 spread Feeling
By l.. F. BETTY

Montgomery. June M.-(Speeial.l- l-opin- ion generally prevails in Montgomery to the effect that John H. Bankhead is sub ordinating the interests of Oscar ". Un- derwood to that of the Bankhead family. There Is also a general belief that the time has come for Bankhead to make good his promise. when he declared on the floor of the state democratic con- vention in Montgomery: Sacrifice me, if necessary, but do nothing, to injure the cause of Underwood"
 Since the announcement that William B. Bankhead, the son of Senator Bankhead, had been selected to nominate Oscar Un- derwood for President of the United States, there has been heard general protest from state officials and from many prominent citizens of Montgomery. Many expressions have been heard to the effect that the selection of Mir Bankhead for this important office is calculated to do great injury to Underwood's cause, and the conviction obtains that the end sought after is far too important to risk his chances for the qualification of any per sonal aims or ambition.

May Get Up Petition

May Get Up Petition
 The protest against having William B. Bankhead make the nomination has as- stunned such proportions as to cause much talk of a petition by the state delegates asking Underwood to use his influence to have some one else chosen for this im- portant office. It Is reported in MontgoW- cry, particularly in official circles, that should this petition not be presented to Underwood, the state delegates will ask that some one else be delegated. either by Underwood or by the states representa- lives at the Baltimore convention, to make the nomination.
 According to several prominent dele gates from this section to the Balti- more convention. the selection of MT, Bankhead to make the nomination speech is taken as an indication that Senator Bankhead, as the manager Of Underwood's campaign, does not think Alabama has in the list of 4s dele gates selected a man qualified to place Underwood's name before the conven- tion. It has been pointed out that Governor O'Nea1, Congressman lief lin, Congressman Clayton, John R. Knox. H. S. D Mallory and others are eminently qualified for the important task of nominating Underwood and that the selection should have fallen to the lot of one of these delegates, or to someone else who is a member of the state delegation.
 Time for Personal Sacrifice
 Montgomery delegates to the national convention believe that the time has come for Senator Bankhead to make some per sonal sacrifices. They maintain that Un- derwood's best interest cannot be con served by the practice of nepotfsm; that the people of the state. who have put Underwood forth as their candidate. have a right to demand that his campaign be conducted in such a manner as will assure the greatest possibility of success. and that no matter how much they. re- spect Senator BanlShead, that feeling should not allow them to indorse any plans which are calculated to weaken Underwood's prospects.
 They believe that the time has come for a general protest from the state at large, and there is every indication that they will be among the first to interpose serious objection to the programme as announced by Senator Bankhead
 It is understood that Senator Bank head will be candidate for chairman of the Alabama delegation, and that he will seek place on the platform com mittee Other honors may be sought, but delegates from Montgomery are re- solved to make strenuous fight for a more equal distribution of convention offices and for a programme that will assure the promotion of Underwood's s hest chances
