MIR. Patton's Letter

"Mr. David NJ. Spinks, p. o. Box ISL,
Thomasville, Ala.
Dear SiI-I have your good letter of
man Underwood's attitude toward cotton
tagging ana ties, and other legislation in
which the farmers have direct interest.
ITO Underwood, more than any other
man in the House belongs the credit for
placing bagging and ties on the free list.
He put them on the free list in his
famous farmers free list bill that he put
through Congress two years ago only to
be vetoed by Taft, and put them there in
the tariff bill which he introduced at
the beginning of this Congress, and which.
although modified by congressional com
mittees, the House and Senate, became
law with basging and ties made free.
"l1e has been equally active and effec-
tive furthering every one of the lesisla-
tive demands of the Farmers union and
other farmers organizations. For in
stance, twice he has made speeches for
and helped pass by his presence and votes
the Scott bill aimed at gambling in cot
ton; three times he has worked for,
argued for and voted for the immigra-
tion legislation the farmers have urged
he was very active in securing postal

more liberal appropriations for agricul-

and Cooperative Union of America. tes.
titles that Underwood is and has always
been the friend of the farmer, and that
| Hobson has not Interested himself in
the man of the rural districts.
The testimony is that of farmer who
spends his time laborng in legislative
circles in the interest of the farmer. Cap
tain Hobson's testimony is that of an in
dividual interested in securing assistance
whereby he might elevate himself to high
er office.
The crucial sentence in the Patten let
| ter follows
Underwood is always on the job
doing what he can to get our bills out
of committee and through Congress,
while IIobson never seems to take
| any interest or active part in further
| ing our legislative demands
And another of Hobson's charges how
ering unsustained by proof for several
days, is by proof rendered as limp as a
wet rag. Mr. Patten is the agent of the
| farmer and what he says is in the interest
| of the farmer. 1t is natural that he
wishes 10 elect the man who has aided
the farmer, for he takes record of the
past and not empty words for the promise
of the future.
! His letter is addressed to an Alabamian,
David NJ. Spnks orf Thomasville. Mr..
Spnks had heard of Hobson's charges.
| Had they been true, he might have sup
| ported Hobson. But before reaching a
| decision he determined to know If the
| charges were true or made for political
| purposes. So he wrote to Mr.. Patten. AS
a result he win not support Mr.. Hobson.
| In view of the Hobson charges, the
| letter of Mr. Patten is a remarkable
| document. The writer says that more
than any other man, Mr.. Underwood
| deserves credit for putting cotton bag
| gng and ties on the free list that Mr..
| Underwood aided the passage of the
| Scott bill aimed at gambling in cot
ton, that Mr.. Underwood and Mr..
Shackelford are largely credited for
| the creation and passage of the
Shackelford bill providing federal aid
| for good roads in the several states,
! that while Hobson declined to discuss
| the immigration bill or vote for or
against 1t, Mr.. Underwood gave the
| measure valuable assistance, and fin

 So close was the race between Jack son and McCurdy that it was several minutes before the spectators could learn who had won. The men came into the home stretch shoulder to shoulder. Thirty yards from the tape McCurdy led by about a foot. Cap tain Jackson made a last desperate effort to take the lead and just man aged to shove his shoulder ahead of McCurdy, who was close to the pole. Then he swerved slightly in toward the pole until the shoulders of the two men were almost touching with Jackson's just in front. This was their position at the tape.

Complete Reversal on Favorable Shift
 in Mexican Situation.

New York April 27-The shift In the Mexican situation caused a com qlete- reversal in the stock market to-
 day. The proposal for mediation and Huerta's reported acceptance came at time when the market had been
 sold out and was in an exceptionally strong position technically. It was
 owing to this condition of affairs that
 the, market made such 6 swift and de-
 ctded response as came today. Shorts were stampeded and for half and hour
 after the opening trading was excited.
 First prices were one to four points
 higher.

 was spectacular. This stock lost Il
 points last week. owing to fears of
 damage to It's property located in

 today, and then bounded up to 6S, an
 advance of 14 1-4. No such perform
 ance had been witnessed on the stock
 exchange since the historic flare in
 Rock Island several years ago MeI-
 can Petroleum had been heavily sold
 on last weeks break and today'S spurt was due to efforts of paniclzy shorts to cover. As soon as the rush was over
 the price fell back swiftly. At the close it had lost all it's 15 points gain and a point more.
 Smeltins, which also has large in terests in Mexico, made an exceptional gain of four points. Every part of
 the list showed decided strength, but the upturn was due principally to covering and resulted in little in the way of aggressive bullish operations The prospects, of successful settlement of the Mexican problem by mediation were considered too uncertain to justi-
 fly confident trading on the long side. Prices in consequence fell off after the
 excited covering of the early session was over. The market was dull and IJnHRYSa fill The Ia St hnnT yVhnT S. sure was applied and large part of

NEW YORK MAJORS
 HOLD P1TcHIN RECORDS
Yankees and Giants Men Have Been
 Very Successful.

Pitchers employed by New York clubs hold the major league records Counting from 1s0D for winning the greatest number of games in a season. Jacw Chesbro led the Yam kees to 41 victories in 1904, the year he sprang the spitba1l on the object ing opposition, and that mark never has been beaten. Christy MatherSon piIoted the Giants to 37 wins four years later and then hung up Ma t1onal League record that still stands.
 Chesebro's record of Al wins almost was equaned by Ed. Walsh of the White Sox in 1908, the big spitball ex- pert coming through with 40 tri- umphs. The third best record in the American league is held by Walter Johnson of Washington, who, while winning a Chalmers car last year the Red Sox, the year previous, an nexed 34. American leaguers who have won g games in season are Johnson and Cy Young, while Jack Coombs and Cy succeeded in winning 31 games in a campaign.
 In the National league, in the last thirteen years, the men who have are Mathewson, who has turned the trick four times. and Joe McGinnity. who has turned it twice. Christy came out on top in 37 battles in 1908, won Se in 1904, landed 31 in 1905 and was victorious in 30 in 1903.
 Just 30 men have succeeded in win ming 25 or more games in a year since the American league expanded in 1901.6 Of these heroes not one was a Cardinal, Brown, a Redlag or Brewer.
