RUMORS Of NEW
PICTURE SHOW
REPORT SAYS THAT BIG VAUDE-
VILE HOUSE is SOON TO BE
OPENED HERE.

There has been a persistent rumor
for some time that Ardmore was GO
ing to have another place of entertain
ment in the nature of a vaudeville
theatre and picture show and that the
house would be one of a well known
circuit playing the southwest, with
some of the best attractions in the
country. Whether there is any truth
in the rumor or not, is a question that
remains unanswered, but the fact re-
mains that every few days it can be
heard discussed in the lobby of a GER
tain hotel of the city.
The building selected, if the rumor
is correct, is the old Democrat build
ing on b street, ~ w, opposite the
Randol Annex This was built origin
ally for a vaudeville theatre and pic
ture show and before it burned out
was the only real high class theatre
In the city. The building could easily
he converted into a handsome little
theatre and with the outlay of a mod
crate amount of money be made the
equal of anything in Fort Worth or
Oklahoma City, and there is little rea-
son to doubt but what a theatre of
that character would be a paying pro-
position here.

NEIL TALKS OF HIS
 MONTGOMERY VISIT
Only Fear Is That Lest, Overconfi- dent, Underwood Men Should
 Cease Their Efforts

R. E. L. Neil, assistant manager Of
 the senatorial campaign of Oscar w. Underwood, while attending the Lacy
 trial in Montgomery, encountered many people All of them, he said, told him
 that Underwood had "cinch." So one sided, as a matter of fact, was the | information he received that he grew
 restless. fearing lest, over-confident,
 the Underwood fighters would stop
 their efforts.
 Of his visit to Montgomery he spoke | as follows.
 | There Is only one danger, and that
 is over-co confidence on the part of
 friends of MT. Underwood. l have
 talked to large number of democrats
 from all parts of Alabama during the
 week and they say without exception
 that the senatorial fight is over. that
 Mr. Underwood is a certain winner and
 that his majority will be from SO.000
 to 35,000. I know, as far as human
 knowledge can penetrate the future
 that MT. Underwood's nomination is as-
 sured, but very much deplore and am apprehensive of a condition of over confidence. The opponent to MT. Un- derwood is a tireless campaigner, ac- tive, alert and energetic. He has been over the state five or six times, back ! tracking his trail and spreading the misleading, insinuating doctrine that suits his fancy according to the local ity In which he happens to be. There fore it behooves the friends of Mir. Underwood to keep everlastingly on the job themselves, emulating the praiseworthy example of their chief who feels that his duty is paramount to ambition, and rrefers to remain at his post in Washington to galavanting all over Alabama urging an intelligent electorate to Send Me

Proof of the charge that the repub- lican party has entered into a con spiracy 10 encompass the defeat of Os- car w. Underwood, the main support of the democratic administration, is secured.

, charge that MT. Underwood, in making the tariff bill, took the tax off whisky and put IL on the bagging and ties of the farmer. It is a. matter of record | that the republican tax on liquor was not removed. C. s. Hamlin, assistant
 secretary of the treasury, put an end to the dispute concerning bagging and ties when he wired that at the present l lime, bagging and ties, under the pro- visions of the Underwood tariff bill,
 are being admitted without question, free of duty.
 And then Hobson preferred the | charge that MT Underwood was the
 enemy of the farmer J. H. Patten,
 national counsel at Washington of the Farmers Educational and Cooperative l Association of America, in a letter to
 Mr. Spink of Thomasville, declared | that MT. Underwood had always been faithful to the farmer, and that MT. liobson had never displayed any in terest in the welfare of the farmer. And then Hobson preferred charges | to the effect that Mir. Underwood had fought certain provisions of the cur rency bill because they would be of benefit to the poor man. Carter Glass. chairman of the committee on bank ing, which committee handled the
 great currency bill. over his sigma ture denied the truth of this charge, and declared that the only serious dis
 pute which was engendered as a result of the discussion of that bill was set tied amicably through the wisdom and statesmanship of the great Alabamian. And then Hobson charged that Mr Underwood was out of favor with MT Wilson, the president. and Mr. Bryan the Secretary of the State. that Mr. Underwood was a reactionary, while Wilson and Bryan-and Hobson-were progressives.
 The captains strong ally the Phil
 adelphia North American, an officious republican sheet, which expends it's

 argument. It's representative sent into
 Alabama to instruct Alabama and who
 declared ths state backward and

 the people of this state on account of the fact that the "color line" is

 oemocrats-referred to MT. Underwood
 with i'll concealed contempt, as "the
 strong ally of President Wilson"
 It is anticipated that there will be
 other charges. When they are pre-

 will be disproved. The landslide

THE ROBSON BUBBLE HAS
 COMPLETELY COLLAPSED
Alabama Proves Unresponsve Eloquence Which Has Made Charges Against Underwood Everyone of Which Has
 Been Completely Disproved
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

The Hobson bubble has completely collapsed. Alabam remains as unresponsive to he captains eloquence as if Alabama was a corpse.
 The first statement causes no sur prise. For every well posted man in Alabama knew that Hobson would be beaten. In the second statement, how ever, there is a sensation in politics. No man as industrious as Hobson, as indefatigable as Hobson, as skilled in Reclamation as Hobson as smooth in adriot appeal as Hobson, as clever in dramatic climaXes as Hobson, has ever in Alabama history fared so badly.
 There are reasons offered The one is that by his permanent residence in Alabama during the session of Con- gress, he impresses the ordinary man with the idea that he has a fine dis regard for hts duty, that he is drawing money belonging to the people without discharging the duties imposed by the people.
 The other is that Hobson preferred too many charges against his opponent. Oscar W. Underwood, democrat. and was able to prove none of them.
 
 In the beginning, Hobson charged that Underwood was the tool of the liquor interests. This was regarded as q joke. He next charged that his support of the Webb anti-shipping bill was insincere. l. Y. Webb, author of the bill. authorized the publication of letters proving this charge unfounded.
 And then Hobson charged that Un- derwood was the tool of big business. The tariff bill proved that charge un- founded, and the story of the tariff bill proved that on four occa sons, MT. Hobson voted with DalzI1, Cannon, Payne and other high priests of re- publican protection in an effort to re- tain the prohibitive republican tariff on lumber. manufactured in the Sixth district.
 And then Hobson charged that Un- derwood was unfriendly to labor Let ters published on authority of Samuel Gompers and Frank Morrison, national labor leaders, proved that Underwood was and had been the friend of labor, and that Hobson was not and had not been. 2
