MIR. Underwood then explained his at

sary. | cannot afford to remain in Ala
bama during my campaign for senator,
for I am needed in Washington, but 1
want to tell you that when Captain Hob
son and his Pharisees make statements
concerning my record and service | should
like to have you ask that they substan-
tiate their charges. Captain Hobson has
made charges that [ am the tool of the
liquor interests and of Wall street. II
Captain Hobson cannot substantiate these
charges, he is unworthy of the consid-
GRAFTON of the people-he is unworthy to
fill the high office to which he aspires" !"
Mr. Underwood then referred to his
work in behalf of agricultural develop
ment in his district.
Before Captain Hobson became mem
Der of Congress, l had had agricultural
surveys made in every county in my dis
trict. There are four out of the nine
counties which Captain Hobson represents
which have not yet had survey"
The democratic leader told of his fight
to place cotton bagging and cotton ties
on the free list, and of his success in
placing fencing wire on the free list.
Captain Hobson charges that i am the
tool of the special interest when large
Birmingham industry threatened my
political downfall if l put fencing wire
on the free list. Would this seem that
am the tool of the corporation"
He declared that the items placing cot
ton bagging and cotton ties on the free
list were in the original bill which he
introduced and which was vetoed by
President Taft
Brownsville Incident
Mr.. Underwood discussed the Browns
vile, Tex, incident, and referred to Cap
tain Hobson's attitude with respect to the
color line" He said that his opponent
in his years of service in Congress had
only succeeded in passing five out of PCS
bills which he had introduced.
Mr.. Underwood was given close atten-
tion throughout his address, and was Wig
crously applauded from time to time. AL
though fatgued from his two previous er-
forts, the democratic leader made a
strong address at Tallassee, and 1t was
evident that the sentiment of the audi
ence was in his favor. His victory in
this part of the county is assured, esti-
mates giving him three-fourths OF the
votes
