culture official September cotton report

Leader Underwood, -of the house, in
answering criticisms made by mem
bers during the extra session of con
gress regarding the caucus which
j framed the legislative program of the
1 Democrats, declared Saturday he fa

any way embarrass the party.
Mr. Underwood was a member of
