Voters Want to Put Off Beginning of Campaign
 Until Next Spring
KILBY AND BRANDON
 OFTEN MENTIONED
These Two Men in the Eyes of the Voters Are Leading ExpOnents of Two Factions in
 the State
By FRED IT. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, May H.-(SpeciaI )-De- spite frantic efforts of certain persons in political life to create interest in the state campaign more than one year ahead of the primary election absolutely no in- terest is being shown by voters in south Alabama. This fact was shown this week in tour of south Alabama made by the capital representative of The Bir- mingham Age-Herald and Harry M Ayers of -Annston, president of the Ala bama Press association and publisher of the Anniston Star and Hot Blast.
 The majority of voters, the farmers, have too many other things to discuss now. They are making effort to get away from the it-'ll-do idea of the cotton crop system of farming and to put them selves on basis where they may care for their own interests and aid the nation in the war. They do not want to discuss politics and if politics is mentioned the inyariable answer is: We have not thought of it. and will not until next year."
 WILL NOT TALK POLITICS
 In the tour every phase of farm life from the growing of peanuts to the pack ing of meat at the huge packing plant at Andalusia was seen and discussed but not a public man was active or even ready to discuss politics. An effort was made to obtain suggestions of leaders about when the campaign should be started and practically every suggestion was that nothing whatever should be done until next spring
 Even with this lethargy, the names of Thomas E. Kilby, prohibitionist, and Will liam w. Brandon, local optionist were frequently mentioned as being the strong est men in the race. While Mir Brandon has not announced his friends take it for granted that he will be a candidate at the proper time. When the campaign does open it will be seen that Mir. Kilby has

The average person has no idea of
the demands made on newspapers for
space for the publication of articles
of varying nature. Some of it is Of
a news nature, while some is intended
to secure free advertising for some
private or public enterprise in the
guise of reading matter. Enough of
this class of matter reaches this Of
fee every week to fill a paper twice
the size of The News, and we sup
pose the same thing is happening in
other newspaper Offices. Newspapers,
especially small town newspapers,
give away thousands of dollars worth
of their space free every year to
help somebody boost something, and
oftentimes-probably most generally
the work Of these papers is not ap-
preciated. If any kind of enterprise
is undertaken the newspaper is called
upon to devote its space free of
charge to bring the matter before the
attention of the public, and then when
the subscription paper is passed
around the publisher is not forgotten,
but is called upon to contribute of
his cash also. 4 newspapers space
is its stock in trade-it IS what the
paper has to sell, the same as the
groceryman has his sugar and coffee,
the hardware merchant his stock Of
nails, etc Certainly if you were get
ting up public donation you wouldn' t
ask the merchant to contribute
something from his stock of goods
and then go round and ask cash do
nation in addition. But that is just
what is happening every day IN
country newspaper Offices, and II
most cases the publishers come
across for they don'tZlkie to be
considered tight wads. : Last week
this newspaper devoted more than
half a column Of space to the county
fair at Fayetteville. It was sent II
by the secretary of the fair assoei-
alton, and was an advertisement pure
and simple, possessing little value as
an item of rev. The day after the
paper was printed the publisher was
solicited to contribute something tow
ards the payment of premiums to be
offered school students for displays
at the fair. The directors of the
fair association would doubtless be
considerably surprised if We asked
them to give The News free write
up in their catalogue, but Of course,
we have no more idea Of doing this
than did the directors of asking this
paper to bid OF the printing of the
catalogues.
