UNDERWOOD TELLS
 ROTARIANS ABOUT
 COX AND HARDING
Worked Beside Both for Years and Found Them to Be Men of Worth
 and Leadership

Senator Oscar w. Underwood, in a brief talk before the Rotray Club yes terday afternoon. gave a sketch of the characters of both Governor James Cox, the democratic nominee. and Senator Warren G. Harding, the republican nomi- nee for President.
 "The business men of the country have nothing to fear in the election of either as each is a man of ability, with the
 determination to maintain order said Senator Underwood II have known Jim
 Cox for twenty five years, while 1 have
 known Harding ever since l have been in the Senate When l first went to
 the Senate and was shown to the seats for new senators a man came np be-
 side me and told me he, too, was new
 senator coming from Ohio, and wanted to pair with Alabama. At that tune
 the senator from Ohio and the senator
 from Alabama formed standing par
 for it is customary in the Senate Tor
 republican and democratic senators 10
 become pairs.
 "Hardng is a splendid man and man
 of great ability, with determination and
 character, and if chosen President l am
 confident he will make a splendid leader.
 "Cox served in the House of Repre- sentatives with me for ten years and IS
 brilliant man, a man of courage ana a man who stands for high ideals lie is a strong man and man or apllity and determination He is capable or handling the big job if elected Presi- dent"
 Senator Underwood told many inter- esting things about his association with both presidential candidates, whom he knows intimately.
 J. Mercer Barnett, newly elected presi- dent of International Kiwanis, was in troduced to the club and received cor dial welcome. He thanked Rotarians for the message sent to the convention in his behalf and assured them he ap- preciated their support and interest. Brief reports on the international Ro- tary convention, held in Atlantic City, were made by LeGrande Wilson, Clar-
 ence Lloyd and Wallace Caldwell but judging from the report made by each, | they had gotten together and all told | the same story regarding the convention | However, they had nothing to say re- garding the way they spent the days l there after the convention was over and one Rotarian remarked this was | probably best unsaid.
 | Reports made at this time were so dry that it was stated unless some addition. | al data was suppieu hotdrlahs "o"' never want to go to another convention not even to the beach.
 | c. R. Matthews made report Of tht Jewish relief campaign and urged mem bers of the Rotary Club to get behint | this work and complete their territory. | President Percy Woodall presided ant | when he introduced the guests of honor Senator Underwood and Mercer Barnett every man stood up.
 | AS next Wednesday is Rainbow Day l the reunion of Rainbow veterans being | in session here, there will be no meet | ing of the Rotary Club.

More than $G00 was received in smaI contributions at local headquarters of th, Jewish war relief campaign, i0S Mort! Twentieth street, yesterday, showing tha

Governor Kilby left for the San Francisco convention Saturday, June 1s. The twenty days are. therefore, up July 10. When Governor Kilby left he stated that it was probable he could not get back in the twenty day limit and advices from San Francisco Tues day night before the Alabama party would require probably about twelve days. Governor Miller will. therefore. probably act as governor until some time between July 20 and August 1. Governor Miller was in Birmingham yesterday and when asked about his plans said:
 q understand that the governor will not return to the state within the constitutional twenty days and I shall, therefore, assume the du-
 ties on Saturday. My present fn- tention, however, is not to go to Montgomery until Tuesday of next week. | am scheduled to take part in the welcoming ceremonies to
 the Rainbow division boys on MOn-
 day in Birmingham and will not
 go to the capitol until the fol-
 lowing morning unless some spe-
 cial need arises for my presence
 therc."
 The fact that the Birmingham man will become acting governor for two or three weeks will bring up renewed gossip coupling his name with the next race for the governorship. It was fair ly well understood during the legisla- tive sessions that Lieutenant Governor Miller would be candidate for gov ernor in the next primary, and while he has never authorized any formal announcement to this effect, it is still regarded as highly probable that he will be one of the formidable con- tenders in the campaign of 1922.
 In fact it is understood that num- ber of his friends in all parts of the state have been quietly letting it be known that the lieutenant governor would probably seek promotion at the hands of the party in the state. and asking others not to commit them selves on the governorship without

RECEIVES OFFICIAL NOTICE
 Montgomery July 7.-Lieut. Gov. Nathan l.. Miller, although nominal- ly acting governor from midnight Friday, will not officially begin his du- ties until Tuesday taking up responsi- bilities which have not come to a lieu tenant governor in ten years. Governor Miller received official notice from the executive department Wednesday that Governor Kilby will have been out . the state twenty days at midnight Frl- day, but stated that his engagements in Birmingham would prevent his coming to Montgomery until Tuesday morning.
 Governor Miller will find no pressing duties when he arrives, as Governor Kilby had performed all duties up to the time he left. There are no impor- tant positions vacant and unless some thing unforeseen occurs the acting gov ernor will be confronted only with rou- tine problems.
 One of those routine problems will be to determine whether Edgar Caldwell. negro soldier, shall be put to death at Annlston Friday. July 30 for the murder of Cecil Linton, street car conductor. An appeal for executive clemency is be- ling prepared and probably will come before the acting governor. Caldwell s conviction was affirmed by the Alabama supreme court and the supreme court of the United States declined to interfere with the case.
 w. A. Darden. secretary to Governor Kilby today said he did not expect the governor to return to the state until the latter part of July. He will return from San Francisco by way of the Canadian Rockies and will stop in Chicago to visit his daughter. He may go to the east for a week before returning to the state.
 Governor Kilby expressed the opinion often that the lieutenant governor should divide the responsibility with the gov ernor and that he would feel as confi- dent of the management in the hands of Lieutenant Governor Miller while out of Alabama as he would of his own ad- ministration of the duties imposed on the chief executive
 While discharging the duties of acting governor Governor Miller will receive the same salary that is drawn by the governor.
