ANYTHING TO BEAT WILSON

Candidacy of Rep. Underwood
and Senator Martin Backed

Jersey Man
TAMMANY BOSS ACTIVE
BY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, u. c., Feb. g.
Waists efforts TO prevent the nomin-
alton of Woodrow Wilson and to con-
trol the Democratic national conven-
ion are becoming more evident every
day. The plan is TO split the conven-
tion up in every possible way and the
favorite son scheme is strongest play
at this time.
For instance, there Is the candidacy
Of Senator Thomas s. Martin, of Vir-
ginia. The suggestion of Martin as a
presidential candidate is joke which
to be appreciated one must know
Martin. The senate is in convulsions
over IT,
Martin is a standpat reactionary OF
no ability. who cannot even make a
standpat speech. He kas maintained
his control in Virginia by the most
obvious and notorious OF the common
corrupt political practices.
OF course, the purpose or Martin
candidacy is 10 take Virginia out of
the Wilson column. Previously Nlr'
ginia had declared for Woodrow Wit
son, one of her native sons. The peo-
nle OF Virginia want him and there
is a strong public sentiment there as
in other southern states in favor OF q
southerfer as-the paft afty-s-candtdate
and of a man who stands for real
democracy as against reaction.
The Underwood candidacy is OF the
same sort. When il was first an
nounced Underwood himself said thdt
mis- candidacy was merely little per-
sonal compliment to himself and that
he would not permit 1t to stand in the
way of Wilson or any popular ravorite'
Now the Underwood candidacy is q
much more serious matter, Letters
