The entrance of Congressman Bankhead
into the campaign in Alabama as a free
silverite candidate for the seat in the
Senate now occupied by Senator Pugh is
likely to cause some little disturbance.
Senator Pugh will probably have some
thing to say about the parcelling out of
his political estate before he is dead. He
will want to use that same seat some
more and will be apt to let Mr.. Bank
head know that when it comes to talk
ing for silver, and pulling wires for NOM
ination, he knows a. trick or two himself.
The sound money people will take steps
to meet Bankhead on the stump.
