the Beaumont Enterprise, quoting from
the we'll known Washington, d. c., re-
publican authority, the Washington Post,
demonstrates in what high esteem our
fellow citizen, Hon. Oscar Underwood.
is held both in Texas and the east. That
his high ability is needed in the Senate
seems to me assurance to all Alabamians
that they should support him for the SEN
atorship.
..Representative Clayton of Alabama
has shown rare good taste in announcing
that he will not run against Chairman
.underwoo for the vacancy in the Sem
ate,' is the Washington Posts opinion.
'"The issue which has been raised in Ala
bama is of more than local significance.
If ever a man deserved recognition at
the hands of his party, that man is Mr.
Underwood, He has done what few other
men have been able to do before him
maintained a united party in spite of
many obstacles" 4s.
The Post considers the charges made
against Mr.. Underwood by his opponents
in Alabama are scarcely worthy of a
clean political fight ''He has never de-
to His campaign, but it Is common knowi-
edge that Mr.. Underwood did not even
krow that Mr.. Ryan had contributed
until long after victory perched on wood
row Wilson's banner at Baltimore
Had it not been for the congressional
Investigation into campaign contributions,
he would never have known that Mr..
Ryan had aided his campaign. For years
Mr.. Ryan has been a heavy contributor
to democratic campaigns, and has never
asked any favors in return 1t is wholely
likely that the issue will act as a boomer
ang upon the man who raises it. The
record of Mr.. Underwood in the House
has been one of the cleanest made by
any man who ever attained leadership
in Congress. President Wilson has shown
repeatedly that he respects Mr.. Under
wood as one of the ablest and most con-
scientious leaders of the democratic
party. and in the making of the tariff the
chairman Of the ways and means COM
nittee has sacrificed his own interests
to aid his party
'The experience and qualities of leader
ship which Mr.. Underwood has displayed
are needed in the Senate. His talents
are required by the nation in broader

MRS. J. w. DEAN
IN RECITAL.

The regular meeting of the Music

Thursday morning at 1920. On this oc-
casion the club presented in recital
Mrs. James Wallace Dean, who has but
recently moved to Birmingham from
New York.
The Music Study and Alabama are to
be. congratulated upon the acquisition
of so finished an artist. Mrs. Dean spent
three years in Paris in study, as her
excellent rendition of both French and

unusually true Interpretation of q the

her audience and held it's sympathetic
attention throughout Mrs. Laura Jack

The programme which follows en-
braces numbers requiring unusual YER

these was exceptional:

Senate his ability will have full scope"
1T may be noted that Representative
Eobson's attack has strengthened, rather
than lessened. the force of Mr.. Under
woods claim to this honor at the hands
of Alabamans-for it is considered gen.
timely claim in Underwood's state. The
invective heaped by Iobson in the course
of his accusations assuredly has "boom-
eranged."
1t also makes plain that the matter

LETTERS TO EDITOR
View of Texas Man

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Such action as one of your states con-
gressmen displayed in the halls of Con-
gress one day last week is something un-
precedented in the history of that body,
and certainly will not be sanctioned by
the good people of Alabama when the
opportunity offers at the election for SEN
ator The idea of any member of Con-
gress bringing up his candidacy for Of
flee in that body when he well knows that
it is to the people he should appeal to
within his state.
But nothing but praise should be the
approval of the manly action of that hon
orable body for the grand manner in
which they recognized the labor of that
grand statesman, the Hon. Oscar w. I'm
derwood, for the assistance he gave our
worthy President in passing the tariff
bill. What a comparison to the other
man who was in his own state election
eering for office. Surely, good, old Ala
bama will not forget such work, and its
people will go to the polls on election day
and vote for Oscar w. Underwood. 1t is
the hope of his many friends In grand old
