Fly (. Fl. MANDY

Saturday afternoon white man wear ing Mexican sombrero and q long mus tache walked into the office of Judge Benners of the court of common pleas. He was accompanied by a young looking yellow negro, wearing a pair of brace lets to which was attached a chain held firmly in the hand of the white man. Deputy Sheriff Chew accompanied the party and introduced the white man to Judge Benners as B. NJ. Woodall, an off cer of the law from Piedmont, Tex, who had come to Alabama to track the foot steps of B. Johnson, the Xanthic colored individual wearing the chains, who he alleged was a fugitive from justice.
 What ofense is the negro charged with?" queried Judge Benners.
 "Bigamy," answered Mir Chew, as he was making out the warrant

FOR ROOSEVELT
 AND UNDERWOOD
Tebbetts Says Alabamian Is Logical Man to Oppose
 Choice of Republicans

Maj William F. rebbetts of Mobile, who presided over the conference of Roosevelt supporters at the city hall armory yes- terday, gave out this interview last night:
 ''Underwood is the logical man to lead the democrativ party in event of the nonn- ination of Colonel Roosevelt. The coming campaign for the presidency will be wageo strictly along the lines of extreme pro- gressve ideals opposed to conservative ideals
 No one can deny that Mir Underwood is the conservative of conservatives or that Mir. Roosevelt is the progressive of progressives. Between these two the is- sues now before the people of this coun- try will bs clearly drawn and perfectly defined.
 No one who has watched their respee- tive careers can doubt the earnestness and sincerity of either, and it will be a battle of giants.
 'I believe that the Chicago convention, which meets a week before the Baltimore convention will nominate MT. Roosevelt. He has many friends on the national com mittee, who will insist upon the square dcal' when it comes to organizing the na- tiona convention. and contests may le taken out of the hands Of the committee and submitted to the whole convention, as has been done before,
 ''The officeholders' organization seems well satisfied that its skeleton of a party will control the entire situation in regard to the seating and voting of the Alabama delegation.
 Much has been said and written about the methods of these men, who assume some semblance of rule by divine right, the high priest being the dispenser of fed eral offices. they understand their role; but we propose 10 get authority from the republican voters of Alabama. Not the officeholders, but the men on the firing line to deliver al least a part of he states vote according to the will of t.le majority and not Of the office holding rn nority in the party.
 By virtue of it's first place in the roll call of states, Alabama occupies a posi- tion of peculiar importance in the conven- ton of both parties.
 When the democratic convention begins to ballot thet fact that Underwood will be backed by a solid and determined dele gation from this state will have great weight in his favor
 By the same token when the roll is called in the republican convention and Alabama shows divided delegation, though classcd as a patronage ruled sta.e. this fact will have an important nhuen .e for Mir. Roosevelt
 "Tn referring to the coterie of office- holders and their methods do not wish to be construed as attempting to reflect upon the great body of the postmastcrs in Alabama. who arc generally speaking men who are worthy of the places they hold and who are entitled to the highest consideration What I. and they. object 10 is the arbitrary rule of the referees and the restricted orga nization they have maintained through their control of presi- dental appointments in Alabama.
 Major Tebbetts, who is president of large Mosaic Tile Manufacturing concern at Mobile, will visit Anniston and return to Birmingham Tuesday. He is at the Hotel Hillman

Headquarters Opened

Underwood headquarters have been opened up and thoroughly organized, said pr. owen, and much effective work Is being done for the majority leader in Congress. Those who have kept up with the progress of the presidential campaign throughout the country cannot have failed To notice the ever increased activity in favor of Mir Underwood and I confidently be- lieve that he will carry many delegates, hitherto believed to have been com mitted to some one or the other can didates.
 The results of that activity are go- ing to be still further effective and, in a spirit of sincere conviction, I be-
 ieve that the south will go largely for him.
 Perhaps the most notable feature of the campaign is the remarkable express sion of frendliness for MT. Underwood in the northern press and from northern leaders. Our plans of campaign have not yet been fully worked out as to the north and east, but we are very sure to at least find all delegations from those quarters friendly to him, even if not committed in his behalf

 Dr. owen declared that Underwood has devoted very little time thus far to the direction of his campaign, as his duties as majority leader have been of so exactiag nature as to require all of his atten- ton. He said that the character of his campaign is appealing to the fair minded and the thoughtful of the party every where, adding: But. perhaps, more than all things else. his own faithful attention to his public duties, and his absolute un- willingness to lend himself, through the performance of those duties. to any plnns or schemes which will further a very natural ambition to be President have commended him to the people, not ohly of his ownt party. but of all parties
