RAILROAD COMMISSION WILL
HAVE OPPOSITION IN GEORGIA

Atlanta, July 24-(special.) -Indications
point to the fact that each of the three
railroad commissioners who are standing
for reelection before the coming state
primary will have two opponents.
Judge George Hillyer, originally ap-
pointed by Gov. Hoke Smith, and after
ward elected for full term, is now in
the thick of the fight for reelection, with
Trox Bankston the West Point newspaper
editor, and s. Guyt McLendon, former
chairman of the railroad commission, who
was deposed by Governor Smith. right on
his heels.
McLendon says, speaking of the prefer
entail rates the railroad commission was
asked to give Atlanta on special iron and
other products:
II opposed special privileges while Judge
Hillyer voted for Them.
Tom Watson, who is supporting NC
Tendon, declares that the latter was
'1ynched" by Hoke Smith Legislature
''McLendon said at one time he would
support me against Hillyer,'' remarks

The Loss of Six Republican
Votes Will Make Body
Democratic
MANY SEATS ARE IN
DOUBTFUL COLUMN
Leading Democrats Declare They Will
Capture at Least Nine of the
Places Now Held By
Republicans
BY C. e. STEWART

Washington, July 24.-(Special )-There
is one very important question in the
coming campaign, and one that is being
given and will be given serious consider
alton of the congressional campaign COM
mittee. 1t Is conceded that Wilson has
every chance to win. and that the House
will be overwhelmingly democratic, but
what about the Senate? Can the demo-
Gratis capture the Senate?
There is now republican majority of
eight In the Senate, which while not great
1t is sufficient to block all democratic
legislation from the House, il 1t chooses
and could continue to do so even If we
had a democratic President. Among the
democratic senators who are to be re-
elected or some one else to be elected to
fill their seats at the expiration of this
term, there is but one whose seat is IN
danger of being captured by republican.
This is the seat of Senator Watson of
West Virginia. All the other democrats
whose time expires with this term will
be either succeeded by other democrats
or be reelected themselves. 1t is be-
lieved that West Virginia will also return
a democratic senator, but there is room
for some doubt.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1912-07-25
Republicans in Danger

But there are a number of republicans
who stand in much danger of losing their
places to democrats They are Borah of
Idaho, Briggs of New Jersey, Bourne of
Oregon. Brown of Nebraska, Crane OF
Massachusetts, Cullom of Illinois, Curtis
of Kansas, Dixon of Montana, Gamble
of South Dakota, Guggenheim of Colora
do, Kenyon of Iowa, Richardson of Della
ware, Smith of Michigan, Warren of
Wyoming, and Sanders of Tennessee-15.
OF course. in this long and lugubrious
looking list of republican senators, there
are degrees of doubt governed largely
by state as well as national political con-
ditions which surround their various
chances.
The chances favor the democrats for
the places now held by Briggs. Borah.
Brown, Crane. Cullom, Dixon. Guggen-
helm and Smiths, with an almost even
shot at Bourne and Gamble.
Every effort. the democrats declare, Is
going to be made to capture the Senate,
and the republicans are going to do their
best to hold 1t so that they can control
or block legislation for two years any

Overtures to Progressives


Already the regulars are making over
lures to the progressive republican SEN
ators ard urging them to make II COM
mon cause to hold the Senate In the re-
publican column. Borah, a strong force.
who was one of Roosevelt's loudest and
most insistent supporters in Chicago, will
be urged to support Taft. in order to save
his own bacon, and he is going to remain
regular. Just how strong his support
of Taft will be, remains to be seen.
Giving the republicans the benefit of
all doubt 1t was declared today by
member of the Senate that that body
will be democratic by majority of from
to Z next March. AS the Senate stands
today there are 81 republicans. 43 dem
ocrats and two Avacancies-from Illinois
and Colorado.
Colorados legislature, whic his repub-
lican, failed to elect and adjourned, leav-
ing a vacancy In the Senate. to which
the governor could not appoint after the
legislature had fozzled Illinois has a
vacancy also to which the governor can
not make an appointment, because the
legislature is responsible for the vacan-
cy. Illinois has a republican legislature
also, and therefore giving the republicans
these two seats If the Senate was COM
plete It would stand now SO republicans
to 40 democrats.
The loss of only FIVE republican seats,
therefore, 1t can be seen, would tie up
the Senate. making it stand as to As. A
loss of more than five will make 1t demo-
cratic.
Capture at Least Nine
The democrats declare that they will
capture at least nine republican seats and
not lose themselves one. But say they
do get nine and lose Senator Watson,
this will leave the Senate democratic by
a majority of six, or in other words with
81 democrats and 45 republicans.
That the Senate will be democratic IA
year hence is altogether probable; that
they will have a fair working majority
is generally believed, and In 1914 they ex-
pect to captuer it as completely as they
have the House.
AS to the next House of Representa-
tives-there are republicans who are can
dates for reelection who have been
known to have said that the next House
will not have 60 republicans in it.
Outside of the presidency, the demo-
Gratis say that to capture the Senate is
of the greatest Importance, and they be-
| leve that the chances for doing so are
| fine.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
TO SMALL COST
A Simple Remedy Beauties The
Hair, Cures Dandruff, Stops
Falling Hair.

Wat pity 1t is to see so many peo-
pie with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful col
or and lustre If they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty-five
years of age, and there is no excuse
for anyone, young or old, having thin,
struggling hair, either full of dandruff
or heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair in a few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gen.
erations common garden Sage has
been used for restoring and preserving
the color of the hair; and Sulphur is
recognized by Scalp Specialists as be-
ing excellent for treatment of hair and
scalp troubles.
If you are troubled with dandruff
or itching scalp, or if your hair is
losing its color or coming out, get a
fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and no.
tice the improvement in the appear
ance of your hair after few days
