 The Bankhead organizations yestertlay made claim on every county in Alabama( including Jefferson, by a large majority.
 w. R. Hilliard, county manager for Senator Bankhead, said q am certain that Senator Bankhead will carry Jeff ferson county by an overwhelming ma jority-a majority ranging from 400o to 5000. We have organized all the beats of the county, and from information of the most trustworthy character are led to believe that in some of the precincts the senator will not lose a vote"
 Jefferson county is the home county of Capt. Frank s. White Senator Bank heads opponent.
 The Bankhead management, on prac- tieally the eve of the election, claims every county. It is admitted that in not more than four Captain White has cer- tain material strength. These four. however those fighting for Bankhead intend to carry.

1 office the Birmingham men went lnlo the patriotic warmth which is always to be found radiating from those earnest | ly engaged in fighting Germany, in sup porting the boys who are dying that democracy the world over might be pre- served They went to fill an engage ment with Secretary Baker, which Mir. Huddleston declared could not be ar ranged. They yere cordially received not only as friends of Senator Bankhead vilian organization, formed to support the American first line in the event It is ever turned.
 SECRETARY IS PLEASED Unlike MT. Huddleston, the secretary expressed himself as exceedingly happy that civilians had got into the service of their country, had prepared them selves in patriotic manner against any emergency.
 He gazed upon photograph or the civilian class, and declared that When ever he beheld such bodies Of men ne wanted them all. He recognized not only the physical progess of the individuals, but their spirit and their patriotism. And, further, he declared determination to make use of individuals if not the or ganization itself and expressed himself in sympathy with the plan to give such organizations a permanent status The secretary was so uellSuleu the enterprise of Birmingham civilians that he did not stop when he had received their representatives in most cordial man. ner. He went to the extent of escort ing the young son of Judge Walker through the winding channels of the mili- tary system until the youngster stood in the presence of and received an in- troduction to General March, the great chief of the American staff.
 
 NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS Mir Evans and Judge Walker reiterated their statements that their visit and their organization had nothing to do With poll tics, and expressed the hope that their interviews would not be so construed They talked for publication chiefly in the belief that inaccuracies might be avoided in the publication of less d. rect communication
 Huddleston's connection With the sV1sit became known as a result Of wioe ols- cussion yesterday of a report made by MT Evans on returning to his class. MT. Evans went into details in that ms re- port might not be garbled.
 The case is an interesting one It would indicate that MT. Huddleston is free to confess that he cannot do those things which other members of Congress per from with the greatest east; that ne IS out of sympathy with the aeternhatlon of all Americans, whether in or out or the draft age, to prepare for the Win ming of the war, and out Of harmony III this respect with Secretary Baker and the government; that in hfs stated oppo- sition to the plan of the administration to lower and increase the draft age, he will continue to fight the administration, and to place this district in an unfavor- able and false light before an aroused country.

Have You Ever Noticed That the Loafer Is Always Big Double -Fisted Double-Jointed FuL-Sized
 Able-Boded Person. Whether Male or Female?

mated " (You notice quote the ex- rressions are not mine.) | I can stand any sort of a botch on the face of the round, green globe-botch Of a picture-a botch of a dress a botch of a dinner-even botch of 8. womaIl-but a boteh of man just nauz seates mel
 "Rotchn and "loafer, mean. exactly the same thing to my mind; for .botch" means something messy" and unimpor- tant; something that started out to be something and wasn't; and 'loafer' means precisely the same thing; it means inertia, noncombatant, idle. no ambition -nothing in life worth while, and all that.
 The dictionary definition given Is: Loafer, an idle man; a lounger; spe- officially, vagrant who subsists by shifts"
 That seems to settle, who and what he isl
 Loafer! I wonder if the word has as great a repugnance for you as it does to me!
 Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't; it all depeHds upon the way you folks look at life.
 Life to me means action, service: doing something for somebody else; life's su- preme joy to me is in work; for work is the well spring of happiness; heaven to my mind isn't made up of golden streets, but service. Carlyle summed~ up the whole thing when he wrote: Not what have, but what I do, is my kingdom"
 The loafer is always a big double-fisted, double-j jointed, full-sized, able-bodied per- son, whether male or female, I repeat, and yet in spite of this physical perfec- tion, always invariably a spectacle of unhappiness.
 Why? Because he's a loafer.
 Thank heaven this great world war will weed them odt-these loafer people, both masculine and feminine, both physical and mental loafers-and the time is com ing when I hope we won't see one on the face of the earth, any more than we see horsehair furniture in parlors, and crinolines and hoop skirts worn by ladiesl

HUDDLESTON HAS NO SYMPATHY WITH THE
 CIVILIAN PLAN FOR
 MILITARY TRAINING
tcontinued from Page Five)

Mir. Huddleston that Senator Bank head had just previously performed the Impossible" in this regard.
 MT. Evans. when asked by The Ags- Herald representative regarding other Huddlestonian representations, con tinued: MT. Huddleston did express himself as being out of sympathy with the idea of civilians engaging in mili- tary practice, and in opposition to the idea of giving civilian organizations 8 permanent status, making available for them arms and other equipment"
 JUDGE WALKERS IMPRESSION
 Irdee Walker when asSed apoGt the interview, stated that as result he had got the impression that Huddleston had sought to throw .'cold water on the enterprise II, ~nlch the civilians of Birmingham had engaged, MT Evans stated the additional fact that MT. Hud- dieston had declared opposition to the new policy of the government to lower and raise the age of men who will here after be subject to the draft. The en- tire interview would indicate, first. that MT. Huddleston still stands in opposition to plans of American people more fully to prepare themselves. to crush the Ger. man masses and, secondly, that hereafter, lin opposing the new draft legislation, he will be as much out of joint with Presi- dent Wilson as he has always been.

7 IKE my friend. MT. Henry James

| 7 IKE my friend, MT. Henry James II the cryptic MT. James-I must have
 detestation for something, and one of my pet detestations besides infant prodigies, cockroaches, mechanical pianos, scandelmongers and canned tripe, is a loafer male or female.
 1 Thank heaven for the law that now makes 'em either fight or work!' thank heaven for the law that has busted them from their favorite places of residence on the street corners in the parks and around the public buildings; thank heaven for the law that has put a ban upon loafers and may it last as long as time lasts and not merely during the war.
 And by loafers, believe me, I don't mean merely male loafers; the woods are full of female loafers just as the streets are full of male loafers.
 The one thing that I can't abide in any body is loafing; take perfectly healthy, normal, intelligent woman, for instance (and you never saw a loafer in all your life, either male or female, who wasn't a big double-fisted, double -jointed, full sized, able-bodied person. who sits back for somebody to do things for her, fold ing her hands and rocking to and fro in perfect ease, while mother does the work" couldn't you just kill her? Can you see how she can be loafer when she looks at the tired hands, the fur rowed brow, the wrinkled face and the whitened hair and-rocks, rocks-and eats chocolate creams and dresses up in the afternoon and goes out and promenades the streets?
 Can you see how such an one can con- tinue to loaf when she has girl friehds who are banging away at the typewriter, standing behind big ledger Keeping books" or serving customers behind
