GIVES HIS REASONS
FRANKLY, 1 am rather inclined to think
that will not be candidate. There arc
several reasons. One of them, the princi-
pal reason. is that 1 am not financially
able to conduct state campaign. have
lust been elected TO serve my tenth term
in Congress, and 1 have had nine hard
fights to make for the 10 terms. Those
who remember will know that L have
been elected each time by narrow mar
gin. my second election being contested
by my opponent.
"There is another reason. My first
cousin, Judge w. w. Brandon of Tusca-
loosa, is being mentioned for the race,
and probably will run. In case he does,
then l am sure that will not get in"
When asked if he would retire from
politics In the event he was elected to
the governorship, Colonel Burnett stated
that he would. Asked If he would retire
to private life after serving this term in
Congress, he declined to say, stating that
while he desired to take up the practice
of law again, he was under no obligation
to retire from public life at the end OF
his term He said ne had promised his
they gave him no opposition in the recent
primary. but that since he had opposi-
ton he felt that he was under no obliga-
lions to do so.
With the announcement of Lieutenant
Governor Thomas e. Kilby of Anniston'
and the probable announcement OF Joha
H. Wallace and Judge Brandon, there
are already four prospective candidates
for the gubernatorial race.
BELLENGER MAY RUN
Aside from the probable announcement
of Con gresham Burnett, Gadsden is
planning TO enter a candidate for lieu
tenant governor. This man Is found in
Gadsden's former mayor, w. G. Bellen-
ger. Local politicians and friends of the
former mayor are urging him to consider
making the race, and he has promised
to take the matter under Amusement ana
make known his decision at later date.
Like Congressman Burnett, Mr.. Bellen-
ger thinks this too early in the game to
get in the race, or to make definite
decision He also declined to make a
statement, but admitted that he was con-
sidering the matter upon the advice and
persistency of friends.
Mr.. Bellenger is one of the best known
men in this section, and has large corps
Of supporters, who are convinced that he
is the man to represent this section of
the state, and are equally confident that
in the event of his entering, he will be
able to make a strong showing
William F. Feagin, state superintendent
of education, is the only Gadsden MAJ
to have held state office at Montgom-
cry. Since it has become the ambition
of this section to have representation at
the state capitol, local politicians have
settled upon the two men mentioned to
put into the next race, and in the event
either, or both, decide to enter the con-
test, they are planning to back them and
| lend their influence.
