No Republican Handicap

Hereafter however. we will be withou. handicap. The House next year will be democratic of course. There is every req son to believe that the democrats will be in control of the Senate. A democrat will occupy the presidential chair And then l. the democrats are capable of accom- plishing, they will have their opportunity of making good. It seems that there is great period of prosperity in store for the nation. When Wilson wins. there is no reason to fear that the democrats will lose their tenure of office at the conclu- sion of his administrations.
 MT. Underwood is in excellent health. He makes it plain that he deeply feels with gratitude the support of his home people in his candidacy for the presiden- tial nomination, and that he does not feel envious of the man who won that distinc. ton,

 Congress

Oscar W. Underwood. leader of the democratic majority in Congress. whose work has made it practical certainty that Woodrow Wilson will be elected President of the United States. reached Birmingham from Hot Springs, Va. Tuesday morning at l o'clock.
 One of the first expressions which fell from the lips of MT. Underwood after greeting a representative of The Age Herald. was in the form of re- quest that the people of Alabama be thanked for their splendid support of him when he was candidate for the presidential nomination. And l am glad to get home," he added.
 Mrs. Underwood will remain in Bir- mingham until December 1. MT. Un- derwood, however. will leave for the east about October l. for the purpose of making campaign speeches in fla vor of Woodrow Wilson He will speak in New York. New Jersey, Con necticut and probably Massachusetts.
 In reference to the national cam paign, MT. Underwood said: q can not see a possible chance for the de- feat of Wilson. The split in the ranks of the republicans has made it prac- tically impossible for the democrats to lose. Wilson has conducted his cam paign up to the present time in ad- mirable style and he Is impressing the country with his strength of character and his Individuality.

Work of Congress


 Of all the work accomplished by Con most far reaching was that in refer ence to tariff reform.
 This work was not all. however" added Mir Underwood, for we were very busy The passage of the canal bill and the parcels post bill was im- portant legislation, and in reference to good roads we surpassed ourselves by creating commission and appropriat- ing s500,O0o for the construction and on account of a republican Senate and a republican President we were han dicapped to a great extent in the mat ter of Legislation, but 1t Is a significant fact that we were so determined to do what we could in the matter of re- ducing the cost of living that we sue ceeded in getting several tariff reduc- ton bills through the republican Sen ate and through the House passed one at least over the veto of the chief ex- ecutive."
 In reference to the criticism of MT. Mann, republican minority leader. MT. Underwood had the following to say: 'Ir was perfectly natural for Mann to criti- oize the work of democratic House. We feel, however. that We did do some thing for the good of the common man and that we reduced the expenses of the government even. though it was necessary for us to carry out some of the expensive republican contracts, Is certain. The ap- propriations under the republican session amounted to sl 024. .000.000: under the demo- cratic House, sl0l9,000,o00. However. It was to be expected that Mann would criticize. All republicans have criticized and will ever criticize.
