WHO SAID UNDERWOOD
NOT A SOOTHERNER?
LET HIM READ MR. UNDERWOOD'S OWN WORDS ON THE SUBJECT.
Atlanta, Oa.—(Special.)—"Certain newspapers In Georgia having made
personal attacks upon Hon. Oscar W. Underwood, Democratic leader of
the House of Representatives and a candidate for President of the I n te
States, In which they stated, among other things, that Mr. Underwoo
"barely missed being a Northerner;’’ that bis father was a Northern sym
pnthlzer during the Civil war, and that he came from a family of Northern
p< ople, I have secured a signed statement from Mr. Underwood hlmse
regarding the se charges,’’ said Hon. G. it. Hutchens, manager of Mr. n
derwood’s campaign yesterday.
"While Mr. Underwood is running as a national candidate and Is o
our minds, the biggest man in the Democratic party and the lead ng
American In tie- country today, the fact that he Is a Southern man Is but
one of the many reasons we advance for voting for him, and I do not
think such ugly, mean spirited and untruthful statements should go un
answered ’’ How untruthful these statements are can be best Judged from
reading Mr. Underwood’s own words, which follow:
Oscar W. Underwood was born In Louisville, Ky. t on the Rth day of
May, ]sfi2. On his paternal side he is descended from a family of law
yers and planters, who came from England and settled In Virginia In 1664.
Ilis grandfather’s grandfather, William Thomas Underwood, was a plan
ter before the Revolutionary war, high sheriff of Ooochland county and
at one time a member of the house of delegates of Virginia. His grand
father s father was John Underwood, a planter and at on ' time high sher
iff of Cooehland county and also a member of the house of delegates. His
grandfathei wa born in Goochland county, and when 10 years old went
to Kentucky with his uncle, Edmund Rogers, and General George Rogers
Clark, who was one of his cousins.
Ills grandfather was Joseph It. Underwood, who was bom In 1790 and
was a lieutenant In one of the companies organized In Kentucky In the
War of 1v 1" He was severely wounded at the battle of Dudleys defeat In
Ohio He afterwards studied law, became a member of the court of ap
peals of Kentucky, was elected to congress as a Whig and afterwards
served n the United States senate as a colleaguo of Henry Clay.
"lie agreed with Mr. Clay In his advocacy of a gradual emancipation of
the slaves and In the early part of the fifties emancipated all his slaves
who desired their freedom on condition that they would go to Liberia to
!iv<' About half of them accepted their freedom under these conditions,
and he, at his own expense, sent them to Liberia, and gave them tho
money to start life. Tho balance of his slaves remained with him until
after tho war. At the outbreak of the war l.e was over seventy years of
age and took no active part In tho hostilities, but his sympathies were on
the side of the Union. Ills son, Kugene Underwood, was horn at Glasgow,
Ky , In ISIS. He practiced law at Howling Green, Ky., In partnership with
lits father and subsequently moved to Nashville, Tenn., and practiced law
then for about ten years. He was a member of the original board of
directors of tho Louisville and Nashville railroad, but Just before the be
ginning of the Civil war moved to Louisville and engaged In the practice
of law lu that city.
"Southern Sympathizer.”
When the Union army first occupied the city of Louisville ho was ar
rested. charged with being a Southern sympathizer, but was subsequently
released, and from that time to the end of the w - ar took no part on either
side of the controversy. Two of his brothers served In the Confederate
army; John C. Underwood, now living In New York, was a major In the
Confederate army, and was engaged on tho Confederate side In the battle
of Shiloh and other battles. Towards tho end of the war he was captured
nod confined In a Northern prison until the close of hostilities. Kugene
Underwood, from the time of the outbreak of the Civil war, aligned him
self with the Democratic party and consistently voted the Democratic
ticket from that time to the time of Ids death. In his youth ho voted the
Whig ticket. Joseph R. Underwood, Oscar W. Underwood’s grandfather,
was a Whig up to the time of the Civil war; after that time he aligned
himself with the Democratic party arid always voted the Democratic
ticket, lie was a member of the national Democratic convention that
nominated Seymour for president. All of Oscar W. Underwood's ances
tors on his paternal side wore Southern people, olther Virginians or Ken
tuckians.
All for Confedsracy.
Underwood's maternal grandfather was Jabez Smith, who was born In
Groton, Conn., and moved to I’etorshurg, Va., when he was a boy eighteen
years of age. He built one of the first cotton mills In the South at Po
tert-burg, and for a number of years was mayor of that city before the
Civil war. lie was always a Democrat and came from a Democratic fam
ily During the Civil war his sympathies were with tho South.
lie died at Petersburg during the slego, at the age of 76. His son and
two of his grandsons served In tho Confederate army; one of his grand
sons being killed during the siege of Petersburg. Oscar Underwood’s ma
ternal grandmother was a Miss Walthall, of an old Virginia family, and a
cousin of tho late Senator Walthall, of Mississippi.
Why They Left South.
When Oscar W. Underwood waa threo years old , In the fall of 1865, his
mother liud a number of hemorrages. Tho doctors, fearing tuberculosis,
luhiM'il his lather to take her to a dry climate, and they moved to St.
Paul, Minn., when it was a frontier country, and there were only ten miles
of railroad In the state. His father lived there until 1875, when he re
turned to Kentucky and brought Oscar W. Underwood hack with him aud
placed him In school In Louisville, where Mb father eestabllshed the family
home Oscar W. Underwood remained there and went to school until
lssl, when he was sent to tho University of Virginia and graduated there
In luw in June, 1884.
In Birmingham.
Shortly after Ills graduation he went to Minnesota and was admitted to
the bar, hut only remained there about two months, from there going to
ltlnnliigham, Ala . to Join Ills brother, William T. Underwood, who was In
business In Birmingham. Oscar W. Underwood was admitted to the bar
In Birmingham, Ala ,on the first day of September, 1884, and practiced
law there until he was elected to congress In 1884. His two sons were
horn In Birmingham, and that city has been his home for nearly twenty
eight years. Ills first wife was Miss Eugenia Massie, whom he married
at Charlottesville, Va.. and who was a member of a Virginia family of
Revolutionary stock. Ills second wife was Miss Bertha Woodward, who
was horn lti Wheeling, W. Va.. her father moving to Birmingham, Ala.,
when she was six or seven years old, and has resided there ever since
that time,

WALL STREET NOT BACKING
UNDERWOOD.
SAYS CHARGE IS DASTARDLY.HEAD OF CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA
Atlanta, Ga -(Special)—"The policy of tho advocates of Professor
Wilson of New Jersey of oudcavoriugto obscure thee real Issues In the
Georgia campaign, by ugly, unworthy and unwarranted attacks on Mr.
Underwood is not endorsed by the thinking people of Georgia and has
disgusted and turned from them many who were Inclined to support their
candidate,' 1 says Manager G. R. Hutchens of the Underwood Campaign.
"1 do not think It Is my place to berate the candidacy of Professor Wil
son or any one else by making personal attacks on them, and I am
going to refrain from doing It regardless of whether our opponents pitch
tlieir campaign on a low plane or not
•‘1 think It Is despicable and reprehensible to make the charges that
have been persistently made by the representatives of Professor Wilson
of New Jersey In the state of Georgia, Co-wtt: That Mr. Underwood Is In a
presidential conspiracy. Is a tool of Wall Street and Is receiving the
money with which hts Georgia campaign Is being financed from that
source Principally because l have not dignified such a dastardly charge
with a denial, they have grown bolder and bolder In making It until now
they are beside themselves.
"It Is an hi suit to the lVmocrats of Georgia to Intimate that Georgia
Democrats are subject to purchase.
"How puerile their effort to make the good people of Georgia believe
that every candidate who is opposed to Professor Wilson of New Jersey Is
in a low browed conspiracy: every candidate who Is opposed to him Is
a stalking horse of Wall Street, and every candidate who Is opposed to
him is having his campaign financed by Wall Street Inasmuch as the
speaker of tho House of Representatives and the Democratic leader of
the house are aspiring to the presidency, these charges constitute an awful
indictment against the Democratic party.”

For Representative:
Georgia— Montgomery County.
To the People of Montgomery County: Du
ring the fifty days that I served you last sum.
mer I carried out every pledge made in my
campaign for /fepresentative. Besides, I was
instrumental in preparing and passing the new
school law, giving an additional hundred
thousand dollars to tiie school children of
Georgia; an extra forty thousand dollars to
the old soldiers and their widows, getting
several old soldiers on the pay roll as pension
ers who had been turned down belore; the
new game law; the new state road law, and
many other very important matters to the
common people of Georgia, whose friend I am.
I secured the enactment of those laws which,
if carried into effect, will save this county five
thousand dollars, or more, every year, I se
cured our new road law giving each district in
the county its own mnnej upon its own roads.
I voted for every prohibition measure tending
to uplitt our people and state. I was on all
occasions on tlie side of tlie poor people, the
laboring people and the oppressed, and did on
ly those things that I thought were for the
best interest of the whole people. My con
duct as your representative is a matter of pub
lic record. With the experience I have had
Xam now in a better positon to render still
greater service to the people of niy native
county. I love the people in this grand coun
ty and am anxious to serve them again in the
Georgia legislature. If I have made mistakes
I wish to correct them. There is no money
to be made as a legislator. All you get is the
consciousness of having served your people
well and faithfully. God has given me some
powers to help my people in the General As
sembly of Georgia and I purpose using what
ever little I may possess for tlie best interest
of the entire people. For the above and other
reasons I feel that I am entitled to re-elec
tion to the General Assembly of Georgia from
Montgomery county under such rules and reg
