CAMPAIGN IN ALABAMA
WILL CLOSE THIS WEEK
Picturesque Political Fight Between
Messrs. Underwood and Hobson
Goes to Voters Monday.

The picturesque political fight between
Representative Oscar Underwood, and
his colleague. Representative Richmond
Pearson Hobson of Alabama, will come
to a close Saturday night of this week
The voters of Alabama will ballot in the
primaries on the following Monday one
week from today, the result indicating
which of the two will become United
States senator from that state. Primary
choice is equivalent to an election, as
there are no republican or progressive
aspirants The fight has been war to
the bitter end. and will result IN the
disappearance of one of the other from
public life for the time being, as lar as
representation in Washington is con-
cerned as candidates for the House are
to be chosen at the same time. II KEEP
resentative Hobson loses the fight he
cannot undertake to become candidate
for the House of Representatives, and
the same is true of Representative In
derwood. as the districts represented by
both men will be represented by can
didates who will be voted for in the
primaries Monday.
Although far removed from Washing
ton the Alabama state fight has more
most states. because of the prominence
of the two men. and because of their
wide acquaintance here. Claims OF VIC
tory are heard on either side, with equal
candor and assurance. However, De
cause Representative Underwood is
tremendously popular in the House of
Representatives, in that political hot
house he is given better chance than
Hobson's friends in Alabama are giving
him.
Filled With Personal Attacks.
The Underwood Hobson contest has
been filed with personal attacks. in
terna1 strife and has even been dragged
into the debates of Congress, much
to the distress and genuine regret of
Leader Underwood. 1t will be remem-
bered that the most picturesque row
was the result of the remark of an in
nocent by-stander Representative Jere-
miah Donovan of Connecticut, a new
democrat who is endeavoring to fill
with low tariff feet the high tariff
shoes of Ebenezer Hill late of the
fourth district of Connecticut. Mr..
Donovan one day attacked Representa-
tive Hobson for being absent nearly
all the time, and when Hobson re-
turned to reply a few days later he
jumped the track and assaulted Mr..
Underwood bitterly. charging him with
an alliance with pIethorically rich in
terests, which in politics is alleged
to be great and unforgivable crime.
Mr. Underwood made a reply which
was a classic. and the reception given
it by all three parties in the House in
dictated that personally the democratic
leader is a favorite with his colleagues
except with Mr.. Hobson.
While Mr.. Underwood has been hard
at work in the House for the admins
tration, preparing the tariff bill and
getting it through an extra session,
Mr.. Hobson has been campaigning il

TOO MUCH TALK OF TOLLS,
VIEW OF SPEAKER CLARK
Democratic Leader Discusses Monroe
Doctrine and War in Mexico in
New York Speech.

NEW YORK, March 3O.-Champ Clark,
speaker of the House of Representatives,
spoke in optimistic vein yesterday at the
bedford branch of the Young Mems
Christian Association in Brooklyn. OPP
umlsm was the Speakers topic, his dis
cusslon covering a wide range of sub
Jects. Asked. before he began to speak,
to say something about the tolls question,
Mr.. Clark replied: There has been too
much said about it already" He said he
knew Congress like a book, and a more
honest set of men never cong1 egated.
1t doesn't take as much sense to be a
good President he said. as it does to
make good congressman. A President
has his cabinet to advise him, while a
congressman has to think for himself"

FACT.
Local Evidence.

Evidence that can be verified.
Fact is what we want. Opinion is
not enough. Opinions differ. Here's
a Webster City fact. You can test it.
Mrs. Fannie A. Pyle, 507 Bank St.,
Webster City, Iowa, says: For sew
eral years my back was weak and
sore and found it hard to stoop or
get up from a chair. There were
sharp pains through my kidneys,
which felt like thrust of knife
and occasionally extended into my
shoulders. The kidney secretions al
so caused me great annoyance. I
doctored and used various remedies
but without benefit until a friend
finally advised me to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. They acted directly
upon my kidneys, restoring them to
normal condition and removing
the backache. am willing that
you refer to me at any time as one
who recommends Doan's Kidney
Pills very highly"
TWICE TOLD TESTIMONY.
On April 10, 1912, Mrs. Pyle said:
II haven't had to use Doan's Kidney
Pills or any other kidney remedy
since they cured me some years ago.
You may continue to publish all Il
ever said praising them"
