 Atlanta, April 29.-(special )--Today was Alabama day in Georgia. Last night Governor oNeal and R. B. Evins arrived in Atlanta. This morning came E. K. Campbell, Oscar c. Turner, Henry B, Gray, culpepper Exum, Harry Jones. Nathan L. Miller, Crawford Johnston, P. J. N1cGeever. Graham Per due. Isadore Shapiro. Walter Sessions and other prominent citizens of Bir- mingham.
 To Blakesley went Judge William F.. Fort. A. D. smith went to Marietta George Yanoey went to LaGrange. B. F. Riley and Henry Howze went to Athens. R. B. Smyer, Hugh White and W. P. Lay went to Rome. Jesse Stall lIngs spoke in three cities today. Con- gressnaan Helin made two speeches. \ Senator Bankhead is speaking tonight in Columbus
 The Underwood boosters from Bir- mingham putin busy day. They re- ported early in the morning to Judge c. R Hutchens, Underwood's manager. and were instructed to get busy among their friends. Thereupon they scat
 
 bled at the Piedmont and the story of each was similar.
 All Make Glowing Reports '1 went to see the hardware dealers and traveling men, reported Harry Jones, "and left all but three to whom l talked wearing Underwood buttons" ,"
 T saw the Coca -Cela people" stated Crawford Johnston. and found them all supporters of Underwood"
 We saw the lawyers" declared Ma than L. Miller and E. K. campbell.' and the great majority of them are all right"
 And so the story went. As a result of the Aabamians' work there is nc deaat but that Underwood will receive tbopfand uore votes in Fulton county
 ssi sla asiia heSs resssnss II was a great day for the Birmingham citizens They scattered several thoasand buttons bearing the Under wood face. and talked Underwood from morning until night.
 The majority of the visitors will re- main throughout tomorrow. They have told Manager Hutchens that they are ready to do anything to which he might think wise to assign them. We are here in the interest of Underwood" the delegation reported, and no task in his interest will prove too arduous."
 Two Candidates in Background
 That which stands out more proml- nently than any other one feature of the campaign in which Clark, Harmon. Un- derwood and Wilson are endeavoring to land the delegation of this state to the national convention is that neither of the former two candidates is given even complimentary mention. Their names are on the ticket for effect. it is stated and not in accordance with any desire on their parts. The executive committee has also arranged that the voters can by writing in the names of others for whom ] they would vote express their choice for 7 one of possibly hundred prominent men in the United States.
 The race, as is known, is between I'n- derwood and Wilson. Each of these candidates has headquarters and each headquarters is sleeping neither night nor day. Never has there heen waged more determined, persistent and earn est campaign. The Underwood workers are confident of victory The Wilson workers are equally as confident It seems that the Alabaman will win and by large majority, provided the farm CTS find time in which to exercise the fuffrage.
 No Silk Glove Affair
 The fight in Georgia has not been a silk glove affair. It has been stiff from the shoulder. No man has asked for quarter
 It is very plain that no man would give quarter were it asked.
 Literature from the Underwood head quarters discusses with remarkable free dom the milk and water platform of Woodrow Wilson. that platform in which he declares: Why discuss the tariff?" Excerpts from his books tending to prove the New Jersey executives oppos- tion to organized labor to immigrants. to the farmer. to the militia, and to the ordinary man in general have been freely scattered throughout Georgia. One of she excerpts which has made a hit is this: There is another formidable an enemy to equality and freedom of opportunity as it tbe capitalist class) is. and that is the class formed by the labor organizations and leaders-qute as monopostic in spirit as the capitalists and quite as apt to corrupt and ruin our industries by their monopoly. The all liarce between Bryan and Wilson is ruthlessly exposed. The party record of Wilson furnishes topic for many
 
 Bryan in 1896. and that in 19o7 he desired someone or something tc knock Bryan into a cooked hat, has been told the people of every county of this state.
 Strange Campaign Matter
 As is known. the Wilson head k quarters, armed with nothing of truth which can reflect against the integrity of Oscar w. Underwood has been dis pensing in great quantities matters Of he strangest possible nature. They arc telling the people of Georgia that Oscar W. Underwood is political hypocrit. charging that he represents himself a southorner when his fathers fought against the south in the war of 1861 -5 Despite the fact that un- derwood's work in Congress has stamped him as the only man in th.s nation who has ever put his fingers about the throat of the trusts. the Wil- son managers are telling the people E Of Georgia that the Alabamian is r creature of the trusts, tool of Mol gan and Rockefeller and vested inter l3 ests The Wilson managers charge. Vtoo, that from Wall street comes the
