■ McAdoo, Progressive
vs.
Underwood, Reactionary
Georgia Democrats are called on to nominate their Democratic
presidential choice in the Georgia primary March 19. This election
will be of the highest importance. Its outcome will have a profound
effect upon the success of the party and the welfare of the nation.
We hope every Democratic voter will go to the polls; and vote.
Our choice in Georgia is between Wililam G. McAdoo and Sen
ator Oscar W. Underwood. They arc thc only candidates entered in
our primary. Between these two and these only can we expresa our
preference. Let us examine ami compare the records of these men.
Let us appraise their respective ability and acceptability on thc basis
of what they have done.
McAdoo is a progressive, independent Democrat. He has always
boon the friend of the masses. Throughout his entire public career
he has demonstrated that his sympathies are on the side of the com
mon people, and his support now comes from the great rank and file
of free-thinking, forward-looking Democrats throughout the nation.
Underwood is a reactionary, stand-pat Democrat. His public career
has demonstrated that he is the friend and protector of big business
and special privilege, and the inspiration of his candidacy now comes
from those interests, as it came in 1912.
Underwood’s campaign is remarkably well-financed. Underwood
headquarters have advertised very extensively in the newspapers.
They have sent out drayloads of letters and literature bearing two
cent postage. They have distributed immense quantities of propa
ganda of all kinds, both from Atlanta and from Washington. Their
agents are touring from county to county in automobiles to ‘ boost"
Underwood. Georgians well remember how the state was deluged
with money by Underwood campaign headquarters in 1912. Who sup
plied the finances for Underwood twelve years ago, when hp had no
chance to be nominated ? Who is now supplying the money, When
his chances are even less than they were in 1912? What reservoir
of wealth is at the disposal of Underwood’s backers to keep on run
ning him as a stalking horse?
McAdoo is a national candidate—Underwood is a one-state can
didate.. McAdoo will go into the Democratic convention in New York
in June with a majority of votes on the first ballot, already in
sight and already conceded him by even hia opponents. Underwood
will go into the convention with the delegates of one state—conced
ing him Alabama, where the Underwood ring leaders procured the
passage through the Alabama legislature of an outrageous law pro- i
hbiting any candidate residing outside of Alabama from entering the
presidential primary in that state. As pointed out by William Jen
nings Bryan, what would be the result if every state resorted to such
high-handed methods to protect a favorite son? The Democratic na
tional convention, as Mr. Bryan aptly expressed it, would be turned
into “an auclion block.”
McAdoo Is the friend of the farmer. When the sudden outbreak
of the European War in 1914 paralyzed the cotton market, McAdoo
an Secretary of the Treasury proved his friendship for the farmers
of our section by placing a government loan of millions of dollars iu t
southern banks to make advances to farmers. He proved it by mak
ing a splendid effort to have the government buy ships' l to carry our
cotton overeass, the lack of ships being one of the causes of the
paralyzed market.. That effort wan defeated by a group of reac
tionaries of the type of Underwood in the United States Senate.
McAdoo proved his friendship for the farmers of the south by' instat
ing on twelve Federal Reserve Banks instead of eight, (aB originally
proposed), and in organizing the Banks he located four in the south...
and oner in Georgia. He -proved his friendship for the farmers by
initiating the Federal Farm Loan Banks. He nas recently proved it
by advocating acceptance of Henry Ford’s offer to manufacture cheap
fertilizer at Muscle Shoals for the benefit of the farmers.
Underwood has repeatedly exhibited as little genuine sympathy
for the interests' of the- farmers ns for "the interests of the working
people in general. He recently demonstrated his indifference to the
farmers by opposing Ford's offer, although he well knows that abuu
dant fertilizer at low prim is today the most urgent and desperate ..
reed of southern farmeia fighting a dfcath battle with the boll weevil.*
The difference between McAdoo and Underwood as regards Muscle•.
Shoals is that McAdoo wants Ford to operate this great water power;
for the benefit of the fa-mers, while Underwood wants the Alabama ~
Power Company to operate* it for the benefit of the'Alabama Power'*
Company., . ?*' ‘ ” •“
Me A dob is the friend of the woman and childreij. Ho proved hid*
friendship by supporting woman suffrage, supporting.prohibition amt
supporting thc law.by Congress to emancipate chilureh from indus
trial slavery. (The latter having been held ondonStftuti onu 1 by the*
U. S. Supreme Court, Mc Adoo now advocates, a epuajitational amend-*?
meat prohibiting child labor.) , Underwood exhibited, hia indifference t
to thc welfare of and* chitdTfe!) by Voting suffrage,*,

Georgia wasted her vote on Underwood in 1912 when h** was
little more than a favorite son candidate. What excuse has Georgia
now to repeat that performance when we have a native Georgian
v/ho is the dominant candidate iri the field, admittedly i trongrer than
*ll of his opponents pat together?
McAdoo will sweep the state on March 19. Georgians arc not
going to throw away the opportunity to place a native Georgian in
the White House for thc first time in American history- -an oppor
tunity which may not come aga'n in a hundred yea.s.
