View Claims Impartially

Washington, January 17,-All just
claims against the Mexican govern
ment will be viewed equally, regard
less of the nationality of claimants, in
determining the policy of the United
States toward recognition of any gov
ernment that may succeed the Huerta
re gime In Mexico, in the opinion of
those who are watching developments
closely. 1t was said today that reiter-
alton of this attitude had been the only
assurance given American claimants
who have made inquiries because of
the announced purpose of Huerta to
default in the semi annual interest
payment of the public debt.
1t was pointed out that the attitude
of the United States made it unlikely
that any Mexican government would
he recognized which did not acknowl-
edge national debts contracted before
President Wilson's declaration against
tho Huerta government
Similar inquiries in behalf of forei gn
holders of Mexican securities reached

crossing the country. A fall of 10 to 20
degrees was very general from the In
terror of the gulf states to the lakes.
While the temperatures are not quite so
low In the west, and moderate rise
has started there, it still seasonably cold.
The low pressure cenecr in the far north
west is moving slowly eastward, attended
by a gradual temperature rise in the
northern Rocky mountains, but it will
be at least 96 hours before it advances
far enough eastward to change tenpera-

in the temperature is to be expected in
northern Alabama Sunday, where slightly
below normal readings will prevail
Moderate precipitation occurred in the
eastern lake and New England states.
Snow or rain continued beyond the

So. despite the fact that Mr.. Underwood,

duty in Washington. there is at home
psychological factor. of wide sweeping
Influence, working in his behalf.
The followers of Mr.. Underwood are
Jubilant. Mr.. Hobsons present course
of procedure is construed by them as be-

OF certain overwhelming defeat. In the

HObson on Defensive
The situation has undergone little
change. There is little doubt among we'll

derwood has an overpowering advantage
which indicates in positive manner his
brilliant success 1t is a question of ma
jority. 1t is certain that Mr.. Underwood
will not receive all the votes of the peo-
pie. But 1t Is certain that he will be
nominated and elected.
During the past week, Mr.. ITobson has
been in northeast Alabama. He has been
perpetually on the defensive. He has been
endeavoring to answer Mr.. Underwood's
charge that he is unsound on the great
issue of white supremacy. He has ex-

Who the Reactionary?

Captain Hobson's declaration that Mr..
Underwood is a reactionary has caused
tho usands of people to investigate the
records of the two.
And it has been learned that Mr.. I'm
derwood in the tariff bill removed the
burden of $13000,00o in taxation from the
shoulders of the poor and Tut it, through
the medium of an income tax, on the
shoulders of the rich. They have found
out that he has put pig iron, in the manu-
IA Cture of which he is financially inter-
ested, on the free list; that he put wire
on the free list despite the fact that on
the day he walked on the floor of the
House to Introduce the bill a great plant,
| seeking possibly to ntimidate him, closed
It's doors and turned 5000 men out of en-
pioyment And they have found that Mr..
Underwood has been on the job for 10
years and that his every vote has been
il keeping with the democratic faith
On the other hand, they have learned
that in seven years Mr.. Hobson has intro
ducee 26S bills and passed but five of
them; that he has been absent more than
half of the time of his service. They have
found that despite his oratory in regard
to education, he, although for a term
member of the educational committee, Sc
cured the passage of no bill, and that he
afterward declined the craftsmanship OF
tEat commmittee to retain his position as
a member of the committee on naval af-
fairs. They have found from the record
tha: he voted four times with John Dali
zell, Joseph G.. Cannon and Serene
Payne, high priests of "standpat" re-
publcans, to maintain prohibtive tax on
lumber, in the manufacture of which his
district, the Sixth, is interested.
AS result they have asked themselves
the question: After all, who is the pro-
gressive and who the reactionary? Who
