SENATOR JOHNSTON
 AND PARTY RETURN
Large Antlered Buck Fell Victim to Senator's Marksmanship--Lots
 of Game Sighted

United States Senator Joseph F. John- ston and Major ". B. Leedy have just returned from a hunting trip to Mobile county. Senator Johnston brought home with him a huge antlered buck which fell a victim to his gun.
 The hunting party was made up of nine gentlemen. The hunt lasted four days, and the ground covered was on Crab creek on Tensas river, about F miles north of Mobile.
 During the hunt, 12 deer were jumped but only two killed. Senator Johnston killed one of these and the other was shot by W. II. H. Greenwood of Mo- bile. A large bear was routed from the swamp but he managed to escape as there was not time in which to fol- low him to his haunt.
 Senator Johnston states that other than Mobile there is hardly a place in the United States where one can find big game within an hours ride. Both he and Major Leedy report most pleas ant outing.

XMAS GIFTS IN [ FORM OF PARDONS May Be Granted to Large
 Number Working on Georgia Roads

Atlanta, December 2.-(Special )-In all probability there will be a large number of pardons as Christmas gifts for the men now working on Georgia s roads. The releases will come as the result of the visit on Thanksgiving Day, paid by the chairman of the prison commission, Robert Davison, to the camps near Atlanta.
 Learning that he was coming the prisoners decided to win his favor by giving him and his little party the very best dinner that could be pro- vided, one that he would remember for days to come. They succeeded in their desire, for the feast spread out before the chairman was of the kind to make the mouth fairly water, and he did his share by the meal He enjoyed every single dish, and everyone connected with the feast received praise from him for their efforts.
 Everywhere he went. however, there were those who wanted a word witf him; who were anxious for that little strip of paper, which would send then home to their families, and put an enc to their exile.
 They enjoyed their Thanksgiving Day u1llntIy lOl IL was eio SOOd do liid served in any home in the city prob ably, but liberty is way wonder more precious to them.

LEON M'CORD FINDS
 UNDERWOOD STRONG
Railroad Commissioner Visits Rural Counties and Says Farmers
 Want No Second Choice

After visiting Randolph, Clay, Charo' l1ee, Winston, Lamar, DeKalb and Mar shall counties. Leon McCord. associate member of the railroad commission, reached Birmingham yesterday.
 MT. McCord states that he has been in the counties which had not previously been visited this year by the commission. 'I like to go back to the candle lights, stated he, "for electricity does not agree with me any more. The other commis- sioners send me to the country because they wear silk socks and can't go them selves"
 MT. McCord states that in the counties through which he has been he has found a fine sentiment in favor of Oscar w. Underwood for the presidential nomina- ton. Everywhere" said he, "the people are heartily in favor of sending a dele- gation to the national convention instruct ed for MT. Underwood. The idea of a second choice is generally considered as an attempt to take an underhand stab at the Ninth district congressman.
 "Along this line I heard a funny story in Marshall the other day. We were talking Of Underwood and the effort to be made to gain his nomination. Then someone metioped the effort of certain Wilson people to get an expression in reference to second choice. There was a little laugh, and then an old man from the hill, with a crack in his voice, opened up: Whats the need of the peo- rle saying anything about a second choice? But if those city folks want it, let 'em have their way. When the votes are counted it will be found that we have told the Yankees that our first choice is Oscar Underwood and our second choice is Oscar Underwood, also!'"

CHARLES HENDERSON
 IS UNDERWOOD MAN
Says Second Choice Sounds Bad-Is Candidate for Reelection
 Next Spring

Charles Henderson of Troy, for two terms president of the railroad commits
 sion, returned to Montgomery yester-
 day after spending a few days in Bir- mingham. He is candidate for re-elec- tion in the state primary next spring,
 and up to the present time has no oppo- sition.
 MT. Henderson is ardently in favor of the nomination of Oscar w. Underwood
 for the presidency and believes the idea
 of the people expressing themselves con- corning a second choice to be had. "There is every reason why the people of Ala bama should rally around Underwood and give him their hearty support. He is one of the big men of the nation and the first democrat who has had a good chance of election since Cleveland MT. Henderson, although ardently in favor of Underwood, is staunch ad- l mirer of MT. Wilson, and does not hes | itate to declare that were MT. Under ] wood removed from the political arena
 he would support the candidacy of Mir Wilson.

ALABAMA SOLONS !. 60 ID WASHINGTON Senator Johnston Talks of
 Underwood NATION IS WATCHING Alabama Senator Says It Is Up to Democrats to Prove They Can
 Remedy the High Cost of Living
NATION IS WATCHING

To aid in the passage of bills provid- ing for important reductions in the tariff and the appropriation budget, Alabama members of Congress who have not al ready reached washington will leave this morning.
 Senator John H. Banlxhead left Bir- mingham for the national capital yestef- day morning after spending a few hours in the Magic City. Senator Joseph F. Johnston will leave today.
 "The new session of Congress-" stated Senator Bankhead, 'is one of the most
 vital importance. The democrats will have to make good their contention that there exists remedy for the present high cost of living. There will be many great measures to receive the attention or the members of Congress. The most inn portant bills are those providing for tariff production and appropriation reduc- ton. Laws will have to be enacted, too, for the operation, government and maintenance of the Panama canal.
 'cThis will be the first regular session of Congress, in many years in which the democrats will have a majority in the House. The nation is watching us. l
 believe that matters will be conducted
 wisely. In the House we have Oscar Underwood in command. He has proven himself to be a leader par excellence"
 Senator Johnston, in addition to his 6uties as 8 member of the upper house, will have other business to attend to in reference to the continuation of the in- vestigation into the manner in which Senator Lorimer of Illinois succeeded in
 landing a senatorial seat. "The com-
 mittee will hold session this month"; | stated Senator Johnston, 'but it will be after the new year, l believe, before a report will be made. AS result of the
 recent session of the committee in Chi cago, very little that is new was discov-
 cred. Senator Lorimer will be put on the stand in the near future.'
 Senator Johnston, as does Senator
 Bankhead, believes the ensuing session of
 Congress will be one of the most im- portant in recent years. Like Senator Bankhead, he is ardently in favor of nominating Oscar Underwood for Presi- dent of the United States, and both be- lieve that the Ninth district congress- man, if nominated, will win.
 ''I am glad to note,'' stated Senator Bankhead before leaving, that the idea of 8 second choice expression by the vot-
 CTS of Alabama is not a popular idea with
 the great mass of voters.''
 ''We must do all that we can to nomi- | nate and elect Underwood" stated Sem
 ator Johnston, "and he deserves more
 than a complimentary vote by his own | peoDle"

thing to help us out? I got in wrong, so did these other fellows here. See what you can do.' And the chances are that the chairman will see what he can do, and before long some Of them are going to be given chance to get right"
 When Hoke Smith was governor he remarked that there was probably 800 convicts in the gang who had no busi- ness to be there, who should be free and with their families. While Chair man Davison may not put the number that high, he is of the opinion, too, that some of the men might be better em- ployed and of more service to the world at their own homes than in prison garb.
