D|X!E: GOVE RNORS BACK UNOE RMOOD
Analysis Of Interviews With Executives Shows Senti-
 ment For AIabamian
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD Washington. D. C., Oct. 92 l


 If the sentiment in southern states is as the sentiment of the governors of these states, the south in the next democratic convention, will back Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Ala bama.
 This fact was demonstrated today following an analysis of interviews with the governors who attended the prohibition conference here Satur- day, and left Sunday and Monday. It was the general observation that Senator Underwood's rival in the south is former Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo.
 Governors who were represented as partial to Senator Underwood were Brandon of Alabama. Peay of Ten nessee. Hardee of Florida, Walker cf Georgia, Mcleod of South Carolina, and Neff of Texas. Trimble of Vir- ginia declared the existence of Un- derwood strength in his state. all though he expressed the thought tha. perhaps Virginian. Senator Glass, would ask for the delegations s support Parker of Louisiana. re- garded as a tentative candidate him self, was not questioned.
 
 Adopt Waiting Policy. -a-..-
 Governors of other southern states, Mississippi North Carolina and Ar kansas, were not in attendance. It was apparent that the governors who were declared to be partial to Senator Underwood did not display an incli- nation to get actively into the fight this early in the game. It was indi- cated that they preferred to await 6aUa1 nnr1antq " bfpb thpV pNnprtpH rather than hurl themselves into a vortex which might result in com plica tions. The same caution is evil dent on the part of southern sen ators and representatives. Some Cf them, as some of the governors, are apparently not unmindfu, of the pos sibility of lightning striking in their immediate environ.
 Governor Brandon of. Alabama, be- fore departing for Montgomery tt day said q found a strong Underwood sentiment throughout the country. learned that the Alabama senatoR has following in the east and the middle west. Naturally, he is strong throughout the south, and it is pos sible that practically all the southern states will support him in the con- vention.
 Sees Underwood Sentiment.
 Southern governors, Hardee Of Florida, Walker of Georgia Mcleod of South Carolina, Peay of Tennessee and others expressed themselves to me as partial tc Underwood. Neff of Texas asked particularly as to Un- derwoods position respecting en- forcement of the prohibition law. and when I explained that although in the beginning the Alabamian op- posed incorporation of what was al a In 'stitutitn that he believed the evil could better be eliminated in an- other fashion, he stood four square for the enforcing of the law and the supremacy of the constitution. Neff announced that such an attitude could not be brought into question by any original supporter of the amendment. The south has an ex- cellent opportunity to express it's power in the democratic party and the country, and I believe that it will not longer hesitate to do so.'

COOPERATIVE MOVEMENTS ARE

Most OF our cooperative movements are In the ex-

OF Labor In New York interested in the Federation
bank. which opens today. We hope to make ii the
clearing house for all the labor banks of the country
which must have New York connection.
Two reasons mpelled labor to the banking field
The first Is that the investigation of the open shop
showed that some banks financing the opposition

The second reason Is that labor wants hank that

that We can run these businesses economically and We

In ai THESE enterprises we feel that We have the

farmers IN America last lost their land thru the
lack Of domestic consumption that can be traced 10 the
fact that labor was not paid sufficiently and work was
not steady enough TO enable labor 10 what ,h
