 A few days after the primary cleo ton Governor Gray of Birmingham saw me and said that Mir Long had requested him to see me and ask for my vote In response. I told Governor Gray that I intended to vote for MT. Long for the reason that he had man. aged the amendment campaign and the ONeal campaign, and that it seemed to me that the election of Long as speaker of the house would be just one more election to destroy what we anti-prohibitionists called fanaticism in Alabama. I added. however. that l was making a sacrifice of money, time, convenience and comfort to go to the legislature ana would ike to knOW what treatment I would receive at the hands of MT. Long in the matter of committee assignment. Governor Grey said that was perfectly correct In looking out for myself and for me to write MT. Long. adding that he was going to tell MT Long to take care of me and one other member from Jeff ferson, whose name he called.
 According to advice received from Governor Grey. wrote MT. Long, con- graduated him on the victory just won and said that I intended to vote for him. and wanted him to take care of me-that.I wanted to be chairman of some important committee, and thus be in position to do something for my county and the state, and at tho same time receive that recognition which I thought I would be entitled to. I received beautiful reply to my letter, but nothing definite as to what committee he intended giving me- saw him twice afterward in Montgom- cry and still received no promise of a committee chairmanship l saw from the papers that he was in Birming- ham perhaps q dozen times, but he never honored me with a visit, not withstanding the fact that my office is on the ground floor of conspicuous
