Alabama politics in 1907 race shaped by railroad rates
Alabama faces a heated political season as the next legislature will elect two U S Senators and pick a new governor. B B Comer leads the rail rate reform faction while Rh M Cunningham, the lieutenant governor, pushes for railroad regulation. Comer’s backers doubt Cunningham’s support, and a gubernatorial bid by Comer is anticipated. The 1907 legislature will likely see Senate vacancies affecting the governor’s term.
