Those Democratic newspapers who

moorings by the ware of radicalism
that has In the past sounded the
doom of Democracy's hope at the
polls.
Because his candidacy has been
received with enthusiastic approval
in the North, and Southerners should
be th e last to suggest the Idea'that
a Southern man cannot be President.
Because this Is the psychological
time and Underwood is the logical
man.
Because, if you allow thle chance
to pass. Southerners may not, " for
many years to come, have such an
other chance. Oscar Underwood Is
regarded In every section of the
country as the greatest statesman In
public life today. Because his record
Is clean. No charges have been.it

The Mississippi river Is said to bo
breaking another record this week,
It Is higher than it has ever been be
fore In Memphis and thousands of
teres of land along the river are
being overflowed and ruined. When
the father of waters goes on a ram
page it Is a serious proposition.
With Bryan leading a bolt in the
Democratic party and Roosevelt
leading a similar movement in the
Republican party, the people of this
country will be treated to a situa
tion resembling Orozco’s movements'
la Mexico, though hardly aa much
real dust .would fly.
Alabama's Indorsement of Con
gressman Underwood for the presi
dential nomination means that Mr.
Underwood's name will be the first
presented In the Baltimore conven
tion, since Alabama is the first state
on the roll call.

the people their Ideas of govern
ment, Oscar Underwood Is at his
post of duty putting his Ideas Into
execution. He Is .1 practical, rather
than a theoretical, democrat.
Because his seventeen years' ex-
!>erlenco In the National House and
his Intimate knowledge of the leg
islative branch of the government
pre-eminently qualifies him for the
discharge of the duties of Chief
Executive.
Because Georgia cannot afford to
send a delegation to the national
convention that Is not Instructed
for Uf'erwood, for, should the
num« of Underwood and the*strains
of ''Dixie" dominate the convention,
Georgia would indeed be a shame
faced sister.
Tom Felder, of Macon, threatens
to enter the gubernatorial race,
which causes the suspicion that the

enough to suit those who brought

It Is said now that the coal strike

The articles which Hardy Ulm

have hit the bull’s eye. There was
s panic at Wilson’s headquarters In
Atlanta and the Journal flung two
fits In succession.
Alabama rolled up a splendid v)te
for h«r favorlto son In the prlmarv

LET BRYAN HOLT.
The Atlanta Journal haa used
every conceivable scheme to discred
it Congressman Oscar Underwood, of
Alabama, resorting to cartoons,
charges ot a combination agalnat
Wilson, and It* usually coarse metn-
ode ot attacking ihoie whom It can
not control or who dare to go coun
ter to Its wishes.
To prove that,tho Journal la In
spired by motives of selfishness, rath*
er than by Its oonvlctlons, It Is only
necessary to aay that not long ago
(when Hoke. Smith was mentioned
for tlio place) It was very gfbcb In
fnvnr of a southern ina n for presi
dent, and not long ago (before Un
derwood was mentioned for the pres-
tdency) the Journal paid him the
highest tribute that It could pos
sibly pay a candladto, ns to ability,
character, etc. Its charges about
"combination!" and I" cartoons hav
ing failed to stem the Underwood
tide In Georgia, It now comes with
blg-stlck In the shape of a threat
ened bolt by Col. Bryan In case Un
derwood Is nominated. The Journal's
Washington correspondent, l n hie ef
fort to help otu the cause, sends
that paper thefollowlng:
(BY RALPH SMITH.)
Washington, April 1.—The
New York Times today publish

patch from Its Waanlngton bu
reau to the effect that William
J Bryan will not support Gov
ernor Harmon or Congressman
O-car W. Underwood, In the
event of the nomination ot eith
er at the Baltimore convention.
The Times dispatch Intimates
that In such a contingency Bry

third ticket l n the field.
