Brooks Lawrence Replies to Senator B. B.
 Conner
Announcement

For many years have fought side by side with Sen- ator Conner for prohibition. regret very much that after so many years of trusted comradeship in this the Senator should put the dollar mark before my motives. If there is principle for which have steadfastly stood in Alabama, that principle is hibton, and my adherence thereto needs defense. Senator Conner does not successfully challenge my exposure of MT. Lees anti-prohibtion record. The Senator may have known MT. Lee s'since he was lit tie boy" MT. Lee may have been good little boy. But Senator Conner at Montgomery very little dur ing the legislative sessions of the past four and after MT. Lee grew up. there almost every day. and again make the solemn declaration that Mr. Lee was prominent part of an active lobby constantly engaged in fighting the principles of pro- hibition in effort to bring the brewers back into Alabama through the passage of a Bevo near-beer bill.
 Political principles such have never seemed to dis turb Mr. Lee very greatly. They have only furnished him timely and opportune vehicles to transfer him to other and offices. Thus with every chang ing administration from Jelks to Kiby, under con- ditions now dry wet, Mir. Lee has never failed
