NJ Cunningham, OF Ensiey. former
lieutenant governor and defeated can
didate for chief executive, have en-
tered the race for delegates to the
national convention of the democratic
party at Denver. All of which indi-
Gates that there Is going to be oppo-
sition to the present state admins
tration and to the effort to take over
the delegation for the NebraSkan. Per
cy is from the Ninth district Cum
ningham from the state at large.
Mr.. Percy, who is attorney for one
of the large Birmingham corporations,
has been in the attitude of opposing
Mr.. Bryan for some time, and it IS
thought that his announcement means
a lining up of the anti-Bryan forces
in the interest of some other man,
poss IDLY Governor Johnson of Mime
sofa. A petition to have the name
of Governor Johnson go on the ticket
to be voted at the May Is primary
has been circulated in some parts Of
the state, though not in Montgomery.
DR.. Cunningham, while possibly not
lining up against Governor Conner, is
surely not in love with the present
status of the party organization, and
he may be a party to an effort to get
delegates to the national convention
uninstructed. He is very popular all
over the state and it is quite sure that
he will poll a large vote Tor delegate
at1arge.
This makes the race a very lively
one in not only the state but Jeffer-
son county as we'll. Already an
nounced for the state positions are
John w. Tomlinson, the recognized
Bryan leader in Alabama; ]. Thomas
Hefiin and Henry d. Clayton, congress
men, and Z. w. Booker. In the ninth
district Mr.. Percy will have the op-
position of Sam Will John, admin IS
tration leader in the lower house; w
T. Kennedy and ]. G. Oakley.
