ing the nomination of Oscar Under

.cendant Of Thomas jefferson, dwell
on the fact that there vas today
no dividing line in the United Stale:
and that there was no reason VIII!
the Democratic party should not &C
to the South for its candidate. He
emphasized the many qualifications
which he said Mr.. Underwood the
best standard bearer the party could
name. The Democratic party's
strength, he declared was in its adj
herence to the principles of Jeffer-
son; and these principles, he added
were exemplified in the actions and
beliefs of Mr.. Underwood.
There is no other man today,
said Mr.. Anderson. ITO whom the
party owes more than to Oscar W
Underwood, and there is no Other
whose nomination holds out greater
promise for the common people of oul
country or whom they will moro
readily support.
do you desire progress? Our can
didate is progressive in the only true
sense Of the word, in going steadi-
ly forward and upward without let
ting go of the well-tried ancient
faiths, and without ignoring or con
demning the lessons and experience
Of the past.
do you wish a mar Of experience
well-verSed in the legislative and go
vernmental affairs and machines OF
our country? The record and career
of our candidate for sixteen years
in Congress gives you all the as
surance you could possibly desire.
Look at his record for achievements
and for leadership. 1t deserves and
il receives the admiration of the en-
tire country for its constructive,
progressive craftsmanship. and for
the truly marvellous qualities and
abilities he has exhibited as a leader
Of men.
"Who was it," asked Mr.. Ander-
son, that lifted the party out Of

and set it upon its feet?
II was Underwood of Alabama. Who
was it that wrought harmony out of

Then, going on to describe the
qualities needed in a leader who
could carry the Democratic party TO

put Mr.. Underwood in command OF
the forces in that battle where his
brilliant achievements already
created Denocracy's opportunity and
redeemed Democratic pledges. Tho
