NOT BE! FOOLED
ATTEMPT TO CREATE PREJUDICE
BY LAMB INCIDENT
HAS FAILED.
LAMB WAS NOT NAMED
BY OSCAR UNDERWOOD
Alabamian Had Nothing to Do With
Appointment of Virginian to Head
Committee on Agriculture—A Geor¬
gia Farmer Exposes Methods of
Wilson Managers in Georgia.
Washington, April 4.— (Special.)—
Efforts to prejudice Georgia farmers
against Oscar W. Underwood because
John Lamb, of Virginia, was made
chairman of the house committee on
agriculture, is the meanest kind of
underhand politics.
It is an attempt at deception. It
is founded on a fundamental untruth.
Bringing such an issue into this cam¬
paign is no credit to the individual
responsible, it is all the result of
petty, personal pique, and the whole
truth may yet come out.
Underwood Didn’t Name Lamb.
Oscar Underwood did not name
John Lamb to his present place. The
ways and means committee was re¬
sponsible for that action; just as they
were responsible for making Adam¬
son, of Georgia, chairman of the com¬
mittee on interstate and foreign com¬
merce; Hardwick, of Georgia, chair¬
man of the committee on rules; Bart¬
lett, a member of appropriations;
Roddenbery, of public buildings and
grounds; Tribble, of naval affairs;
Bell, of postoffice and post roads, and
Lee, of agriculture.
Underwood is a wonderful leader,
and his personal influence with the
committee and with the house is
great; but he is not omnipotent.
That is not a human quality.
How Lamb Got Place.
John Lamb has been a member of
the house for sixteen years, and un¬
der the rule of precedent, was enti¬
tled to the position he received. To
set him aside would have been a vio¬
lation of its usual custom and of long
establjghed precedent.
He is a Virginian, commanded Com¬
pany D, Third Virginia cavalry,
through three years of war, and was
several times wounded. He is a
southern Democrat.
Mr. Lamb may have made mis¬
takes; he may have been guilty of er¬
rors of judgment; as he is 72 years
of age, he is sometimes crochety in
temper. But to strike at Underwood
over the head of Lamb is about as
fair as it would be to charge his se¬
lection to Representative Brantley, of
Georgia, or any other member of the
ways and means committee.
Harris Trying to Use Lamb Incidents.
The adoption of the Lamb incident
by William J. Harris in a circular let¬
ter he is sending out was called to the
attention of the Underwood headquar¬
ters here by a Georgia farmer. He
wants to know if this same Under¬
wood is not the man whose name is
attached to the farmers’ free list, and
which passed the house last year, and
would today be a law but for Presi¬
dent Taft’s veto.
This same farmer was evidently
not as dense a “rube” as the Wilson
managers took him to be.
Commenting on the charge that
Woodrow Wilson helped to defeat ex
Senator Smith, “the millionaire poli¬
tical boss,’’ by putting up Martine, of
New Jersey, Mr. Georgia farmer re¬
calls that Senator Smith was former¬
ly an accepted supporter and large
contributor to Governor Wilson’s cam¬
paign.
Georgia Farmers Not Fooled.
The following sentence in Manager
Harris’ letter is marked No. 3 by Mr.
Georgia farmer: “The enemies of
Governor Woodrow Wilson are charg¬
ing him with being against foreign
immigration and urging all foreign¬
ers to vote against him.”
Commenting on this point, he says:
“I haven’t seen them brag on this
before. This ‘argument’ is slipped to
us by mail. It is not being publicly
used. It is whispered in the farm¬
er’s ear.”
Mr. Harris declares that “Wilson
started life a poor Georgia boy, and
his life should be an inspiration to
every boy in Georgia.” The only
trouble about that is Wilson was real¬
ly born in Virginia. He only lived a
very short time in Georgia.
ATLANTA JOURNAL’S
OPINION OF UNDERWOOD
As Expressed Just Before the Cam¬
paign Began.
Congressman Underwood, as House
leader of the Democrats and as Chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit¬
tee, has measured up to the standard
of true statesmanship. He has ren¬
dered incalculable service to the
cause of honest tariff revision, the
great issue of the pending campaign,
and by his splendid poise and mastery
of affairs he has exalted his party’s
name in the minds of thinking Amer¬
icans.— (Atlanta Journal, Jan. 7, 1912)
