CHARGE OF FRAUD
 BASIS OF CAMPAIGN
Musgrove Says Hobson May Return to Assist Gibson Against Bank
 head in Tenth

Judging from remarks of Col l.. B. Musgrove of Jasper, who was in Bir- l mingham yesterday, Horace P. Gibson will conduct his campaign for Congress from the Tenth district on the ground of his charge that W. B. Bankhead, his opponent, was elected two years ago over R. P. Hobson by fraudulent votes. Mir. Musgrove also stated that in all probability Captain Hobson would return to Alabama and participate as an ora tor in favor of Gibson in the campaign. The race will be made" said Colonel
 Musgroye, "on the ground that Captain Hobson was defrauded out of his victory
 achieved two years ago. Everybody
 knows that he defeated Bankhead by 1000 votes.
 Tt is probable that Captain Hobson
 will return to the district and by his speeches appeal to his old constituency to rally around Gibson. We have asked him
 to return. On account of Gibson's un yielding loyalty to him there is every reason why he should return"
 MT Musgrove indicated belief that the race would be one of interest with "a doubtful issue.

CALLS OVER STATE l FOR UNDERWOOD ID DELIVER SPEECHES Senator Convinced People of Alabama Are Opposed
 to Amendment PLENTY OF TIME TO
 GET AN EXPRESSION Failure to Ratify Now Will Mean Submission of Issue Directly
 to Voters at Later Date
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

From every section of Alabama, the people are calling Senator Underwood, They declare they want to hear him talk-on the war; the proposed amend ment to the federal constitution, condi- tions in the business and political world
 The senator will not be able to com ply with more than a few of the re- guests. He returned to Birmingham yes terday from Selma, where Friday night he delivered an address to packed house. He spoke of the war, of which he has that technical knowledge which is acquired only by continuous study, and against the proposed prohibition amendment. His argument was against the tendency-which he characterized as extremely dangerous, especially to southern people-to centralize govern ment in Washington.
 Yesterday he announced a trip for next week to north Alabama. On the evening of July 31, he will speak either in Decatur or Albany; Thursday he will deliver an address at Lexington, in Lauderdale county. On this occasion the people of that senatorial district will participate in joint barbecue, and the crowd, it is indicated, will be as numerous as 10000 people. Thursday night he will speak at Muscle Shoals, in the creation of which he played a lead ing part August the senator will speak in Huntsville and elsewhere, it is probable, in Madison county. that night.

It has been developed that many men throughout the state inclined to be- lieve in the amendment are willing to postpone ratification in that the real sentiment of the people might be as- certained. They are evidently encour- aged against taking snap Judgment in belief that the people will uphold their position, and in Knowledge that the ad- verse action of the incoming legisla- ture would not be final.
 There are others who have reported to headquarters that they are incensed

Denson, charged with violating the espionage act. which had been on trial in the federal court before Judge W. I. Grubb since Thursday. The verdict was read to the court at 12 o'clock and as 1t was not expected at this time few people were in the courtroom.
 The case was given to the jury for their consideration at 6:35 o'clock Fri day night and as soon as the foreman read the verdict, the deep lines of ten- sion In the face of the defendant loos- ened, his eyes filled with tears and he immediately thanked Judge Gruhb, the court officials and the jury.

 MT. Denson was arrested several months ago by special agents of the department of justice charged with vio- lating the espionage act. He was in- dicted at a special session of the grand jury, and special session of the fed eral court was called to try this case.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-07-28
PEOPLE DO NOT WANT IT

Senator Underwood is convinced that the people of Alabama are opposed to l the amendment because of knowledge 1 that it is not essential to the enforce ment or the retention of prohibition, 1 and because of knowledge that it's rati- ! fication would be a precedent for rati- l ficaton of other amendments capable ] of destroying the institutions of the l south He says the people are aware that in all probability the next legis- 1 lature, called upon to ratify the pro- hibition amendment, will be called upon to ratify also the equal suffrage amend ment.
 Liberalization of the government will invite federal bayonets into the state for the enforcement of suffrage laws, is a possibility regarding which the
 people have made intimate inquiry. There is no question but that northern sentiment is already strongly in favor of voting southern negroes or reduc- ing southern representation in Con- gress.
 The anti-amendment Headquarters is keeping in very close touch with the voters of the state. and it is the opin- ion of Chairman E. D. Smith that the ratification of the amendment will be defeated. Forney Johnston yesterday delivered addresses to large crowds in Guntersville and Albertville in Mar shall county, and there were speeches elsewhere. Next week various counties will be entered by anti-amendment ora tors.
 Those in charge of the campaign find that the people, irrespective of their belief in prohibition. are still regretful and resentful because they were not given the right to vote direct. This fact augurs well, it is regarded for the de- feat of ratification. The defeat of rati- fication, beyond a shadow of doubt would be followed by another campaign in which the people would be given per- mission to register their verdict by di- rect vote

Austrian Emperor Is 81
Years Old This Month

Amstcrdam-Charles ruler of the
tottering Austrian Empire, was thir-
ty-one years old on August II. He is
the eldest son of the Archduke Otto,
who was a younger brother of the
late Francis Ferdinand, whose assas-
sination touched the spark that set
the world afiame. He attended the
public schools of Vienna, being the
first scion of the Hapsburgs to attain
such heights of democracy, and many
of his companions were the sons of
tradesmen and laborers. Later he
went to a classical school conducted
by the Benedictine monks. He is,
incidentally, the first Hapsburg to
attain proficiency in the English
tongue.
After completing his education, the
Archduke. whose succession to the
throne was then not dreamed of. en-
tered the army. and attained the rank
of lieutenant colonel of infantry. En-
peror Charles mother was Maria Jo-
sepha. Princess of SaXony, and she
is still living in Vienna. He has no
sisters and only one brother, Maxi
milan Eugen Ludwig. a youth of
twenty-three, and a student of law
The Empress, whose antipathy to
everything German is now widely
known, was the Princess Zita. of the
Bourbon house of Parma. The i'm
perial couple have two sons, the eld-
est. Francis Joseph Otto, being now
in his sixth year.

The enlistment of these men for

of the highest type, 1t was said at the

families left behind, attesting to the
fact that they were making the
greatest possible sacrifice to enlist
They all enlisted as privates and wer e
sent to Columbus Barracks, Ohio.
Those who did not pass the physical
examinations and therefore were not
accepted for service were the most
downcast recruits who ever attempt
ed to enter the Army through the
local recruiting agency. They ex-
pressed themselves as disappointed
to see the lost chance to aid in the
battle for world freedom fail them,
one man who attempted to enlist
had wooden leg. He bore in his
hand II clipping from a New York
paper 10 the effect that in that state
local draft board had accepted
a man with wooden leg for special
work in the military machine.
