Confederate Veterans Back Underwood for President in Georgia

Special to the Banner reports hundreds of Confederate veterans in Georgia rally behind Oscar W Underwood for president. Gen Andrew J West presided at a Georgia veterans’ rally in Atlanta and Col G N Saussy endorsed Underwood, countering claims his family were northern sympathizers. Wilson supporters are noted, but veterans’ backing is framed as separate from those grounds. The piece reviews a canvass comparing Underwood and Wilson, citing county tallies and past elections, and notes Underwood declined to campaign due to duties in Congress.
