A strong-an exceedingly strong Cunningham sentiment Is making itself l felt in Sumter county It Is a con- servative county-one not given to vagaries and wildness. the sort of county that doesn't exactly grow en- thusiastic over Mir Corners kind of a campaign.

 It is said that these pledges have been dictated by MT. Corners campaign l committee through his friends in va rlous counties. But they. were not passed around In Sumter county.
 In days that are gone 1t was not thought the right thing to do-to go Tn bound down with pledges. In those days man made his race on his mer- its and took his stand and cast his vote as his conscience dictated. But now it wouldn't seem that the times are so out of joint that a man in a rural county of Alabama must tie him. self up with pledges to a Birrntng- ham committee before he can be per mltted to go to the Legislature It Is not nice thing to think about this demanding and giving pledges. But the blight of that sort of dicta- tion has not laid hold of Sumter coun- tvs political affairs
 And when dictation is mentioned in Alabama politics only one name sug- gests itself That name is not the name of Cunningham.
 NIT. CurPs Views.
 A A. Curl. a prominent citizen of York, looking over the situation to- day, said
 Do you know this campaign for Governor reminds me very much of the Hobson Bankhead race for Con- gress? At the outset everything look ed like Bankhead. Bankhead had won before and the sentiment seemed to fa- vor him until about a week before tho primary IL was discovered then that the great uncommitted vote was 1i9- ing up with Hohson. The same thing. it looks like, Is happening now. That's the way l see 1t. The sentiment has been changing In the same way and believe that the result is going to be the same that the man who was be- lievod 10 be behind Is going to turn up In the lead
 At Cuba Today.
 Cunningham met with a pleasant surprise He found the sentiment there was overwhelmingly in his favor. He had not been led to expect this.

CUNNINGHAM SENTIMENT
 CROWS IN SUMTER COUNTY

Folks are not taking much stock in the Governors race" At this period there doesn't seem to be much interest l. the Conner r-Cunningham contest. Certainly not, when compared to the fervid Hobson- -Bankhead fight. But the interest will all come in due time.
 Lieutenant Govern : Cunningham was in the vegetable country today. the country which Hes about York and Cuba At both places he was warmly received and at both places he de- livered effective campaign speeches. He goes tomorrow to Livingston for his third speech in Sumter county and from Livingston he will pass over in Greene county to speak at Eutaw. The physician candidate Is immensely pleased. The prospect he sees before him is altogether encouraging.
 Situation MisrepreAented.
 The situation has been misrepresent- ed to him. not only by his political ene- mics but by some of his political friends. Communities which have been represented to him as overwhelmingly for his opponent he has found to be friendly and cordial to his candidacy as well as fruitful in pledges for him. There seemed a month ago to be a general error that Mr. Conner was as strong as he was three years ago when he was elected President of the Rail- road Commission. The error is a rad tcal one-no well informed man. No

Looked On An oon,.-,.

This section of Sumter county. the south end, had been looked upon as Conner ground. It was that three years ago, and according to common error 1t was thought to be Conner territory when this campaign began. But three years bring many changes. especially when public man only makes prom ises and on the strength of those prom ises offers for another office. It is suf- ficient to say that 1t is not Conner ter. ritory now. not by a whole lot
 Ex-Governor Joseph F. Johnston, candidate for senatorial succession, was in Cuba today and present at the meeting. He addressed the crowd when Dr. Cunningham had completed his speech.
 The speaking was in the school house and a large crowd was present pr. Cunningham was presented to the au- dience by Chairman Seals of the Sum ter County Executive Committee. En- outraged by the Cunningham senti- ment by the friendliness of the crowd. the Lieutenant Governor made a stir ring address
 Sincerity and frankness are distin- gushing characteristics of Dr. Cum ningham. The aattempts of Mir, Conner and his friends to make 1t appear that Cunningham was a band wagon rider that he left old political affiliations to jump on a popular Issue, are dissi- pated by Dr. Cunningham's convincing argument like mist before the sun, His long record in public life is studd- ed with incidents which show his faithful allegiance to the idea that railroads should be controlled. that being created and operated under he law they should be subject to the law His record is rich in proof that he stood for mandatory railroad com mission instead of an advisory com mission long before Mir. Conner began his efforts 70 get lower rates oa the stuff to and from his Avendale cotton mills and his Birmingham grocery house
 RRn Into Conference.
 Dr. Cunningham and ex-Governor Johnston came to York tonight when they ran into a district conference being held at the Methodist church. They refused to en-ar into compe- tition with the church conference and called off the SD .lllIns announ :cd for tonight But a number of the voters with a number of ladies wanted to hear them and they agreed to speak after the conference
 It was well after o'clock before the conference adjourned. Still a small crowd assembled at the large school house some distance away and 1t was duuTSSSeQ pN the QlStlnBulSneQ NlSl- tors. Each spoke little more than thirty minutes.
 Speaking of York Beat Dr. R H. Hale said tonight: Tt has been sup posed that this is a Corner beat. but that's wrong. There has been marked change here. The Conner sen timent predominated here some months ago, but now. I would say speaking conservatively, that the beat at this time is very nearly evenly divided There are 11S voters in the beat and I should say that each candidate for governor has half. But the election Is more than two months off and the same changes that have been going on in the past two or three months are stlll at work"

 On the fifth day of the sixth nl6nth, the same being Jamaz- z-uhl-Awwal. A. H. 1924, the hegira will take place. To the uninitiated, the date will be Wednesday. June 27, 1906, but for the benefit of Those Who Know, the for mer phrasing Is used. Accompanying the pilgrims of the desert will be sev- enty-five tyros. who will proceed to the place of sacrifice, where the impend- ing doom awaits.
 The program arranged for the trip Is one full of the promise of entertain- ment and pleasure-for the initiated. For the tyros the program holds prom ise. also but a promise of other things There will be hot sands for them to cross, and burning ploughshares; there will be the tigers claws. and other things unquestionable.

 Washington, June 2l.-(Special l--S There is every indication that a lively fight will take place in the House when the sundry civil appropriation bill goes into conference on account of the action of the Senate in order ing an amendment setting apart $1.- 450,00O for the Jamestown exposition.
 Opponents of the enterprise are aI- ready organizing to defeat the propo- sition. Even Minority Leader Will Hams is opposed to the exposition ap- propriation. He has during his con- gressional career invariably opposed Government aid to expositions. Speak CT Cannon Is also violently against the exposition and so is MT. Gardner of Massachusetts, chairman of the House expositions committee, but the chances are the House will have to completely back down and as usual surrender to the Senate, for the James town affair Is a popular one. It has support from all sections of the coun- try and the influence of President Roosevelt is also behind 1t.
