No Regrets Among Conservative
 Thinkers.

Inhnkefhs
 Brooklyn Eagle.
 The nature of the change attempted in organic law was so drastic that 1t aroused general apprehension. Per haps the vote does not mean that Ala barna is against a stoppage of the pub lie sale of spirits. That may not be made a reasonable conclusion from the action of the voters. They only showed themselves against what most states would regard as an absurd experiment.
 Incidentally the result seems to be the beginning of the end for the political prestige of Governor B. B. Conner. an energetic, uncompromising and rather truculent local statesman who has been in the limelight for several years. and whose attitude toward the Federal courts in the mat ter of railroad rates will not be for gotten. Conner was tied up with the success or failure of this amendment If he Is forced out of public life, as is likely. there will be no regrets among conservative thinkers, either within or outside the limits of Alabama
