The Kosclusko Star-Ledger,
commenting on the congressional
contest in the sixth district, pays
the following merited compliment
to our candidate, Col. w. H.
Hardy:
The congressional contest in
the Coast district has opened up
and while we do not intend to
interfere with the policy and
desires of other districts, or to
speak disparagingly of any
aspirants for congressional
honors, yet we can not refrain
from expressing our high
estimate of Col. w. II. Hardy
who is IN the race.
His eminent ability amply fit
ting him for the position sought
beng one of the brainIest men IN
the state; to which may be added
his broad information and ex
perience acquired by study and
travel.
In the Development of Miss
issippi, he is indeed power,
being among the first to advocate
deep water harbor on the Mis-
sissippi coast and was the author
and fnisher of the New Orleans
and Northeastern railroad, and
was chief among the origlnators
and builders of the Gulf and Ship
Island railroad to Hattlesburg
and elsewhere. AS a citizen and
as a mem Der of the state senate,
his work stands outconspicuously
for the welfare of the common
wealth. In fact his ability and
experience makes him leader
where ever placed. All parts
of Mississippi feel deep interest
in the further Development of
the pine woods section and
especially the deep water harbors
on our own coast. 1t is d matter
that is universally conceded that
Col. Hardy IS better informed as
to questions relating to the deep
water question on the coast than
any other man in the state.
He has thoroughly mastered
the problem and can successfully
defend it as against all objections
that may be urged in congress or
elsewhere, when appropriations
for the development of our har-
bors come up. This is a great
state question and every man,
woman and child IN Mississippi
feels an interest in it. Col. Hardy
is the man of the hour, and his
election to congress will mean
larger appropriations for Mis-
sisslppi than at any time in her
history.-Hdttiesburg Citizen.
