THINKS HARMON WILL
 BE NEXT PRESIDENT

yICKSBURG, Miss. Nov 16-con
 gressman Joseph F. Randsail of Lou iisiana. enroute to New Orleans to at itend the National federation of Cathc-
 lie societies, said: Tn my judgment iGovernor Harmon Of Ohio, is at this
 time decidedly the strongest demo
 icrafic candidate for president His
 lstate Is pivotal one, and the enor-
 imous majority just received by him
 flor governor indicates that the peo
 sple of that great commonwealth are ltweli pleased with his stewardship oi ,sthe past two years. Governor liar mon would come as near being ac IceFtable to both wings of the dem
 ocracy as any prominent man I know Iof. His record as democrat is
 sound to the core: and with him as

 Congressman RandsaH. in referring to the speakership. said: T am strongly in favor of Champ Clark for | that position, and shall dc everything in my power to secure 1t for him. | He flied the difficult role of leader 1 of the minority with signal ability and displayed many qualities Of lead ership which were unknown until the respons bility rested upon him. Mir. Clark is admirably equipped by lif-
 erary training, mental endowment,
 long service in congress, and even
 temper, wellbalanced mind, a ge- |nial, friendly disposition and sound
 judgment to fill this position second
 only in importance to that of presi-

 crats will unanimously select him. |
 With Mir. Clark as leader in the
 house of representatives, I hope to ! see 1t pass conservative tariff meas
 ure, with material reductions in | many schedules. which would, in my 1 judgment, considerably lessen the 1 cost of living, and such measure as | would receive sufficient support from | the insurgents in the senate to pass 1 that body.
 "A glorious opportunity is open to | the democracy, and if we can all | work together in wise concord under !. sound conservative leadership there is no doubt that we will elect the next president and have long lease of power"
 Mir. Randsall said that he regarded | the next annual convention of the Rivers and Harbors congress. scheduled for Washington, D. C., De cember ', and 3. as the most i'm portant in its history. The rivers and harbors bill. passed by the last congress. was the wisest and best waterway legislation ever enacted in , this country, and if the plans laid out I by the river and harbor committee, , when this bill was being prepared, are carried out, the waterways of the nation will be rapidly improved, along !, 5usiness-like and progressive lines ', The river and harbor committee {, framed the last bill with view of 1, having similar one passed at each i, session, in other words an 1, annual bli, but congress is not yet ' Iuliy committed to that policy. The T approaching convention of all friends 1f waterways at the national capital s for the purpose of creating such a strong sentiment fin favor of a liberal annual river and harbor bill that con- sress will be sure to enact one at the ! ,ext session. thereby establishing a la precedent for such bill every year, | Instead of every three years as for ic neriy. The convention vii lbe open a d by President Taft and a number lf, ,f the most prominent men of the lin lation will deliver addresses. a
