That with the Demo attic party al
rssGy v is Be% chance e of aao %1n
plete power in the National Govern
ment, it is Of interest to learn from
what viewpoint the actual pilot-in-charge
of the Democracy's legislative ship looks
at his task and by what stars he shapes
his course,
Are they fixed and steadfast lights of
the political armament or are they mere
ly those will-o'-the wisps that flame up
as paramount issues for this year,
only TO be forgotten next year? We
get comforting light on this question
from another remark by Mr.. Under
wood:
81 think the big question is the tariff.
Il is the question OF the development OF
the industries and commerce OF the
nation"
From a Democrat that is a remark
well-nigh startling. II exhibits such an
unusual viewpoint 1t is almost like
hearing Andrew Carnegie confess that
there might be such a thing as a right
eous war. Heretofore, our Democratic
statesmen have so uniformly declared
that there was nothing to the tariff
question but stopping robbers" from
robbing.
They never seemed to think OF tariff
as having anything to do with the de-
velopment OF industries and commerce,
Mr.. Underwood does. He says we
should reduce our tariff because witt,
the settlement OF the West we have lief,
behind the days when our home market
absorbed the products of our factories
and left us no surplus for which we
needed to look for market abroad.
He holds that our industrial develop
ment has outstripped the increase in
domestic demand, and that we are pro-
ducing, or at least have the existing ca.
pacity to produce, great surplus Of
manufactures for which we must find
markets in other countries. Therefore
and since I'VE cannot trade with other
people unless we permit them TO trade
with u.s. reduce the tariff to a competi'
tive basis--to the Lowest rates that vii
raise the revenues that the exigeneie'
of the Government require"
One may agree or disagree with tina
theory of tariff making One may disbe
llieve that its effects will be develop
ment of the industries and commerce
the nation" But at least II is a theor.
consistent with itself and protesting
constructive aims and not merely clam
oring for destruction.
And its prepayment is no doctrinairs
fresh from academic halls with his nod
die crammed with Solutions" of every
thing. Neither is he the freak product
of passing popular delight with the latest
novelty among political entertainers. -

session to trouble the waters of party

stated his own tariff position. Said he
The Democratic party stands for a
tariff for revenue The Democratic
party does not stand for free trade,
and do not believe the people will
be misled by the statement OF Mr..
BRYAN"
That Mr.. Underwood is against pro-
lection, and fights il, evinces his cour-
age. He comes from the Birmingham

81 Voice


Oscar Underwood, however, has
more friends than any man mentioned
for the Democratic presidential nomi-
nation. He is more popular throughout
the country with all the Democrats than
the others. lie is almost the unanimous
second choice. II you ask the Harmon
men who they would be for in case
Harmon could not be nominated they
will say Underwood; when you ask the
Wilson men the same question as 10
Wilson, they reply that il Wilson can
rot be the nominee. Underwood is their
choice; ard the same thing is true Of

DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

the story of the bill in the present Con-
gress is the remarkable strength of the
Democratic tactics, and the high quail

UNDERWOOD LOOMS UP

Whether the disclaimer OF Represen-
tative Oscar w. Underwood Of candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination for
president is to stand or not, there is no
question that he is looming large and
seriously, no less at the North than at
the South, as a possibility, if not this
time, then in the near future. Mr..
Underwood is making widespread and
distinctive impression, not only as the
honest, bold, sagacious leader of the
House majority, and not only as a mas
terful Southern Democrat, but as ar
American publicist and statesman

MR.. UNDER WOOD

Meanwhile Mr.. Underwood has a
work to DO in Washington for which he
has revealed a remarkable aptitude. 1t
is not too much to say that the existing
harmony among the Democratic mem
bers Of the House, and the ability they
showed at the last session TO work to-
gether, are largely due to his skillful
leadership. He proposes to resume the
task of tariff revision at the point where
it was interrupted by the Presidents

,,ests men as one who, respecting him
ELF also respects them. He does not
wear the manner of one who expects to

remind YOU of one who fears he may
meet his superior. Never does he pose.
nor seek to transact his dignity at the
expense Of another.-Alfred

The COnServa-
tive South

Not many days ago, it was suggested
in an editorial in this paper that the peo-
pie OF that section of the Union that
tried half a century ago to break up
the Union of the States, might possibly
turn out to be the home of conser-
vatism that would stand as a barrier
against a change in our scheme of gov
crnment that would destroy the fabric
of the Constitution adopted by our wise
forefathers, and ratified by the States
that had fought for and achieved indie
pendence and freedom,
As evidence that such thing may be
among the possibilities a paragraph is
here quoted from a speech made by
Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, of Ala
bama, to the Young Mems Democratic
League of St. Louis;
Some Democrats want to put
the initiative and referendum
plank into the national platform
of the Democratic party, ]
think that would be unwise.
The initiative and referendum
as a local issue is sometimes
successful. But when you at
tempt to apply it to the United
States you destroy the entire
fabric of the Constitution. We
are not true democracy. This
is representative Govern
ment."
As the reader knows, Mr.. Underwood
is the Chairman OF the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Representa-
tives at Washington. But for the fact
that he is a native and lifelong resi-
dent of the South he would stand fine
chance to be made the Democratic can
ddate for President next year Candor
compels the statement that he is as well
qualified for the performance of the du-
ties of the great Office as any one in
his party who has been mentioned ir
Mat connection, and it is not doubted
that il elected he would make safe
