Examine the Record

LET us examine the record of the
distinguished gentleman whose name
shall present to you. First, has he been
faithful? He has been in Congress for
nearly 20 years without a challenge for
the job from his district. 1t is a logical
conclusion that his constituents
think So
Has. he attended to his duty? The
record shows a constant attendance
upon the sessions of Congress, hard
work and study of it's problems
Is he able? Let his great work stand
forth, in the harmonizing of party fac
tions, in constructive craftsmanship and
in the fulfilment of party pledges by
laws enacted. Leadership such as this is oil
no common type, but stands out as one
of the blazing demonstrations of Ameri-
can craftsmanship and leadership, per-
haps with but few equals If any in the
democratic party. He has the concillia-
tory capacity of Clay, the philosophy of
Calhoun, the logic of Webster and the
transcendent courage of old Hickory
Andrew Jackson.
He hasn't the oratory of some people,
which doesn't amount to much anyway
unless something is said. He has had no
opportunity to display heroism in a single
act but he has done greater things He
has not been employed by chautauqua
organizations for TIE reason that he pre-
fers to earn his salary paid by the people
and not sacrifice his duty to the people
to acquire supplemented funds. Tt seems
to me that a record such as this pre-
sents very favorable category of facts
that itemize the qualifications of a Uni
ted States senator. If it is the duty of
United States senator to blow up
boat under the fire of an enemy, a great
brave and heroic act, to make chautauqua
and popular lectures. to increase ones
funds and keep In the limelight, then
Oscar Underwood Is not the man, as
judged by the record.
Fidelity TO Duty
But if fidelity to his duty and con-
stituents, hard study and hard work.
constructive craftsmanship and mastery
leadership and clean political methods.
are recommendations, the record shows
that he is the man.
Ladies and gentlemen, state pride is
no vanity. but an essential sentiment.
Who in Alabama is not proud of this
man? Recognition of faithful. honest
and successful service is not bigotry or
herc-worship, but the Acknowledgement
of worth and merit, an1 promotion is
nothing but grateful and just apprecia-
ton of a fair and honest people of a
faithful and worthy public servant

'SAVINCSBAkK ACCOUNTS
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
From the NEWS Correspondent.


Trenton, March 8:-The school
authorities throughout the state are
much interested in the bill intro
duced in the assembly by Assembly
man Robert F. Buckley, of Passaic
county, making it legal in this state
for public school departments to
conduct authorized savings bank ac-
counts in the school, the pupils being
The depositors and direct beneficial
ries. In several sections of the state
the school authorities have felt that
it would encourage thrift on the part
Of the scholars to encourage them in
maintaining savings bank deposits,
and in some of the cities savings
banks were established, the aggre-
gate deposits of the pupils being de-
posted with the local bank. There
was no state law permitting this,
however, and on this account the
plan. generally has not been a sue
cess.
The Buckley bill makes 1t lawful
for any person designated for the
purpose by the Board Of Education,
to collect once a week or from time
to time, small amounts of savings
from the pupils of the school, these
amounts to be deposited by the
designated person on the day of col
lection in some savings bank. The
money is to be placed to the credit
of the respective pupils from whom
it shall be collected.

lenge to Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn,
of Jersey City, and Frank s. Kat
zenbach. Jr., of this city, the other
avowed candidates, has had the ex-
pected effect. 1t has led to redou-
bled efforts in the other camps.

sey District, which inclndes a part
of Jersey City, today issued state
ment declaring in favor OF Mayor

OPPOSITION To CURRENCY
BILL CAUSES REACTION

Washington. Nov. 6.-An open
break between President Wilson and
those senators opposed 10 the Glass
owen currency bill seemed today TO
be certain. II was stated that the
president fatty disapproyed of the
radical changes proposed in the meas
ure by the combination OF democrats
and republicans in control of the
senate banking and currency COM
mittee.
IL was declared In administration
circles this afternoon that President
Wilson would resort to party eau
Gus unless the committee opponents
OF the bill recede from their stand.
Senator Simmons OF North Caro-
lima, chairman OF the senate finance
committee, was a caller at the White
House today. Later Simmons admit
ted that democratic leaders we're con-
slderlng a caucus 10 1orce the presl-
dents views on the currency bill
through.
81 believe we will have to take
such a step" said Simmons, but we
will wait a few days to see what the
combination, now apparently In con-
troll OF the committee, will do"
Later in the day Senator Thomp-
son OF Kansas also conferred with
the president, and he, too, predicted
that a caucus would be necessary.
Senator Simmons was expected to
lead the caucus fight and II was pre-
dicted that the insurgents would be
defeated five TO one.

ANTI-JEWISH OUTBREAK
THREATENED IN RUSSIA

Kieff, Russia, Nov. 6-An anti
Jewish outbreak seriously threaten
ed here today as result Of Prose-
cutor Wippers bitter denunciation
of the race in his speech yesterday
afternoon, following the conclusion
of testimony in the Mendel Bells
trial.
The prosecutor did not conflne
himself to the charge that Bells
murdered the 12-year-old Andrei
Muschlnsky He declared Jewish
ritual murders" common. He SEEM
ed to be doing his best to stir the
Christian population of Kieff to vio-
lence against their Jewish fellow
townsmen. His address was an out
rageous one and It plainly had its
effect for anti-Jewish mutterings be-
gan to be heard directly after Wiper
had finished.
There was strong force of cav
airy in town, ostensibly to prevent
pogrom, but few Thought It likely
that the soldiers we're under orders
honestly to protect the Jewish popu-
lation.
Arguments were continued today
at the Bells trial. Attorney Grous-
enberg, for the defense. asserted that
not scintllla OF evidence had been
brought out connecting his client
with the murder and rldiculed the
stories OF human sacrifices by the
Jews.
The Jurors listened, apparently in
wooden Indifference. II was the gen.
eral impression that the Jurors would
disagree, but under Russian law a
majority is sufficient for a conviction
or an acquIttal The individual on
trial is considered innocent in case
OF tie.
Bells plainly showed the effect OF
the strain he has been under for so
long, He writhed nervously and
seemed repeatedly on the point OF
another collapse.
