He also stated that Governor Conner has; been asked to name Ala bAma's member of the platform com mittee.
 Governor Conner at the same time is- sued formal statement in which he said he accepted the Thigh honor and privilegev of naming one-half of the delegation and the member of the plat form committee and gave assurance that he would name Representative citizens who will have only in view the best interests of the, people, the preser- vation of our laws and the protection of the people"
 Mir. Tunstalrs statement .reiterates Senator Underwood's attitude toward the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment as expressed in his speeches and in his letter to Dr. W. B.

I, am opposed to light wines and beer or any other modifca- tion whatsoever. Since Senator UN- tlerwood has already announced that his campaign committee would name che convention delegates in case of in Tunskall states that in the selection of tlis haIf which Will now b6 chosen by tl36 cofniniftee ssH will use fny best jen- deavofs towards the xeIet ttion of gentle men who entertain the same views" Formal Stateuieuts
 The statements of Mr. Tunstall and Governor Conner, were issued simul- taneonsly. That of Mir. Tunstall is as follows: s'sz% s.To The Democrats of Alabama, Senator Underwood stated that if he carries the state in the primary, that his campaign committee, com posed in. part of Governors Conner, Jelks, Henderson, Kilby, Brandon, Dr. Crumpton, Judge Denson, and of which I am chairman, would name the dele gates to the convention. I have been many times asked my views in the pre- misses and think it my duty to publish same. fs.
 Senator Underwood in his address to the Alabama legislature July S1, 1923, declared that the eighteenth afnendment--called the prohibition amendnent--was the supreme law and that he would enforce it in it's entire integrity. In his letter. to Dr. Crump- ton he Said that the cry that is being made in favor of light wines and beer does not meet with my approval, that he stood for an honest, just and true enforcement of the law of the land as the prohibition amendment is today.
 1T have discussed this matter with most of the members of Senator Un- derwood's campaign committee, and an overwhelming majority of the commit tee are in full accord with the view of Senator Underwood herein expressed, and it is their purpose to see that the delegation goes to the convention in complete accord as to the enforcement of the prohibition law.
 Favors Full Enforcement
 Personally I favor the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment 50 that it will accomplish the purposes, for which it was adopted .s I am opposed to light wines and beer or any other
