Varner yesterday afternoon gave out a letter written to the Ni; we Observer replying to an article in that psper,"thi morning. The letter is In this language and explains itself: " "I see in your paper today that your Washington correspondent 'says that I am for Mr. Underwood for the Demo cratic nomination for President, forjhe purpose of helping Governor : Harmon. There is absolutely no fdun lation for this statement, , 1 never in my life sup ported one candidate in the interest of some other candidate. , It is true, that before I had given ' careful considera tion to this question, and before I knew that a southern man bad a real chance to secure the nomination, I was inclined to support governor Harmon, ; but re cently I became convinced that not on ly did "Mr. Underwood have . a good chance to secure the .nomination, but Uat his nomination would give the par ty it j beit chance to elect a president and that his election would ; give to the country its best possible executive,: In this condition I determined . to support him. ';it(i:'1 ''','.: :'-': S ?. . -"Why is it necessary to the candida cy of the man whom your . Washington correspondent is supporting that the motives. of those who support other candidates should be impugned? Why is it that every man who changes from some other candidate to Wilson is a pure and lofty patriot, while every man who changes from an inclination for a northern candidate to an " earnest sup port of sn able,' upright ' Southerner is komewbat of a rascal, or at least a hypocrite and trickster? : ; , Mr. Underwood is unquestionably the best qualified man for the presidency that has teen proposed, because he has had 18 years experience in Congress, It is generally conceded that he knows more about the tariff than any man in Cor gress and he has led the Democrat ie mioriiy mm nther man .has been able to k ad it since the waro He is a consistent tariff rr ft nter, standing for a ta-iff for revenue only. If the Demo crats win the presidency, the tariff must be the paramount issue. ' If Mr. Underwood is nominated he will be elected, because he, will command the support of all factions. He is progres sive, yet he is conservative, and is not aligned with any faction of the party, therefore he could sweep the country as no other candidate could possibly do. For 60 years the doors of the White House has been closed to the men of the south. I have long felt that this was largely the fault of the Democrats of the south themselves. - During the;e 60 years when ver a toutliern man ha been poken of for this high office, we have taen counsel wilh our feus and unanimously voted that our man would be unavailable. Of course the other tctioi S of the country have been wil lirg to accept our own ertimate uf cur s' Iver, This condition will go on just as long as we make no effort to change it. The Dcmocrata of the north and west will take our presidential nomina tions to men of the r sections forever if we of the south do not demand thenom i lation of a southerner. For ore, and I believe there are many thousands more, I favor the nomination of Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama, not only because be is a southern man, but be cause of his eminent fitness for the of fice and the certainty of his election sbooM be be nominated. Democrats of the south, now is the time to realize your long hope of an equal participa tion in the government of the country by the election of one of your own statesmen to the presidency. Let's give Underwood a solid southern vot; the divisions and iealouies between the Northern candidates will furnish the other votes necesjery to his nomina tion," - ;, ' lf Mew Fastor Arrives.

In one of the worst snow storms London has known in many years King George and Queen Mary were welcomed back. from. th?ir event ful visit to India to tie crowned Emper er and Empress and receive the hom age of their Oriental princely vassals. They have been absent three months. Despite the cold, thousands . gathered along the streets .and heartily cheered the King and Queen. The cold was so intense people had to stamp their, feet and run up and down on the pavement to keep warm. A few days ago spring flowers were growing in the open. George and Mary were all smiles and were obviously very "glad to be home again; No one disguises now that their visit to India . was " involved in great risk s. The family group of the King the Queen and the Prince of Wales, who met his parents at Portsmouth ex changed ; affectionate ; glances among themselves, and, at the same time beaming on the cheering populace, made a picture that aroused the warm est enthusiasm. The short drive to the palace was attended by two impressive incidents. .Each of them has greatly stirred the people here.; As the royal carriage drove by tbe American Embas sy King George stood up and,, turning impressively toward it, saluted the Stars and Stripes flying over the Em bassy entrance. The crowds that wit nessed this act of courtesy quickly rec ognized its meaning and cheered vocif erously. At the gstee of Buckingham Palace the enthusiasm of the people broke loose from the customary British stolidity. As their Majesties passed through the throng spontaneously burst forth into the stiring strains of "Home, Sweet Home." The effect was thrill ing, and many shed tears. The Queen was so deeply touched that she was forced to raise her handkerchief to her eyes. After tha royalties had entered the pilace the crowds remained outside singing "God Save thaJCingl'V He's a Jolly Good fellow !" and if. 'For Auldlbati Lang Syne." Their Majesties respon ded by appearing on the balcony over the entrance, and they were then greet ed with round after round of applause. The King looked thin after his anxious tour but he was brorzed and appeared unusually active and- lively. Queen Mary seemed remarkably well and bad more then' her wonUd color Premier Asquith and other members of the Cab inet, the Diplomatic Corps, the Lord Mayor, of London, the Mayors of the principal provincial cities and many of ficers of the army and navy were at Victoria station to meet Their Majes ties and formed a brill ant group in their uniforms and regalia.

Refused To Leave -. His Wife. A Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 7. Watchers along the lower rapids and at points of vantage on the shores of the Niagara whirpool fail to see any trace of the bodies of Burrell Heacock of Cleveland, and Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge Staunton, of Toronto, the three persons who were swept into the whirlpool and drowned Sunday, through the breaking of the fee bridge over the Niagara river below the falls. Old rivermen say that the bodies never will be found, Tbe whirl pool is a mass of floating, grinding ice cakes and the bodies in all probability will be ground to pieces in the milling of the ice cakes. " . The bridge was considered perfectly safe. For weeks the grot fields of ice had been coming down the river, piling up against the barrier, until it was from 60 to 80 feet thick and under the influ ence of zero weather had become firmly anchored to the chore. The jam was about 1,000 feet in length and in some places a quarter of a mile in. breadth. For two weeks it had offered safe pass age to the hardy and Sunday an immen se crowd of excursionists came to view the winter wonder of the river. Had the accident happened an hour later in the day hundreds would have lost their lives, for the crowd was moving into Prospect park in the elevators that run down the cliff for the purpose of vent uring out upon tbe ice. ' Somewhere deep in the great whirlpool sleeps the man partially identified as Mr. Staun ton, who twice put aside chances of res cue in order to remain with bis terror stricken wife, and who, in tbe shadow of death just at the break in the ra pidsspurned assistance for himself and attempted to bind about the wo man's body a rope dangling from the lower sttel arch bridge. The lad, Bur rell Heacock, was cast in tbe same mould. Had he not turned back on the ice to give assistance to the man, he too, might have made the shore. - On the tridB Itteiim. i Un trom the shore besides these three were Monroe Gilbert, of this city; Ignatue Roth, of Cleveland, Heacock'a companion: Wil liam Hill, an old rivermao; William Labiond, riverman, and an unidentified Italian. Hill, nearest to the American Shore, heard the grinding and cracking of the ice. and ran at top speed toward the Canadian shore, calling to the others to follow him. Lablon gave them warn ing that safety lay in that direction. Gilbert and the Italian followed their lead, but the others became confused, By the time they hsd regained their composure, the bridge was moving fast down the river. r - - You are what you are only when no one is looking. ''SETliT : Is President Taft's Ultimatum To Mexican Government or This Country Will. Washington, Feb. 6. Unless the fifty Americans now held prisoners by the revolutionaries at Villa Ahumada, Mex ico (a town between Columbia and Juarez), are released at once, this Gov ernment will.take such steps as may be necessary to force their release. That ia, in substance, the demand which has been made upon President Madero by this Government, which also demanded that all Americans in Mexieo be given every, protection necessary to assure their safety. . The decision to present an ultimatum to the Mexican Govern' ment was yached at Presidents Taft's conferance with State and War Depart ment officials. A reply to the note is expected in a few days In tbe mean time the War Department will order Gen. Duncan, commanding the Depart ment of Texas, to continue assembling troops along the border. Col. Steever, commanding at El Paso, Texas has been ordered to enforce the neutrality laws and prevent any firing from the Mexi can side which may imperil lives on the American side of the river. Gen.
