'T Expect Good Times Be- fore End of Year." He Says and Champ Clark
 COrroborates Opinion

Washington, December 31.--fSpecial. ] Words of New Years cheer to the na tion in general and to the south In par ticular were coiced tonight to the cor respondent of The Herald by Rep resentative Underwood. who throughout the year just closing has given his en- ergies to deeds in Congress, rather than to verbal activities. Said MT. Under- wood:
 "I notice that the railroad companies of the country have started to buying a large amount of supplies think this indicates general upward trend in business, and I believe that before the end of the year business conditions will be restored to normal.
 T expecS good times before the end of the year."
 And Mir. Underwood spoke with con- viction.
 Conservative, rather than ultra opti- mistic. these words from MT. Under wood carry more weight than aureate predictions from others less guarded in their speech. and also far less we'll in- formed. As the man who framed tho democratic tarin bill he has followed has been obliged to follow the fuctua- tions of business conditions with the closest scrutiny of his sangune view of the future is based on absolute knowledge of the situation ;n the con- Fcrete.
 So, when MT. Underwood says T ex- pect good times before the end of the year." two conclusions may be ac- cepted: First, he sincerely does expect good times; second. his expectations Is founded on positive konwledge-he knows whereof he speaks. In corroborations of Mir. Underwood. Speaker Champ Clark said:
 There is no question on earth but what business Is gettikg better" And in proof thereof he cited the same improvement in railroad condi- tions which had impressed MT. Under wood and likewise predicted trcmen- dous crops of wheat in the coming harvests.
 On the other hand, Representative James R. Mann. the republican leader. said:
 Hope for the best but prepare for the worst"
 But the words of Mir. Underwood will, carry conviction throughout the entire land.
