iS Congressman Francis Burton Harrison
has gone to the Pacific. On his return |
am told he proposes to enter into the
Il POLITICAL field as an active worker. E1c,
doubtless, got taste OF the smoke Of
( bloodless battles In waging his fight for
Congress. He carried a staunch Republi-
can district by .1,5o0 votes. He is q Demo-
gcrat. It is always Interesting to find a
man entering upon a career with an
4 aim to be somebody in his country's his
tory. Mr.. Harrison comes rightly by It,.
His ancestors have always been pron,t-S
snent in Virginia. His fhther, Mr.. Burton
Harrison, Is well known throughout the
South, and the clever and charming,
novels and short stories Of his mother
are known throughout the nation; Con-
gresham Harrison can be said \ to in-y
$1erit love for public life, a high sense
sot honor, perslstency, courage and ability.
II venture to- say that Mr.. Harrisonsi Is a
coming man In M tional poll tiles.
