uNDERwooD-THE DEMOCRAT

From the Florida Times Union.
 Discussing the presidential campaign the Washington Herald says:
 Have a care. Woodrow Wilson. that you do not offend your southern support CTS by the covert attacks of your press To call the House floor leader a ''minion of Wall street" is an insult to Alabama, whose intense loyalty to it's favorite son threatens to become one of the pivotal factors in the coming Baltimore conven- tion''
 It is not only an insult to Alabama but an insult also to all democratic voters. II is wilful. malicious falsehood. The man who makes the statement knows 1t is false and he insults the people by think ing they do not know it is false. MT. Underwood is the democratic leader of the House. Did the democrats capture the House only to turn it over to Wall street? This absurd falsehood is a re. flection on the patriotism and the honesty of the democratic. majority in Congress.
 As matter of fact, MT. Underwood is doing more that is displeasing to that class often referred to as "the interests than all the other democratic candidates put together. Against talk he can put works The bills he has introduced in Congress. if they pass the Senate and are signed by the President, will save to the people nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars a year-moneystha Is being taken f,,.1 | l.. leg &l.n protected interests
 MT Underwood has money invested in the manufacture of pig iron. The bill he introduced in Congress. instead of im- posing higher duties on iron and steel than or other products, made the average of the iron ard steel schedule lower than the average of any other. He did not take this position as a bid for the presi- dency. He has always been an opponent of protection. he has always favored a heavy reduction in the duties on iron and steel as well as on other protected prod- ucts. MT. Underwood has done more to reduce the tariff and done more to insure democratic victory next year than all the other candidates combined.
 
 who first uttered this stupid falsehood and every man who repeats 1t insults their Intelligence.
 MT. Underwood has made no bids for the presidency. He did not accept the initia- tive, referendum and recall under tho i'm pression that democrats were populists, He did not vote for the Sherwood pension bill In the hope of getting the old soldier vote. He did not keep his hands of. the sugar tariff in consideration of the dele ration Louisiana would have given him if he had done so He has not neglected any of his duties to the people nor has Inc traded any of the peoples rights for his own advapcement. In his conduct as rep resentative and in his splendid leadership of the democrats of the House he has done his duty so faithfully and so well that none of his opponents will dare take issue with him on anything he has done

 T am not much of a political prophet but if the colonel does not stampede the convention I will be very much surprised. There is some talk of a dark horse, but have an idea that Roosevelt will be nominated on the second ballot. Tatt delegates will flop over by the score. Can Teddy be elected? That remains to be seen. If the democrats put out a strong ticket the next President will prob ably be a democrat. I have always voted the republican ticlxek with one exception. In 1892 I voted for Cleveland and I was then living in New York, where every vote for the democratic ticket told.
