STATE ELECTION

! l-------.---...--..---
Admission Hot Blast: The host of defeat
ed candidates should all go to work now
to build up the states resources.
Troy Messenger: Conner carried Mont
gomery county by q majority Too bad
that the Advertiser couldn't carry its own
county.
Roanoke Leader: The crop of candidates
is disposed of In good time for us farm
ers to take care of our crop of fodder,
corn and cotton.
Alabama Beacon: The candidates all did
their best and 1t is no fault of theirs that
some were left behind Now we and they
shall go back to the humdrum of ordinary
life.
Cul1man Democrat: All the democratic
houses and nine months school in every
locality. If they don't give them to you,
kick
Montgomery Advertiser Mr.. Conner
seems to have won out in Alabama" ven
lures the Albany Herald. "seems'-the
deuce! By the same token, Hoke seems
to have won out in Georgia.
DeKalb Record Hobson knocked Bank
head out of the House of Representatives
into the Senate. His Merrimac perform
ance was of a similar nature. The Span
| iards came out all the same.
Greenville Living Truth Friends of ed
ucation watch B. B. Corners adminstra-
ton, keep your eye closely upon him and
see if he is not as true friend as the
states educational interests ever had
Gadsden Journal: The remarkable sup
port accorded John H. Bankhead in all
parts of the state may be in the nature
of a rebuke to the Sixth district In dis
carding SO able and faithful represent
tative to make room for the ambitions
of another.
Elba Clipper: DR.. Russell M. Cunning
ham made a great race; the odds against
him were simply too great. He Is not
warped widowed, decayed or wind
shaken, but remains splendid gubernator-
ial timber. that Alabama will begin to
use four years hence.
Fort Payne Journal: The men and news
papers who supported Mr.. Conner. in most
instances, have no harsh words to regret
or to wish unspoken. They treated DR..
Cunningham with courtesy and still re-
spect him. The other fellows probably
have nothing to regret. either, for they
are of the sort that never become wise
enough to discover that they have said
or done anything that fairminded man
ought to wish undone or unsaid.
| Centreville Press; The likenesses of the
different candidates for office, that have
been appearing in the different papers of
the state will now be securely wrapped,
with a piece of plotting paper to absorb
the tears, properly labeled and laid away.
| There may come a time when some will
be hunted up and again flashed upon the
public as young and gay as ever. But
some will never be removed from the
grave that they have been consigned.
Marion Standard: After one of the hard
est fought, and we might add. one of the
cleanest campaigns in so far as personal
tiles is concerned, Mr.. Conner comes under
the wire winner over Cunningham by
10000 majority. The genial doctor is to be
congratulated in that he reduced the ma
jority claimed by some of Mr.. Corners
leaders some forty or fifty thousand.
which is high proof of his ability and in
fiuence. and had he been able to have
returned, as Mr.. Conner did, and made
more diligent search we believe that the
ten thousand majority would have been
reduced to number that would have
easily given him the governorship.
Atmore Spectrum: The election is over
and we take off our hats to the victors.
We were on the losing side from governor
to representative but believe in and adj
vocate majority rule. A majority of the
democrats of Alabama and Escambia
county by their ballots have named others
than our choice as the nominees for gov
ernor of Alabama and representative from
Escambia county We bow In humble sub
mission, and will lend of our time AMI
talent to assure their election In Noven-
Der. after which we will watch with in
terest the work of those who have been
chosen as leaders by the people. and when
possible will lend helping hand, looking
to the upbulding of the state and county
! Baldwin Times: Without an organiza-
ton or a campaign fund, DIR. Cunningham
has just closed one Of the most remarka-
BILE campaigns ever known In this state.
Lone handed he stood his ground and in a
| dignified manner waged his campaign. He
maintained a lofty position always: and
comes out of this fray a stronger man
than ever. The second sober and more
intelligent thought will come to the people,
and then It will be that Russell NJ Cum
ningham will be in demand and called
upon to again undertake to champion the
cause he has so ably represented. and to
which he Is unalterably pledged Alabama
will yet need DR.. Cunningham, and that
before the questions of this campaign are
finally disposed Of
