 The talk of serlots spit n oscar Underwood and speaket eieffr q without foundation. They are in pe~ fnei harmony. They may differ os s0nic oisss. tions. It is natural that tssy stould They are both strong, able alfd patriotic legislators with independent views But they can and do harmonize on great party issues and both are willing to sac- rifice personal opinion to party programme and party principle.
 Mr. Underwood is not a candidate for President. He has never encouraged the boom that has been started in his behalf by his friends.

This is partly for the reason that he Is mil nority member of the ways and means committee. It is also possible that there is some clever politics in the move
 It has been and is still persistently ru- mored that Colonel Roosevelt Is mak- ing goo-goo eyes at the republican nom nation. If he is in any way candidate "Nick'' Longworth would be expected to support him. But since he has assumed
