Underwood and Hobson in Alabama Senate Fight
Montgomery February 16. The seven months battle between Oscar Underwood, Alabama’s majority leader in the House, and Richmond Hobson for the U S Senate vacancy narrows as Democratic primaries approach. Hobson, the ex-naval hero, campaigns nationwide while Underwood rests his bid but remains active in Alabama. Prohibition and corporate influence figures color the race as joint debates waver and governorship contenders emerge for the April primary. Political tensions rise with accusations of absenteeism, liquor interests, and intense regional strategy shaping the contest.
