 COTTON SITUATION
from Page one)

krn democrats in coalition with repub- licans of the Senate, desperately fought to indefinitely postpone consideration of the measure because cotton relief legislation had been decsively defeat ed.
 Democratic leaders, by supreme et- fort in the climax of the cotton fight, gathered their faltering forces and. -purring them on with eloquent ap- peals for party solidarity, defeated, g 10 25, the coalition in it's move to fn- definitely postpone action. Senators Clarke of Arkansas. Smith of Georgia, Smith of South Carolina, Vardaman and White were the democratic members who fought to the end, voting with the republicans to postpone action. This would have killed the bill for the pres ent session of Congress.
 Despite urgent pleas of Senators Williams, Stone, Shively and James. who demanded united democratic sup port for democratic measure fostered by the admission of these five senators under a storm of oratorical denuncia- tion. persisted to the last in their de- termination that the bill should con tain some cotton relief provision.
 The enlivening contest that marked the passage of the bill foreshadowed the end of the long drawn out ses- sicn of Congress, which has kept flags

SOME EARLY GLIMPSES
 AT NEXT LEGISLATURE
Mir. Mccain Commits Him. self on Few Subjects, But Equal Suffrage Is One of Them
ny HUGH ". ROBERTS

The thirty-fourth senatorial district composed of the counties of Clay, Coosa and Cleburne, will be represented in tht next regular session of the legislature by John Richmond Mccain
 Mir. Mccain is more or less an old hand in the business of law-making, for he served in the legislature during the terms oe Governors Johnston, Sanford and Jelks. His experience his friends contend will prove to be valuable asset. It is true that it sometimes happens that new member becomes SO enamoured of the attractions of Montgomery that two or three weeks-prefera the latter-are necessary for his thorough acclimation. In this respect Mir Mccain has served his novitiate and will be ready to go to work on the first morning of the session.
 The future statesman of Lineville, for 1t is in that city of Clay county that Mir. Mccain lives, where as matter Of family record he was born, does not hesitate to commit himself on several more or less serious propositions. For instance when asked by The Age-Herald if he favored the idea of women appear ing at the polls authorized by law to cast ballot he responded promptly T do not On the question of statewide pro- hibtion, however, he was silent. He was silent. also, in regard to the proposed abolition of the convict lease system The suggestion that a fraction of the earnings of convict be returned to the dependent family of the convict, appealed, he ad- mitted, with certain force to his mind and conscience.
 T believe in retrenchment," he con- tinued. Doubtless we have too many of hces. But we can tell better which of fees should be abolished when all the facts are put before us. In regard to the most important business to confront the legislature, I can tell better when I am on the scene. We need some school leg islation, legislation for the old Confederate soldiers, for good roads and many other subjects. I have not as yet prepared any bills"
 However, MT. Mccain is opposed to woman suffrage, and that fact gives an index into his capability as legislator which ca nargue in no other way than in his favor. There will be great satisfac- tion throughout Alabama in that it has beer made known that Mir. Mccain fayors

ROSE P|TONOF IN
BIGGEST WATER
RACE IN HISTORY
Arranges Amazing Match With
Harry EIionsky To Be Held
Of Boston in June.

II OSTON, Jan. 31.-Rose Pitonof,
n Boston's champion girl swim
mer of the world, will meet
Harry Elionsky, of New London, in
what is likely to be the greatest en-
durance swim on record in June next
in Boston Harbor.
Miss Pitonofs father, Eli Pitonof,
has deposited with the sporting edi
tor OF Hearst's Boston American a
check for $50, covering a similar for
felt made on behalf of Elionsky, who
had previously accepted Miss Pito-
uof's challenge to the world for such
a race
Under the terms made by Pitonof,
each of the contestants must deposit
$3.50 more at least ten days before
the date of the race. The contest will
therefore be a $500 match affair-a
$1,000 match. The date of the race
will be fixed before June l.
The terms call for battle to fin
ish-such a swimming contest as was
never held before in the world.
The contestants must swim back
bridge and Boston Light until one or
the other is forced to quit
WHEN one gives up the other-if he
" or she goes as far as the one who
surrenders has gone-will become the
champion and will win the money.
To swim from Charlestown bridge
to Boston Light once is an amazing
water stunt. Few have done it. To
go to the Light, turn a buoy and re-
turn has been considered a we'll nigh
impossible feat. To continue further
over the same course seems super
human. If it can be done, it seems
likely that Miss Rose Pitonof and
Harry Elionsky are among the few
who can do It.
1t will be a test of sheer endurance.
The last one out of the water Is to
win, under the conditions described
above.
THESE are the arrangements made
by Miss Pitonof's father, and are
OF course, subject TO acceptance in
detail by Elionsky. Originally, Pit
onof, whose daughter is considered
the champion woman swimmer of the
world. issued a challenge ard offered

championship and offered to bet from
