Alabama Executive Believes If House
Leader is Nominated He Will Be

Atlanta, April 27-Gov. Emmett
O'Neal of Alabama, in passing thru
Atlanta today, gave out an interest
ing authorized interview. Governor
O'Neal spoke in Rome last night to
an overlooking meeting He spoke last
night to a tremendous crowd in Ma
con and will speak in Atlanta tomor-
row night, all of these speeches be-
ing made in the interest of Hon. Os-
car w. Underwood for the presidency.
His interview follows 81 do not
think that any stronger recommenda-
tion could be given for Hon. Oscar
w. Underwood than has already been
given by the national democratic
party. When the democrats, repre-
senting every state in the Union, met
in Washington to chose a leader for
the democratic party, they chose Os-
car Underwood. Is not that the most
convincing proof that he is the choice
of the democrats of the country"
Because William Mckinley was the
greatest man of the republican party,
he was chosen as leader of the re-
publicans in the house. Because he
typified republican ideas of protective
tariff he was later chosen to bear the
republican standard in the presiden-
tial campaign. AS Oscar Underwood
typif1es the democratic idea of lower
tariff, he is now the logical man to
carry the democratic banner.
p have not the slightest doubt
that he will be elected, if nominated,
and l believe his chance for the nom
ination are equal to those of any man
in the race today. Neither great no.
tional party has ever nominated or
elected candidate without the cleo
toral vote of New York. The New
York democratic executive commit
tee, at its meeting a few days ago,
endorsed the Underwood tariff meas
ure and condemned the initiative, ref
erendum and recall

Il ask many If there is any objec-

they would be delighted of an oppor-
portunity to show to the contrary.
They said that it would be the CROWN
ing triumph of national patriotism and
public spirit They even went so far

be nominated, in order that this patri-
otic sentiment might be injected int0
the campaign.
