HAD THE HONOR
FORCED UPON HIM

II fs q high honor to be typical
southern man. SO Mr.. Oscar w. Under
wood Il not to blame for accepting 1t
without protest when it Is thrust upon
him. His real right and title to the
dignity Is thus discussed by the Tam
pa Times:
at does not make any difference TO
the Times, but ii does seem rather a
Joke that the people and papers that
are so rabid about real genuine
typical southern man for candidate to
the presidency should pitch on MEM
her Of the Kentucky Underwood fam
fly as its special representative. The
forbears Of Hon. Oscar w. Underwood
have always been wings, protection
lists and rabid Union men through the
period preceding and occupied by the
late civil war. The Alabama con-
gresham was taken to Minnesota in
1865 by his father and lived there
during the formative period Of his life,
or until 1884. when the development
OF the Birmingham district drew him
south. There is nothing whatever to
his discredit In these circumstances,
but there is a gentle vein of comedy in
the farce presented by his exclusive
southern admirers and friends He is
perhaps the most striking living ex-
ample Of man who is fully entitled
to pray to be delivered from his fool
friends. They have simply made him
ridiculous. but let US remember that
he did not and does not deserve it.
Therefore let US draw 1t mild. except
when It becomes necessary to use 1T as
. gag for some over noisy pretenders
to southern patriotism. You might
know by now that there is no special
brand Of southern patriotism that can
be sorted out and separated from the
national brand"
