The Senator from Mississippi should bo chosen for this honor and his many friends snould urge him to accept. “The best educat ed man in Congress is a title that has been conferred on him. He is held in high esteem by his colleagues, by the President, and by the country. Of long legisla tive service in the lower house and in the Senate Senator Wil liams has shown a staunch de votion to the principles of Dem ocracy, brilliancy as a debater, wise statesmanship, and a de lightful sense of humor.
