Intemperance of His State
ment Almost Universally
Condemned at Capital
_•
EVINS SEES EARLY
VOTE ON CLAYTON
Just Back From Washington and Be
lieves Barbour County Man
Will Be Seated—Race
* for Governor
By li. S. BETTY
( Montgomery. September H.—(Special.)
By far the paramount development In
state politics during the past week was
Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson’s at
tack upon Governor O’Neal—an attack
which has been condemned on all sides,
and which has been characterized as
r undignified in the extreme, vitupera
tive to the degree of vulgarity, and so
• audacious as te leave little room for
\ doubt that a deliberate insult was Im
plied.
Captain Hobson’s statement has been
X the sole subject of talk in capitol circles
since /t was given to the press Thurs
day afternoon. The utterances of the
[ peerless hero of the Merrlmac fell like
a storm, and occasioned not only sui
P prise, but extreme indignation. Heads
of departments who have never been
classed as administration men openly
^ condemned the author of the statement,
while the friends and advisers of the
governor denounced Captain Hobson in
the strongest possible terms, comparing
him to the bully and the street fighter.
Everybody knew that the governor
would answer Captain Hobson, though
not upon the same plane. They de
clared that the Merrimac hero had
t thrown a fine card If he wished to end
the controversj’, maintaining that ths
dignity of his office, let alone his own
personal standards, would^prevent the
.governor from pursuing similar tactics
in replying to the latest attack upon
him.
It is generally agreed- that Captain
r Hobson has done himself ir'reparable
injury in his latest method of attack.
This Impression seems to obtain not
♦only In Montgomery, but in other parts
of the state. Several officials were
<away from Montgomery at the time
the statement appeared, and tiey de
clare that it was universally condemned
f by all who read it.
The governor will issue a statement in
reply. He lias intimate*! that it will be
i very brief, and that it will be in all
respects compatible with the dignity of
his office.
Vote Soon on Clayton Question
That the United States Senate will next
- week vote on the seating of Representa
r tlve Henry D. Clayton, appointed by Gov
ernor O’Neal to succeed the late Sen
ator Johnston, Is the opinion of Robert
B. Evins, who has just returned from
Washington, where he appeared before
* the Senate committee on privileges and
elections, to whom Mr. Clayton's cre
dentials were first presented.
Mr. Evins represented the governor In
his address to the Senate committee,
and press reports indicate that he made
an excellent impression in presenting Mr.
r Clayton’s claims.
“A lawyer can always tell when he
has the Jury on his side,” said Mr. Evins,

CITY CAMPAIGN ENTERS
ON ITS LAST WEEK AND
STILL NO EXCITEMENT
The campaign for the presidency of the
city commission enters its last week—
and still no excitement.
The general opinion is that Georg© B.
1 Ward will win handsomely, will receive
a majority of the votes and thus make
a run-off unnecessary.
One bet of a hat was wagered during
the past week that Vassar B. Allen would
win. On the other hand, there were sev
eral bets placed that Clement R. Wood
would defeat Mr. Allen.
Political students posted on municipal
affairs, reached an agreement that each
of tlie candidates would receive his share
of the votes in the suburbs, with Ward
leading without having a majority over
ids competitors. It was figured that He
would easily acquire a sufficient majority
in Birmingham to make his election on
the first ballot certain.
Clement R. Wood, the socialist* candi
date, will deliver speeches throughout the
current week. It is understood that the
other candidates will content themselves
with personal solicitation for votes and
by mailing letters favorable to them
selves.
Neither of the candidates has a man
ager. The campaign has been unusually
dull, even a series of questions put to the
candidates yesterday by the Merchants'
Protective association failing to disturb
the calmness and the public s breast.
This calm is due to zhe general knowl
edge that Ward will win, his friends
declare. •
“and the committee made me feel that
my remarks were being well received. 1
now believe that Mr. Clayton will be
seated, and I should not be surprised if
the question of seating him comes to a
vote next week. I found a strong sen
timent in favor of accepting the gover
nor's appointee, and this sentiment, ob
tained -among several of the republican
members with whom I talked.”
Governor O’Neal has received no news
from Washington other than that con
veyed by Mr. Evins, since he returned
from Colorado Springs. The governor de
clares that he is not worried over the
situation. howrever, and that he believes
Mr. Clayton will be seated. “No news
is good news,” he declares.
smith for Auditor
There have been few developments In
the gubernatorial race during the past
week. Captain Kolb’s opening speech at
Birmingham last Monday was probably
the most significant development during
the week in the governor's race.
However, the other candidates have
been busy. As campaign manager for
Charles Henderson, Sam P. Kennedy has
been active in the advancement of Mr.
Henderson’s interests, and he reports
large gains for his candidate. Other re
ports received at the capital indicate that
Mr. Henderson is g&ning strength, and
it is generally agreed In official circles
that there ifc not the remotest doubt that
the race for governor is between that
candidate and former Governor B. B.
Comer. Mr. Henderson feels confident of
his success, and while he does little tlak
ing, declares that the assurances of sup
port which he has received from all parts
of the state lead him to believe that there
is little occasion for him to worry over
the final outcome of the race.
Next Monday the attention of the peo
ple of the state will be directed to Fay
ette, where four candidates will engage
in forensic displays before the people of
Fayette and surrounding counties.
Captain Kolb and John H. Wallace, Jr.,
will deliver political addresses in behalf
of their campaign for governor, and Wil
liam B. Bankhead and W. Buell Oliver
will indulge in a joint debate on the is
sues of their campaign for Congress from
the Sixth district. It is understood that
some of the candidates for lesser offices
will be present at the Fayette meeting.
Mr. Comer’s demand for a federal in
vestigation of an alleged insidious rail
road lobby in Alabama, published in a
large number of the papers of the state,
has received little comment in official
circles. It Is generally agreed that he
hopes to engender additional prejudice
against the railroads, and that the article
is designed as a political document.
Friends of (J. urooKS Himtn. state aud
itor, are urging him to run for state
treasurer, und there are many who be
lieve that Mr. Smith will enter the race.
Mr. Smith was one of the lirst men men-,
tloned for the office of treasurer, and
when the report was first circulated lie
neither denied nor affirmed it. latter Mr.
Smith stated he did not believe he would
again enter politics, and the question of
his candidacy was apparently dropped.
!%>wever, his friends never lost hope that
they would be able to revive his interests,
and this veek the subject of his can
didacy received another boom. Mr, Smith
is non-committal. He leaves the impres
sion that there is a probability that he
will run, but Hint the chances are just
as strong that lie will not. Should he
decide to enter the race, it is believed
that he will ndt make any formal an
nouncement for several months.
Other candidates for the office are Mal
com A. Graham of Autauga county, Wil
liam L. Lancaster of lOlmore and Judge
It. L. Bradley of Lamar.
Tile other candidates are all active.
They seem to feel that the race has just
begun, and that they cannot nfi'oid to
tire themselves out before the first mile
post is reached. Hence, while Ihey are
running, and using practically every
means in their power to enlist support,
their campaign has not yet advanced to
the stase in which they have begun an
active, house to bouse campaign, and
will hardly assume that degree of ac
tivity until several months have passed.

amendment for a graded tax running up
to over 10 per cent on Incomes above
$100,COO.
Senator Clarke's amendment assessing
a tax of one-tenth of a cent per pound
on all cotton sold for future delivery was
agreed to with an amendment postponing
its operation until September 1, 1914.
Senator Cummins called up his amend
ment providing for a tax of 10 per cent
of all sales of stock exchanges or boards
of trade wherein the seller Is not the
owner of the stock at the time of the
transaction. He said he believed it would
restrict, if not abolish, short sales, or
“speculative gambling, one of the great
evils of our commercial system.'' Senator
Clarke declared he would gladly co-oper
ate In the enactment of such legislation
at some future time, but that the pres
ent was not the time. Senator Norris
made a vigorous appeal for he Cummins
amendment, but It was rejected, 16 to 33,
Senator Sherman of Illinois being the only
republican to vote against it.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, In hie
first set speech on the tariff bill, said
the republicans repeatedly had claimed
the passage of the bill probably would
bring the country to financial distress.
He declared the historical references
made by the republicans to support their
arguments were inaccurate and “their
fears utterly without foundation.”
Senator Poindexter submitted an amend
ment which would create a tariff commis
sion controlled by Congress, but it was
rejected 21 to 33. In discussing the amend
ment, the progressive senator from
Washington commended the administra
tion of President Wilson In reducing 1 lie
parcel post rates as showing that the
executive could be trusted to appoint able
men to such a commission.

Birmingham Can Help
In the meantime if there is anything
that can be done further by the trade or
ganization or people of Birmingham to
help out they have until October 6 to pre
sent their claims.
The number of employes that neces
sarily will be used in the great under
taking of tiie government and the length
of time that will be consummed in the
task makes the location of these head
quarters a very important question, and
of immense value In many respects to the
t city that is fortunate to be favored.
I Mr. Underwood believes that IJirming
I ham has a chance in the contest, but the
principal argument being used against it
is that Birmingham is too far south in
tiie territory assigned to this dicision. If
this point can be overcome by other ad
vantages possessed by Birmingham over
the remaining contending cities, Birming
ham may be selected.

proposed raises in assessments to be
made on Gadsden property. Although
the investigation Is being male now.
the commission has not decided whether
to take action before next year.
Attorneys T. H. Owens and R. F. Lusk
have, been named by Judge J. A. Rllbro
of the city court of Gadsden to defend
Davo Tarvln, who will be tried next
Thursday for a criminal assault upon
Nettie Waldrop. Tar.vin’s father 's un
able to employ counsel, and the attor
neys were designated by the court to
act. The plea of the defense will be
insanity. The defense also may seek
a change of venue.
William Youngblood of the bureau of
animal industry of the United States
department of agriculture said today
that he does not anticipate any trou
ble over the cattle tick eradication in |
this section. He believes that reports
of trouble in Jackson county have been
greatly exaggerated.
Most of the departments at the Stand- I

is $1.35, but it is believed it will be
lowered to SO cents with the opening of

Don’t Move the Old Furniture.
Exchange It for New
NEARLY every home has more or less old, worn,
out of date furniture. By means of the HOOD
& WHBKLER "New Furniture For Old" plan you
can exchange It here for new. 1
We buy any or all your old furniture, paying its full
worth. You apply the proceeds on purchase of new
and desirable furniture.
In case you move October 1, why not sell us the old
furniture and let us move new furniture In your new
home. Talk the matter over.
—We operate an exclusive second hand store at 2111
Second avenue, where all second hand and shopworn
furniture is sold at “Bargain Counter" prices. No
second hand furniture is ever permitted at the big
Third avenue store.
