REPORTS COMING IN
Alabama Man Now Recognized
AS Leading Candidate For
Presidential Nomination
EXPECT BIG MAJORITY
Bryan's Opposition Regards Un-
derwood Analysed And Ex-
posed BY N, Y. Newspapers
EXPECT BIG MAJORITY

ATLANTA, March 6.-Reports
received at Georgia Headquarters
from every section of the country
furnish abundant proof that Sena-
tor Oscar w. Underwood, Of Ala
bama, is now the leading candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination. Many prominent Geor-
gians, who were at first doubtful
as to the success of Senator Under
woods campaign, are now frank in,
the statement that not only is he
the strongest candidate of his party
m the Nation, but that they believe
he will receive the nomination at
New York, and that if nominated
his election is, practically assured
The following significant state
merit is taken from the New York
World OF last Sunday.
"The crusade in Alabama of Col.
Bryan against Oscar Underwood is
perhaps the best evidence Of the
latter's pre-eminence in the race
for the nomination. Bryan wastes
little time on any but the one he
thinks has the best chance for the
prize. When it looked as though
William Gibbs McAdoo would come
to the convention with four or five
hundred votes, Bryan plunged for
Gov. Neff of Texas, the idea being
that to deprive McAdoo of the forty
Texas votes for a favorite' son was
the best way of stopping him in the
South.
"Neff did not mean anything fur
Their east, So Bryan took up Dr..
Murphree in Florida where McAdoo
also had a chance. After the oil
disclosures no further missionary
work was necessary as against Nc
Adoo. Doheny's million dollar
lawyer was a good enough slogan
to take care of the ex-Secretary CT
the Treasury, so Bryan went ON tie
trail against the next in line, 1t
was fairly evident the elimination
of McAdoo restored most of the
Southern delegations to the Under
wood column, hence the voodoo
work in Alabama, Underwood's own
state"
AS to the situation in Georgia.
Underwood leaders express the be-
lief that Senator Underwood's ma
jority will probably exceed that CIV
en- him in the campaign of 1912.
The practical collapse of the Nc
Adoo Campaign over the country is
having disastrous effect upon his
chances in Georgia. Underwood
men from every section of the state
express the utmost confident as
to the result on March 10th.

SENATE FINANCE BODY
PUSHES TAX CUT BILL
Passage OF Joint Resolution
Might Avoid Necessity Of
Making Refunds

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The
Senate finance committee decided
today to seek Immediate enactmnt
of a joint resolution providing for
a rs per cent reduction in person.
al income taxes payable this year
so that it may apply on the install
ments due March Is.
The provision for such reduction
was approved by the House in the
revenue bill. Enactment of that
measure, however, is not possible
before March Is, and leaders hope
by the passage of a joint resolution
to avoid the necessity of making re-
funds on the first installments
which now would have to be pa 4

.DAUGHERTY CASE IS
AGAIN CONSIDERED
Developments Indicate Attor-
ney General May Retire
From Cabinet At Once

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The
question of Attorney General Daugh-
erty's immediate retirement from
the cabipet is again receiving seri-
Ious consideration.
The situation has suddenly de-
veloped to point where the selec-
ton of a successor has been taken
under advisement at the White
House.
Those under consideration for the
post include william S. Kenyon,
former senator from Iowa and now
judge of the Eighth United States
Circuit Court of Appeals; Frank
IS. Dietrich, federal district judge
of Idaho, and Curtis D. Wilbur,
chief justice of the Supreme Court
of California.
Steps have been taken Indirect
ly to ascertain from each of the
three men named whether he would
accept if appointed, but no definite
selection has been made.
One of the factors which have
again brought the question to an
acute issue was the situation re.
sulting from disclosures in the re-
cent Veterans Bureau grand jury
investigation at Chicago. Some of
these disclosures, according to in
formation laid before President
Coolidge, relate to matters over
which Mr.. Daugherty has had at
least technical jurisdiction as head
OF the Department of Justice, and
IN which persons close to him were
said to be involved.
During the past few days devel-
opments in the oil scandal have led
the trail of that investigation, too,
into the same department.

FEDERAL TAX BILL
MUST BE REMODELED

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The

House will have to be remodeled
to provide $1oO,OOO,OOO more rev
enue, Chairman Smoot of the Sen
ate finance committee, announced
last night on the eve of consider
alton Of the measure by that com
mittee.
Basing his calculations on esti-
mates reported this week by The
Treasury Department that the
House bill would cut off $446,000,-
900 in revenue in the calendar year
1925. Mr.. Smoot said this would
fail by 500, 100000 to provide
funds for the working expenses Of
the Government alone exclusive
of soldier bonus bill or other pend
ing extra appropriation measures.
Mr.. Smoot declared that undoub-
teddy some of the tax rates would
lave to be changed to meet this
expected deficit, but expressed no
opinion as to what taxes would be
affected pending. consideration OF
the bill by the Senate committee.
The principal tax reductions made
by the House were in the jerson i
income rates., the miscellaneous or
excise taxes and a special deduction
of rs per cent on earned incomes.
