ENSLEY COUNCIL TONIGHT

Ensley, March S1.-(Special) )-Dr. R.. M. Cunningham, whose name has been frequently mentioned as a possible candidate for governor, gave out state ment this morning defining his position in the matter. His many friends are urging him to make the race, but he was non- committal His statement is as follows:
 Tt appears to me that it is entirely too soon to announce for governor or to ask the people to commit themselves to vote for anyone for governor, as the issues have not been clearly defined and new is- sues may arise.
 Asncere man will stand by his con- vietions of what is best for the state and not what is best for his candidacy. These same remarks apply to the voter as well as the candidate It seems to me, therefore, that issues and candidates should all be before the people before the people line up."
