 Alexander City Outlook: Every Alaba- milan takes.it as pleasant privilege to congratulate Senator John T. Morgan on having passed the s2nd mile post of his journey through life. Senator Morgan en- joys the esteem of the whole country, and as national character few men can stand in his shoes. There is cincerity of purpose, a rugged honesty and a tow ering mentality about this great states man that win him such popular encon- iums from people of all classes. His long service in the Senate has never been be- smirched by any hint of public graft, and he stands out inrelef as the ideal American statesman.
