Here Is Mr.. Underwood's answer:
II have heard the birds of i'll omen
croaking for many months. but knew
the reply was coming from the American
people. There will be such a revival of
business prosperity next year that will
put these croakers to shame. We came
into power at a disturbed time brought
OH by the mismanagement by previous
political affairs. 1t is perfectly natural
that business should halt to see what
the Democrats would do. We have made
more legislation than ever was made by
a new party before. Republicans pledged
themselves to do this but their promises
were only redeemed in a political bank
rupt court.
Better Times Ahead.
1--WE have accomplished results that our
opponents struggled for years to accom-
plish. As far as can tell. every indica-
ton points today not only to good times,
but to unusually prosperous times within
the next year.
'Our Republican friends may not ac-
cept Democratic authority, but there are
certain great merchants in this country
whose standing in the Republican party
as politicians and whose standing before
the country as business men cannot be
questioned.
"This country. OF necessity. will pass
through eras OF great prosperity, and will
pass through eras of industrial depres-
sion. The industrial depression from
which We are emerging today is not a
matter that was born within the admin
istration of Woodrow Wilson. The indus
trial depression from which We have
been suffering has existed for more than
a year.

Vera Cruz, July 3.-The sailing of

French cruiser Condo, presumably for

ton here that Huerta's family, and
perhaps he himself, would be afforded

ready to cut the railroad line to the
coast If Huerta leaves the capital.
Rapid action by marines and blue
jackets from American, British,
French and German warships in the
harbor here vas freely predicted on
Wednesday in case of the collapse of
Huertais power in Mexico City, which
seemed imminent should come in such
a way as to endanger the lives of for

Music soothes Racers.

Cincinnati. - Bill Perkins, noted
horse trainer, is q believer in
music to soothe ervou racers.
Perkins is now at the Latonia, KY,
race course and has installed a phon-
ograph in his stable. The trainer
says there is nothing like music to
quiet a nervous horse just before the
nag goes to the post or returns from
a hard contest. He says the animals
seem to prefer ragtime. Perkins idea
in soothing strained nerves with music
may mean an evolution of training
methods. Already his innovation is
working wonders with the horses un-
der his care.
