NEW YORK SOLID
FOR UNDERWOOD
Varner Says Northern Democrats
Want Him For President.
BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE.
No Pr.judic, In th North Against ths
Nomination of a touthornor, as
Shown by Justice White's Elevation
to tho Supromo Court of the United
it.t...
"New York ie practically solid for
nepresentntlve Underwood for the
Democratic nomination for the presi
dency, nud If the south will show the
north that a southern niaa should be
nominated there is little doubt to my
mind that the Empire Stats will send
an Underwood delegation to Balti
more," sold II. B. Varner of Isling
ton, N. C, at the Itulelgb yesterday.
Mr. Varner hag jnst returned from a
business trip to New Yorfc. where he
talked with a number of prominent
people wbo are hi a position to know
the sentluieot In that section of the
country.
"While la the north I talked with
men from New York, Maisachusetts,
Vermont and New Hampshire," sold
Mr. Varner. "Underwood (j) conceded
by all to be the best qualbVd man of
any of the candidates so far mentioned.
Northern uiea do not raise th question
that a southern inau cannot be nom
inated and elected to the presidency.
Chief Justice White of the United
States supreme court Is not only a
southern uinii. but served as a Confed
erate soldier. TIiIh to my uilnd is con
clusive evidence that no one questions
the ability and fitness of the southern
man for tne hlgU office of president of
the United States."
Mr. Varner Is very much pleased with
the situation In North Carolina. He
states that he Is In receipt of hundreds
of letters daily from men pledging their
support to Mr. Underwood. He says
that nil the other candidates hare
friends In the state, but the large ma
jority of them believe Mr. Underwood
is the better man and would have a
lietter chance of election than nny oth
er candidate now In the field. -Washington
Post.
UNDERWOOD BRIEFS.
Mr. Underwood may not get the
Democratic nomination for president,
but there Is no denying the fact that
he la making easy sailing for the man
who does, nis leadership during the
present session of congress has demon
strated his HOicks to hold any office
within the gift of the people. Laurel
Argus.
If the thinking men of this country,
the middle class, who make up the
great majority, will stop to think they
will come to the conclusion that Oscar
Underwood more nearly represents
their beliefs than nny man who Is be
fore the ieople nt this time ns a presl
dentlal candidate.-Kariulugtnn Valley
(Conn.) Ileruld.
Oscar Underwood, who Is being
very prominently mentioned for the
Democratic nomination for the presi
dency, declares, "If I could aid In
writing on the statute books laws that
would equalize the. burden of taxation,
make the wealth of this country carry
Its fair share of the taxes to support
our government and lift from the
backs of the masses of the people the
Inequitable load of taxes they are com
pelled to carry, due to the fact that
our taxes are levied on consumption
and WH on wealth, I should accom
plish a vast deal of good for the
American I pie." That's a noble
sentiment, to le sure, mid one thut
does credit to Mr. Underwood's heart

NOW I LAV Mt vufl TO SLEEP.
BY KATHAR1NK
The day was done, and 1 was sitting
Dreaming in the fading light
When I heard a small voice tell me :
'Mamma, me is lired to-night;
Me is lired of all day playin
Put my soldiers all away;
Tell ihe pussy 'at me's sleepy
But to-morrow me will play."
On my lap he climbed andnesiled,
Laid head upon my breast,
Said he loved his small gray pussy
But he loved his mamma best;
Then 1 sang a bylo-baby,
Gave him to the Angels' keep
And he went to dreamland saying,
"Now I lay me down to sleep."
"Now I lay me down 10 sleep,"
Said ihc bah' on my knee;
"Pray the Lord my soul to keep,"
He repeated after me;
"Should 1 die before I wake,"
Liule eyes were closing fast;
"Pray the Lord my soul io take,"
Said the liule boy at last.
Jusi a week and I was kneeling,
Siricken, in the fading light
W hen I heard a faint voice whisper:
Mamma, me is tired to-nighi ;
Me is tired of all day sleepin'
An' me wants a liule play;
Bring my soldiers an' the pussy
Don't you let her run away."

On the bed I lined the soldiers,
Pussy marching at their head,
"Tate 'em down until to-morrow,
Me's too tired tonight," he said.
Then I clasped my one loved darling
Vi'aiched ihe shadows slowly deep,
And 1 felt the hot tears blind me
As 1 laid him down to sleep.
"Now I lay me down to sleep,"
Said ihe baby on my breast;
"Pray the Lord my soul to keep,"
As he slowly sank to rest;
"Should 1 die before I wake,"
Liule eyes were closing fast,
"Pray the Lord my soul to take,"
Faltered little lips at last.
On the hearth through many years,

To a Constitution man be was tell
ing of the result of his observations
on the presidential sjtuutlou with ref

and be said:
"I started out in this campaign think
ing I was for Woodrow Wilson for
president, but now that Oscar Under
wood, the son of our sister state, has
got Into the race I have changed my
mind, and I nm going to support him
with all my heart and soul.
Underwood Strong In Georgia.
"More than that," continued Mr.
Cushmsti, "this sentiment seems to
prevail everywhere I have beeu during
the past few weeks. 1 have never seen
anything like It, and if Underwood
does not sweep (ieorgln, Just as he has
already swept Alabama, I will be very
much surprised.
"The truth Is," continued Mr. Cusu
muu, "now that Mr. Underwood has
been forced Into the contest by the
very logic of the sltuutlon, there Is
nhsnlutelv nothing for tho south to
do but to stand by him, for if he Is
not nominated It can be for no other
possible reason limn that he Is a south
em man. Thus If he Is penalized It
will be the whole south that Is punish
ed, and It Is not like the south to Join
In the slapping of lis own face.

"In what sort of a position would

are passed and the Hepubllcans begin
to attack them, we should say that we
cannot put the father of the bills to
the front as their cliniiiploii ltl'.CAUKE

would be a humiliating confession, and
I for one do not believe the people of

"If the Underwood bills are right.

them through the house, and If he was
right when lending the fight for them

thing Is exactly true of Oscar Under

I am tired of such humiliating sec
