Republicans and Underwood

It is significant that the republicans studiously decline to recognize the Un- derwood boom. They all admit that he is a strong and able man. They do not want him nominated on the democratic ticket.
 few days ago the Washington Star printed leading story in the first column on the front page in which it was stated with a great show of authority that the friends of Oscar w. Underwood have started a boom for him for second place on the Presidential ticket The story did not give the name of one of the alleged friends back of the alleged boom. It was clearly an attempt to overshadow the real boom that is being conducted by the friends of MT Underwood and the design was too clear for effect.

Speakers Ambition

If Speaker Clark attempts a political coupe on the floor of the House he will be responsible for the consequences. MT. Underwood is not playing personal poli- ties and will not do so during the next session.
 He feels the great responsibility of his position and duties as chairman of the ways and means committee and will con scientiously devote his whole time and energy to what he believes to be his duty. He absolutely declined to give any encouragement to the boom that has been started by his friends and admirers for the presidency. His level headed in- difference to the great honors that have been thrust upon him is proof of his true greatness. He will hold strictly to busi- ness and will permit no personal ambition to creep between him and what he be- lieves his plain duty to the people
 He will ente' into no scramble on the floor of the House except to defend the

Worked Together

During the last session MT. Underwood and the speaker worked we'll together on the floor and openly. There were differ ences in caucus but when they came on the floor of the House they were agreed and workd handsomely together. Now it is up to MT. Clark to carry his differ ences to the floor of the House If he would keep the good will of the Nebras- kan.
 2 Everyone can guess what will result if a fight between. the followers of Under wood and the followers of Bryan should be precipitated on the floor. MT. Under- wood will win hands down but the effect on the party is not desirable. Such re- suit would not work any permanent in- jury and might result in permanent good. Bryan is to be reckoned with in some way. The show down will come some- time. If he is to control the party it might as we'll be early as late. If ha is to be finally eliminated let it come as soon as possible.
 These factional differences cannot be avoided in any party. It is part of the great game of politics.

Bryan Is Silent

Mir Bryan has never put himself right before the people on this attack.
 If he makes another assault on the House of Representatives and the honest course that has been taken by MT. Under wood and his followers, MT Underwood will be ready to defend himself
 If MT. Underwood's name is carried to the next national democratic convention as the most logical one to head the next presidential ticket, it will not be of his own designing, but will be the result of unselfish labor for the people in the sim pie performance of duty.
 And the American people have never been slow to recognize true worth and ability,
