POLITICAL GOSSIP
 Walker County News: It's north Ala bamas time for filling the governors chair, and O'Neal is the peoples choice. | Walker County News: The wiregrass country is filled with oNeal enthusiasm this week and will remain so to the end of the campaign.
 centreville Press: The people are dis trustful of the men behind the Selma candidate. His supporters are some of the same men who have advocated ex- trerne legislation in the past, and there is every reason to believe that the same thing will continue if he should be elected.
 Clanton Banner: A vote for O'Neal means a safe and sane government that will not be controlled by the whlms and crotchets of any self-constituted guar dians of the people; a government that while upholding the honor and dignity of the state in every respect, will not at- tempt to limit in any way the liberty of the people.
 Dothan Journal: The people patiently await the ONealite defpition of conser- vatism ''-Montgomery Times.
 We thought the meaning of the word "conservatism'' was made clear in an election which was held about last No- vember % It is the same one the O'Neal supporters stood for then and stand for now However, If you can't understand, the people will explain 1t again in the next gubernatorial election.
 Sheffield Standard: The Mallory papers are repeating the tactics employed in the amendment campaign. They tell us that Mallory's strength is growing every day; that hundreds are deserting the ONea1 standard. This information would be more interesting were it more specific. Why don't they name some of the o'Neal deserters? It is simply an old political trick without any foundation in fact Wait and see If the Standard is not correct in its forecast of 25.oO0 ma jority for o'Neal.

Perhaps you can't call it to mind, but here it is; You know the amendists, that Is 8 majority of them. Brooks Lawrence included. said the fight is not ended we expect to keep It up to the last, leaving nothing un- turned. Now the question Is did they mean that they would elect an amend ment governor in order to help ous? Yes, of course that was it. Now the people have said no amendment nor any thing like 1t. You must admit that Mall lory is something like it, So we cannot afford to elect him for governor. Give us rest on the amendment scottsboro Citizen: The o'Neal forces are fighting in the open in this campaign. They do not dodge issues, nor straddle fences. They do not practice gum shoe politics nor create doubt as to where they stand.
 Like Colonel ONeal himself. they are waging a contest for a principle. That principle was enunciated in the last cam paign and the stamp of approval placed upon it by a majority of 27,000 of the sovereign white voters of Alabama. The ONeal forces will not recede one iota from the position they occupied last fall. | Some people who are now opposing the candidacy of Colonel O'Neal are praying that the ghost of the dead issue" shall sink down; but it stubbornly declines to | flo CD. hncause Mir Rrooka Lawrence has threatened to revive the corpse by in- ducting into office in this state men who were in line for the thing last fall.
