TENNESSEE BEGINS ] UNDERWOOD WORK fT
 Nashville's Mayor Starts the
 Ball Rolling CLUB TO BE FORMED New Movement Is Expected to Make
 Great Inroads in Alignments i., Already Being Made in the State
CLUB TO BE FORMED

Nashville, January 6.--(Special) )-While the eyes of the political world of Tennes- see are turned toward Washington await ing the outcome of the Vertrees- Montcas- tie contest that will come up before the national committee Monday. there has been great deal of interest aroused here over the prospects of the formation of big Underwood club in Nashville next week.
 The movement will be led by Mayor Hil- lary E. Howse, who has agreed to take up the management of the organization, and a number of the most prominent bus mess and professional men have already enrolled themselves under the banner of Alabama's candidate for the highest posi- tion in the United States Mayor Howse said this afternoon that before the end of next week Mir. Underwood would have such pronounced following at the capital city that it would attract attention even beyond the borders of the state. Nashville's mayor is known to be hard worker, and in taking the lead for MT. Underwood he is only making material move for the man he has all along fav- bred for the democratic nomination.
 When MT. Oscar c. Turner was in Nashville In the interest of the candidacy of MT. Underwood, Mayor Howse un- hesitatingly said he would take charge of the local movement in behalf of the chairman of the ways and means com mittee, and others informed MT. Turner that they would be glad to lend every assistance to the movement. The list has been growing and it now looks like it will be surprisingly large when the initial meeting assemblies some day next week to start the Underwood ball rolling in the Volunteer state.
 MT. Underwood got a considerable hunch during the holidays by the Tennessee congressman who came home and some of them went so far as to advise Their constituents that the feeling that a southern man could not be elevated this lime, was more apparent in the south

than 1t was in the north. The favorable reports spreading over the state in this way tended to arouse some considerable general interest and the lead that Nash vile is to take in favor of the Alabamian will be followed up, no doubt, by sub stantial clubs at important points over the state.
 This would mean a considerable break up of the line up that has been going on for few weeks past between the forces behind Governor Harmon and Gov ernor Wilson. With the independent dem ocrats the sentiment has been growing for Wilson and the regulars have been solidifying on Harmon. It has looked like there would be two delegations from Ten nessee, as there are two organizations, and many on both sides see a, panacea. for this in the instruction of single delegation for the favorite son of the sister state of Alabama.

GOVERNOR STUDBS !. FAV0RS ROOSEVELT.
Wants Him Nominated and Elected-Gives His
 Reasons

l Topeka, Kan, January CT am In ia- vor of the nomination and election of Theodore Roosevelt for president" Gov ernor stubbs progressive" republican, says in a statement issued here late today
 First" Governor Stubbs continues, "be- cause the imperative need in our coun- try for the next four years Is a presi- dent who believes in his heart the policies advocated by Lincoln and who <has the courage of his convictions
 "Second, because Colonel Roosevelt more than any other man. is responsible for the nation wide forward movement in the direction of government admin istered honestly and vigorously without fear or favor, for rich, poor, high, low, black and white.
 "Colonel Roosevelt is not only the logi- cal candidate for president at this time but he is the only one who is sure to win. He can carry the New England states. New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and his majority throughout sthe middle west and Pacific states would not only carry the full republican vote in Kansas if nominated, but he would re- ceiVe large share of progressive demo- cratic votes.
 Personally I am very fond of Senator LaFollette, and regard him as great constructionist statesman but have not encouraged any general movement for him in Kansas I am fully convinced that Colonel Roosevelt is the only man who can be depended upon to win and thereby save the country from four years of uncertain political experiments which may invite the wreck and ruin of those great national policies associated with his name.
 ITO remove Senator LaFollette at this time from the progressive" leadership of the Senate would be to take a great factor for good out of that body and weaken the common cause in vital place."

All went we'll until Governor Patterson year aga sought third term, and in that connection endeavofed to force upon the party his own candidates for the judi ciary. The independent democrats refused to tolerate Patterson any longer and made a deal with the republicans to support their candidate for governor in return for support of the independent democratic ticket The judicial campaign was held some months prior to the regular state election and the fusion ticket won over the Patterson organization. By that time Patterson, realizing that he was doomed to defeat, withdrew from the guberna- torial race and Senator Taylor was named in his place. The republicans insisted that the independent democrats carry out their agreement nevertheless to support the republican nominee for governor.

 CONVENTION BADLY
Presidential Preference Primaries Will Also Cause Some Discussion, Although It Is Not Regarded
 as Serious Question

l Washington, January 6.-tSpecial.)---, | The democratic national committed which meets in Washington on Mon
 day, the anniversary of the battle or New orleans, and popularly known Tn democratic councils as Jackson day, VIII have several interesting little questions to settle besides the determination Of the time and place for holding the next national convention of the party.
 The representatives of the naEonal
 organization of the party are coming
 together with full confidence of ap-
 preaching victory at the polls next fall
 and on the surface of things all Is har-
 monious, but there is promise of sew
 eral issues arising at the meeting of
 the committee which will at least serve
 to make the gathering interesting. The same proposition which caused the republican national committee no small amount of worry will be brought forth in the democratic meeting. It is the proposition to hold presidential preference primaries, wherein the dem ocratic voters will be allowed, in se- lecting their convention delegates, to
 express their choice for the presidential
 nomination.

Chicago Gets Republicans

Chicago has won the republican con Nehtlon and is offering nothing to the democrats except convention expenses. Its advantages are regarded as superior to those of almost any other city, but the democrats do not exactly like the idea .of using the same decorations that Chi cago is to use for the entertainment of the republicans and they object to meet Ing in the same city in which the re- publeans assemble. New York is not se- riously considered, despite the talk of the metropolis. Since the passing of Madison Square Garden, there is no suitable hall in the big town for holding conven-
 tion. Moreover, the progressive demo- crats fear the charge would be made that
 the influence of Wall street was exerted
 in the making of the platform or the
 naming of the candidate.
 Denver is again a contender and the Colorado city also has the money to con- tribute. Were it not for the fact that 1t is so far west Denver might very easily win the distinction of acting as host to the democrats in 1913, as it did in 1908. The democrats liked the town the climate and the entertainment which they got. In advance of the meeting of
 the committee, it is impossible to say
 which city twill be accorded the honor
 When the national committee concludes ita lahors there will be grand $5 a plate banquet at which most of the represen- tative leaders of the party will be pres ent. and the first gun of the campaign will be fred

Fight Imminent

If the committee gets away nsiaa As-s- ing a fuss over these two 4aItes the members will feel gratifed. e preiicr ton is that Palmer and Monteastle autf representing the progressive clement Of the party, will be successful.
 These matters settled, the e0mmittee will select a city in which to hold the convention and fix the date for the assembling of the delegates. Baltimore was the first city in the race for the convention. It made it's entrance last January at the time the democratic ju- bilee was held in the Maryland city, following the democratic victory of tho previous fall. The idea was suggested by former Senator Blackburn of Ken lucky in a speech at the celebration. Baltimore at once took it up and has been>busy upon 1t ever since, even go- ing to the extent of subscribing $100,- 900 to be turned over to the national committee as soon as that body says that Baltimore may entertain the dele gates. The one drawback which the Monumental city has. is it's lack of a suitable hall. The Fifth Regiment arm ory in which 1t Is planned to hold the convention is small as compared to halls in such cities as Chicago, St Louis, Denver and Kansas City. There Is some sentiment attached to Balti- more as a convention city, however, by reason or the Iact that the democrats have not met there since the Civil war, and many southern committeeman are pledged to vote for Baltimore
 St Louis Is Baltimores most active competitor and promises to cover any amount which Baltimore may name It has a coliseum, the acoustic properties or which are said to be as nearly per- rect as can be and which seats 15,O0O people or more Besides, the city has ample hotel accommodations. One ob- lection raised to St. Louis is the ex- treme heat there in July, and another is the fact that it's selection might be regarded as move to further the can didacy of Speaker Champ Clark. Friends or other candidates declare that it would be easy for the Clark men to pack the galleries with "rooters'' for the Speaker and thus attempt to infiu- ence the delegates. Maryland, on the other hand, has no candidate to present to the convention
