IL is not the purpose OF tlle tau-
Caslan 10 m"ddle i'll The poHllcai ui'-
terenccs arising between Reples'h-
tative Hobson and Democratic Lead
or Underwood who are candidates
for the United States Senate lFohl
the State of Alabama, but as report
ed from Washington Congressman
Hobson has indulgod in blttef
speech rejecting on Congressman
Underwood, who kept his temper
while being scored. He charged ttlal
Underwood was a dummy used as
a tool and that if he had been a
dummy and used as a tool OF Wai'
street he could be used by the liquor
interests or any other interest"
It would seem that Congressman
Hobson did not impress his hearers
favorably in his charge that Con
gressman Underwood was seeking
the presidential nomination at Bal
timore ''by false pretenses."
As Underwood rose to reply ht
was cheered enthusiastically by botf
Democrats and Republicans. Having
uueried if any one believed wha
Hobson had charged. there were
ready responses of mo" all over th'
House. Underwood then reviewed
Hobson's record and pointed ou
that he had opposed free lumber il
the 1903 tariff fight and had Away:
supported the propaganda OF tn
great ship-building interests.
Congressman Hobson's purpose i
plain, but he may unexpectedly real
ize boomerang. If he would Sc
cure the United States senatorshll
from Alabama he must submit argu
ment and not deal in abuse nor gen
eralities.
Congressman Underwood as tn
Democratic leader of the House ha
scored a triumph in the successful
revision of the tariff doWnwar
through the bill which bears hi
name which Hobson could scarcel
overcome.
