MEL GIVES LETTER
 FROM MIR. WILLIAMS
Indicates That Franklin County Man Has Changed His Mind on the
 GOvernOrship Race

while ] thought 1t likely in giving the list of Underwood county campaign man. agers in Alabama who are supporting Henderson for governor. might make an error or two." said R. E. l.. Niel as- paign. q never had the slightest Idea that a mistake could have been made in naming Travis Williams of Franklin county. was therefore, surprised to note his telegram to Colonel Garber. manager of the Conner campaign, in Sundays Age Herald. .>stating that he was for Conner
 '.Exercising the utmost care not to make an error. If it could possibly be avoided consulted the Henderson files at- the headquarters in Montgomery and wher it came to MT. Williams name I found a letter dated Russellville. January 1s 1914. addressed to MT. Henderson. and quote from 1t as follows:
 T am heartily in sympathy with youl candidacy and am ready to do anything can to assist you. hope tha we will be able to gvt some good mar to act as your campaign manager in this county and that an aggressive campaign will be made. Conner is the man you must aggressively fight and some aggressive work will have to be done if you carry this county. Please pardon me for writing rather plainly. but I am anxious to sec you carry this county fl you, can. and, quite as frankly, I think we have sufficiency of Conner in Ala bama politics.
 ''Of course Mir. Williams. with whom was associated exceec:ngly pleasantly in the Underwood campaign and to whose efforts in part was due, along with some 5000 other Alabamians. the splendid sue cess achieved. has the privilege of chang ing hIs mind, but I sincerely believe that on May Il the great democratic hosts ol Alabama will declare in no uncertain tones that they agree with his first as. serttion. that we have sufficiency oi Conner in Alabama psiNics.
 Incidentally, Franklin county is ons of the only two counties in Alabama ir which Mfr. Conner received bare ma. jority of votes in the democratic pri mary. having secured a majority of I out of total vote oe y53. Baldwin wal the other county. which. out of tota vote of 1oe6. gave MT.
