attracted the attention of the en-
tire country by victories in their
respective commonwealth and
their efforts to bring their people
the greatest good to the largest
number are commendable. In
theory the one differs from the
other on some proposition, not
fundamentable and not yet fully
accepted by Democrats through
out the country. Underwood
and Clark are fighting the battle
along undisputed Democratic
lines in a most effective manner.
Their removal from The Old
Kentucky Home should cut no
figure. Their present geograghi-
cal position should not figure to
their disadvantage. One in the
middle West, one in the sunny
South, but both giants in the
arena of political life. The peo-
pie want a President who will be
true to them and just to legiti-
mate business in every part of
the country. Geographical lines
will not direct the ballot nor fail
to make the right Democrat
President. On another page is
