Underwood WINS
70GA IN ALABAMA
DEMOCRATIC HOUSE LEADER is
NAMED SENATOR FROM STATE
OF ALABAMA.
A HEAVY VOTE WAS CAST
Ticket Was Very Long, and Count Was
Necessarily Slow in All
Precincts.

Birmingham, Ala.-Oscar W. Under
wood triumphed over Richmond p.
Hobson in the contest before Demo-
cratic primaries throughout the state
for the nomination to the United
States senate. Owing, toSAhe com
plexity and length of the ballots COM
plete returns were slow in coming in.
The protracted struggle for the nom
ination between the two distinguished
candidates terminated with 4 record
breaking vote by Alabama Democrats.
Interest in the contest for the short
term in the United States senate, the
nomination Of ten congressman, a gov
ernor and other state and county OFF,
GERS also brought thousands to the
polls.
Mobile Ala.-Mobile and south Ala
bama pollcd the heaviest vote In years.
The total in Mobile county will reach
5000. Underwood swept south Ala
bama. Conner, for governor, led Kolb
in the country precincts, but Kolb took
a wide lead in the city. Henderson
and Seed were not in the running
here.
Mr.. Underwood made the following
statement:
II am thoroughly satisfied with the
primary election. Tie splendid ma
jority given ME in the state I attrib-
ute to the magnificent work that my
friends have done for me in my alb
sence. The result I feel is personal
vindication and n distinct approval of
my remaining in Washington and at
tending to my official duties. But af-
ter all is said, the final conclusion
must be that it is more Of victory
Tor fundamental Democratic principles
than for myself"

Washing: :Nn.--There was every indi-
cation that the announcement Of the
reserve districts and cities by the re-
serve bank organization committee had
given the signal for a determined
"struggle upon the ipart Of several cit
it's which, were disappointed to over
turn the committee on the decision
and bring about redistricting Of the
country, Or at least a change in the
reserve cities named.
Under the law the decision Of the
organization committee IS not su. .Ject
to review except by the federal reserve
board. This board probably, will not
be named by President Wilson for sew
eral weeks, but in the meantime it is
believed that those disappointed with
the committees announcement will
bend every effort toward paving the
way for changes. It was pointed out
that both Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and Comptroller Of the Cur
rency Williams Of tho organization
committee, are ex-officio members Of
the reserve board, and hardly could
be counted upon to reverse themselves.
The president has given no intimation
as to whom the other five members
will be.

Ito SENATOR O'GoRMAN'S
COMMITTEE.
Spectacular and Heated Debate Is
Expected When Measure Is
Introduced.

Washington. The administration
bill to repeal tolls exemption for all
American coastwisc ships in the Pan
anna canal, which passed the house
amid spectacular scenes reached the
senate and was referred promptly to
the committee on inter-occapic canals
without debate.
Senator O'Gorrpan, chairman Of the
canals committee, who is marshaling
the anti-administration forces, an
nounced definitely that he would call
Il meeting OF the committee for next
Tuesday. Until that time, no formal
consideration Of the repeal measure or
proposed amendments can develop. AL
though friends Of the president had
hoped to have the canals commit
tee meet earlier, they decided to make
no effort to induce Senator OGorman
to change his plans. They will insist
however upon action within reason
able time after the committee gets
down to work.

Wilson's Views on Justice.

nounced the principle that is guiding

ants. He said he did not believe in
choosing men who would decide ques,
tions In certain way, but would sc.
lect those whom he knew to be just

to him it seemed justice was the hard
est thing in the world to obtain and
that it required more courage than
dny other one thing. Mr.. Wilson was

BANKS ARE ASKED TO ACT
Every Effort Will Be Made to Expe-

Washington.-Every effort will be
exerted by the federal reserve bank
organization committee to have all
banks expedite the formal steps nee.

teakaae1ltioI
Of The committee, appar-
ent Pe no expectation that there
will any financial crisis to face
requiring the assistance to banks
which the resrve system will pro-
vide, but they are particularly anxious
to have the twelve reserve banks in
the field when crop moving time comes
around next fall. They hope to be
able at that time to demonstrate how
easily and quickly the reserve sys-
TEN will take care Of situation which
in previous years has caused financial
worry, and which last fall led to d.
rect loans from the United States
treasury to national banks in the farm
ing regions.
Under the new law the several steps
to be taken by the banks might be de-
layed SO that there would be little
chance Of setting the reserve banks
up before autumn, but if the banks
respond promptly there is little rea,
son to believe that the organization
will be deferred much longer
