great believer in the future of the city.
He had always predicted that it would be
one of the great cities OF the south

To the Republicans OF Alabama:
True to the principles upon which our
government was founded. you have re-
sponded with the almost Unanimous voice
to the defeat OF the proposed amend
ment to the constitution.
As patriotic citizens YOU greatly assist
ed in defeating the assault made upon
the fundamental principles upon which
our government was founded. and the
effort on the part of extreme and fanat-
ical politicians to promote and build up
a political machine which would endan-
ger the liberties of the people OF Ala
banla.
BY your vote you elnpnasized the
American principle, that the people shall
be secure in their persons houses pa
pers and possessions from unreasonable
seizures and Searches
I earnestly urge young men TO qualify
as electors in order to prevent the minor
ity ruling the majority In the future.

Representative Oscar w. Underwood
will return to Washington tomorrow to
be present at the opening of Congress
next Monday.
In answer to question as to the work
before the coming session of Congress,
Mr.. Underwood said that If Congress car
ried out one-half of the recommendations
that had been made by the President in
his speeches on his recent trip through
out the states, they would probably be
kept in session until midsummer, but he
did not expect all these matters would
be legislated upon. and Congress would
probably reach an adjournment by the
last of June
''rhe most important question requiring
legislation, and one that must be consid-
cred before long said Mr.. Underwood,
''is the reorganization of our banking and
monetary systems, but on account OF the
great diversity of opinion in both polit-
ical parties it will probably be very diff
fcult to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
There will probably be no change in
the railroad rate laws of the country at

lor. In case Bush runs it is generally
admitted that he will win.
In the Second Congressman Dent will
not be opposed-that is no serious man
will invite the overwhelming defeat
which would be certsin to follow
In the Third it is rumored that Con-
gresham Clayton will be opposed. Tom
Espey. of Dothan was. one of the finest
anti-amendment orators in the southern
section OF the state, and it is said that
he has congressional ambition. And Reed
B. Barnes of Opelika. one of the strong
est men of the northern end of the Third,
has been mentioned.
In the fourth, Congressman Craig will
not ask for reelection. State Senator
Fred l.. Blackmon of Admission will be a
candidate. 1t is considered certain. Car
son C. Whitson of Talladega has been
mentioned. Alexander CARRIER. attorney
general, is considered probable candi-
date. Political students of the Fourth
predict that Senator Blackmon will have
comparatively little trouble in winning.
In the Fifth it is reported that Judge
N. D. benson, late of the supreme court
bench, will oppose ]. Thomas Hefiin for
reelection. And Oscar S. Lewis. a young
attorney and a good one, of Tuskegee is
considered possessed of congressional as
prations. In three cornered fight.
either of the trio might win in case the
amendment and anti-amendment line is
drawn.
Will Howard Run?
In the Sixth Congressman Hobson is OPP
posed by w. C. Davis. AS has been stat
ed, Congressman Hobson on account of
a fight for the amendment which was
conducted, it is believed, in fairness and
without efforts t3prejudice, has not hurt
himself politically in spite of the fact
that his district went overwhelmingly
against the amendment. Mr. Davis did
not take very active part in the cam
paign.
In the Seventh several names have been
mentioned as probable successors to Con-
gresham Burnett. 1t is considered
practical certainty that he will have op-
position. Ex-Congressman Howard, it is
generally admitted, would probably sweep
the Seventh district. In the recent CAM
paign his popularity was demonstrated
by his receptions on 100 stumps, and his
oratory 1t is thought, did much toward
putting every county of Burnett's district
in the column of the defenders of the
constitution. Representative George A.
Parker of Cullman has received mention,
too Mr.. Parker is considered exceeding
ly strong, and should he enter the lists,
might be formidable.
It Is not considered likely that William
Richardson will meet with opposition in
the Eighth. AS a probable opponent of
Congressman Underwood OF this district,
DR.. r. M Cunningham has been men,
toned, but in view of the disastrous de-
feat administered the amendment in this
district, it is not considered likely that
the genial physician of Ensley, who
fought for that measure valiantly, will
shy his castor into the ring.
