STUDENTS PRAISE
 MR. UNDERWOOD Housing Meeting of Club at
 University Monday MANY MAKE TALKS
Representative Fleetwood Rice, Judge Brandon and President SaffOld Make Speeches on behalf of
 Distinguished Citizen

University, December 12.-(special. "A rousing meeting of the Underwood eiuh of the University of. Alabama was held last night in the Physics lecture room at the university. This was the first public convention of the organization, whose sole object is to promote the nomination. of Congressman oscar W. Underwood for the presidency of the United States.
 The meeting was rich in oratory. Rep resentative Fleetwood Rice of Tuscaloosa, Judge w. w. Brandon also of Tuscaloosa, and President Saffod of the university were the speakers of the evening. Presi- dent Robert Thach of the club introduced Representative Rice, who recited brief history of the life of Congressman Under wood, starting from the days of his in- fancy and tracing it until he won name and fame in the halls of the American Congress- Through all his career he said that Underwood had not said one foolish thing or shirked his duty.
 Judge Brandon followed Representative Rice, and in a patriotic manner for sup port for tho Alabama man. Judge Bran don was for Underwood, of course, be- cause he is an Alabaman and represented with honor the Ninth congressional dis trct. But he is a citizen of the United States and the logical candidate.
 Amid 1eafening applause President Saf- fold of the university, who is a great favorite with the students, arose to speak, and in well chosen words told why he had deviated from the idea that college president should not attend college gathering. He was eager to create a pub lie sentiment that only worthy men should offer themselves for public office. He closed with the statement that this coun- try had waited long for man to i'll the presidency; who has combined independ- ence with the willingness to listen to the advice of others; for man who combined bravery with prudence; for man who combined patriotism with state craft and for man of the type of oscar w. Under wood

whether the burning of the North

the increase. ne stated that he did not
believe so, because there was more
business TO be handled this year than
ever before ana that large numbers
were turned away, Also he said, many
who had planned on going on the
lakes, abandoned the trip because of
the destruction Of that boat.
