 Judge Denson managed the senatorial campaign of Oscar W. Underwood in the Third district, one of the two districts considered, early in the campaign. doubt ful. As a result of his leadership, every county of the Third fell into the Under wood column, and Lee county, considered once very doubtful, returned an astound- ing majority of practically 7O0
 MT. Underwood is a very big man" said the judge, and it would have been greatly to the disadvantage of the state and section should we have failed in our efforts to return him to Washington | predict that in the Senate he will prove as useful as he has been in the House. The prominence which he acquired in the House will, a matter of fact, make 1t comparatively easy for him to acquire a position of semi-leadership in the Sem ate"

Evergreen Man Says South Alabama Counties Will Be for Trojan
 for Governor

Edwin C. Page of Evergreen, member of the legislature, passed through Bir- mingham yesterday en route to Franklin county where he will deliver several ad- dresses in the interest of Charles Hen derson, candidate for governor. He pre- diets that Conecuh county and practically all other south Alabama counties will give MT. Henderson fine majorities.
 'The indications, as I see them, added MT Page, point to the election of MT Henderson. The people want business administration and not one of turbulence, The time has not yet come when Ala bama can afford to permit a governor to spend four years In punishing his enemies and rewarding his friends.
 ''The followers of Captain Kolb in south Alabama are earnest in their support Of Henderson, and l have been surprise at the manner in which Seed men have ral- lied to the Trojan's standard.

Market Master A. J. Hall reports that the demands and variety of stuff at all of the markets except Ensley is very good. MT. Weatherly stated yesterday that the market movement had shown one thing so far and that was that the women of Birmingham are not satisfied with present market and trade conditions that they want change, but it remains to be seen as to what that change will be
 The whole thing is working toward the cooperative market" he said. in which suburb will organize company and employ one of their number or an outside man to manage it. buy stuff and distribute 1t to them on a mutual basis. each member paying only the actual cost or the stuff and it's distribution. nobody except the producer making any profit out or the concern and the whole concern chipping in so much pyr family toward the salary of the manager and employees who. run it. That's what We're coming to, but it probably will be a long time before We get it in Bir Birmingham."
