B. B. Conner, Governor Jelks, I Congressman Underwood and others | spoke.
 Why were you not there?" the doc l tor was asked. After a moments he's itation, as though he was trying to decide whether or not he ought to talk fory publication. he said:
 T regret very much that I was un- able to attend. I received very pressing invitation from the Masonic lodge but I felt compelled to decline the invitation, partly because my pro- fessional work is taking up consider able of my time and also because l have made it a rule not to accept any l engagements to make speeches during this month and the next l am booked for two or three though, but l really | should have refused them. l am not | talking politics at the present time. When was told that you wanted to see me I thought 1t was patient. in fact am thinking of very little else just now"
 After a temporary Aggression from the subject the doctor raised his hand for silence and went on:
 Another thing, I had no idea that the meeting Wednesday at Blount Springs was to be political anair. l thought it was to be fraternal gath ering, pure and simple, arranged under the auspices of the Masons and Odd
 Fellows for the purpose of holding family tea party"
 Suppose you had known that 1t was to be made into a political gathering would you have attended and made speech?"
 "No, sir, not on a Masonic occasion" replied ,Dr. Cunningham. "On Ma
 sonic occasion I am going to talk Ma sorry and at a political meeting l am going to talk politics. l don't think
 politics should be talked at Masonic gathering, and if had gone there l don't think would have talked on any
 political question. When the time comes will do that. In all my speak
 ing throughout the State during the
 past few months on the cause of edu- cation have always studiously avoid
 ed politics, and I am going to continue | to avoid it until the proper time comes.
 Then I will discuss fully and freely all
 the political questions of the day:

 Pointing a finger impressively to the top of a book shelf, on which lay
 book apparently of newspaper clip-
 pings. he remarked:
 "There is the record" Continuing he
 said: They will show how I stand | now and how have stood on the mat ter of the Railroad Commission since
 1880. In that book Is consistent record
 for all law necessary to give the Rall-
 road Commission power to egulate rates, and beginning with 1896, for an elective Railroad Commission" Do you still believe now as you be-
 lieved then?" was the next question
 asked. .r
 T do," he replied.
 How are you on educational ques-
 tions and would you appropriate much
 money for this purpose and do you
 agree with Governor Jelks when he
 says that he will recommend that the
 $750,000 surplus be given over to the
 educating of the massesY' l In reply ne SalQ. lOu OuBHt Io
 know as well as l do the sore need for education in this State. I would cer- tainly do all in my power to educate the children throughout the State l think the State Is to be congratulated that there is a sufficient surplus in the Treasury to authorize an additional ap- propriation for the common schools" Boy Seriously Cut.
