In a three hours speech, In which he
devoted 10 minutes to woman's suffrage
and the rest of the time to an attack on
Congressman ]. T. Hehin and his pos
sible candidacy for the United States SEN
ate, s. A. Hobson, brother of Capt r.
at the city hall last night Mr.. Hobson
was introduced by Chancellor Kelley. who
stated the purpose of the speaker which
was to answer Congressman Heflin' $
challenge to Captain Hobson to debate
the question OF woman suffrage in Ala
bama-
Mr.. Hobson prefaced his remarks by
stating that he was not and would not
be candidate for any office He stated
his purpose in challenging Mr.. Hefiin to
a debate was to "smolSe him out" and
that he had done so and that subsequent
events proved conclusivey to him that
Mr.. Heflln intended to run for the United
States Senate. Mr.. Hobson also made the
assertion that Congressman Hefiin had
issued the challenge to Captain Hobson
TO debate the equal suffrage question for
the reason that it would probably cost
the captain many votes and estrange
some of his strongest supporters.
Mr.. Hobson read the first part of his
speech from manuscript 1t teemed with
personal illusions to Mr.. Hefin. who he
alluded to at all times as u. Tom" Many
of his criticisms of Mr.. Heflins political
record were keenly sarcastic, while some
were rather bitter.
He spoke of the long friendship that
had existed between himself and Con-
gresham Helin and that 1t was laud-
able ambition for any man to aspire to
r. seat in the United States Senate He
reviewed at length some of the incidents
of Mr.. Hefiins career, particularly the
Roosevelt and Booker Washington Incl
dent and the shooting at a negro on a
street car in Washington.
Coming to the suffrage question he
stated that he had done his best to find
a single plausible argument against it.
and that the only question was as to
qualifications. He said women had proved
in every conceivable way. in the arts
and sciences, and in professional and
commercial life that they are the intel
lectual equals of men. Citing Mary john
son and Helen Keller as two examples
of woman's achievement. he entered into
scientific explanation of the physical
mental and spiritual evolution of the
human race and declared that to woman
was due every good trait and attribute
of the race
He said that as a rule men were moral
lepers, but that woman had in charge
the morals and virtues of the race and
her fidelity to her trust and the glorious
way she had kept her modesty and vir-
tue were responsible for all the good
In the world.
Mr.. Hobson requested the audience
whether in favor of equal suffrage or
not to ask questions. Several ladies
availed themselves of the opportunity and
asked pertinent questions which were
answered by him.
At the conclusion of his address he
read a poem on Tom Heflin, which it Is
understood he will have printed as a cam
paign document.
