THE TAN TO WIN

The Mobile Register declares; that
the relief of ninety millions of people
from tax extortion is the issue, and the
issue is personi6ed 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-
pie? What more fitting that the cam
didate should be Mr.. Underwood, stand
ing for tariff reduction as against Mr..
Taft standing in defense of present tariff
laws? 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 opponents
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 q
Southern Democrat n the White louise.

UNDERWOOD OVER AGAIN

The rapid rise of Oscar w. Under
wood in the discussion of Presidential
possibilities is full of significance, and
may we'll cause CONSERVATION in the
Wilson, Clark and Harmon camps. AS
a distinctive Southerner, his boom espe-
cially is a menace to Wilson, who ap-
pealed 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-The Troy Press, New York,

That Representative Oscar w. I'm
derwood is rapidly crowding to the wall
all other aspirants for the Democratic
presidential nomination, is the informa-
ton 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

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 a 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 50-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 leaderless.
Bravo, Oscar Underwood! 1t is a.
bright day for Democrats when they are
fortunate to find and quick to acclaim
such leader-Louisville Conrier-Jonr-

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 ses-
sion. His task then called for a calm
vision and a single purpose. Had he
been a spellbinder and a 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 go
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.-The WaSIiagton Sunday Star,

UNDERWOOD'S RISE NO
SURPRISE TO THOSE
WHO KNOW Hit

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 well as his
tact, have all convinced his constituents
that he was a man of force and achieve
ment long before he became Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee with
a tremendous task to perform.-Bn-
nsiHgham Ledger, 1912.

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,
however, and will be better known be-
fore the convention meets or the States
elect delegates. Taking it for granted
that he will conduct the tariff fight as
we'll during the regular session as dur
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 we'll in hand as Mr.. Under
wood had during the last session.-The

policy of the fathers; it built up our
merchant marine from point where
it was carrying IL 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 a policy of doubtful cohstitu-
tionality; it is policy that has been
tried and proven effective. 1t is poll
icy by which we can restore the Amer

policy that will enable us to build up

pie. 1t is a policy that will enable US
to find foreign markets for our surplus

UNDERWOOD AS A CANDIDATE

In Mr.. Underwoods candidacy the
South for the first time in 90 years
comes forward with man with a rea-
soma man with valid claim on
Democracy for signal recognition. If
unselfsh devotion, high performance,
Nationwide breadth of view, and rare
qualities for leadership entitle man
to sympathy and support in his aspir-
ations, the nomination of Mr.. Under
wood would be a testimonial logically
bestowed.
The Southern Democracy never
wants, in or out of Congress, for
powerful champions of party politics,
men who come in for honorable men
ton when the Presidential year rolls
round, but in Mr.. Underwood's case
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1912-04-12

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
excelled for skill, force and definite d.
rection. 1t is respectful hearing from
all over the country which Senator
Bankhead of the same State will have
in naming him for the Democratic nom
nation.
Has the time come when it is expe
dent for the Democracy to nominate
Southerner living in the South for the
presidency? 1t 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

day, whether that leader was Joseph w.
