calculated to put the hero OF the Merri

of the state. Although regarded as a
fearless and reckless campaigner. ever
Captain Hobsons friends doubted that he
would have the temerity to unreasonably
TO attack the floor leader of the nationa
House of Representatives.
Captain Hobson is being much criti-
cized for his arraignment of Mr. Under
wood and opinion is general that he over
stepped the mark in assailing the man
regarded as the greatest Albanian OF
his day and as worthy of any office in
the gift of the people of his state.
Political Motive
There seems to be little doubt that Cap
tain Hobson was actuated solely by poll
teal motives in making his charges
against Mr.. Underwood. The impression
obtains that Captain Hobson, in bidding
for the prohibition vote, is endeavoring
10 align the democratic floor leader with
the liquor and moneyed interests. More
over, Captain Hobson is thought to be
anxious to take Mr.. Underwood away
from his duties at Washington and bring
him TO Alabama TO take part in the pres
emf sena torial campaign.

Clayton Coming to Alabama
| The report was circulated about the
capitol today to the effect that Henry ID.
Clayton will begin his campaign in Ala
bama this week. Several Of Mr.. Clayton's
close personal friends We're in Montgom-
cry today, and they declared they ex-
peeted him to put in his appearance by
Friday or Saturday. 1t is understood that
he will begin his campaign Immediately
after his arrival In the state, and that he
will at once begin a speaking tour Of
Alabama.
IT is positively stated that Mr.. Clayton
has no intention of retiring from the race,
and that he will conduct a campaign
haraeterized by all the vigor and agrees
sveness which he has shown on previous
occasions.
The senatorial race will probably over
shadow the gubernatoria race. With
three aspirants for the office of senator
who are regarded as national figures,
one of whom Is considered one of the
greatest statesmen of his time, the sena-
torial race is likely to attract the atten-
ton of the entire counry, and every in
dication is that the campaign will be one
of the liveliest that will have taken place
in Alabama in many years.

impossible that the members can have
