Underwood Seen as Possible Vice Presidential Hint for South
Alabama representative Oscar W Underwood chairman of the ways and means committee is tapped by friends as a potential vice presidential nominee. They argue a Southern man on the ticket could pave the way for a Southern president, while noting his tariff record and independence from Bryan. His aim is to leverage the tariff issue in 1912 and to position the Democratic ticket for strong House influence.

Plead for Robnett Naval Physician In Court Martial Row
Naval physician Dr Robnett and Paymaster Auld were court-martialed after a clash with Dr E S Cowles at a navy hop in Charlestown Massachusetts on December 11 1909. Auld was spared further punishment by marriage to Madeline Swift, while Robnett was reduced to lose two numbers in rank, with officials noting the insult over the telephone stood as the reason for his harsher fate. Friends say Robnett was made the scapegoat in the dispute over Miss Swift, daughter of Rear Admiral Swift.
