SENATOR MONEYS LEADER
CHTp


New Orleans States: In selecting
Senator Money as the leader of the
Senate minority the Democrats of this
body paid handsome compliment to an
experienced, honest and able Southern
statesman. Senator Money; served in
the lower House for many years and as
mark of their confidence the people
of Mississippi elevated him to the Sen
ate, where he has proven a worthy sue
cessor to the great men who have rep
resented the State in the country's high
est legislative body.
A profound student of the principles
of government, rare exponent of the
doctrines of Democracy, precise in his
logic, keen and formidable in debate,
Senator Money is one of the best
equipped public men in the country to-
day; hence the honor bestowed upon
him by his fellow Democrats in the
Senate is no meaningless tribute to his
character and worth. Just prior to the
senatorial campaign in Mississippi
which resulted in the election of John
Sharp Williams to the Senate, Mr..
Money, whose succession was contend
ed for, announced his intention of re-
firing at the end of his current term,
and thereby left the field open. So great
is the esteem of his fellow citizens for
him, that it is doubtful If there would
have been opposition had be desired re-
election.
In the Senate he has been modest and
unobtrusive, attending as diligently as
his health would permit to the duties
of his high position, but doing so quietly
and without ostentation, avoiding news
paper publicity and conducting himself
with the poise and dignity that charac-
terized the fine old statesmen of the
elder day. 1t is unfortunately true that
Democratic leadership during recent
years has been difficult proposition in
both House and Senate. Senator Gull
berson, who is fine specimen of the
tiAOdSlitIuA ollu (OlASSlNdLlNC AIuS1lIdll
statesman, found the Senate leadership
so burdensome and unsatisfactory that
he resigned from the position, and 9TH
ers have complained of the same expe-
rience.
Senator Money may not be able to
accomplish anything more satisfactory
in that respect than his predecessor has
done, but his years of honorable service,
his fine personal record in peace and
war and his mastery in debate will be
always an inspiration to his fellows and
to the country at large. The leadership
of the minority is always a thankless
but most important position, and there
are few today who could impart to it
the prestige and dignity with which it
will be invested " the incumbency of
this modest, incorruptible and able Mis-
sissippi statesman.
