 Brewton Standard Guage Cunningham
 has come out In a long address to the people announcing his candidacy for gov ernor and outlining his policy on public questions at issue. While Conner has not yet announced 1t is almost sure thing that he will make formal statement of
 his desire to be the states chief execu- tive. Both of these gentlemen are brainy men and either of them would make us a splendid governor. We withhold mak- ing our decision as to which of them we will favor for the reason that we realize that our support will figure greatly in determining the outcome of the race. In- fluence so weighty as ours should never be cast about without due deliberation and careful reflection hence we refrain from expressing our choice just yet.
