ADOPT CAMPAIGN
 PUBLICITY BILL Direct Election of Senators Passed Over to Next
 Session

Washington, August 12.---A compl etc agreement on the pre-election cam- paign publicity bill and failure tc agree upon constitution amendmsEt foi, the direct election of senators marked the conclusion today of the conferences between the House and Senate over these two important meas ures The conference report on the publicity bill will be presented to both houses Monday. The Senate amendment limiting to an average of 10 cents per voter the amount that any candidate may spend in his campaign, has been dropped out of the bill
 The chief reason for It's elimination is said to be the decision that 1t would give too much apparent authority for the use of money in campaigns. The conference committee approved the Sen ate amendments limiting the amount candidates may spend to 5000 for a candidate for the House and $10,o00 for a candidate for the Senate. The Sen ate amendment requiring publicity of all campaign pledges was adopted by the House. The bill was made to apply not only to primary, regular and spe- cial elections but to nominating con yentions and candidates who enter the fight at the last moment or are nom . mated without having been open can didates.
 AS a result of the failure of the con- ference on the direct election of senators amendment there will be no action on that subject until December. This was the statement today of the members of the House conference committee. .

Washington, August 12.--fSpeciall- President Richard W. Massey of the Chamber of Commerce of Birmin gham, accompanied by Mrs. Massey and two ,la,igt ters arrived in Washington today from Boston and other eastern cities They are ou their way home MT. Mas sey came by Washing lon to confer with congressman Underwood and other members of the Alabama delegation on plans for the reception that Birm;ng- ham people propose to give MT. Un- derwood when he goes home from the present session of Congress.
 MT. Massey reports that he heard much favorable comment on the good work of MT. Underwood among the people of the east, and he Is enthu- siastic over the proposition to give the Alabama leader a great ovation when he returns home The Blrmin gham Chamber of Commerce has as yet taken no official action on plans, but will proba bly, do so after MT. Massey gets home and makes a recommendation.
 MT Massey will recommend that a great reception be arranged, but that LII c udlt De lcll iOf ldlci bcACi The adjournment of Congress is still uncertain and no date can be selected until it is known when Congress will finish MT.

The Presidents tariff attitude and the discussion of it has caused any amount of talk about the democratic position and full discussion of oscar Underwood Republicans and democrats alike speak of him in terms of the greatest ad- miration. They comment upon his con- servatism and his fixed purposes; that he does not mince matters, but defines his principles and fights for them. All agree that he fully represents dem- ocracy upon the tariff issue and that the next presidential campaign will be, fought out upon this issue alone. Even the Boston Herald, independent democratic, declares Underwood to be the man the democrats should put forward as their candidate. He represents democracy without the isms and the country wants a fair fight to the finish.
 Taft's veto wills define the issue Then, If I be not greatly. mistaken the straight democrats of this country will rally round the Alabamian.
