Followers of George Washington Fay Tor, who are also followers of Oscar W. Underwood, protested yesterday in re- gard to what they charge is an attempt by followers of Oscar l.. Gray, who op- poses MT. Taylor for Congress, to align MT. Gray with MT. Underwood.
 Forney Johnston. Underwood campaign manager, had not previously heard of the report. He deeply regrets that there should be reason for the report. He wired back that the Underwood commit tee had made agreements, or had under standings with no candidate for any of- flee. He stated that efforts of anyone to ride into office on MT. Underwood S coattails would be construed as acts of hostility to MT. Underwood.
 T don't know whether the reports are true or not" said MT. Johnston Mir Gray and his followers and Mir Taylor and his followers are supporters of Mr Underwood. We regret it greatly if either volve us in their differences. Mir Un. ate without consideration of any other race or any other candidate He has nc connections and will make none.
 There have come reports from various sections that certain candidates are run ming as Underwood candidates. This proves, of course that everywhere MT Underwood is strong. Nevertheless, we are determined that our silence shall not be taken as token of approval of these movements.
