'Reactionaries who think to weaken the
advocacy of progressive measures by de-
claring that they are the products of
'hysteria were roundly denounced by
Secretary Daniels.
"A few days ago." Mr.. Daniels said, "a
distinguished educator, of a southern

that such new and progressive measures

referred to certain modern American
political doctrines as wild theories,
which common sense and wise experience
demand be rejected as the result of hys-
teria.'
"Hysteria" Hurts
"The real trouble is that this so-called
'hysteria hurts. 1t keeps party pledges
it does not take from labor the bread it
earns it makes protection built wealth
pay income tax. 1t elects senators di-
rect from the people. They call 1t hys-
terra because 1t means we can have no
more senators from the New York Cen
trail railroad; no more senators from the
Southern Express company; no more SEN
ators from the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad; no more senators
from the Standard Oil trust.
''They call 1t hysteria because it pre-
vents the classes from exploiting the
masses, and brings the government back
to the people. After all, the real hyster-
cals are not the people who stand upon
the housestops and cry for reform, but
the people who are guarding special privi-
lege and are seeing the castles built by
privilege tumble down about their heads.
mo. gentlemen" continued the secre-
tary, "the victims of hysteria are not the
forward looking, promise keeping re-

that this new way, this gospel of pro-
gressive craftsmanship, is best for the

day, Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson
wound up his whirlwind campaign of the
Fourth congressional district in an ad-
dress at oxford Wednesday evening to
an enthusiastic audience.
In this address Captain Hobson fol-
lowed largely the same line of argument
on the day before. trying to prove his
charge that Oscar w. Underwood. his
opponent in the race for the United States
Senate, is a tool of the liquor interests
and a reactionary, with leanings toward
Wall street.
To substantiate these charges, Captain
Hobson accused his opponent of having
voted against the Jones-Works bill to
regulate the sale of liquor in the District
of Columbia, of having voted the straight
liquor ticket in Jefferson county and of
having lined up for the Webb bill only
after it's passage had been assured He
quoted from speeches of w. j. Bryan,
from The Commoner and from the rec
ords of the Baltimore convention to prove
that Underwood represents the moneyed
interests. He also charged that Under
wood had voted in committee against the
farmers interests in a consideration of
the currency bill. He ridiculed him for
supporting Tyler Goodwin for district
attorney of the middle district of Ala
