 Sees Resentment Rising =.
 "As stated to the democratic execu- tive committee, these tactics, such as taking away from the voters the right to select their delegates and inflicting unnecessary and undemocratic primaries upon the people, has caused a smonld. ering resentment, which such threats as these of Mir. Underwood's chairman that if independent men dare to vote against Mir. Underwood that they will inflict severe punishment upon them, has not lessened.
 T am forced to believe that this smouldering resentment will soon be- come a raging. fire until all such mar row minded adtocratc, would-be dicta- tors as those who"seek to control the state ill their own interest, and in the interest of Mir. Underwood. are driven from every vestage of political power in this commonwealth, it is time that such men as compose Mir. Underwood $ committed, responsible for such acts and threats, be made to understand that the sovereign democratic voters of Alabama refuse to take orders from anyone, whether they be congressman, senators, committeeman ex-governors, present governors, or future governors.
 No wonder they were in hurry to have this infamous primary on March II. For at the rate the flame of indignation is spreading, it was their only hope to be able to put their nefarious scheme over before the con- flagation had swept the state as it was certain to have done this May, and which now bids fair to have spread sufficiently to result in the destruction of Underwood and all his struggling camp followers who threaten If you dare to oppose him we will punish you by robbing you of more and more of your rights that democracy has heretofore vested in you.
