SURPRISE CAUSED 1 BY ANNOUNCEMENT
 OF l.. B. MUSGROVE
(Continued from Page Five)

Musgrove and friends will refuse to lend their assistance to MT. Kilby. thus causing a split and giving local op- tionists a better showing for victory
 LOCAL OPTIONISTS DIVIDED
 Local optionists are determined not to permit split in their ranks. During the past few days the Montgomery bureau of The Age-Herald has discussed the matter with several local optionists who have been mentioned as candidates for governor, and in each discussion was informed that I shall make no decision until l am sure I can obtain the support Of those who believe in local self-gov- ernment. Among those who would be candidates, hut who are waiting until the sentiment of local optionists through out the state has been obtained are Will liam w. Brandon of Tuscaloosa, John H. allace Jr., of Montgomery, and Charles $. Mcdowell of Eufaula"
 And in the opinion of well versed political leaders, the local optiorists have good grounds for rejoicing. Lieu terant Governor Kilby has been in the race for several months and has already made considerable headway. He has beer identified with the prohibition forces for many years, and MT, Musgrove would secure his strength from those same forces. In view of the single primary plan under the new election laws of the state, if the local optionists adhere to their present intention of centering on one candidate, his chances for success would be greatly enhanced by the pres ence of two leading dry contestants in fia16

KILBY IN RACE TO END

NIT. hllDy mas stated uneQulVOcaty that he is in the race to the finish. Regard less of the number or candidates and without consideration of their political affiliations, the Anniston man has made 1t plain on several occasions that he would be in the race until the end
 The announcement. of MT. Musgrove, while absent from the state, the confer ence in Montgomery and the release of the announcement in that city recalls some political history made during the past fall. Strenuous efforts were made by certain Montgomery politicians to in- duce Judge N. D. Denson of Opelika, A. H. Carmichael of Tuscumbia, and certain other prohibitionists to announce for gov- ernor. Abundant assurances of support were promised them all, and every effort was made through letters and by per- sonal appeals to secure the announce ment of one or more of them.
 Recently. following the failure to se- cure the desired announcement from any .of these dry candidates, attention had been centered on Mir. Musgrove. Whether the conference in the Capital City Tues day was attended by any of those who had been working to get out the other candidates could not be ascertained. But at least, in the opinion of prominent local politicians. these facts add interest to the announcement of the Jasper can didate.
 THE ANNOUNCEMENT
 According to Phil Painter, the an nouncement of MT. Musgrove is so word ed that he will not be forced to file with the secretary of state within 1d days notice of his candidacy. the name of managers, nor will he have to meet cer- tain other formalities required following a formal announcement. Mir. Painter states that this matter was considered when the announcement was written and that MT. Musgrove can take his own time about formally announcing and filing his notice with the secretary of state.
 The announcement of the candidacy of MT. Musgrove follows:
 Believing that. a prolonged campaign is not best for the material welfare of Alahama, but yielding to the requests of trusted friends. I wish to state that will at later date make definite an- nouncement of my candidacy for the of flee of governor of Alabama, at which time I will outline the various policies will favor and endeavor to further the progress and prosperity of our state. I bespealz the active cooperation and sup port of all my friends"
