Montgomery, June 25.-(Special.)- Of
tho most noticeable features of the po-
litical situation in the state at this time
is the lack of definite purpose on the
part of the men most frequently mem
toned in the gossip, or at least the alb
sence of expression as to their designs
upon the commonwealth or subdivisions
thereof. Lieutenant Governor Cunning
ham is the only man thus far fully ac-
quilted to his course, his aspiration for
governorship having been known for
some time. Mr.. Conner has been pretty
positive about denying a report that he
will not run for governor, which may be
regarded good evidence that he will, and
Bankhead and Hobson are flirting with
the congressional lassie in the Sixth,
though so desperately as to make it very
plain that they are both going to try to
win her smiles for the next term time.
Oliver of Tuscaloosa, and Rodgers, of
Sumter, are also making eyes at the
same girl, though 30 ar from some dis
lance away. For some reason the Sixth
district has more prospects than any
other of the nine. and it will not be a
surprise If there are four or five start
ers.
l saw Lieutenant Governor Cunning
ham twice last wee, and on both oe-
easions he was the personifieation of con-
fidence and good humor. The first time
was Tuesday morning and the place one
of those comfortable dining cars of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad He had
been to Biloxi and Mobile and was we'll
pleased with the world.
How goes the race for governor; will
you make it," was asked. Fine, my
boy, fine. All the symptoms are indiea-
tive of a victory, and being a doctor
you know l make up my diagnosis from
symptoms. The people tell me they want
me everywhere l go, and those doing the
talking seem to be in earnest about it"
He reached out and sawed off a piece
of fish and continued. ''Had a good time
While away. Everybody seemed glad to
see me. How are the boys at the capt.
tai? With that he drifted off into gen
eral topics. He came up Saturday night
from Ramar, where he had made an add
dress at a Masonic celebration and stop
ped over going to Demopols for a Ma
sonic assembly tomorrow. ! woke him up
at 1890 p. M to ask what he was after

POLITICAL GOSSIP HEARD
AT THE ALABAMA CAPITOL
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

He said he was busy filling the calls upon
him. and was having mighty good time
while he was about it.
Mr.. Conner has not been here Tor several
days so far as is generally known. lie
comes three or four times month to
look over the railroad commission mail,
but was kept pretty close at home last
week on account of the illness Of his
daughter, Miss Bevelie Conner.
An interesting rumor, born no one
knows where has it that many of his
friends have intimated to him that they
want him to remain at the head of the
railroad commission and let the governor
ship alone. This is in line with the
sentiment, very strong, which would en-
courage him to exhaust all the possi-
bilities of the office he now holds before
going out after another. The belief is
quite general that the farmer-miller,
who now heads the railroad commission,
would much rather rest for the nonce
on the laureIs won, and try to accom-
plish something, than enter into new
contest in which some of his strongest
friends and supporters are bound TO be
found fighting against him.
The real force in the Conner boom for
governor is likely to found more in the
ambition OF one or two oil his supporters
for advancement than any desire Mr..
Conner may have himself to warm the
big gubernatorial armchair. He is known
to be averse to campaigning and to de-
sire to do something on his rate making
programme that will count, but it is
thought that some of his friends are
crowdng the governorship race over him.
Many believe, for reasons more selfish
than patriotic. If this is a fact the early
brushes of the campaign will develop 1t
and the strength of the candidate will be
greatly abated as result. Mr.. Conner
is not much of a fellow to seek a place
in another's band wagon, and he will
quite likely, after all, take the bit In his
teeth and do as he pleases when the time
comes for decision.
=.
The candidates for state offices will be
selected by a primary Notwithstanding
more or less talk OF a return to the con-
vention Nobody openly advocates con-
vention and it is hardly accurate to say
that any great number of the politicians
themselves would again take it up If they
had a chance. 1t is known that at the
state convention here in May 1901, there
was talk of Offering n resolution to go
back to conventions for selecting candi-
dates, but IT died at that, one or two
of the leaders giving notice that they
would fight 1t to the bitter end. So its n
safe guess that the primary VIII be used
and in favor next year and for several
years to come.
