JUDGE PURIFOY ID ENTER RACE FOR
 CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Secretary of State Will Make Formal Announce ment of His Candi-
 dacy at Once

Mcntgomery. January 29.-(speeial) Judge John Purifoy. secretary of state and a prominent figure in Alabama pol tics for many years will make his for ma; announcement for governor Wednes- day afternoon. He informed personal friends Tuesday afternoon that he could not resist tS@Taands which his friends were making. spon him and had decided to enter the fight regardless of the mum her w5x&sr be in it
 He wil ~pose the federal prohioiton amendnsp. and will be the fourth can dictate ssr governor who will advocate the reje:t!9n of the amendment by the Alaban~ 5agislBture My experience with federal fxLtrci has not been pleasant and I an, convinced the question should be handled within the boundaries of the state" said Judge Purifoy Tuesday afternoon. But l shall insist that the issue must be settled by the legislature and not by the governor, as the goVer- nor is prevented by the constitution from having anything to do with the question: It must be ratified or rejected by the legislature and no other power can in terfere.'
 Thomas F. Kilby of Anniston will have the unusual advantage of being the only candidate vsle favors the amendment, while four opposed to him must light for the votes of those who don't favor ratification.
 Judge Purifoy is working on his plat form. which will be made public with his formal announcement.
