Judge Lindsey is Democrat, but he ad-

he told the reporters this morning that the
Judge would be his guest Alexander Coch-

quite a figure up Yonkers way. Frequent
meals of laughter which came from the

WILSON MEN SHOUT TRUST
Say Their Candidate Meets
Opposition Everywhere.
[Frorn The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, March lo.-Adding to the
bitterness Of the feud among the several
candidates for the Democratic Presidential
nomination, the Woodrow Wilson head
quarters here Issued tonight a statement
in which it officially supports the charge
Of Representative Burleson that there is a
Democratic Presidential trust" directed
at the restraint of the political ambitions
Of the New Jersey Governor. The state
ment says:
Despite denials Of any personal col
luslons, the reports from all over the
country Show that the Democratic situa-
tion Is Wilson against the field, and that
by coincidence, to say the least, the held
has been divided territOrially among the
other Democratic candidates. The lines
are being drawn all over the country IN
Georgia IL is Wilson against Underwood;
in Kansas, 1t is Wilson against Clark In
Texas, il is Wilson against Harmon. IN
no state IL il Clark VS.. Harmon, or IN
derwOod vs.. Clark, or Harmon VS.. Uh-
derwood.
The most significant feature in the Dem
ocratic contest is that there is only one
candidate who is running in every state
I'm the Union. In the Republican race Doth
Mr. Taft ard Colonel Roosevelt are max
ing some kind of claims Of strength In
every state, but Of the Democratic as
pirants only Governor Wilson IS the ma
tiOn-wide factor.

UNDERWOOD GUMSHOE BOOM
Sponsors Using Personal Letters
to Aid His Candidacy.
From Tho Tribune Bureau.l

washington, March 1O-While other cam
didates indulge in speechmaking. attend
rallies and maintain active headquarters
here. II was learned to-day that those in
charge of the Underwood Presidential boom
are conducting a ''gumshoo' campaign
which IS political wonder. The Under
wood campaign, it develops, is at present a
movement largely based on personal corre-
spondence. The Alabamian's friends in the
House and Senate are quietly writing let
ters to prominent citizens in the various
states.
What's become OF the Underwood
boom?" member of the House was asked
to-day.
Don't worry: we are 'gumshoeing.
We've got one Of the most effective cam
paigns under way you ever heard Of" was
the reply
The plan is this: With the headquarters
Of other Democratic candidates flooding the
newspaper offices with press notices con-
ccrnng their respective heroes, the Under
wood followers in the Senate and House
are busy debating personal letters to their
constituents. These epistes are not the
ordinary mimeoEraphed boosts
member addresses a personal appeal
TO Voter John Smith. The first few para
graphs set forth I'm detail why Mr.. Smith
should get out and round up Underwood
delegates. In the last paragraph the per-
sonal side OF the letter is developed when
the member asks about the health Of Mr..
Smiths wife, who Is called by name, OF
perhaps makes sollcltOus reference to Mr..
Smiths business, or the growth OF the town
In which he lives One member OF the
House Is known to have sent several hum
drcd letters OF this character to the more
influential citizens in one Of the Southern
states.
There is no secret OF the fact that the
Underwood boomers prefer for the present
this method OF campaigning. The Under
wood headquarters occasionally distributes
literature favorable TO the Alabaman. but
the "gumshoe" work is depended on TO
bring the real results
u was also learned to-day that Mr.. Tn
dcrwood and his supporters here have re-
Gently received some encouraging news
from New York. In fact, Il is said in a

session OF Congress. Leaders OF both par
ties have expressed the view that Congress
was likely to be away from Washington
before the gathering Of the Republicans at
Chicago on June IS.
Il think our tariff revision bills will end
with the woollen schedule which we expect
TO report within ten days" said Mr.. Under
wood to-day There is no use for us TO

Senate is going to do with the bills already
passed and what the President is going to

chemical bill. We will pass a sugar bill
