Underwood’s Chances For
~ the Democratic Nomination
fiO\V THE PEOPLE ELSEWHERE FEEL - ABOUT
THE A SIMON PURE SOUTHERNER.
A studied effort having been
made Ly the political opponents
of Hon, Oscar W. Underwood in
Georgia t¢ create the impression
that Mr. Underwood is “only
running in two or three states.”
a few statements and quota
tions regarding the = chanc
es of Mr. Underwood will not
be amiss. In their effort to de
feat Mr. Underwood in {(Georgia,
Mr. Wilson's managers claim
that Mr. Underwood is not run
ning in but two or three states.
This is false to the core,
CHANGE IN TACTICS,
|
Mr. Underwood's enemies in Geor- |
gia have adopted two plans of cam- |
paign. They first declared that he |
and Speaker Clark and Governor Har- ‘
mon were in‘'a conspiracy; that they |
were tools and stalking horses ol’{
Wall Street and that their campaigns |
were being financed by Wall Street. |
They even went 'so far as to picture
them in cartoons as a hydra-headed
monster. This plan of campaign did |
not appeal to the people and, as Un
derwood grew stronger every day,
they decided that they had better |
change their tack. SSo now they have
begun saying that Underwood has no
chance.
NEW YORK ENDORSES
UNDERWOOD,
Neither party has ever elected a
president without the electoral vote
of the state of New York. While New
York will have an uninstructed dele
gation, the New York state commit
tee has endorsed the record of Lead-l
er Tinderwood in the house, which in- |
dicates very strongly that they favorl
h’s nomination and election.
With four Democratic candidates in]
the field, no one of them will go into |
the national convention with anything !
like a majority of the vote. Under the !
Demoeratic rule it takes two-thirds to |
pnominate. It will be seen, therefore, |
that the nomination will be secured in |
the convention and any candidate has
an opportunity of getting the nmnina-‘l
tion. /
This is the first time in 50 years a‘
Southern Democrat has had such a’
bright chance of getting the nomina- |
tion. Georgia should, therefore, insist |
upon her preference and do all in her |
power to give the nomination to the
son of her daughter state, Alabama.
MORE ABOUT NEW YORK.
The New York state Democratic
cummittee, on the 11th instant, adopt
ed a platform calling for tariff revis
fon and denouncing doctrines of the
recall varie'y. While Mr. Underwood
ts the father of tariff revision, Mr.
Woodrow Wilson has sidetracked that
tssue and is an ardent supporter of
the “recall” doctrine. From all of
which it can be plainly seen that New
York cannot possibly support Wilson.
At the New York meeting Mr. Under
wood’s name was greeted with
shouts, while Mr. Wilson’s name was
not even mentioned.
RHODE ISLAND.
Assurances have been received from
the Democrats of Rhode Island that
its delegation will vote for Under
wood on the very first ballot.
CONNECTICUT.
The New York Herald, which main
tains an independent attitude, says
of Underwood in Connecticut:
“More for sentimental reasons than
otherwise Connecticut Democrats are
on record teday for Governor Bald

WHY DISCUSS THE TARIFF?
“Why should you discuss the tariff until you know whose judgments are going to settle the tariff ques
tion?"—(Extract from Mr. Wilson’s Atlanta speech, April 18, 1312, as reperted by the Atlanta Journal.)
This was the only reference made by Mr. Wilscn in his speech to this burning question, which Mr. Under
wood declares is the main issue—the one great topic for discussion in this campaign.
There is one “issue” that every American citizen understands. It is the tariff. Eeside it all other issues—
the initiative, referendum and recall and all other isms—pale into insignificance. Mr. Underwood is at his
post of duty in Washington working as hard as man can work to get the tariff taken cif the necessities of life.
He drafted the bill which took the tariff o of far:ning implements, boots, shoes, meats, flour, bread, sait and
other necessities of life, and but for Mr. Taft's ve‘o it would be a law today. He has just presented a bill to
take the tariff off of sugar and make it cheaper by 2 cents a pound. He has just presented a bill to re
duce the tariff on woolen goods. And while he is hard at it, in the interest of the people, his opponent ‘is
stumping his sister state against him and proclaiming: “Why discuss the tariff?”
of the nutmeg Democracy’s rank to
day is not Governor Baldwin. Nor is
it Governor Harmon, nor Governor
Wilson, nor Mr, Clark., " The strong
est man with Connecticut Democrats,
in the opinion of impartial observers
who go up and down the state, into
the factories and counting rooms,
through the length and bLreaath of
the farm lands, is Representative Os
car W. Underwood, In every city and
considerable town of the state and
cven out on the farms Republicans
are found who openly deciare that
they would vote for the Alabamian
in preference to either Taft or Ltoose-
V‘Cll.” ¥
SURPRISINGLY STRONG.
Georgians will take the word of a,i
(Georgian as to Mr. L*ndcrwood’si
strength in New ' York. Judge Max
Isaacs of Brunswick, returning a [;wl
days ago from New York, says: “[‘
was much surprized in the feeling ex- |
isting in New York in favor of Con- |
gressman Oscar Underwood for the]
Democratic-nomination. It seems that
the buginess men have followed hisl
record and beiieve he is ilie best manl
to nominate and most of the Dem-;
ocrats [ talked with favor him.” {
NEW ENGLAND STATES.
Hon. Oscar Lapham, prominentl
business man of Providence, R. 1., and
former member of the house of rep
resentatives from the Providence dis
trict, says:
“Mr. Underwood would poll just as
many votes in Rhode Island as any
other man the Democrats could nom
inate. Let the South send Under
wood delegates to the Baltimore con
vention and the North will stand by
her, and November we will show to
the nation that the war is over.
“1 travel a great deal in the North
ern and Kastern states, in Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Con
necticut and New York. Mr. Under
wood has a large following, and they
would be glad of an opportunity to
vote for a Southern man of his a.bil
ity
CALL OF THE NORTH.
“The sentiment for Mr. Under
wood everywhere, and especially in
the North, amounts practicaly to a
call,” said W. L. Percy, secretary of
the Dobbs & Wey company, upon his
veturn to Atlanta yesterday, after a
three weeks’ trip through Cincinnati,
Colun'bus, Buffalo, New York City and
other points. “The Democrats are
strong for him and a great many Re
publicans—! believe a majority—say
they are ready to vote for him.”
MARYLAND.
‘ Mr. Underwocd has opened head
’,quarters also in Maryland, and the
| big Maryland dailies declare that his
| strength in the state is great. He
'received an ovation when he went
1 over to Annapolis by trolley and at
|tended a banquet in his honor two
lweeks ago. He left in the afterneon.

IN THE WEST.
I “If Mr. Underwood is nominated,”

lvote in that state and will poll more

| Gen. Walter C. Newberry, a mem
iber of the Fifty-second congress, of
Chicago, said on April 6, in Wash
!ington:
“} fecel sure that either .Mr. Under
wood or Governor Harmon will be
nominated by the Democrats at Balti

Some of the New York papers have
thic ticket formed: Underwood of Ala
bama and Governor Plaisted of Maine.
Prctty good ticket, don’t you think?
IN OUR SCUTHLAND,
VIRGINIA. Congressman Under
wood’s friends copened headquarters
for him some time ago in Virginia,
and the outlecok is that Mr., Under
wood will get the delegation from
that state.
NORTH CAROLINA.—Mr. Under
wood, the South's candidate, is sure
to carry, the Old North State, for the
presidential nomination. 'This is as
it should be.—Lexington Dispatch.
SOUTH CAROLlNA.—Washington,
D. C., April B—Mr. J. F. Durham, a
promineént newspapcr writer, has re
turned from a trip to South Carolina.
He vigsited Charlesten, Columbia,
Spartanburg, Greenville, Newberry,
Union, Aiken, Summerville, Orange
burg and other points. From his con
versations with hundreds of people.
he says Underwood sentiment pre
dominates - and that Underwood wili
get many delegates from that state.
The News and Courier, at Charles
ton, acks: “What is the matter with
Underwood? Nothing, so far as we
know; nothing as far as anybody
knows, unless it is that Bryan hap
pens.not to like him because he has
not been able to boss him.”
GEORGIA—Hon. W. 'I.. Lane of
Americus, several times a legislator
from Sumter connty, a prom.aent law
yer and a prominent Wilson man,
says: ‘I am free to confess that while
I will support Wilson, the outlook
favors Underwood in this entire sec
tion of the state, and probably
throughout the state.
Mr. ¢ W. Tribble, editor cf the
Calhoun Times, says: “Personally, we
favor Wilson, but fear his nomina
tion will bring defeat to the party. I
belong to the old Cleveland wing of
the party.”
FLORIDA.—The Underwood senti
ment has run roughshed over the Wil
son boom, and it now seems as cer
tain as anything can be that Under
wood will get the entire Ilorida dele
eation.—Pensacola News.
ALABAMA.—Alabama has already
had her primary-and Underwood got
the solid electoral vote of the state,
twenty-two.
MISSISSIPPI. “Mississippi will
give her electoral vote to Oscar W.
Underwood.”—Senator J. K. Varda
man of Mississippi.
LOUISIANA.—Mr. Underwood has
;won the respect and confidence not
only of the Democrats, but of the Re
publicans, and his recent speeches on
the excise bill (the bill to tax the
incomes of the rich) revealed a mas
terly knowledge of the subject and
overwhelmed his opponents.—Shreve
port Journal.
TENNESSEE.—“Senator Johnson
of Alabama returned to Washington
today from Tennessee, where he went
to attend the funeral of the late Sen
ator Taylor. ‘I found the sentiment
in Tennessee developing very rapidly
for Mr. Underwood,’ he said. ‘I talked
with a great many people from many
parts of the state, and the news they
gave me was most encouraging.’”—
Washington (D. C.) Correspondent of
the Birmingham Age-Herald.
IN THE UNITED STATES.
The outlook for Mr. Underwood’s
nomination is fine, according to Sen
ator Bankhead of Alabama, the Ala
bamian’s campaign manager. He
says: -
“I am greatly pleased with the sit
uation as it relates to Mr. Underwood
in territory where there have been
! contests for delegates. We have not
undertaken contests in all the states
-—we have not the money to do so. We
lare not pursuing a grab-atall-catch
]nothing policy. We have every assur
| ance that Underwcod will go to the
| Baltimore convention with no less
!than 175 delegates. We are also sure
;he is the second choice of friends of
{ the others. We confidently expeect
|his nominaticn. There is every rea
ison why Georgia should be enthusi
iastic for Underwood, as I find she
j truly is.”
—Wo-drow Wilson, in his Atlanta Spesech.

After a Jong, hot and dusty
journey by train the New York

Richmond, brushed enough dust

negro, “Drive me to a haberdash

veying his soiled raiment with
disfavor. ‘“Yessuh” said the negre,
“*Giddup.” The old horse started
off at a little stifi-legg-jog trot.
The negro driver seemed to be
thinking deeply. By and by he
pulied the horse to a stop, and
leaned backward to . his fare.
“Scuse me, sur” said he, “‘but
whey do yer want to go?” ‘*Drive
me to the haberdashery,” said the
traveling .man, *Oh, Yessuh,”
said the negro. *“To be sure.”
“(Giddup.”” The hack rattled on
for a little way, then the negro
stopped again, got oft the box and
poked h's head in over the door,
“‘Mebbe, suh I didn’t get dat
name jes’ right,” said he ‘*would

traveling man said for the third
time that he wanted to gotoa

shook his gray wool and looked
grieved. ‘‘Mister lis a ole man,”
said he, ‘“You ken trust me.
