Southern Democrat* have hardly ever be?n thought of In connection with the office of presi dent, or even vice president. Tho Democrats from the South have gone lo the national conventions, shouts* d themselves hoarse at some Nortn- orn candidate and then roturned home and every Southern state, al most, has voted the straight ticket. Several times the Southern states about the only ones that re mained faithful to the party. When W. J. Rryan was nominated tho lust time, he got little besides what tho South nave him- :t la generally admitted that the South is going to remain solid Democratic no matter who la nomi nated, aa the South has a problem at Lome which forces the Southern people to remain together. it Is a good sign, however, to see that Southern Democrats are becoming restless under the old or der of thing* and It la a better sign to observe that some of the leading Influences In the North are looking to the South for a conserva tive, safe leader during the present jear, when old populist heresies havo been dug up and are being used again to entrap the voters. For th eflrst time In many years, a Southern leader In congress baa become a national character, so recognized by such authorities as the Review of Review#, the New York Times and many of the other leading papers of the nation. All of thoso papers are paying tributes to iho leadership of Congressman Un derwood, -of Alabama, and they do rot hesitate to say that Underwood '.n the safest man who Is being men- Honed for th 0 ofllc© of president on the Democratic ticket. The South has the opportunity this year of nominating the Demo cratic candidate, and of presenting a man who will have a tremendous following In nil sections of the coun try. He will come as near being elected as any other man who can be named. We believe that he will make a better showing than Bryan has made l n either of his races or than Judge Parker made seven years ago. The quicker the South rallies to one of its own men the aooner will the South receive the recognition that is due her in other sections. Her nabit of subservience ,to the other sections l n national affairs, while she la putting up the majorities, does not win her the inspect which sht ought to have. The Times believes that Congressman Underwood Is .go ing to have a tremendous following at the Baltimore convention. He may not be nominated, and If nomi nated he may not be elected, but Georgia Is going to stand by him. The Democrats of the nation are going to know that the South haa a favorite son to offer and -th^voters of the nation, if he Is elected, are going to know what manner of man the 8outh has put up for the highest office ir. the people’s gift. Measured by every standard, ^ Oscar Under wood Is the strongest character who is mentioned this year* In either ot the political partlea.'
