 I do not know where this first story started, who first told it or the sug gestion.' It is not new story. It has been told on other congressman ever since there were congressman. MT. Un- derwood has probably heard the story so often that he will forget whether the alleged fact really happened to him or not.
 Here is the story as l find it in one of the current publications.
 Representative Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee in Congress-. represents what is known as manufacturing district" because it contains all the factories and smelters in and about Birmingham, Ala. But he also has among his constituents lot of farmers--of which fact he is now painfully aware.
 He drove out to a settlement in Bibk county one afternoon to persuade the farmers they ought to vote for him. As he stepped up to the proch of q little store, an old man rushed up to him with the request:
 '.Please sign this paper. It's pe- tition to Congressman Underwood to have young lady posrmistress here "Td be glad to sign it." said Under wood politely, but. as I'm not a resi- dent of this community, my name wouldn't help you"
