In the Ninth Representative Huddleston is charged with having voted for war and having refused to raise an army to de- fend that war; with having attempted to divide capital and labor in time of war with having charged that by con scription American boys would lose their liberty, irrespective of the wars result; and with having opposed the Liberty Loan bond issues in opposition to the ad- ministrations requests and advice.
 In the Eighth Representative Almon is charged with having voted against WAT and with having been converted to con scription only by the bomhardment of citizens who expressed themselves in numerous telegrams. In the Seventh Rep resentative Burnett is charged with hav- ing voted against the declaration of war and also against the selective draft act.

ISSUE STILL IN DOuBT

Just what the Musgrove following will declare to be the issue in the fight against the incumbent has not been de- Feloped. MT. Bankhead's war record. made in the halls of Congress, is re- garded as good. He has stood by the prohibition faction in all it's battles, even when those battles were planned to gain a minor point at the probable embarass- ment of the President
 MT. Musgrove has made all his fights against opponents of prohibition and with prohibition, in one of it's various forms. the issue. Captain Hobson's speeches have dealt entirely with prohibition and the evils of strong drink. Inasmuch as to everything Musgrove and Hobson can say, Bankhead can reply, Aye, aye, sir the indications are that the organ ization will be forced to find something other than the liquor question with which to conjure.
 In that district two Bankheads will have their names on the official ballot This fact will give Musgrove an oppor- tunity to revive the campaign argument that one family should not be possessed of two offices. That issue, however. would serve no greater advantage, fl is probable, than two years ago when it failed to restore the congressional seat of Captain Hobson.
