Senator Harris; resembles Bob

that is hd‘slam at his handsomeness.
The Senator is no orator. But he is
what' is perhaps better — he

Senator Brown never made a speech
in.his life. He just talked. And he
talked such good sense that it whs a

Mr. Harris said: “Gaineville will live

which takes money from' the pockets

They had put a prohibitive tax on
potash, but; through ■ his efforts and
those of other Democrats, this tariff
had been taken off, thus saving mil
lions of dollars to cotton growers. In

The Senator spoke of Mussel
Shoals, and said the Government had
entered upon the project as a war
measure—to make nitrates for ex
plosives, and after the war, tp make
nitrates for fertilizers, to sell to the
farmers at cost. But its location in
