modification whatsoever. In the nam- ing of delegates, will use my best en- deavors towards the selection of gentle men who entertain the same views and have asked Governor Conner to name at least half of the delegation and also to name the member of the platform committee. A, NJ. TUNSTALL." Governor Corners Statement
 The statement made by Governor Conner is as follows:
 'To the citizens of Alabama, both ladies and men, voters alike, and all alike responsible that their best efforts should be for the good of the state:
 II am a member of the Underwood campaign committee in his candidacy for President of the United States {; was named a member because of my known fondness and admiration for him. I knew Senator Underwood best when serving with him in Washington as junior senator under Governor Kill by's appointment. skF
 best sfenfesensati tie ssgritii siad. at- tentive to every duty, watchful of ev- cry interest, ready In every debate--- the ideal minority leader, and I am sure would make an ideal President. Frenqnentiy we have not agreed on policies but like me his convictions are always sincere and rendered as he thought in the interest of the people.
 'Dr. Crumpton believes in the in- tegrity of his statements regarding the eighteenth amendment, the VOlstead act and his anti-saloon position. Wit messing, as I frequently did, the sin cerity of his. conduct, much more than Dr. Crumpton, am sure of his po- sition on these matters and unhesitat- ingly indorse his candidacy and would advise the citizens that, so far as Ala bama can help, to do it.
 Acceptance Of Law ~@
 He is antagonized by sundry par ties and interests and, if you recall, so was l, and yet in every equity of citi- zenship, did my best for every inter- , est ofeevery description thIt the eco- monies of it might advance and as sure so has Senator Underwood. It is un- righteous to expect unlawful partisan ship for any one class or to expect that mans general views should coincide with the general views ef everybody else. It is well to consider that after 6 principle has been threshed out and becomes a law that it is then in eumbsnt upon every good citizen alike tu aCE~k IT as IHn1kneu IdcC ana this is the embodiment of the Under wood principle.
 Tho Underwood committee hns as- signed me the Fers high privilege of naming one-half of the delegation to thg democratic convention and the member of the platform committee In assuming this high honor and privi- lege, assure those believing in our policies and politics that I will name representative citizens who will only have in view the best interests of the people, the preservation of our laws and the protection of the people. As every variety of propaganda is being spread, great many distracting things being said and being done. would suggest to all citizens that in the full ilment of your electoral duties it is a great honor to be even suggested, much more so to be elected, as President of the United States and now that Ala bama has citizen whom great many people out of the state believe worthy. how much more sOe we, as his fellow citizens in, our own state, should put aside all cavilling as to minor differ ences and give him universal support
