HOPE OF REPUBLIC
RESTS WITH SOUTH
BY Hugh w. Roberts.

| Washington, Dec. 13. - That the
South is the hope of the survival Of
tie American republic was declared
by former Vice President Thomas B.
Marshall in an informal address to
the Mississippi society tonight.
Hardly had the applause that
erected his first reference to the
South subsided before he renewed the
demonstration with another ringing
sentence:
The destiny of this nation is in
the hands Of the pure Americanism of
the South and not with the babel of
tongues that is confounding the cities
Of the East. You people of the South
once tried to dissever the union. But
l say now that the hope of the sur
vival Of the republic is the South"
MIR. Marshall then explained that
he purest English speaking and Eng
l'sh thinking strain which for GEN.
rrics has stood for the greatest
measure of freedom and liberty was
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-.
servers and defenders of Democratic
IDEALS and believers of conservatism
in government and social order would
stand as stone wall to turn back the
tide of "wild eyed" radicalism now
threatening in the "hideous" form of
Bolshevism.
Mr.. Marshall was given another
walton when he "spoke his heart and
mind about Mississippi's senior SEN
ator, John Sharp Williams. 81. know
something of the men now occupying
seats in the United States senate" he
laid, "and know something about
he men who have in days gone by
served in that eminent body and what
l am going to say is not in disparage-
r'ent of any senator living or dead. 1t
IS my deliberate judgment and care
fully formed opinion that for compre-
hensive knowledge of the political his
tor yof the world, of the origin Of
races and nationalities and the sci
ence of government, John Sharp Will
liams has never had superior in the
senate. / will say also that for sus-
ltained eloquence. sustained logic and
Z sustained strength M debate hs i
without an equal in any Legislative
body in the world. And remarkable
fact in this connection is that he is al
ways ready"
Another pleasing reference by Mr..
Marshall was to Senator Harrison's
speeches in Indiana during the recent
campaign. He said that the junior
Mississippi senator struck blows in
hat state which staggered the enemy
and contributed effectively to the vic
tcry won by Governor Ralston in his
race against Beveridge for the SEN

WOODROW WILSON
IGNORES RUMORS
Hugh w. Roberts.

Washington, Dec. 13. - Woodrow
Wilson, it is reported by those under
stood to be most intimate with him
will not dignity by denial the point
ed reports; regarded by some as in
spired, which are presently making
the political rounds.
The most insistent of these reports
is that on January or whereabouts
when the Democrats throughout the
country are celebrating the anniver-
sGry of the birth Of Andrew jackson,
Mr.. Wilson will issue a statement
which will be tantamount to a chal-
lenge to those who would question
his leadership or dictatorship of the
Democratic party. In that statement
II is said that Mr.. Wilson will insist
that the league Of nations be made
the issue of the presidential campaign
two years thereafter. 1t is claimed
that this would indicate his determi-
nation to try for the nomination, or
obtain it for Senator Carter Glass of
Virginia.
The reports are known by Demo-
clats here to be wild. They have be-
come so insistent, however, that an
effort was made to secure a statement
from the former president. It was
learned as result that Mr.. Wilson
will continue to ignore all reports. 1t
was said, however, that the former
president is not desirous of creating
discord in the party ranks, but that
he is anxious to lend aid for the main-
tenance Of harmony. He is reported
AS having indicated the keenest desire
that Republicans be defeated two
years hence.
Mr.. Wilson is sharply disinclined to
correct unofficial gossip. 1t is recall
ed that it was reported that he had
snubbed General Foch when that COM
mander called at his s street resi-
dence. AS matter of truth, Mr.. Will
son was suffering with indigestion
when Foch called and did not even
know Of the visit until afterwards. He
had made arrangements to receive
Foch in his bed room.
But Mr., Wilson would not deny the
reported Anubbing. Likewise, it Is sale
that hs will not deny the reports pres.

Once upon a time, before a state
