ingly of the recent race for alternate
senator while in the city this week, put
ting special stress on the good show
ing made by Congressman Bankhead

future of the state so far as its In
terests at Washington go.
General Pettus spoke of the great in
iuence possessed by Captain Bankhead
on the appropriations committee and on
the committee on rivers and harbors and
expects him to be able to accomplish
much for the state at the short session

liable men in the House. HE is a worker
and a common sense worker" said the
General. land that is what 1t takes to
get along in Congress-
