity to become the official candidate. Any person who prohibitionists want strong man, ana one whose views on their all important subject are we'll known. This is the req son they are holding off for the present
 WARNING IS ISSUED
 In this connection. it may be well to organization recently urged the voters not to give much consideration to reports about the political activities of the Anti Saloon league. and to wait for some thing official In other words the state- ment said political prophets were guess ing and that friends of prohibition should wait for something official instead of jumping for the utterances of those who have no right to speak authortatively.
 One puzzle in connection with the an nouncements on the prohibition side is this: MT. Kilby has been long time friend of prohibition. MT. Musgrove has fought for prohibition and has used his own funds in the campaigns MT. Jack son has long been recognized as leader of the prohibition cause in Alabama. MT. Musgrove and Mr. Jackson are mem bers of the headquarters committee or the Anti-Saloon league. How can the organization with three friends in the race single out favorite at this early date? It can't be done, and the Mont gomery bureau of The Age-1erald has it from semiofficial source that it hasn't been done It seems the gener- ally accepted opinion is the best guess
