UNDERWOOD REPRESENTS THE ADMIH-
ISTRATION.

ISTRATl0H.
The senatorial contest that is
being waged in Alabama is OF
unusual interest because of the
candidacy of Congressman Un-
derwood. The democracy in gen.
eraI regards him a party leader
second to none, in fact, he is re
garded in the same degree as
the President, and should Mr..
Underwood be defeated for the
senate, his defeat would have a
bad effect on the present admin
istration, for Underwood is it's
mouth piece so far as carrying
out the pledges of the Demo-
cratic party is concerned. Con-
gressman Hobson of naval fame
is one of his opponents, and
while it is conceded that Hobson
is popular in Alabama. and is
somewha: of a national figure, he
is not looked upon as being in
the same class with Underwood
in craftsmanship, his eleva
tion to the senate over the floor
leader of the House would be-
little short of a calamity.
We believe that Hobson's at
tack upon Underwood recently
on the floor of the House, in
which ne asserted that Under
wood was "a tool of Wall Street
and the liquor interests" has
already proven a boomerang,
and that if Hobson had anything
like chance of election before,
he lost it after making such a
wild charge Whenever charge
is made against an opponent it
should be proven or it will have
the effect Of hurting the one who
made il. We believe the gov
ernor OF this State was helped
in the last primary when his
opponents failed to make good
the charges against him, and
many a voter either changed
from Jones to him or became
Indifferent aud did not vote for
either. The people of Alabama
will demand of Hobson to make
his charge good by convincing
proof that Underwood has un-
holy alliances, or stand self-cou-
victed of endeavoriug to deceive
aud attempting to get to the
United States Senate under false
pretenses.

Solicitor A. E Hill of the cir

aud annoyance for the opposition
to become qualified to vote? And
further, if white men are refus
ed or harassed in this matter, is
it not likely serious trouble
would result therefrom.
Under the registration law
now, the eligibility Of the voter
is practically left TO the judy.
ment of the registration officers,
if a voter, white or black, applies
to them for a certificate, and they
should require reading Of the
constitution and it's construction,
the applicant may be professor
of law. and the officers laymen
with ordinary education aud in.
teIligence, yet, if the officers
know the Professor is on the
other side, they could turn him
down on the ground that his
construction of the constitution
is wrong True, he has a rem
edy. He can Carry his case to
the courts and force the officers
to give him his certificate, but
each case must stand on its own
merits, and by the time Judge
orders the certificate given him
the election has been held. This
is not an overdrawn suppositlon:
not at all, nor does it accuse one
element any more than another:
they will all do it. No better
evidence of what will be resorted
to for self preservation if, with
the power, than the recent liquor
election contests. Where the
dispensarites had the power
they did not hesitate to thTart
the ballot by throwing out
enough votes to give them a
majority, and the same Was the
case where the other side had
the power-power not morality
governs in majority of contests.
Therefore. it is preposterous for
the Outs to make better claims
to morality than the Ins, both
are tarred with the same stick,
and both will resort to the same
means to further their ends.

ANOTHER AJAX.

nav 4AAN &ASEe<As
Hon. Lowndes Browning OF
, Union, has announced himself
candidate for governor, and
still they come. Mr.. Browning
has issued a summary of his
platform, which in part reads
we'll, but his advocacy of requir'
ing the same regulations for the
primary as is required by the
law for the general election will
not be endorsed by the masses.
There are some who argue, that
it is not the purpose to prevent
any white citizen from having
the right to vote in the primary,
neither does the present law dis
criminate against negroes but,
should the law they advocate be
adopted, while the language of
the Act would not discriminate
the practical effect will be, as
every discerning honest man
must know, to eliminate from
the electorate many: not because
of the fault of the law, but be-
cause of the trouble and annoy
ance of having to register, sew
eral months prior to the elec
tion, and to save the tax receipts
at least six months to exhibit in
order to be eligible to cast a
ballot.
This talk of reforming the
primary to prevent frauds is the
veriest kind of rot; we hear men
making such argument who
would not hesitate to override
the law to carry out their politi
cal ends, in fact, they have done
$50 in the past, and will do so again
asitsuits their purposes: but they
are now loud in their protests
against the other fellow; in
other words, what is a virtue
with some, is the most diabolical
rascality with others-Verily,
tbs a cry Of stop thief.
Mr.. Browning has been a
member Of the legislature for a
number of years. and, we have
no criticism to make of his re-
cord, but he was sent to the leg
is!ature under the rules of the
Democratic party as they. now
exist, and never did he complain
of the lnadequacy of these rules
until since he IS no longer a
member of the legislature; now
however, he joins with some
others. to restrict the ballot in
the primary to those who pre-.
sent their tax receipts and regis
tration certificates when they
offer to cast a ballot to signify
their choice for nominees Of a
party organization.
Some one has said, ''none but
the politicians object to the re-
stricted primary" but our obser-
vatiou is, the politicians NOT IN
OFFICE are alone making this
demand. and, should they secure
lit, there is no guarantee they
will not use the machinery for
the elimination Of those who are
not IN accord with them. Sup
pose it was necessary to have
the registration certificates in
the primary, and those in con-
troll now or hereafter, are deter
mined to stay in, could they not
have their partizans as reglstra'
ton officers who would be hard
to convince of the eligibility of
those not of their way of think
ing?
We would further ask, when
partisan feeling gets to the pitch
it was last year, would it not
be with a great deal of difficulty

A SQUARE DEAL
pretenseS

The Floreuce Times is the first,
50 far as we have seen, to begiu
to disparage Charles Carol
Sims OF B,rnwell who has an
uounced himself candidate for
governor. 1t says: "All we can
tell you is that be is small
lawyer from Barnweil with a
big. moustache. He inherits tie
ability to tell good romances. :"
We have been looking for just
such tactics from Certain news
papers. but we did not expect it
sosoon. The writer has not de
termined which of the very
many candidates for governor
he will support, there is plenty
of time to make a selection, but
we do not think it square TO at
tempt to prejudice the masses
against a candidate by alluding
to him us "a small lawyer when
the fact is Mr.. Sims has the rep.
utation of being one of the best
lawyers in the State, not only is
be a good lawyer, but a man Of
fine scholarly attalnments, a

tempt, to disparase a man like
Charles Carol Sims. Is unjust,
and will have just the opposite
affect. Our idea is to let all of
the candidates have a fair show,
treat them all with the respect
they deserve. and then let the
people Judge between them.

THE RAILROADS WIN.

1t is gratifying to note that
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington has rem
dered it's decision on the rai'ro ID
mileage book controversy. We
do not recall any question that
has been before the legislature
more embarrassing to many Of
the members than this. The
drummers are a splendid body
of men. and have warm personal
friends among the members Ct
the general assembly, who,
would have been glad to favor
them If they could have done so
conscientiously, but when they
were convinced the demands
made by the travelling mems or
ganizations could not be sus
tanned, they were forced to vote
against their contention. The
recent decision sustains the &C
ton of every senator and mem.
Der of the house who voted
against requiring the railroads
to pull mileage coupons on the
trains. NOW since it is settled
that the railroads cannot be
forced to pull mileage on the
trains, the demand for fat two
cent rate will be more exacting,
especially from certain element
of politicians who are always TO
be counted upon to find some
thing new to agitate; already
Governor Blease who expects
to go before the people next
summer, has given out a state

be- charged for passenger travel

ready convinced the majority
that the courts would not sus-
tain such legislation, and there

osition has 50 far failed; it would

that a two cent fat rate IS con.

considerable attention to encour.
aging the formation of boys corn
clubs, and as a result there has
been a great development in the
culture of this great food pro-
duct, now the agricultural de-
partment has taken up the mat
ter of organizing boys pig clubs
as a means to settle the grow
ing scarcity of the meat product.
We hope every community IN
this state will have one or more
of these clubs, and that within
the next two years this country
will be independent of the Wes-
sern meat supply.
