Afternoon Session

After recess the delegates called to th1 stage Senator John H. Bankhead, who was given an ovation when he took the floor.
 This is red letter day for the demo- crats of Alabama said Senator Bank head declaring that there was no truth in the suggestion that a southern man could not be nominated for President. MT. Bankhead said he was the oldest demo- crat in Congress. Speaking of Under wood, Senator Bankhead declared that he had steadily climbed the ladder until he had reached the top.
 Underwood Is now at the top said Senator Bankhead. He stands head and shoulders above any of his colleagues and he has demonstrated that he Is the great est organizer who has been in, Congress for quarter of a century. He is the second choice of the friends of all the other candidates
 In reference to UnderwoodS being southern man. Senator Bankhead declared that there is now no Mason and Dixon line; that the Spanish war had erased all sectional feeling. and tn tathere is just as strong a chance for a southern man as for one from any other section.
 We are, all of us for Underwood" said one here who is ruled by petty jealousies. then sacrifice me rather than my friend. I want to say that Underwood Is the strongest candidate for the presidency, and he will poll more votes than any of the others mentioned for the high office of chief executive of our nation.'

 Thomas Speaks
 Mir. Stallings was followed by Perry Thomas of Barbour county, who made an eloquent plea for the list of delegates as prepared by the nominating commit tee. Mir. Thomas declared that to con slider the state as offered by MT. Stalings would be an admission to the world that the democrats of Alabama were divided. The speaker was frequently interrupted by loud applause during the course of his remarks, and upon the conclusion of Mir. Thomas address. the motion was made to adopt the report of the nominating com mttee.
 Before the vote was taken. T. D. San ford rose and said that his name had been put on Mir. Stallngs' slate without his knowledge and consent. and that he was not In sympathy with the opposition raised by Mir Stallings.
