church of Rome should be eliminated from public office in Birmingham
 Every indication Is that Alabama IS just entering a bitter campaign Aslue from the issue of Romanism, the liquor question is still before the people. The states finances make an issue. This trinity will make the shrine about which the political worshippers will bow during the next year. The True Americans VIII attempt to force every man to declare himself on the religious issue. Prompl- tionists and local optionists will require declaration on this subject. The people will call for a statement about the state financial affairs. Each candidate for governor must answer three questions
 Do you believe in the principles of the True American?"
 Are you prohibitionist or local op- tionist?
 What will you do for the states treas ury?"
 Many men prominent in political life hope the issue of Romanism will not be brought into the campaign. They contend that a mans religious belief should not be considered, but that his record and his success should be first. strong ef- fort will be made to prevent further use of the issue, but as sure as daylight fol- lows darkness the issue must come and must be faced. Thon1es I1. Kilby opened the subject for discussion 6o days ago. It became an issue from that moment All along it has been realized that the outcome of the Birmingham campaign would have weight in the state cam paign Reports are that several prornl- nent men of Alabama are interested in the anti-Catholic organization, but have been keeping under cover, being shielded by the secrecy of the organization.
 Of course, prohibition Is Alabama's per petual political issue. No one has thought for a moment that it would not be brought up again. There are many who hope to see it buried forever and ever, but there's no twinkle of joy Tn their eyes when they say that prohlol- ton as an issue is ended.
 The public is demanding that the cam paign be based on a sincere effort to relieve the state of this financial embar- rassment. It Is true that the state lived within it's income during the fiscal year which ended September 90, 1Sl7 the state ments of many persons to the contrary notwithstanding. But there is deficl' of more than s2,0O00o0 incurred in years gone by. At the rate of receipts and disbursements of last year, it would take the state more than 20 years to clear itself financially. Some plan must be made whereby the state can pay off the indebtedness which is now floating II the financial world, being carried by New York sometimes, by Alabama banks at others and by individuals at others.

MANY CANDIDATES ANNOUNCE

Cossip says that the state campaign will be on in earnest by January l ana that many candidates will have entered the contests before that time. Friends of Archie H. Carmichael or IuscuHlpia have again announced that he will make the race, receiving the support or cer- tain prominent prohibitionists. In this connection it is understood there has been a serious break in tho Alabama Anti-Saloon league. The story Is that Brooks Lawrence secretary or tne league is lending every assistance 10 MT Kilby, while Fred M. Jackson ana pos sihlv Borden Bur- favor the candidacy of MT. Carmichael The three have been leaders in the Anti-Saloon league.
 w w Brandon of Tuscaloosa entered the race today, but his announcement had been expected each week Tor sew era1 months.
 Mir. Silby and John Fl. Wallace, Jr. have already started their campaigns NIr yilby's headquarters at Anniston IS sending out literature and is in constant communication with the voters. MT.
 walIace's headquarters in Montgomery has been at work for several weeks. MT. Wallace's friends claim he has one or
 the best political organizations ever put to work in Alabama. He has state
 campaign committee which IS maoe up
 of men from every county, with senator
 Oscar S. Lewis of Dothan as chairman.
 It has prepared and its sending out large batch of campaign literature, set ting forth the reasons why 1t peheves MT. Wallace should be named.
 Little attention is being paid to the minor state offices, but it Is known that many persons are considering these po- sitions and are preparing to enter the campaign Citizens of Alabama never let any office go begging. They see nc reason now why they should forget their motto of old: wen fight for what we get
