OSCAR UNDERWOOD

The appearance of Oscar Underwood
here last night, in advocacy of the Dem
ocratic principles he has done SO much
to advance, was an event not only highly
gratifying TO his party associates in
Louisville, but of exceptional interest to
the community in general.
1t is not often that man returns to
the scenes of his youth to speak with
such authority, from so commanding a
position, won on his own merit 1t has
not been so long as the years ago-he is
not yet 5O-since Oscar Underwood was
a schoolboy here; he comes back now
the recognized and applaudcd leader of
his party on the floor of the National
House of Representatives, the head of
the great committee which shapes the
fiscal legislation of the country; new
chieftain of Democracy who has arisen
at crisis when the old party seemed
all but leadcrless.
Bravo, Oscar Underwood 1t is a
bright day for Democrats when they are
fortunate to find and quick to acclaim
such leader.-Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal reprinted in Age-Hcrald, Birming-
ham, Ala, October Is, 1911.

WIDE APPEAL OF UNDERWooD's CANDIDACY

That Representative Oscar w. Un-
derwood is rapidly crowding to the wall
all other aspirants for the Democratic
presidential nomination, is the informa-
tion that comes from sources close to
the Alabama leader to-day. In fact, it
is now a subject of open gossip about
the House that New York State is veer-
ing toward the Alabama member and
that Clark, Wilson and Harmon are los
ing ground in the chief pivotal State Of
the Union.
A member of the New York delega-
ton in the House, who is not person
ally an advocate of the candidacy Of
Mr.. Underwood, admitted in confidence
to-day that the trend of sentiment in
New York city and New York State
now favors the Alabama leader. From
Representative Henry ID. Clayton, Of

UNDERWOOD

Every public speech that Oscar W.
Underwood, Democratic leader Of the
House of Representatives, makes brings
him closer to the people as presiden-
tal possibility. What Congressman
Longworth, Republican, said of him
at the dinner of the Pennsylvania So
cicty in New York on Saturday night
is coming to be generally felt by the
public.
mot for many years." said Colonel
Roosevelts son-in-law, "has so forceful
a personality come to the front of his
party as the present leader of the House.
Not in my time, certainly, and not, as |
believe, in modern times, has the Demo
cratic party developed man possessing
in so full degree the qualifications for
real leadership as it has this year in the
person Of Oscar Underwood."-The Jcr-
sey Journal. Jersey City, N. j., Decem-
Der IL, 1911.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1912-04-03
ALABAMA AND
FIR. UNDERWOOD

But the present leader of the House
is not impulsive. In truth, that fact
explains his leadership. He is a man
of calculation. Had he not been, he
could never have piloted his party
through the difficulties Of the extra scs-
sion. His task then called for a calm
vision and a single purpose Had he
been a spellbinder and scatterer he
would have wasted his opportunity.
Were Mr.. Underwood to set his heart
on the White House and maneuver for
a stay under that famous roof he would
play hobs with all the reputation he has
just acquired. His vision would be-
come confused, and everything would 90
by the board. He could not serve two
masters, and his work in the House has
the first and highest claim on his at
tention.
This does not mean that Mr.. Under
woods name will, as the result of his
reply to his House colleagues, disap-
pear from the Presidential speculation.
OF course, it will not. 1t is there to
stay, with the other names now on
many pens and tongues. The matter of
the nominee is in the lap of fate, and
we shall all have to wait for the deci-
sion.-Ihe Washington Sunday Star,
December, 1911.

THE rIAN TO WIN

The Mobile Register declares that
the relief of ninety millions of people
from tax extortion is the issue, and the
issue is personifed in Oscar W. Under
wood. What more fitting, therefore,
asks this paper, than that the man who
is the personi6cation of the issue should
stand before the President who vetoed
the bills drawn by Mr.. Underwood seek
ing to give relief to the American peo-
ple1 What more fitting that the can
didate should be Mr.. Underwood, stand
ing for tariff reduction as against Mr..
Taft standing in defense Of present tariff
laws9 What more fitting for the Demo
cratic party to nominate man who can
win--for this is the time Democracy can
win. Powerful political leaders OF
thought and those Journalistic exponents
of Democracy throughout the country
should take note of Mr.. Underwood
They should investigate; and with party
loyalty frm-with sectional prejudice
eliminated, learn to know the man and
the principles for which he stands. The
Southern press, especially, should rally
with unhesitating vigor to support and
use their influence for the man who has
done more than any living Democrat to
reunite Democracy, and who can, as a
Southern Democrat in the White House,
establish forever reunited country

UNDERWOOD'S RISE NO
SURPRISE TO THOSE
WHO KNOW HIrI

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
utterances 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 we'll as his
tact, have all convinced his constituents
that he was man of force and achieve
ment long before he became Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee with
a tremendous task to perform.-Biy-
mingham Ledger, 1912.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1912-04-03

Alabama, also, comes confirmation Of
the fact that the Underwood boomers
are receiving most encouraging reports
from New York. These reports go so
far as to say that if the South will keep
Representative Underwood's name be-
fore the convention, New York State
may be counted on to fall into line after
the second or third ballot.
If the South can get over the ancient
obsession that Southern man cannot
be nominated for President and il the
South will keep the name of Underwood
before the convention, for few ballots,
there are many wise political observers
in Washington and New York who arc
confident that the New York delegation
will swing into line for Underwood

UNDERWOOD AS A CANDIDATE

If Oscar Underwood, when he was
made Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, had been as we'll known
throughout the country as Champ Clark
or Judson Harmon or Woodrow Wilson
he would have gone into the Democratic
convention far in the lead. He was at
that time, however, little known and
this fact may give to the Speaker part
of the. prestige that Mr.. Underwood
otherwise would have had.
Mr.. Underwood is we'll known now.

fore the convention meets or the States

that he will conduct the tariff fight as
well during the regular session as durL
ing. the extra session, Mr.. Underwood
Will be much stronger at the end of the
regular session than he is now. If we
Judge by results we must conclude that
no Democratic leader has ever had his
forces so well in hand as Mr.. Under
wood had during the last session.-TLe

soma man with valid claim on

unselfish devotion, high performance,
Nationwide breadth of view, and rare

UNDERWOOD OVER AGAIN

The rapid rise of Oscar w. Under
wood in the discussion of Presidential
possibilities is full of significance, and
may well cause CONSERVATION in the
Wilson, Clark and Harmon camps. AS
a distinctive Southerner, his boom espe-
cially is menace to wilson, who 'a ap-
pcalcd strongly to the sentiment of that
section, in which he was born and spent
his early years. In the soundness of
his Democracy, the statesmanlike judg-
ment and moderation he displays in
dealing with the issues of the hour,
Mr.. Underwood has no superior among
his rivals. He avoids indorsing very
questionable issues to which Wilson
committed himself somewhat inconti-
nently.-Ihe Troy Press, New York,

policy of the fathers; it built up Our
merchant marine from point where
it was carrying II per cent of our COM
merce to point where it was carrying
90 per cent of American commerce in
a period of seven years. 1t does not
place additional burdens on the people;
it is not policy of doubtful constitu-
tionality; it is policy that has been
tried and proven effective. 1t is pol
icy by which we can restore the Amer
ican flag to the seas and the American
ships to our commercial trade. 1t is
policy that will enable us to build up
the export trade of the American ,peo-
pie. 1t is a policy that will enab& us
to find foreign markets for our surplus
products in agriculture and manufac-
ture. 1t is a policy that will restore the
balance of commerce as we'll as trade to
our Nation. 1t is policy that will
ultimately overcome the necessity of our
paying foreign balance in gold to
European nations and will bring pros
