| Summary: | Leaflet issued by the Underwood Campaign Committee for Alabama, during Senator Oscar Underwood's run for president of the United States. The publication defends his position on the prohibition issue; while Underwood originally opposed the Eighteenth Amendment ("...I thought temperance could be better attained along another line. It was not consistent with my idea of local self-government") he fully supported federal prohibition once it became "the supreme law of the land." The leaflet includes an endorsement from Dr. W. B. Crumpton, president of the Alabama Anti-Saloon League, and it emphasizes the importance of supporting a Southerner in the upcoming election: "Underwood can win--he is going to win--if the South will stand behind him as the South's candidate: and for the first time in more than eighty years a genuine Southern Democrat, resident of the South, will sit in the White House as the President of these United States!"
