In the second letter, written November 30, 1918, Underwood thanks Cooke for his support and denies the accusations of his opponents: "I have been in no way connected with the Saloon League as legal advisor or any other capacity with any such organization. I have believed in the fundamental principle of local self-government and the right of local determination by the people of each Sate of the questions of prohibition, woman's suffrage, and other kindred questions."
