Rowing Campaign Orators.

Senator Pat Harrison continues to
be prominent in the picture. A ready
and entertaining speaker and aggres.
sive politician, he il at his party's COM
mand at all times, and appears in
many places on his party's missions.
His latest appearance was at st.
Paul, where. in the presence Of large
assembly of democrats. he gave the
republicans q dressing down in the
familiar campaign fashion. weighed
them rhetorically in the balance, found
them wanting, and demanded that
they be made to retire in favor Of
men who had q program for the relief
Of the country and an organization to
put it into action.
The Mississippi senator has abun.
dant time for this sort Of party serv-
ice. He is not needed at home. The
Bayou state is safe for the democracy
In all circumstances. 1t could not be
lifted out Of the democratic column
with the aid Of Q derrick.
The same Is true Of other southern
democrats Of oratorical gifts. They are
not needed at home. but are safe in
accepting invitations to move up and
down the firing line wherever the bat
tie Is hottest.
The republicans are not 30 fortu'
nate. There is no section Of the coun.
try where their campaigns conduct
themselves. Attention is necessary
everywhere. Even in states where
they are strong they are not proof
against surprises. A democratic or.
ganization exists in every state. and
now and then one Of them scores when
least expected to do so.
This year, while the democrats a
usual win thus be on Easy street in
a number Of states, the republican,
will be challenged even in those states
where ordinarily they are successful
The democratic leaders are persuadina

Establishment Of free ports. or for

the United States Tariff Commission
IL proposed in bills introduced in the
Senate by Senator Jones and in the

Having had q short respite after
the tariff bill and the so-called SOL

whether local wholesale prices

many producers to unload.
While the receipts Of country
