FORT and COMMIT TEE
ARE GRATIFIED OVER
UNDERWOOD VICTORY
Citizens In Every Walk Of Life
There Aid In Endorsing Sem
ator's Candidacy
HEFLIN HERE TOMORROW
Gratifying Reports Coming In
From All Parts OF County,
Committee States

The splendid victory won by Sem
ator Underwood Tuesday over the
combined opposition ip Alabama is
most gratifying to the members Of
the Sumter County Underwood COM
mittee," said Major James A. Fort
today in discussing the Alabama
primary results. "The whole
hearted endorsement given Senator
Underwood in his home state IN
dictates the esteem in which this
great Southern statesmen is held
!. in the hearts of his home people
people wko have known him for
years, many having associated with
him personally, and all of whom
have had opportunity to examine
and analyze most thoroughly his
his position upon public questions
and national issues.
Numerous kilograms received By
the Underwood committee during
Tuesday provide one of the most
gratifying incidents Of the Alabama
primary. Many OF these messages
coming from such populous indus
trial centers as Birmingham, Mont
gomery, Albany, Selma and Mobile,
where large railroad shops. are main
tanned relate how literally thous-
and of stalwart sons of labor left
their work benches to cast ballots
for Senator Underwood, he having
won magnificent victories in prac-
tically every industrial district in
the state. In Jefferson county, of
which Birmingham is the county
seat, and where the workers are
largely in a majority in every COM
munity, Senator Underwood's ma
jority over L. B. Musgrove, an
avowed McAdoo man, was more
than 1900 according to early re-
turns, and every indication points
TO this lead being largely increased
when the final count is announced.
''In the vast agricultural region
of Alabama stretching from Muscle
Shoals to Mobile Bay and from
Chattahoochee to the Mississippi
line, the vote cast in Tuesdays
primary reflects faith of Alabama
farmers in Oscar w. Underwood
and publishes to the world an UNI
deniable answer to vile calumny
that Senator Underwood is not a
friend Of farmers. Literally
thousands of horny handed sons of
toll in his home state have ans
wered in no uncertain terms this
unwarranted aspersion, and their
answer written with ballots at the
polls is proof conclusive Of the love
and respect in which Senator I'm
derwood is held among toilers who
know him best, and who had great

MAJORITY At POLLS

MONTGOMERY, March 12.-
Late returns from Alaibama's pres
idential preference primary this af-
ternoon indicate Senator Oscar w.
Underwood has swept the state
with big majorities totaling 10000
in all sections.
In Alabama's industrial sections
as well as in rural agricultural Gem
munities, Senator Underwood has
been given substantial endorsement.
Judge r. B. Evins, vice chair
man of the Underwood campaign
committee and chairman of the
state Democratic executive commit
tee, issued the following statemenr
"In the campaign just closed the
most determined effort has been
made by the enemies of Mr.. Under
wood and of the Democratic par
ty to discredit him in his home state
Powerful organizations have con-
Quoted bitter fight aaginst him.
The most unjustifiable and con-
scienseless misrepresentation have
been made and his inveterate enc
my, William J. Bryan, stumped the
state against against him.
Notwithstanding these opposing
forces the people of Alabama have
registered their APPROVAL of Senator
Underwood in the most emphatic
terms. The endorsement of the Leg
islature and of the executive COM
mittee have been ratified at the
polls by the people themselves. The
march that will end in the White
House has begun"

 Two in New Britain.
 During five months of this year the number of fatal automobile acci- dents ehowed a decrease from the total for the corresponding months of last year. These months were May, July, August, September and October, when traffic supervision was at it's height, and the motor vehicle department felt greatly encouraged in its safety campaign. The traffic hazards were increased in Norem- ber by the large number Of automo- piles which sWarmed 10 and from the mojor football games of the season. Several of the November accidents occurred on the dates of the big games. All but eight of the deaths occurred outside the large cities. New Haven, New London and New Britain had two each and Har ord and Waterbury one each, as against seven each in Hartford and Waterbury in November, 1923, four in New Haven, three in Bridgeport and one each Tn New London and N.w Britain. Increased traffic supervision in the large cit- les may he responsible for the re- duction Of fatal accidents within their limits.
 There was also an increase in general accidents, There w4re 2,lQ5 of these last month as against 1853 in November, 1923, making the tota, of general motor vohict4 acci- dcns for the tiret eleven months of this year about 19,377. wh,roas the total for all Of 1923 Was 1C.5on.
 Only sev5n towns have perfect records for the year, as for as tho motor vehicle department rec9rlS show. Those are Ashford, Iartlac1 Scotland, sherman, Union, Warreg and Weston. No accidents of any kind have been reported as having occurred within the limits Of thcse towns
