Many a political opponent he has strapped across the barrel and given a thrashing in the good old schoolmaster fashion. He thoroughly enjoys the privileges of a minority Senator and he remains on the Senate floor early anil late to keep the Republicans from nodding*, The one name proposed—“ Pat" Harrison —seemed to harmonize alt the thirty-three candidate*, another proof that Pat plays good ball on the pollt'eal diamond. Tat has a real see rotary In Mr. Eugene Fly, and what Mr. Fly does not know about all tinfamilies and voters lu Mississippi.' Senator Pat could easily supply.
