Former Governor Will \gain I .tail in in

Candidate for Governor. i th
Columbia, Jan. 10.?Former Gov-| p<
ernor Cole L. Hlea.se will again le:i<l h{
the Reform party in the campaign of in
1018 as a candidate for governor. gc
After a thorough consideration ot'jbi
the resolution adopted last night l>y h<
the central committee of the party, j ti:
urging him to take the field, lie has j
consented, and he so stated to The I m
Charleston American tonight. ' ni
"I have discussed the proposition | bi
today." said Mr. lllease when asked j p(
about the matter, "with prominent I re
members of our party from different i si
parts of the State, and as a result of te
the dispatch in The Charleston Amer- j
ican this morning, 1 have received ^
messages from a large number of
members of our party who have,
through that source, learned of the g0
action taken by the central commit- q
tee. While I do not feel that I should
care, individually, to bear the burden
of another state campaign! and while nc
T feel that we have others that should
be put forward as leaders, I have a
come to the conclusion that it is my m
duty to obey the dictate of the com- ai
bined judgment of my party, and in ^
accordance therewith I will be a can- M
didate for governor on the reform
platform in the campaign of 1018.
"The committee that met here last 0?
night was empowered and instructed
to take such action as it believed C|1
to be for the best interest of the party,
and the members of that committee S;
have assured me not only by their
resolution, but personally, tbat thev
had determined, for the best interests F<
of the party, that I make the race
for governor.
"This states my position when taken
in connection with the platform
which I have announced in previous of
races. I hope that the campaign will t?
be free of bitterness and that it will 1"
be conducted on such a plane that it th
will have a tendency to promote the "W
best interest of all the people of our ci
state."?Charleston American. dr

Washington, Jan. 10.?After a two Vf
hours' executive session late today the ^1(
house rules committee adjourned u:itil
tomorrow without taking final ac- ^
tion on Representative Wood's resolution
for an investigation of rumors
of a "leak" in advance of President ilR
Wilson's peace note. Although mostjaf
of the Democratic members favor jca
abandoning the whole proceeding with (
an adverse report on the resolution, a ^
subcommittee was appointed to draft ^
contempt charges against Thomas W.
Lawson for use in case the committee
decides to report the Boston financier j
for refusing to give names in connection
with rumors he repeated.
When the committee adourncd
there was pending a resolution of
fered by Representative Campbell of "
Kansas (Republican) designed to ^,|
broaden the scope of the inquiry so .j
as to meet Mr. Lawson's objection
n (
that because the present investi<r?- ^
lion was preliminary and limited to ajar
specific "leak" he could not give th | names
of men high in official life who
j GC
he had heard were involved in a sy -! ^

FIGHT FOR "DRY' CAPITAL.
Advocates Confident of Favorable Action
in House.
Washington, Jan. 10.?The fight for
n "Hrv" nntinnnl woo +? ?!
ferred to the house today from the
senate, where the Sheppavd prohibition
bill for the District of Columbia
was passed late yesterday by a voce
of 55 to 32, Advocates of the measure
apparently are confident of favorable
action in the house.
As it goes to the house the bill
would abolish saloons in- the District
and prevent the manufacture or sale
of liauors within its limits, but would
not prohibit their import for personal
use. The measure would be affective
November 1, next.
One of the final acts of the senate
was to reject by a tie vote of 43 to
43 an amendment providing for referendum
of the prohibition questions to
citizens of the District.
When the senate bill was reported
to the house it was referred to the
District of Columbia committee house
leaders agreed it should be taken up
on the floor of the House as soon as
possible.
Friends of the bill are ready to force
its consideration hv a snecial rule if
the committee does not act withn a
reasonable time.
