THREE MEN ARE OUT
MUCH POLITICS IN WESTERN Ala
BAMA.
Formal Announcements of oliver for
Congress-; HARDWOOD, for Judge,
and MeQueen, for solicitor.
Races To BE Warm.

Eutaw, April 1--(Special.)-As a
result of public meetings of Democrats
here today. Hon. w. b. oliver of Tus-
caloosa. is an announced candidate for
Congress from the Sixth District
against Representative Richmond
Pearson Hobson; Hon. Bernard Har-
wood, of Eutaw, is a. candidate for
Circuit Judge. and John d. Mcqueen,
of lEutaw. will make the race for Sol
icitor for this circuit.
Such were the developments of the
public meeting here today in which
prospective candidates were asked Ia
make clear their position.
Mr.. oliver some days ago said in
Eutaw that he proposed to make the
race for Congress. 1t has been report
ed from Tuscaloosa that he had chang
ed his mind and that he would run for
Circuit Judge, a place which Will he
left vacant by the voluntary retire.
ment of Judge S. H. Sprott, the veter-
an Judge of this circuit. But today he
dissipated all doubts by a clear-cut
statement that he would enter the con-
test.
Mr.. oliver is Solicitor of this circuit
and one OF the best known men in 1t.
The race between him and Representa-
tive Hobson will be lively from the
start because the two men are mucn
alike in many respects. Both are
young. aggressive, and both are fine
public speakers. 1t is an interesting
fact that the two are probably the
handsomest men in the district. On
good looks neither has anything on
the other. A joint debate will look
like u masculine beauty show.
Hon. w. c. Davis, of Jasper mas been
reported as a candidate for Congress,
but whether he is or not. Mr.. oliver
is going to make a fight to the end. In
view of the hot fights that have been
made in this district the lines have
been tightly drawn and the factions
vet exist. It can be safely said that
the anti Hobson faction in this part of
the district will line up behind Oliver.
Hon. Bernard Howard. who will
make the race for Circuit Judge. Is
widely known in West Alabama. He
has represented Greene County In the
Legislature. He has been successful in
the practice OF the law, and he starts
the race with a. large following.
Mr.. Mcqueen. who will make the
race for Solicitor, is well known
Young lawyer of Eutaw, a member of
one of the oldest families Of the Black
Belt, ana the possessor of wide cir
Gle of friends. His friends have al
ready sounded public sentiment in his
interest and they are confident that he
enters the race with strong prestige.
For the place of Solicitor it is ex-
nected that there will be several con-
testants. Hon. James A. Mitchell. of
Sumter and Hon. NJ. T. ormond of Tus-
caloosa are recognized as candidates
for the honor and there may be others.
From present indications this part
of Alabama will have more politics In
tire coming year than any other Sec
ton of the State.

mers OF the Payne tariff bill for dar-
ing to increase duty rates on women's
wearing apparel.
1T seems to me-" debated Mr.. Bur
nett. that the Republican members
Of the Ways and Means Committee,
in the preparation Of this bill, aimed
a deliberate and premeditated blow
at the American woman"
He explained that ne was not sur

West Virginia. Mr.. Gaines; "the fiery
and irnpetous youth" from Michigan.
Mr.. Fordney, and the committee ba-
by from Washington.
"It was bad enough for these gentle

teeth on the free list and high pro-

Changing the subject, Mr.. Burnett
declared that the bill was q tissue of
deception from title to index. He as

downward. Yet the Payne bill show

The bag of eggs were smashed, how
