SENATOR WM. J. HARRIS
IS MAKING ENVIABLE
RECORD IN SENATE
When Senator Wm. J. Harris entered
the Senate of the United States, after
his wonderfully rapid rise from private
life, I wrote for one of the current
magazines n prodiction that when his
term was ended, he would be written in
the records as perhaps not the most
eloquent, but certainly as ono of the
most practical und useful men who hud
served Georgia in that great assembly.'
The results of Senator Harris’ first,
term, now two-thirds completed, have
abundantly vindicated my prediction.
He has had four years in the Senate.
During this time he has had four dif
ferent colleagues and today he is the
Senior Senator from Georgia. Ite can'
soberly challenge the record that, with
in these years lje has secured ns much
or nwrre for Georgia—for Georgia men
and women—for Georgia interests, am
any previous Senator has done since
Joe Brown utilized his ” judgmont ”nnd
his .great tact in the service of tho
State. I congratulate myself that I am
not n bad judge of men.
Senator Harris lias won the honor of
a membership on the great, Appropria
tions Committee of the Semite which
handles nil bills to provide moiroy for
the Government under tho budget sys
tem. He is.the one Senator on that,
committee from the entire Southeast,
and excepting Senator Owen of Okla
homa, he is the' only Southern member
of the commltoe from North Carolina
to New Mexico. ’
lie is a member, nnd,in several oases
the ranking member o|»«t
tees which Actually d»«t th« mns-
the War Department, fcjwt
purtnient, including F odrfraL nld for
good roads, the Department, of Agncul
lure, tho Department of Commor. •
Department of the Interior »nd the
legislative establishments. The Com-
n ittees of Immigration and Territories
complete his important assignments.
Through alert and active sorvico the
Senator has been largely instrumental
in assisting tho various military nctivi-
Ties in Georgia with adequate appro- .
inflations, particularly at Fort Penning.
The rlvdis and harbors of Georgia havtt
evolved large allotments from tho go*
