Commoner Returns to the Attack of Underwood's Ugly Record. Lincoln , Nob. , Aug. 19. In the cur rent issue of the Commoner W. J. Bryan again takes up the Underwood Incident. Referring to the Congres sional Record containing the speeches of Underwood and Kitchln , Bryan con tinues : "First , both ask for Mr. Bryan's nu- thorlty. Mr. Bryan has given It , the Omaha World-Herald , owned by Sen ator Hitchcock. 'Second , Mr. Kltchln admits making the speech attributed to him. He ex presses surprise that n democrat would use It. Thnt Is the partisan view , that it is proper to criticise an opponent but improper to criticise one of your own party. Mr. Kltchln Is now con vinced that Mr. Underwood was right in favoring delay in reporting n bill reducing the iron nnd steel schedules. Mr. Brynn is not convinced. The ac tion of the senate on other bills should have no influence on the house pro gram. There Is no good reason why the house should not proceed to re port bills as long as it is in session , the more the better. "But the most notable thing about Mr. Underwood's speech is that it does not meet the real point at issue. Did some one offer a resolution in structing the committee to proceed to report other bills and did Mr. Un derwood oppose to defeat It. The World-Herald dispatch says he did and that is the basis of Mr. .Bryan's criticism. Mr. Underwood admits that some one offered such a resolution and that he opposed it. Did Mr. Clark offer or support such a resolution ? If so , why did Mr. Underwood not so state ? If Mr. Clark did not introduce or support such a resolution , why did Mr. Underwood not specifically deny the report ? "The fact that In the beginning ho asked for immediate reduction on iron and steel has weight but it does not outweigh his opposition to immediate reduction now. His reasons for his present attitude are proper subjects for discussion. "Finally it will be noticed that he did not answer the criticism of the secret caucus. Does he stand for dark lantern methods ? Docs he be lieve that members should be per mitted to hide behind a caucus which furnishes no record vote as a mem ber of congress ? "Mr. Underwood can avail himself of his personal privilege to denounce a criticism but his explanation docs not explain If Mr. Underwood's an- swer is satisfactory to the democratic members of congress Mr. Bryan ap peals from their judgment to the judg ment of their constituents.
