HOBsON APPEARS ON SCENE

And then there appeared on the political
horizon, Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson
of Tuxedo Park, N. Y. Hastily notifying
the mayor of Jasper that he was re-
moving to the Walker county town. the
captain rushed back to Alabama lust in
time to qualify for the race For several
months the state was given one of the
bitterest and hardest fought congress
SIGNAL races in it's history. The face of
the returns last May gave Bankhead a
majority OF less than 100 and Hobson an
nounced that he would file a contest.
However, he left the state, and up to
the present time, has not returned.
No contest was filed.
No sooner had the time passed for
Hobson to file his contest than the re-
publicans nominated an opponent to the
democratic candidate. and another warm
fight was begun. With the republicans
and anti-democrats in the majority in
several of the seven counties of the dis
trict, and some of the democrats more or
less bitter because of the defeat of Hob
son, Mr.. Bankhead was kept busy until
November to make sure that re-
publican did not gain seat in Congress
from Alabama.
II am now in possession of my certifi-
cate of election and am preparing to
enjoy respite from the strenuous ac-
tivities of campaigning from now until
l go to Washington" said Mr.. Bankhead.
While 1t is quite relief to be freed
from the strain of conducting a race
running for office has many compensa-
tons. 1t is fine thing for man to go
all over his district and go around oc-
casionally and renew old acquaintance
and make new ones 1t keeps him in
touch with what the people are doing
what they are thinking and what their
ideas are on all questions"
