UNDERWOOD BOON
GAINING STRENGTH,
/. FRIENDS DECLARE
Many Members of Congress
Contend Alabama Man
Has Good Chance.

Folks who go about suspecting that
the movement to have Congressman Os-
car Underwood of Alabama nominated
for President on the Democratic ticket
is a sort of fcrlorn hope affair, are
likely to be rudely awakened when the
Baltimore convention Is held. A strong
undercurrent of talk among Democratic
leaders in the House and Senate in re-
cent weeks Is found, the more II In
sounded, to be extremely favorable to
Underwood. ''..
The Underwood talk is assuming for
midable proportions in spite of the fact
that Speaker Champ Clark latterly has
been making such gains as to compel
everybody to take his candidacy with
the utmost seriousness; in spite Of the
representations of the Harmon leaders
that in the long run the Ohio governor
is going to get the bulk Of the Clark
and in spite of the well-known convic-
ton Of a large share of the Bryan
forces that Underwood is reactionary
and that II nominated he would be de-
serted by hosts Of progressive Demo-
Gratis. . ... .s.
1t Is now settled that Chairman Under
wood Is going into the convention with
own right. He viii have the Alabama,
Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida dele
gates, and parts of the delegations from
North Carolina and Tennessee. The
Kentucky. Arkansas, and Louisiana
delegations will contain a large number
Of uninstructed Underwood men. Mr..
Underwood will go into the convention
with something over 100 delegates, and
when the balloting begins he will be in
a position of advantage.
When for weeks II seemed as II Wood
row Wilson were going into the conven-
ton with a majority of the delegates,
and was likely to sweep the platter, the
fire of all the rest of the opposing can
didates and influences was centered on
him: Now that the Wilson candidacy is
weakened, this fire has to some extent
slackened At the same time, the Champ
Clark candidacy, which has loomed UP
to large proportions, is beginning to
draw assaults. Not all these attacks
are in the open and by the front. A
lot of them are by the flank, and some
of them are subterranean, in the nature
OF mining and sapping operations, de-
signed to weaken the foundations of the
Clark cadidacy.

VANDERWERKEN
TO HAVE CHURCH
WITHIN ONE WEEK
Organization to Be Perfected
at Meeting to Be Held
Next Sunday.

A new church is to be organized next
Sunday by the residents of Wander
werken and Jewels Stations on the line
of the Great Falls and Old Dominion
railway above Clarendon.
This church is the result Of years en-
.deavor upon the part of the religiously
inclined persons of these two little COM
munities, who were without a church.
A year ago they organized the Bible
School for both social and religious
meetings. and members of about twen-
ty-two families met at neighbors' homes
each Sunday. Private houses became
inadequate, and Thomas p. Jewell do
mated a building site to the worshipers.
A house was also donated, and this
will be moved to the new building site
and remodeled. 1t will be known as
the Vanderwerken Neighborhood House.
While the bible classes and religious
meetings will be considered of primary
importance, any movement having for
its object the bettering of conditions In
the community will have a place OF
meeting in the church. Several organ
lied movements, including day school
for children, Boy Scout corps, gymna-
SUM class, choir, and dancing classes
are already to occupy quarters In the
new church.
The officers and committees in charge
are: N. ]. Jewett, chairman executive
committee; H. CrocNer, treasurer; C.
NJ. Rorer, secretary; A. III. Dadman'
superintendent of Sunday school. The
executive committee consists of Messrs
N. ]. Jewett. A. H. Dadman, H. w.
Smith, II. Crocker, J. c. Hunter, A. r
Tracy, c. M. Rorer, F Ellsworth, Mr..
Buckner, and Mr.. Hunter, ST. The
neighborhood clergymen, including Rev
Frank Noble. D. D., of Falls Church.
have been cooperating by giving advice
and speaking at the meetings held at
private homes. The Ladies' Guild, OF
which Mrs. N. J. Jewett Is chairman
will give a supper for the benefit OF
the church Friday, May II.
