...Mar. 4, 1927, will end a cycle of 32 years. It began in 1895, when young Congressman Underwood went to Washington. In 1910, when the Democrats, following the fight over the Payne-Aldrich tariff, emerged triumphant in the congressional elections, Mr. Underwood, a seasoned legislator of 15 years' experience, emerged as the majority leader.
