HELM IS SEEKING
SUGGESTION AS TO
SENATE CANDIDACY
Fifth District Congressman
Writes Circular Letter to
VOters-Wants Frank
Answer
BIZ HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, March Especial KEEP
resentatiye Heflin of the Fifth Ala
hama district, in an effort to reach con-
clusion as to whether he should offer
for the Senate this year, or postpone the
testing Of his strength, has written
circular letter to the voters Of Ala
bama.
After reciting his attitude towards the
democratic administration, and pointing
out differences which he declares exist
in his record and that of Senator Bank
head, Mr.. Heflin urges his correspond
ents to advise him quickly and frankly.
Several copies of the circular letter
have drifted into the office of Senator
Bankhead. Inasmueh as it is dated
March Q, the idea obtains that the rep
resentative is still contemplating the pos
sibility of an entrance into the arena.
He declares that great pressure is being
brought to bear to the end that he go
into the race for the Senate, where his
power would be relatively increased.
Mr.. Heflin expresses conviction that
President Wilson, termed the foremost
statesman of the day, was raised up by
God to lead the world in the current
emergency 1t is regarded as potable
that in view of the attitude of the rep
representative ambitious gentleman of the
Fifth will begin specializing on seat
in the House.

the light in the tower which will guide
him safely through the treacherous wa
tiers.
Heflin has been awaiting the day when
he could begin his journey and now he
is almost convinced that this day has
come Until this week there was doubt
tAat he was giving serious consideration
to the senatorial contest. but this doubt
has been cast away by his recent activ-
tiles. Last week his address in opposi-
ton to the SUBMISSION of the prohibition
amendment was sent broadcast through
the state. Now he is mailing out a
personal letter to several thousand per-
sons asking them what they think of
him as a candidate in opposition to Sem
ter will determine his future and will
either keep him in the House as con-
gresham of the Fifth district or put
him in the contest for the higher posi-
tion.s
Congressman Helm is using various
arguments in support of himself and in
connecting himself with the senatorship.
IN the first place he voted against the
submission. of the amendment. Senator
Bankhead voted for it. In the second
place, he points out that he has been
active for years in favor of better prices
lfor cotton. Cotton prices now range
above 81 cents a pound In the thlro
place. he has stood behind President
Wilson in all of his plans for the prose
cution of the war. He contends that
Senator Bankhead has wavered In many
instances and that in some ~he has gone
in direct conflict with the desires OF the
President.
There are other reasons which Con-
gresham Heflin has given to those Whe
have received the letters, but these are
sufficient to show that he is preparing u
swim the political Hellespont.

HOW TO GET RELIEF
FROM CATARRH

If you. have catarrh, catarrhal /.
deafness, or head noises go to
your druggist and get OF. of Par
mint double strength), take this
home, add to it hot water and
lust a little sugar as directed in
each package. Take tablespoon

This will often bring quick re-
lief from the distressing head

open, breathing become easy and
the mucus stop dropping into the
throat.
IT is easy to make, tastes pleas
ant and costs little. Every one
who has catarrh should give this
treatment a trial. You will prob
ably find 1t is just what you need.
