Mrs. Carter, immediately notified
the sheriff and the body of the husband was found in the rest room
after the door had been broken
down by the authorities. Beside
him was a .22 calibre f if lei which
he had obviously used in the slaying and suicide.
Officers said in reconstructing
the case, that Cunningham had
come to the home at about 7:40 to
obtain some of his possessions,
among them a shotgun and rifle.
He had sent the' three children outside and then did the shooting. Tho
children were playing in the yard
when the police arrived. Mrs. Cunningham and her children were to

Potter Aims To Unseat
Senate Appointee Moody
Congressman Charles E. Potter,
of Cheboygan, candidate for the
Republican nomination of United
States Senator, is waging an old-
fashioned, down-to-earth, grass
roots campaign throughout Michigan that may make a new form of
political history before election
day.
He is launched on a complete
tour of the State, with countless
stops along his itinerary, to ring
doorbells, shake hands with the
voters, and tell them where he
stands on the issues.
All this is in addition to a
scheduled three speeches a day,

ances. He will interrupt his schedule, however to appear in Congress
at Washington, for roll-calls on
critical issues.
"I believe the issues a.rc so important and the times so critical."
Rep. Potter said, "that I propose
to make my campaign for U. S.
Senator the most all-inclusive and
omnibus in the history of State
campaigning, Anything less, in my
judgement, would be less than the
voters are entitled to receive.
"The' pressure of affairs in Washington, particularly with the
House Un-American Activities
Committee, of which I am a member made it impossible for me to
commence my campaign as quickly as I wanted to, but now that I
have been able to leave Washington'I'm'going to make up for that
lost time by hard work. I want to
shake hands with as many Michigan voters, and tell them how I
feel, as is humanly possible to do
between now and August 5."
