Hon. Oscar W. Underwood; you are
charged or rather quoted as having
publicly stated, In your recent Wetumpka
speech, that he CUnderwood) was a SER
want of Wall street and tool of the
whisky interests. This charge Is either
reflection upon your Intelligence or
your honesty. Just as you falsely charged
me with being allied with the liquor in
terests; a charge made solely for selfish
purpose. Now you falsely charge Mr.. I'm
derwood with the same thing. Everybody
knows that your charge against Mr.. I'M
derwood Is false, and made for selfish
purposes of advancing your own cause
President Wilson approved the Underwood
bill; you would doubtless charge that he

crowd, If such charge would In your
opinion secure you votes in Alabama.
feel honored to be put in company with
such distinguished Americans. Besides
the false charge that you make against
Mr.. Underwood Is a reflection upon our
beloved President and the present demo-
cratic administration as we'll.
Again in your Wetumpka speech last
Monday you are quoted as. follows:
THAT when You purchase horse you
want to see its teeth; therefore, the peo-
pie want to see a candidates teeth. Tell
Oscar w. Underwood to come to Alabama
and show his teeth"
This low, vulgar expression from you Is
unworthy to be uttered by any Christian
gentleman, and especially one asking the
people of Alabama for the highest office
within the gift of the state. You should
not only ask Mr.. Underwood's pardon,
but you should pray in secret for forgive
ness Mr.. Underwood private and public
life Is pure and beyond any just criticism,
and you are the first and only man that
has ever had the audacity to sling mud
at his character. The people of Alabama
know Oscar w. Underwood and Henry
d. Clayton, and 1t Is not necessary for
either of these distinguished AlabamianS
to reply to your low "Billingsgate." To
show your Inconsistency, Captain Hob-
son, in the same speech you say that Mr..
Underwood Is needed in the House and
he should remain there as the leader of
the party; yet according to your charges
he is unworthy to occupy a place in the
Senate, because you brand hin tool
of the money powers and the whisky in
terests. Consistency, thou art a jewel"
