Last year, Mr.. Joe Mitchell Chapple.
editor Of the National Magazine spent
{ three days with Mr.. Yawter. attending
various sessions Of the Chautauquas
and taking notes OF the work accom-
plished. A few months later he pub
5lished in his magazine an illustrated
article telling Of the System Chautau:
qua and its work. This article was
widely read and commented on by the
editors Of the middle west. Il.
Later a similar visit was made by
Ralph Parlette. editor Of Lyceumite
and Talent. a magazine devoted en-.
tirely to lyceum and Chautauqua inter-
ests. Mr.. Parlette soon thereafter also
published an illustrated article and set
forth in extended and detailed fash

During the past year numerous ar.

News and great many newspapers
throughout the west. These articles.
all reveal the SO me thing-viz. that the
system is bigger and better than the
editors before knew--and there has
been a general expression OF surprise
at the tremendous results achieved.
These magazine. and newspaper sto-
ries have helped to spread the gospel.
Of the Chautauqua uplift. and their in
6uence is plainly felt. This year several
towns that knocked for admission into
the vawter system. had to be refused
the privilege owing to the shortness Of
the season.

A FALSE POSITION

Rumors generally believed to have
emanated from the camps of men who
either are or have been considered as
Democratic presidential possibilities, that
Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, could not
command the support of the North be-
cause of the fact that he is a South
erner, are not only poppycock, pure and
simple, but they place the men of the
North in false position in the ewes
OF the people of the South and tend to
revive sectional feeling which has been
buried for many years. The effects of
such rumors are nil in the North be-
cause the people of the North know they
have not one iota of truth, but people
In the South are apt to take them more
seriously, and there is where they NAV
prove harmful, not only because of their
tendency to cause dissatisfaction on the
part of Southern Democrats, but be-
cause of the effect they may have in
giving rise to sectional prejudice through
false representations of conditions which
do not exist. No Northerner would
hesitate to support Mr.. Underwood be-
cause he comes from the South.-The

UNDERWOOD THE TAN

We have been humbugged and scared
off long enough by the bogy of North
ern prejudice against a Southern candi-
date. Underwood stands for just those
things which recent Northern MAORI
ties have declared they want-a revi-
sion of the tariff downward and the
destruction of special privilege. His
qualities of leadership have been tested
and approved. In his personality he
is solid, clean and sane, with the cour-
age of fighter and the clairvoyance of
true reformer, and if the South pre-
sents him as her candidate and the party
ratifes her choice this fine, strong char
acter of new day in our annals will
catch both the sentiment and the sober
Judgment of the North, sweep awav the
last remaining debris of the dead old
war and its dead issues and carry
enough States in that section to give us
the Presidency.-Live Oak, Fla, Demo

From the South

stroyed the Free List Bill, as well as
all the other features of the Democratic
platform The special session, however,
was not without far-reaching results,
Its chief accomplishments we're a reor-
gained Congress and a .resurrected

part which the Southern States are now
playing IN national affairs. With a
Southerner as Chief Justice, Southerner
as majority leader in Congress, and
Southerners as prominent candidates for
the Democratic presidential nomination
Clark, Underwood and Wilson-the
nation Is certainly more united than at
any time since the Civil War. No man
rejoices more over this changed situa-

interested in the solidarity of the forty
eight States than in the union of the
Democratic party."-Burton I. Hen

AIabana's
Candidate

Mr.. Underwood's service to the eoun-
try during nine terms in the National
House of Representatives has been most
distinguished. and has made his name a
household word in the homes of the
people. For more than 20 years he has
been in the very front of his partys
battle line, leader from his youth, and
ever faithful to his party's principles
and candidates. No Democrat can find
a flaw in his political record; no charge
of desertion IN any campaign; no accu-
sation of serving special Interests can
lie against him.
His congressional colleagues respect
him for his sincerity, his high sense OF
honor, his sagacity and his acISnowl-
edged ability, and this in itself is an
infallible proof of his merit, for none
know so well the capabilities of .
statesman as those who have served
many years with him and noted his
conduct in days of peace and those OF
political storm.-CinciHndt ENQUIRER

UNWORTHY SECTIONAL
AMUSEMENT

The most huiniliating paradox II
American politics to-day is the shrink.
ing attitude of some of our own people
toward the presidential possibilities OF
Southern men.
Inc civil war, the memories of which
furnished the nursery for this indefensi-
bic sectional abasement, is so years al
our back Ninety per cent of the Amer
lean voters who elect a president re-
member this war and its dividing rancor
only as history. With outstretched
hands, having given every proof of view
ing Mason and Dixon's line as no more
a political barrier than the Mississippi
or the Rockies, the dominant generation
at the North invites the South, its pub
lie men, by right of citizenship and by
right of demonstrated ability, into full
fellowship in the nations counsels.
South Wanting in BOIdness
What has been the answer of the
South-at least, the answer that may be
Interpreted BY the silence OF the diff
dence of hundreds of thousands of rep
resentative1 Southerners?
Obsessed by the ghosts of half a CEN
fury ago, guilty Of an embarrassment
and self-consciousness that is nothing
short Of aFrant sectional cowardice,
there is feeling among many South
erners that the wraiths OF the sixties
still stand between the South and the
White House-the South and that par
ticipation in the nations voice, the ma
tons destiny, to which the nation is
eager to admit US.

Mr. Underwood would make an ideal
President. He is broad-gauged, level
headed citizen; he doesn't slip his cere-
bral cogs and go off at a tangent as a
rabfd-exPohent of revolutionary dogma>
in an effort to popularize himself; he is
uniformly courteous to all men; he be-
lieves in reducing the high cost of iv-
ing in this country, not talking about il T;
he does not believe in destroying the
industries of the United States while at
the same time he is thorough believer
in the principles of tariff for revenue
only.

There is no hub-dub about Nj. I'm
derwood. He doesn't believe in shams.
He is big. brawny, brainy statesman,
without his lightning rod out to attract
the Democratic nomination for the pres
idency, and largely on that very account
he is liable to be the very man that will
get in the way of the bolt that may
elevate him to the White House,. w.

for President

The argument that he lives too far
South to be available is without weight.
The country has reached that state of
union--has been so closely drawn to-
gether by railroad and telegraph-that
Alabama IS brought to the door of New
York. Massachusetts, and Texas are near
neighbors and even the two Portiands,
of Maine and Oregon, stand within easy
hailing distance Of each other. So far
as any feeling of sectionalism is con-
cerned, or any prejudice against the Sc
lection of a Southern man for the presi-
dency, Underwood is, like Lincoln, a
native of Kentucky and therefore as
much Northern as Southern, was born

Takes Up
Underwood

The years since the Civil War have
rolled too fast and far to permit it to
be conceivable any longer that the cir
c'iiRstances Of Southern birth should
constitute in Northern judgment a dis
qualification in any degree whatever.
Both as to nomination and as to cleo
ton the Southerner will be rated in 1912
on his individual merits. As far as this
particular Southerner, Mr.. Oscar w.
Underwood, is concerned. it is agreeable
to note the absence of geography in
the regard in which he is held in all
parts of the Union.--New York San.
