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* e in me u t.
