and pulled the hole after him; the bat is
flying all alone in this race.
MIR. Underwood has, as the pawn of
his criminal managers, brought the negro
question into the race. / might say that
In Mr.. Underwoods office he has two
negro messengers and his constituents
must meet these negroes and argue with
them when Mr.. Underwood Is busy to
see their congressman.
III regard to Mr.. Underwood's charges
III iSlciChCc " the sO-cdlleu UNIFORM
BILL" Mr.. Hobson quoted the bill anC
made the following statement:
They can make the discriminat tion
because of color just as before. The
negro appearing in uniform Is IN the
same class as the. negro appearing out
of uniform, and they can turn negro
in uniform out and they can throw him
out because of his color, but not be-
cause of his uniform"
In discussing the campaign book OF
Mr.. Underwood, he stated:
'It Is the product of criminals. 1t is
useless to look up any of its particular
charges, but we will take this one at
random where I am accused of aiding
in the defeat of Judge Shepherd as pro-
bate judge of Walker county.
Judge Shepherd Comes on Stage
Now, outside of Breck Mussrove, l
have no greater or truer friend IN
Walker county than Judge Shepherd and
whoever knows Judge Shepherd knows
that he would not accuse me OF aioing
In his defeat. There are some of YOU
who know Judge Shepherd. Is there
anyone in this house who Is friend of
Judge Shepherd?" s
There had been several responses when
Mr.. Hobson saw Judge Shepherd sitting
In the audience. He was invited to the
stage and declared that "the men whD
NA~Su III my ueicdt as PROBATE JuOHe OF
Waiker county were anti-Hobson men,
captain Hobson again criticised the
Underwood campaign book and III clos
ing said:
1t is battle against the great
destroyer, battle against the millions
and the hirelings of the liquor interests;
they are fighting you and 1 expect you
10 nght back and to wage a grand fight.
l make my appeal to all: there are many
men who drink moderately and yet who
90 not parade that fact before schooI-
mousse iiiied with children; to these /
call for support and aid in this battIe
against the great destroyer and for a
better education of the youth Of AIa-
bama.'
Captain Hobson leaves this morning to
continue his campaign.
Mr.. Hobson was frequently cheered
by his hearers during the course of his
speech and at its close there was pro-
longed applause.
