 We prohibitionists have the utmost confidence in Underwood and his pledge of law enforcement. I believe that a large majority of the prohibition faction voted for him, and that he is indebted to them for his victory. A great many of the most prominent prohibitionists of this state voted for him because they believe he is utterly reliable and will stand back of his oath to enforce the existing laws.'
 John w. Sibley, recognized as one of the most active prohibition men in Birmingham, in a communication to The Age Herald Wednesday said: ~ was highly gratified to note from the vote at our city boxes, with which 1 was most familiar, that intelligent and patriotic prohibitionists voted for Senator Underwood in overwhelming numbers. My own box gave him 169 to total of 15 for his opponents"
 Majority For Underwood
 Borden Burr. said: 'The majority of the prohibitionists voted for Underwood. There is no question about that. and believe that his success is a victory not only for Underwood personally, but for all the conservative forces of the state. The election was not one of prohibition or Ku eKlux Klan, for in my opinion both these forces treated the matter as though more important questions were at stake, and looked past petty disagreements."
 T. $. Smith, said: I've lived, prac- ticed and preached prohibition for 50 years, and l believe that Oscar Under wood is as dry as the dryest, and I think the majority of the prohibition element in Birmingham voted for him. No man should ride into office, how ever, on prohibition platform, as that question already has been settled. l don't know of single prohibition leader who didn't work for Underwood in his campaign
 F. w. Dixon. said: As many pro hibitionists voted for Oscar Underwood as for any other, man. In fact, it was a prohibition victory. Through person al acquaintance with Mir. Underwood I know that when he pledges himself tn enforce the laws he will stand back | of his nlpdpp '
