trick under the protecting cloud of which members were permitted to dodge.
 As the democratic party is the domi- nant party, the defeat of their legisla- ton is charged against the democrats. The suffragettes openly declare that the sins of the democrats will be visited on their heads in 1916 as a result of the opposing votes of 100000 women. And, as stated, the prohibitionists, while not so open in expressing their purpose, are be- Eeved to have determined to force the democratic party, through the effort of Mr. Bryan or some other dry advo- cate.'' to write prohibition in the plat form in 1916 or 1920, and send the party, thus burdened, into the slough of de- feat

creation of the Tenth district is an ex- cuse and not a reason. It is an excuse intended to confuse and mislead.

TAKING CODY,s ADVICE

Washington April 1.-(Special.) )-The government is preparing to accept the advice of Col. W. F. Cody, Buffalo Bill, in regard to the pursuit of Rancho Villa.
 As readers of The Age-Herald will re- call Colonel Cody declared that to take Villa the United States must trail, or resort to the old tactics so successfully employed on the western plain when the Indian was on the warpath.
 It is now announced that a dozen In- dian chiefs from Arizona will be enlisted as guides and scouts for the American column in Mexico. The Indians to be engaged fought with Geronimo and fol- lowed his lead across the border in 1886.
 As hunted men, these Indians learned every trail in Mexico, and Gen. Hugh Scott, chief of staff, believes that they will render valuable service in disclosing the lair of Villa.

and caused them, according to local be- lief, to determine to force the two great parties to stand for nationwide prohibit tion, was the action of the judiciary committee, through a palpable trick, in rostponing indefinitely the Webb or Hob son amendment
 1t is claimed by the prohibitionists and the suffragettes that there was major ity in favor of both amendments, and that their defeat is attributable to the fact that Representative Carlin of Vir- sinia secured the adoption of a resolu- ten that the two amendments be sub mitted to the committee linked to- gether,' As a result, Mir Webb, author of the prohibition amendment, felt him. self compelled to vote against his own proposition.
 The prohibitionists and suffra gettes con- tend that the linking. of the amendments should not have caused the alienation of single supporter of either. For, it is pointed out, a vote in committee to re- port the amendments would not have committed a member to support them on the floor of the House. And on the floor of the House the two amendments, it is again pointed out, could not have been considered in twain.

 When the Tenth district was created no one thought of Captain Hobson wanting to go back to Congress. He had played one season in the major league (the race for the Senate). and no one thought ne would want to return to the bush league. , If anyone opposed to Captain Hopson has thought he intended running again for Congress, certainly all the Hobson counties in the state would not have been punched in one district, and all the anti Hobson counties in the old Sixth cut off. The following counties were left in the Sixth district and voted in the Underw ood- Hobson race as shown:

Presents Telegram From Alto V. Lee Regarding the Bill for Creating New Tenth District
By LEON c. BRADLEY

Jasper, April Special )-Before a crowd that packed the Walker county courthouse to overflowing, William B. Bankhead made an address to the voters of the county here today in the interest of his candidacy for Congress.
 He declared that it had been his in tention not to engage in campaign of vituperation and personalities but his opponent had already made an ar raignment of him and all the members of his family.
 MT. Bankhead stated that so far as the redistricting bill was concerned, about which Hobson has made so much ado he had not had anything to do with the measure until after it had passed the senate. In substantiation of his position on this proposition, he presented telegram from Senator Alto V. Lee of Etowah county, who was re- sponsible for the bill.
 Regarding the charges of Hobson that he had been responsible for the activities against the measure to keep the convicts in the mines of the state. MT. Bankhead denounced the statement of the cantain as false

NO WORD OF OPPOSITION

He declared that he had not spoken nor written word in opposition to the proposition and all that he had said had been favorable to taking the convicts out of the mines.
 The fact that John H. Bankhead, Jr., his brother, as the recognized and paid counsel of the Pratt Consolidated com pany had appeared before the legisla- ture and spoken in behalf of keeping the convicts in the mines had nothing to do with himself, said MT. Bank head.
 .'The legislature simply carried out it's constitutional mandate in the matter of redistricting, said MT Bankhead. "It was necessary to create district III Whlch no congressman resided
 T wanted our section to secure the ad- ditional power and representation, whether I was elected or not, he said. II am always in favor of securing for my home and my section all the advantages i that can be secured in an honorable way i Every other loyal and patriotic c1tizen i feels the same way. l thought 1t was bet ter for our section to have the aditional congressman, rather than place the new district in the black belt, based largely on colored population. The people of the new Tenth district have more in common With each other than the white counties and the black belt counties of the old Sixth had.
 "The real power behind the creation of the Tenth district was the insistent de- mand Of the democrats of the Seventh district for relief. At every election they had a desperate struggle to elect their congressman. Every two years the cry went out over the state for help and delnocratic speakers were sent from diff ferent parts of the state to help the nomi- nee in the Seventh. The bill that passed was prepared and introduced by the sen ator from Congressman Burnett's home town It was zealously supported by the senators and representatives from the Seventh district.

q feel that I rendered a good service to my section of the state, and to the democratic party. I felt that instead or being criticized for it, my services would he appreciated by the people who secured the new district and by those in terested in having 10 safely democratic districts. The chief opposition to the re- distrcting bill came from pr. Abercrom- bic and his friends. They did not want t.e state iedssricted because pr. Aber- crombie and MT. Oliver would necessarily De thrown in the same district.
 'I heard of no opposition from Captain Hobson CT his frierds. Redistricting bills were lcndn; and discussed in the news papers from about the time the legisla- ture met until the last day of the session. Surely Captain Hobson cannot say that he was so ignorant of current events in Alabama that he heard nothing about it. If Captain HobSon never saw an Ala bama new spaper for six months, surely he cannot say that he did not have a sin gle friend in either house of the Ala 5ama legislature who felt enough inter- est in him to inform him that his dis trct was being slaughtered, as he now complains.
 Both houses of the legislature were compe sed of an overwhelming majority of i,rohihitionists
 "If Captain Hobson or his friends claim that I had so much influence with such a body of men, ard he was so slightly cor'sidered,' how can they at the same time claim that his influence in Washing ton would be so much greater than mine? Why does Captain Hobson call it my districts?
 ABANDONED HIS SEAT He had abandoned his seat in Con-
 gross from the Sixth and MT. Oliver had been elected to succeed him. Captain Hobson has only been in the Sixth district one day in two years, and that was to make speech, while pass ing through the state. His family had not, as I am informed, been in the Sixth district in six or eight years, and some of his children have never seen either the
 Sixth or Tenth district.
 Does Captain Hobson or his friends claim that my district the Sixth, was slaughtered to prevent the captain from again running for Congress?
 Twill Captain Hobson say that if the l Tenth district had not been created 1 he would have been candidate for Con- | gress in the old Sixth against MT. Oliver 1 Unless he will say that he woul have been a candidate against MT. Oliver in | the old Sixth then what justice or fair
