MINNESOTA VISITOR
 LAUDS UNDERWOOD
Began Says They Consider Him Same Type as the
 Late Gov. Johnson

That the people of Minnesota believe 1T Underwood placing him in the same cir ce of public men as they did the la mented Governor John Johnson was what William J. Regan bank examiner of that state, said yesterday while in Bi.- mineham.
 MT. Began has been here few days looking over the city and district and much to his amazement found Birming- ham about twice the size that he thought the city. He was highly pleased with the city and the cordiality shown him by friends he met here.
 In speaking of Mr. Underwood, Mr. Began said he did not hesitate to say that the Alabama presidential candilata was immensely popular in his state. He said that the people or Minnesota loved q man of the type of their Governor Johnson and they believed MT. Under wood bore a kinship to him by reason ol his sturdy faithfulness and his unceas- ing work for the plain people.
 "In our state Congressman Underwood is very popular, said Mr. Began, be cause of his eminent honesty and broad
 
 all along and has exemplifed that type of honesty that the pioneers of the West admire It will be recalled that yo 1, favorite son lived in Minnesota seVe. ..i years and there perhaps absorbed some of those qualities of high mindedness that have served to make him a great leader of men.
 T believe that all things being equal he has the best chance to land the pre3l- dental nomination on the democratic ticket 1T onr lamented Governor John son had lived there Is no question in my mind but that he would have been chosen to lead the nests of democracy 10 victory. The next best man to him IS your MT Underwood. l am republi- can in politics, but was one of the JOnn- son democrats.
 s'l am certainly pleased that on my first trip 10 the south was a visitor 10 MT | nderwood home. not only on ae- count of him. but on account of my learning what splendid city you have here. There cannot be any question aDout the future of Birmingham as it Is plainly visable 10 the man with the slightest imagination.'
