PLEDGED TO JOHNSON

Kalamazoo, Mich, May 5.-Michigan's thirty delegates to the republican na- tional convention were pledged by the state convention today to use every eff fort at their command to obtain the nomination of Senator Hiram Johnson for President, and to stand by him as long as he has chance for the nomination.
 A heated contest developed in the meet ing of the resolutions committee when Johnson supporters sought to effect q stronger indorsement with an iron-clad pledge for their candidate and were op- posed by packers of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, who carried eight of the congress sional districts in the primary, although Johnson won statewide plurality. Four delegates-at-large, two of whom sup ported Wood in the primary race, were chosen by the convention.
 The delegation consists of Charles w.. Burton, Detroit; Claude H. Hamilton, Grand Rapids; Robert K. Shields, Houghton, and Mrs. Grace Greenwood Brown, Ann Arbor
 Burton and Mrs Brown are Johnson supporters, while Shields and Hamilton were said to favor Wood.
 Resolutions adopted indorsed a national budget system, deep waterway from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic and estab-

 It is in full as follows:
 Bailey Springs, Sept. 13, 1908.
 Dear Emmet-When you started in the campaign for Lieutenant Cover nor I did not think the game was worth the candle, for man of your parts. l would have preferred to have you enter the race for Governor. If you had done so, you would have been elected, but it would have cost you heavily in time and money. It Is bet ter, just as 1t has turned out You have made a splendid impression on the people of the State, Ito which your able addresses have justly entitled you, and have now political status that will make you the successor of your father. or a prominent man in the national councils. Richardson WoIheu lOT you without CedSlnR.
 Take up the rate bill and study it impartially as a lawyer. That will be under examination by every industry and by all the politicians of the coun- try. It will be in the courts every where. It will be a government owner ship law and rests on no other foun- 1oti in in of its privileges and provisions will be very useful to you and the country I wish to see it when your study is com plete.
 T think you are playing in great luck and will not deplore the dis agreeable fact that you failed in the first game of the rubber You are all right, Sincerely your friend,
 JOHN T. MORGAN"

HEFLIN SPEAKS ID
 CROWD AT ENSLEY Senatorial Candidate Out lines Platform and An
 swers Opponent

Congressman J. Thomas Hefln de- livered his second address in interest of his candidacy in Jefferson county for the United States Senate to succeed the late Senator Bankhead, and met with an en- thusiastic approval on the part of the 400 persons assembled in the Elks' hall at Ensley, where the address was de- livered
 In his speech last night MT. Heflin out lined his platform, and recounted the numerous undertakings which he has sponsored while representing the Fifth district in the House. n Readjustment of cotton trading conditions. enabling the farmer to secure a just return for his produce, the selection of the site for the Muscle Shoals plant, and the organiza- tion of the federal loan banking system, were given as evidence of his efforts in the states interest.
 MT. Heflin answered all his opponents
 in the present race, apparently to the fullest satisfaction of those present. He referred to the debates of White and O'Neal as "a free Punch and Judy show"
 Near the conclusion of the meeting MT, Heflin requested those who favored his election to stand. Less than twenty-five failed to do so. He repeated the ques- tion asking those opposing him to stand. but no one arose.
 Mr Heflin will be in Birmingham Sat uIday night where he will deliver his closing address at o'clock at Capitol park. He will leave this morning for visits to Talladega, Anniston, Gadsden and Huntsville.

HOOPER DECLARES UNDERWOOD FORCES STRONGLY UNITED
Recent Tactics of OppOsi- ton Have Had No Effect in Reducing His
 Majority
Fly FRED II. GoRMLEY

Mont tgomery, May 5.-(SpeciaL Having communicated with friends of Senator Underwood in all sections of Alabama, following the granting of the temporary injunction to the labor leaders support ing l.. B. Musgrove, Lloyd M Hooper, state campaign manager for Senator Os- car w. Underwood, tonight declared that the Underwood forces are united in every section of the state and that while the Musgrove campaign committee had been forced to import men into some coun- ties in order to make any showing at all the local citizens were looking after the interests of the incumbent.
 oThe latest moves of the opposition have been non-effective. said Chair man Hooper "They cannot take from Senator Underwood the great maJor ~, which an appreciative citizenry had de- l. termined to give him in the primary They cannot prevent the friends of the senator from telling the people of his record and of showing why he should be continued in the Senate. And the con- stant talk on the part of citizens of the state who have no further personal in- terest in the success of d candidate than the doing of a service to the state has brought to Senator Underwood won- derful victory.
 we know the people will not elect a person who resorts to the methods which have been used during the past few days to stampede the voters into doing thing their reason told them they could not afford to do. We look forward to the coming of May Il, know ing full well that Alabama will sustain its record and that the voters will not permit the telegr&phic flash to go out oN CT the nation Tuesday night that union labor leaders in Washington had suc- ceeded in their first skirmish of war to retire from public life every man who does not answer their every bidding"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-06

Senator John T. Morgan, the great statesman, in September, 1908, wrote Hon. Emmet ONeal an intimate, friendly letter, in which he then pre- dicted that Mir ONeal would one day ''be the successor of his father" as Governor of Alabama. The letter from the Dallas County statesman breathes not only the highest personal esteem and closest personal relations between the two men, but manifest admiration for the ability and charac- ter of MT. O'Neal
 He addresses MT. ONeal as a lawyer in whose ability he has the highest confidence. He frankly refuses to de- p1ore MT O'Nears defeat for Lieuten- ton was not commensurate with Mir O'Nears claims and ability.
 the strongest and most foreeful in dorsements that Senator Morgan ever gave a man. It is a full answer to some sneers and innuendoes as to MT O'Nears standing as a man and a law yer. It is significant that Senator Nor gan, the special pride of Dallas Coun- ty, should answer some sneers which have been given currency by a few of MT O'Neals opponents in that county.

To Make New Effort
 to Repeal Dry Law
By Associated Press

Washington, May 5.-Another effort probably will be made in the House to- morrow to repeal the Volstead prohibition law.
 Anticipating this move, the House rules committee today agreed upon a change in the rules which would prevent such at tempts through amendm entsfo appropria- tion bills. There was some doubt as to whether the House would agree to the change before the repeal proposition was presented, but in any event prohibition leaders said the effort would fail, just as 1t did on two occasions recently
