. Underwood Movement Popular

Underwoods presidential candidacy is now almost as popular in Georgia as it is in Alabama. In this state practically everybody is for Under wood, as a matter of course, and it is fast coming to be that way in Georgia. Woodrow Wilson had an active start in Georgia last fall, but there has been strong undercurrent for Underwood for some months past, and even without organization the Underwood boom had been strongly in evidence. But in the past few days Underwood's Georgia friends have perfected thorough organization and great enthusiasm has been aroused over the Alabama statesman.
 One good thing about the Georgia people is that they go at everything worth while with intense earnestness. The masses in that state always take
 
 a lively interest in politics and every voter over there takes sides and de- clares himself When Georgians are for you they are for you with all their heart. Now, since Underwood is Georgia's favorite, other southern states will quickly get into line. Flor ida, like Georgia, has recently been organized for Underwood and it will probably send solid delegation to Baltimore to vote for the great demo- cratic leader.
 As has been repeatedly pointed out Underwood is the logical man to head the democratic ticket. He was so recognized last year when he showed his splendid capacity as a leader as we'll as his constructive statesman ship. If he was the logical candidate then, he is the logical man now with double emphasis. The country at large recognizes him as the strongest man the democrats could put up. The south seems to have hesitated on the old ground that they didn't suppose southern man was available. It seemed strange indeed to the north that the south was so backward in asserting itself when it had the man above all others fit for the presidency. The south is at last beginning to ap- preciate it's great opportunity.
 Within the next four or five weeks Underwood should be assured of practically the entire southern dele gation. The Underwood boom in Georgia and Florida will certainly be an inspiration to neighboring states.

The Iron Market

The local iron market Is without espe- cial feature this week, but the outlook for an advance in price is bright Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report says:
 'The recent general progress in bnsi- ness throughout the country has been reflected in the iron trade during the week, which, while not remarkable. has maintained an improved condition over the two weeks before, Sales in the local territory. while small individually, have footed up good aggregate and at the present writing there are several inquiries for good size tonnage pending.
 ''The price situation in both north and south is steadier. The advent of spring brings more caution in the selling propo- sition with blast furnaces as there are almost invariably difficulties in the coal fields and trouble with coke supply from labor controversies. Whether this Will be as manifest this year as before, re- mains to be seen. It has had an effect in firming prices in Pittsburg and Buff ialo districts.
 Current business in rails, car equip ment and structural lines continues good and there is a big tonnage in prospect.
 Pig iron output during February was about 50,0o0 tons increase over the pre- ceding month. although February was the shorter month.

WHY NOT UNANIMOuss

From the Atlanta Constitution
 That Georgia follow the example set in Alabama and give her unanimous support to Oscar Underwood. the party's leader in the House, is the striking suggestion made by Hon. G. R. Hutchens, who will manage MT. Underwood's campaign in this state.
 The idea has all the force of practical blity and of sentiment. Georgians large ly settled Alebaniag and fosaJled her fn- stitutions. To that degree our own state stands in the nature of godmother to the adjoining commonwealth. In Ala aoama the respective democratic candidates-Wilson Harmon. Clark-recognizing the distinc- tive claims of MT. Underwood, have with drawn all official canvasses and aspira- tions, out of compliment to him.
 Why should not the same condition pre- vail in Georgia? If 1t were a graceful tribute to Underwood for the partisans of the other aspirants to concentrate on Underwood in Alabama, why should such q course not be also appropriate and graceful in Georgia? There is decided ly practical feature to the situation. For the first time since the civil war the peo- pie of Georgia are confronted with the opportunity to support for the presidency not only a southerner born and bred, but one from a sister state.
 It Is increasingly in evidence that Mis- sissippi to the west of Alabama, sees the matter in this light Conditions there are fast crystalizing into a landslide for the Alabamian. If Alabama is the first daughter of Georgia, Mississippi is the second. And if both Mississippi and Ala bama pay tribute to, g. distinguished southern democrat whose name has be- come household word throughout the land. is there not every reason why Georgia, mother of both of them, should make 1t unanimous?
 Logic, sentiment, pride of relationship and of party all combine Co endow Mir. Hutchens' suggestion with rare appeal and appropriateness.

Evidences of Prosperity

q was very much impressed with a survey of what is doing in the business center of Birmingham in the building line as announced few mornings ago. said s. H. Floyd, a well known citizen of Birmingham.
 "The statement that since January 1 there has been announced over S3,o0o.0Oo in new buildings convinces the most skep- tical that although this is a presidential year the activities of big town will not let up' The new buildings indicate to my mind the further fact that in Bir- minglam the people with money are con- fident that this city will grow faster dur ing the next few years than0ever before and that money spent will not only be safe but will earn a large return as an investment. 1 am told also that resi- dences are in much demand in Birmng- ham. That fact shows clearly how fast Birmingham is going forward and how stable are conditions here.'

WHY NOT FOR UNDERWOOD,

From the Charlotte Observer
 Why doesn't the Birmingham News join the Underwood procession? What has Underwood ever done to deserve the op- position of our contemporary? Has he not made a good representative in Congress? Has he not always been perfectly straight in his democracy? Why should so emi- nent a newspaper as the Birmingham News run after strange gods instead of standing by it's own well equipped and thoroughly dependable congressman?

The band was out and the governor

The governor devoted considerable

claimed by Roosevelt.
On the other hand Governor 3urke

WAY TAFT IS GAINING.

In the wav of Taft sentiment which

the tardy realization on the part Of

vetoes by the president of democratic

right now be in the grip Of industrial
depression. if not OF actua lpanic, in

prosperity.
The analysis of these tariff bills ana
