on Coast Before Delivering
Campaign Speeches North
Radiant with the spirit of good fell
lowship and beaming with the satisfac-
ton and knowledge of having served
his people conscientiously and success
fully the past nine months, Congress-
man Pat Harrison blew in from Gnlf-
port Wednesday morning and spent the
day in this city, mingling with friends,
shaking hands with all whom he came
in contact with, (for everybody knows
the geniaIand sincere "Pat," and at.the
same time spending part of the day with
his former law associate and warm per-
sonal friend, Hon. Walter j. Gex.
Congressman Harrison never looked
better, never weighed SO much, and des-
pite few tell-tale gray hairs that ap-
pear to come early to all thinkers and
hard workers, he says he never felt
younger.
He will remain on the Coast, visiting
his family at Gulfport, for about two
weeks Only, when he will leave for the
Middle West to deliver number of
campaign speeches in the interest of
President Wilson's success as the can
didate for the Democratic party.
His assignments have been made by
the National Democratic Committee
through its organization, and although
rest and stay y-at-home would prove
thrice welcome, Congressman Harrison
says he must go and answer the call of
his party.
He announced the outlook was en-
couraging, and leaders and others are
sanguine of success In this. op&nson
he fully concurred. "But," he whis-
pered, "the opposition is spending
money as freely as water"
Continuing, Congressman Harrison
saie to The Echo, president Wilson's
administration has been eminently sue
cessful, and as result this country is
enjoying an era of prosperity and It's
people a sense of nationwide peace
and security as never heretofore.
"All through the Eastern and ada
cent States the blue or heaven is OBJ
scured with the density of the smoke
of factories; everybody is busy; the
farmers are prosperous over the coun-
try and money is plentiful.
"1his part of the country seems to
be the only section where prosperity
has not as yet reached fully as else
where, but that will come ultimately"
The Echo is of the opinion that the
lack of exports explains this fully. After
the war there'll be tide, like in the
affairs of all men, if taken at its flood
will lead on to fortune!
"That this country has kept out of
war and most disastrous strike has
been averted is all to the credit of
President Wilson and the Democratic
administration - the party in power.
The President aod Congress have been
hard at work and the results are telling"

lation has been along construc tive lines

ber of people.
