ence 10 the southland subsidized be-
fore the demonstration was renewed
with another ringing sentence:
Destiny in Hands Of South.
1.-THE destiny of this nation is in
the hands of the pure Americanism
lof the south and is not with the
/ label of tongues that are confound-
people of the south once tried to
sever the Union. You thought you
were right, but / will say now that
the hope of the survival of the re-
public is the SOUTH
Mr.. Marshall then explained that
the purest English speaking and
English thinking strain which for
centuries has stood for the greatest
preserved in the south as in no other
section OF the United States and that
the day was not far away when these
descendants of the traditional pre-
ideals and believers in conservatism
in government and social order would
stand AZ q stone wall to turn back
the tide OF wild-eyed radicalism now
threatening in the hideous form of
bolshevism.
Williams Without a Superior.
Mr.. Marshall was given another
ovation when he spoke his heart
and mind" about Mississippi's senior
senator, John Sharp Williams. Il
know something Of the men now
occupying seats in the United States
Senate" he declared, and | know
something about the men who have
in days gone by served in that emf
nent body, and what | am going to
say is not in disparagement of any
senator living or dead 1t is my de-
liberate Judgment and carefully
formed opinion that for comprehend
sive knowledge of the political his<i
tory of the world, of the origin Uf
races and nationalities and the
science of government John Sharp3
Wilkins has never had a superior
in the Senate. | will say also that
for sustained eloquence, sustained
logic and sustained strength in de-
bate he is without an equal in any
legislative body in the world. And
remarkable fact in this connection
is that he is always ready"
Another pleasing reference by Mr.
Marshall was to Senator Harrison s
speeches in Indiana during the re-
cent campaign. He said that the
junior Mississippi senator struck
blows n that state which staggered
the enemy and contributed effective
ly to the victory won by Governor
RalstOn in his race against Bever-
idge for the Senate.
