PLOT IS NIPPED
A Plan to Establish a Military
Dictatorship
In Portugal Is Promptly
SqueIched by Government.

Lisbon. Dec. IA plot to establish
a military dictatorship in Portugal was
discovered last night. Part of the
army was supposed to be implicated.
The cabinet was in session all night.
Troops were kept under arms and to-
day warships in the harbor cleared for
action.
Rumors of an alarming nature spread
all over the city and caused great
anxiety.
1t was reported a large number of
conspirators had assembled in the
campo grand park and were about
to come into the city and seize the
members of the cabinet. 1t was also
asserted they intended to occupy the
government buildings and declare a
new government. The minister of war
acting under the orders of the cabi-
net kept certain troops, whose loyalty
was undoubted under arms. He also
called out the whole of the republi-
can guards and the members of eht
republican secret society known as the
Carbanters, who were all armed. The
minister of marine ordered all the war
vessels in the harbor to take up IA
vorabIe positions and to operate for
eventualties. The night passed, how
ever, without any outbreak

Hebrew race for money.
A little Hebrew got on a train in New

members of several theatrical companies,
and he noticed that, when the conductor
asked them for their tickets, they would

NEW YORK HERALD
SAYS 1T is UNDERWOOD
Sudden Growth of Underwood Boom
Is Latest Development.

Sudden Growth of Underwood Boom
Is Latest Development.
The New York Herald, which has
not missed it's political prophecy in
many years, last Sunday carried a
picture of Oscar w. Underwood on it's
front page, together with the follow
ing write-up:
The chief development in the Dem
Ocratic situation is the sudden growth
of the Underwood boom. His friends
have been extremely active and he
has doomed up as a formidable candi-
date. 1t is believed that the same
influences that would support Cover
nor Harmon of Ohio would also sup
port him. States on which the Under
wood managers already count are
Florida, with II delegates; Alabama,
with "a; North Carolina, with "a. and
Mississippi, with 90 total of so, and
with a good chance of getting the "a
delegates from Virginia.
With the % from Georgia and the
16 from South Carolina and with but
half of Tennessee's vote, Underwood
would enter the convention with near
ly $50 electoral votes from the South
alone. To which must be added the
vote from New York state, where I'm
derwood is formidable candidate,
and from other states where he is
strong.
The Underwood situation is a pc
culiar one. The entire South wants
him, but will not back him as a whole
for the reason that, in their estima
ton, a candidate "of the South"-a
candidate groomed and presented by
| the South-would stand no chance OF
being nominated, but would arouse
the solid opposition of the North and
| the East.
| A man of wealth himself and sur
| rounded by wealthy friends, Repre-
| sentative Underwood is plentifully
financed, and his managers are going
after the nomination well armed. They
have within week been in confer.
ence with Democratic leaders in New
| York state and are much encouraged
| as a result. In fact, some of them
l feel certain that New Yorks ninety
| delegates will be cast for Underwood

ems of the Georgia Underwood cam
paign has issued this statement:
Letters are coming in from all
parts of the state, giving assurance
of active support of Mr.. Underwood
and so far the progress of the cam
paign is, to my mind, without a par
allel in national politics in Georgia

ering the fact that the campaign has
scarcely started
NO one but Underwood need ap
ply in Georgia, for | believe Geor-
gians are not going TO take the
chance of being responsible for the
defeat of the only candidate for pres.
ident from the South since the war.
Suppose We did turn our back on him
and when we got to the national con
vention found he could be nominated
with Geoorgias delegation, and for
lack of our support he was defeated
DO we want to risk it? believe he
can be nominated, but if he could not.
we would lose nothing by sending our
delegation for him. If we saw we
could not nominate him we could nom
nate some other good Democrat.

THREE OUT OF four IN

Col. Ed. L. Wight Says Northerners
Are for Him.


Atlanta, Ga.-Col. Ed. L. Wight
has returned to Atlanta from a trip
to Cuba and Florida with some in
teresting impressions on the presi
dental situation. Colonel Wight is
well known politically and otherwise
in Georgia. He has served seyera
terms in both branches of the legis
lature, was formerly mayor of Alba
ny and commanded the Fourth Geor
gia infantry in the Spanish-American
war.
"At the time that / started South

just commenced to be seriously dis
cussed, and | took occasion to dis
cuss the matter with Floridians an6

one single person who was opposed
to Mr.. Underwoods nomination on

"Since Mr.. Underwoods announce
ment l have met and talked Will
many Floridians and Georgians and
l do not eXaggerate it when l say
that four out of five are for Mr.. I'm
derwood There is not the slightest
doubt in my mind of Mr.. Underwood
carrying the state of Georgia in the
preferential primary by an over
whelming majority.

man for the Democrats to nominate
He represents conservative Democra
cy, and [ believe that Mr. Roosevelt's
entrance into the fight will result in
Democrats all over the land focking
to Mr.. Underwoods support The
radicals are going to be badly beaten
in the coming fight. The real issue is
to be the tariff and neither Mr.. Roose
welt nor the radical Democrats can OBJ
scure that issue. Mr. Underwood is
the greatest champion of a tariff-for
revenue-only the Democratic party
has ever produced.
For years the Democrats in tn
South have sat by and allowed the
Northern Democrats to nominate our
president and it is high time that W
of the South were asserting our
selves. Now is the logical time, when
