What's the Answer?

the South mas renamed the VeIl-
table bedrock of Democracy.
Year in and year out the South
has voted straight unbroken
ticket. 1t has given its all to the
party, never demanding any
thing in return.
We get in this life only that
which we demand and keep on
demanding. Every fourth year
the South has sent her delegates
to the national convention of
Democracy to vote for a Demo
crat from some other section
than the South.
This year the opportunity of
having nominated a man of the
South and from the South is
bright. More than that, his
nomination can and will be Sc
cured if the. South will go to
New York with its head up and
shoulders back, demanding that,
win or lose, the nominee this
year shall be a Southern Demo
cYat.
Oscar Underwood was born
in Kentucky. Very early in life
he came to Alabama. for almost
30 years he has represented Ala
bama and the South in the
House and the Senate, much of
that time as the leader of his
party.
AS no other man in the South,
he is equipped to occupy that
highest office in the hands of the
American people. He knows
their needs; he knows their long
suffering; and as head of the
nation he can and will secure for
the South that measure of help
that no other man can or will
secure.
Mr.. McAdoo. it is true, was
. born in Georgia, but he failed
to tarry here long. His life has
largely been spent in the East
and the West. He is as COM
pletely out of touch with the
South and its affairs as a man
can be. Neither Georgia nor
the South is under any obliea-
ton to him.
On the other hand, Oscar
Underwood has been fighting
the South's battles for almost a.
generation. In that time he has
never failed to come up to the
scratch when the good name or
the prosperity of this section was.

House, which law took from
