 Mobile, April 15.- (Spe- cial. )-Senator Oscar w. Un- derwood came among his many friends of the gulf coast country today to deliver mes sage containing the gravest warning that has come from the lips of public man of Ala bama in this generation-a warning against the efforts of n. w. W. representatives to tear down the government founded on the equality and freedom of mankind, and a warning in which he used no lnnuendo but paraded before the public the organization and the class which he said is seek ing through general strikes to break down the government.
 This organization he named as
 the I. W. w.. and it was this or-
 ganization which he branded as
 menace to the continued function
 ihE Of the free government of the
 United States. His address was
 delivered before probably the most
 enthusiastic audience he has
 spoken to in his campaign.
 Ahe auditorium of the Loyal Order of Noose was filled and standing room was at premium. Gathered about him were some of South Alabama,s pest ana most prominent citizens and hefore him was an audience which an- peared wholly for Underwood
 Although his friends have been
 convinced thnt he will win n vjc
 tory May II, 1t is not probable
 that ~7y other section of Alabama
 tx more solidiy bnck of him than
 the gulf coast country contiguous
 to Mobile.
