NORMAN GUNN SAYS SOUTHWEST PART OF
 THE STATE IS SAFE
Man Who Helped Write Conner Prohibition Laws Says Underwood Will
 Win 3 to 1 There

Norman Gum, who was in the sen ate during the administration of ex- Gov. B. B. Conner, and who was one o the leaders in the movement which re suited in the writing of manifold pro hibition laws on the statutes book, pre-. diets that the great southwestern sec ton, the black belt and piney wood. section, will give MT. Underwood a ma 5ority of 8 to l.
 "Of course, I am a prohibition ist," said Mir. Gum. "I aided in se- curing the passage of all the pro- hibition legislation. I will support any movement at the present time in which temperance is involved Nevertheless, I am strong in my support of Oscar w. Underwood for the Senate of the United States
 Tt has been said by followers of Captain Hobson that the fate of prohibition was at stake in the present senatorial contest. That is absurd. That argument is spacious It is the duty of every citizen in Alabama to vote for the man who can better serve the people, can iHOit suCCSSSiully dNhicNo loi tHc people, and can reflect more credit and glory on this section of our great county.
 There is no question but that MT. Underwood is the man for whom everybody shouldt vote, everybody irrespective of political factions and factionists He Is q great man and a good silaB. and the man in whom is centered our hope of. ever having an Alabamian in the chair of the President.
 .I have managed to keep myself we'll posted in regard to political conditions in my old district and contiguous territory From the northern boundary of Marengo south to the gulf, and from the Mississippi line to a line drawn southwart from Montgomery to the Florida boundary, all that terri tory--and it is large and popu- laus--will give MT. Underwood a majority of 3 to 1. Marengo, Clarke. Washington Wilcox, Baldwin, Mos bile, Montgomery, Conecuh, Escam- bia--all that territory, with the eX- ception of Choctaw, will go over whelmingly for the '--ouse leader. Choctaw will probably give Cap tain Hobson 0 majority of 100 votes
 q do not believe that there is a shadow of doubt but that MT. Un- derwood will win the nomination by large majority This is as it should be-"

RATE DECISION HAS MUDD|ED POLITICS
 DURING PAST WEEK Candidates Have Been Busy Adjusting Themselves to
 New Aspect of Affairs ISSUE BEING FELT
 ALL ALONG THE LINE Gossip of the Various Races and
 Prospects Among Winners-The Ninth District Contest Is Still Quiet
BY HIGH ". ROBERTS

Politics in Alabama has been more ol less disturbed during the past week bS the settlement of the railroad rate War
 The effect of that settlement has beer a point of debate between partisans o Mr. Conner and MT. Henderson, guberna torial candidates. The former contend of course, that MT. Henderson has de- stroyed himself; the latter, that by tht settlement of the war, MT. Conner has been deprived of the sole plank of his platform.
 Mir. Conner has characterized that set tlement as a crime. MT. Henderson has boasted of having put an end to a strug gle which distressed the state for many years, which subjected the state to fabd lous cost in the way of propelling litiga' tion, which prevented the investment oi foreign capital, and estopped the develop ment of common carriers throughout tn, breadth of the southland.

Associate Members Disagree

The dispute, however, has had it's most potent effect on the campaign for the two seats on the commission, The as- sociate members. Frank N. Julian and Leon McCord are candidates for re-elec- tion. MT. Julian has been repeatedly quoted as having said that he signed the agreement because he had been informed by the attorney general that the special counsel of the state had approved the agreement This attitude of MT. Julian has been construed at least partial repudiation of the agreement which he signed, MT. McCord, on the other hand, has expressed himself as being well pleased with his part in settling the agreement He has charged that certain lawyers are angry as result of the set tlement because the settlement has estopped the fat fees which for seven years have been poured into their private purses
 As result of the disa greement between the associate members of the comms- sion, it is patent that both of them can not be reelected. If the majority of the people of the state are dissatisfied with the settlement, Mir. McCord is in danger. And MT. Julian is in danger unless that majority condones what has been termed as his apology for the part that he played in the settlement

According to statistics prepared by the Bureau of Vital Statistics in the State Health Department, there were in the state 10,S49 births and 6,029 deaths during months of April, May, June and July. These figures how ever, are not complete as no reports were received from about 250 of the 1878 registration districts of the state. Very few counties are complete. In Chicot county, for instance, only two out of twelve districts reported. The Bureau has been making a determined effort to secure these reports, but has not yet been able to arouse sufficient insterest among the registrars to make them prompt in their reports,

THE NEW ERA.
Chicago Evening Post

Chicago Evening Post
 President Wilson is undoubtedly too harassed by the great problems which the war has thrust upon him to devote much thought to the improvement in his political position that has come simultaneously. He has always shown, in any case, a curious indifference to the prospects for his own reelection.
 But his position has become for the moment almost impregnable. Fate has put him back again into that "era of good feeling" which marked his first year of office and seemed so certain of terminating with it's close. The New York Republican platform, for in stance, did not even mention the Mex ican issue, which would certainly be before the country with new force if we had time to watch the difficulties of Carranza.

RECEIVER FOR THE
 VITAL ORGANS OF
 DEAD MAN ASKED
Case Unequaled in Supreme Court Annals Up Before That Tribunal From Maryland
 Court

Washington, June 2O.-A case unequalled in supreme court annals came up today when an appeal reached that tribunal from a Maryland court order directing ap- pointment of receiver for the vital
 organs of dead man.
 The case grows out of the fight over the $1,0000O0 insurance carried by Edward o. Painter. capitalist of Jacksonville, Fla, when he fell overheard from a erryboat at Jacksonville April 2l, 1913. and was drowned.
 Painter became violently i'll on the boat, and when he went to the rail fell into the water. Upon recovery of his body his vital organs were sent by family physi- clans to Baltimore for examination. pr. Charles Glasor. in whose care they were placed was enjoined by the United States Fidelity and Guaranty company from daughter for burial before this company, which had issued an accident policy to Painter, had an opportunity to examine them. At the instance of the insurance company a receiver then was appointed to take charge of the organs and to make a chemical examination on the ground that the insurance policy provision giving the company a right of examination was su- perior to any property right the widow or daughter might have. 1t Is for review Of this decision that the case today was brought to the supreme court

 Officials here would give no formal . legislation of the basis of their hopes, but indicated that joint mediation de- Alterations would be resumed Monday In this view they were upheld by ac- tual developments, MT.
