, Th’ task is not only a big one, but re
quires much time To remove the many
breeding places of mosquitoes in a large
territory is an undertaking that requires
practical co-operation from individuals,
corporations and public authority. Money
and labor alone will not perform the
service. There must be appreciation by
the people of the private as well as pub
lic benefits, to be derived from success
in the task. That the citizens of the
Tennessee Valley are beginning to real
ize the heavy financial burdens, as well
as the many other costs, of malaria, is
evidenced' by the fact that they have
resolutely entered into the task of re
moving the menace. _
UNDERWOOD'S QUALIFICATIONS
The candidacy of Oscar Underwood for
the Democratic presidential nomination
is based upon sound and compelling rea
sons. His legislative training, extending
back over a continuous and fruitful pe
riod of thirty years, is an asset that can
not be minimized. His capacity for lead
ership is attested by his election as Dem
ocratic leader in the house and by, the
fact that, when promoted to the senate,
he was there also chosen as Democratic
leader, a record and a distinction which
Oscar Underwood solely shares with
Henry Clay in the life of the Democratic
party in the history of over 140 years.
