Oscar W. Underwood OF Alabama is
unquestionably of presidential size, His
leadership Of the Democratic majority
on the floor of the House has never been
cxceled for skill, force and definite d.
rcc,ion. 1t is a respectful hearing from
all over the country which Senator
Pankhead of the same State will have

nation.
Has the time come when it is expe-
dcnt for the Democracy to nominate a
Southerner living in the South for the
presidency? It has not been thought so
since the civil war 1t has not even
been thought expedient TO give the South
second place on the ticket. The nearest
approach to this was the naming on the

UNDERWOOD AS A CANDIDATE

In Mr.. Underwood's candidacy the
South for the first time in % years
comes forward with man with rea-
soma man with a valid claim on
Democracy for signal recognition. If
unselhsh devotion, high performance,
Nationwide breadth of view, and rare
qualities for leadership entitle man
TO sympathy and support in his aspir-
atoms, the nomination of Mr.. Under
wood would be a testimonial logically
bestowed.

SOUTH ELECTED CLEVELAND

1T was due to the South that Grover
Cleveland was nominated and elected"
SAID Judge Parker. ut was due to the
South that William J. Bryan was twice
nominated, and in like manner the South
was responsible for the nomination of
a New Yorker, who speaks to you now.
| still believe that the South is the Sec
ton OF our country from which a presi-
DENTAL nominee could be chosen who
could quell the voices of all the Demo-
cratic factions and heal all breaches.

there is added a genius for organza-
ton and command not often observable
in party leaders Of his section. For
candor compels good word in
acknowledgment Of what he did in the
way of harmonizing and knitting to-
gether the warning elements of his
party in the House. Not in twenty
years has there been in Democratic
councils a leader who proved success
full in uniting all shades OF opinion and
presenting a solid front on practically
every issue that came TO a vote. For
that reason, if for no other, Mr.. I'm
derwood's availability would seem to
merit careful consideration at the
hands Of the Democratic party,-Wash-

He sat back there quietly in Congress

Gratis carried the House, and from sheer
merit and nothing else the quiet man
from Alabama was made floor leader
and put in charge of the par,ys tariff

UNDERWOOD'S RISE NO
SURPRISE TO THOSE
WHO KNOW Hill

For years Oscar Underwood has been
recognized in his district as man of
marked ability. His broad knowledge
of the tariff displayed time and again
on the floor of Congress and in public
utierances on the stump; his far-reach-
ing insight into large public questions
under consideration in the national law
making body; his skill in debate; his
complete mastery Of himself in times
Of political turbulence on the floor Of
Congress; his judgment as well as his
tact, have all convinced his constituents
that he was a man Of force and achieve

of the Ways and Means Committee with

1.-THE destiny of the American nation,
which I think is the most wonderful in
the whole history Of the world, is per-
fectly safe in the hands of such men
as your Underwood, 1t is a pity that
we cannot have more OF his kind in

eminent men that the South has pro-
duced, and | look with vast satisfaction
upon the plans Of his Alabama friends
to give him their unanimous indorse-
ment for that high office-the presi-
