From FIorlaa

oscar Underwood, however, has
more friends than any man mentioned
for the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation. He is more popular throughout
the country with all the Democrats than
the others. He is almost the unanimous
second choice. If you ask the Harmon
men who they would be for in case
Harmon could not be nominated they
will say Underwood; when you ask tine
Wilson men the same question as to
Wilson, they reply that If Wilson can
not be the nominee, Underwood is their
choice; and the same thing, is true OF
the Champ Clark men."-T. A. jennings

DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

The most salient fact connected with
the story of the bill in the present Con-
eress is the remarkable strength OF the
Democratic tactics, and the high quail
ity shown by Mr.. Underwood, the leader
of the party on the floor. The farmers
free list bill was a master stroke, and
Mr. Underwood utilized it in the debate
with an effectiveness that left nothing to
be desired. What gives real strength to
the Democratic position is that the party
is graphing with big ano a''n nan.

UNDERWOOD LOOMS UP

Whether the disclaimer of Represen-
tatiye Oscar w. Underwood of candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination tor
president is to stand or not. there is no
question that he is looming large and
seriously. no less at the North than At
the South, as a possibility. if not this
time, then in the near future Mr;
Underwood is making widespread and
distinctive impression, not only as the
honest bold, sagacious leader OF the
House majority, and not only as mas
terful Southern Democrat. but as an
American publicist and statesman,
man of affairs and broad concept Of
his responsibility to the whole people

J.ekserevv or Axe

That with the Democratic party al
ready in power in the House, and hav-
ing a visible chance of coming into COM
plete power in the National Govern
ment, it is of interest to learn from
what viewpoint the actual pilot-in-charge
of the Democracy's legislative ship looks
at his task and by what stars he shapes
his course. j.
Are they fixed and steadfast lights of
the political armament or are they mere
ly those will-o'-the wisps that flame up
as paramount issues" for this year,
only to be forgotten next year! We
get a comforting light on this question
from another remark by Mr.. Under
wood:
Il think the big question is the tariff.
It is the question of the development of
the industries and commerce OF the
nation"
From Democrat that is remark
well-nigh startling. 1t exhibits such an
unusual viewpoint. 1t is almost like
hearing Andrew Carnegie confess that
there might be such thing as a right
eous war. Heretofore, our Democratic
statesmen have so uniformly declared
that there was nothing to the tariff
question but stopping robbers" from
rObbing.
They never seemed to think OF tariff
as having anything to do with the de-
velopment OF industries and commerce.
Mr.. Underwood does. He says we
should reduce our tariff because with
the settlement of the West we have left
behind the days when our home market
absorbed the products of Our factories
and left us no surplus for which we
needed to look for a market abroad.
He holds that our industrial develop
ment has outstripped the increase in
domestic demand, and that we are pro-
ducinp. or at least have the existing ca
pacity to produce, great surplus OF
manufactures for which we must find
markets in other countries. Therefore,
and since I'VE cannot trade with other
people unless we permit them to trade
with u.s." reduce the tariff to competi.

of the Government require"
One may agree or disagree with that
theory of tariff making. One may disbe-
lieve that its effects will be develop.

of passing popular delight with the --latest

THE MANNER OF MAN nE IS

After the Southern manner. Mr.. Un-
derwood is unaffectedly democratic. He
meets men as one who, respecting him
self. also respects them. He does nj
wear the manner Of one who expects 10

remind you of one who fears he may

A PRACTICAL DEMOCRAT

St. Louis honors Oscar w. Under
wood for his character, for his achieve
ments and for his Democracy.
The Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee is practical Democrat. His
leadership in the House Of Representa-
tives shows that. He possesses the
ability to enlist men of varying ideas,
plans and moods in support of desirable
and feasible objects. Men who agree
on basic principles may be involved in
bitter hostility by antagonisms which in
their essence amount to little.

Mr.. Underwood's example as leader
of Democrats in Congress is worthy OF
emulation elsewhere. 1t makes for toll
GRANGE. Tolerance makes for unity.
Unity makes for progress. There is no
other way to render Democracy ef-
fective.
The young Democrats of St Louis
who persuaded Mr.. Underwood to be-
come their guest will find in his policy
as well as his principles the best hope
of party achievement and party life

The Conserve
tive South

Not many days ago. it was suggested
in an editorial in this paper that the peo-
pie of that section of the Union that
tried half a century ago to break up
the Union of the States. might possibly
turn out to be the home of a conser-
vatism thai would stand as a barrier
against cnange in our scheme of gov
eminent that would destroy the fabric
of the Constitution adopted by our wise
forefathers. and ratified by the States
that had fought for and achieved indie
pendence and freedom.
AS evidence that such thing may be
among the possibilities a paragraph is
here quoted from speech made by
Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, of Ala
bana, to the Young Mems Democratic
League of St. Louis:
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1912-04-19

As the reader knows, Mr.. Underwood
is the Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Representa-
tives at Washington. But for the tact
that he is a native and a lifelong resi-
dent of the South he would stand flne
chance to be made the Democratic can
didate for President next year: Candor
compels the statement that he is as well
qualified for the performance OF the du-
ties of the great Office as any one IN
his party who has been mentioned IN
that connection, and it is not doubted
that If elected he would make safe

"Some Democrats want to put
the initiative and referendum
plank into the national platform
of the Democratic party. l
think that would be unwise.
The initiative and referendum
as a local issue is sometimes
successful. But when you at
tempt to apply it to the United
States you destroy the entire
fabric of the Constitution. We
are not a true democracy. This
is a representative Govern
ment."
