THE UNDERWOOD WAY.
Too Busy to Blow; Too Earnest to Parade; Too
Modest to Brag.
The average reader of political news and the great mass of Intelligent
American voters had hardly heard of Oscar Underwood of Alabama till
two years ago. They then began to ask, has this man been all
these
Underwood a Worker.
The solution Is simple, logical and of genuine credit to the subject of
the discussion. He had simply been st work. The Underwood way is
not the blazed and blazoned way. Ills progress has been steady, but
there have been no loud of the stages reached on the
Journey upward. There has been no meteor business In his. It has been
a steady, light, growing more and n-ore steadily brilliant as It
grew normally to needs and conditions and possibilities.
The Underwood Is exemplified In the significant record of his
biography In the Congressional Record. Where there were from twenty to
forty lines telling the life story of the other senators and representatives
there are Just five terse, well packed, fact full lines about Underwood.
The congressmen furnish the material for the In this biographic
their early life struggles, their triumph over difficulties,
modestly veiled of their winnings by figured majorities over
opponents, whom they married and who married them and a good deal
more.

That's all. That's enough. It's a record of just plain, hard
Increasingly effective and eminent public service. That's tho way
he been advancing. That's the reason you never heard of his rise
