One of the Ablest Men We're Ever

the Reputation of Being Progress

Those Democrats and others who op
posed Senator Simmons during the
late Senatorial campaign, as .well as
the 20,000 majority who fought for
the re-election of Senator Simmons
will be pleased and more than pleased
the extent of the pleasure being meas
ured by the enthusiasm which was
manifested either for or against Mr.
Simmons, to know .that North Caro
lina's Senator is making a record as a
tariff reformer.
There was much rumbling among
those who did not know Mr. Simmons
when it was found that he would
be elected head of the all powerful
finance committee. Some of them
said he was a protectionist; that he
would not revise the tariff in ac
cordance with the Democratic
platform and that he would follow
in the foot steps of the late Senator
Gorman, of Maryland.
None of these predictions have come
true. Senator Simmons today sits at
the head of the table in Democratic
tariff making. His Democratic mem
bers who had been told that he would
not stand "hitched" now realize that
they were mistaken. They one and
all, declare that his efforts in bring
ing about the tariff bill in accordance
with Democratic doctrine is really
one of the great accomplishments of
the Democratic Congress.
"You ask me what I think of Sena
tor Simmons as a progressive Demo
crat?" said Ollie M. James, Demo
cratic Senator from Kentucky and a
progressive with a big "P.". "I think
Senator Simmons is one of the abfest
men we have ever had on the Demo
cratic side of the Senate. All this
talk I hear about Simmons being a
re-actionary has been manufactured.
Simmons today stands at the head of
the list as a tarif reformer. His work
in connection with the framing of
the Democratic tariff bill will go
down in history as one of the greatest
pieces of legislation ever enacted, and
your North Carolina senior Senator is
due the credit for most of the work.
"More than that President Wilson
knows and appreciates the worth of
Senator Simmons. The President, I
venture to say, today thinks as much
of the ability and true progressive De
mocracracy of Senator Simmons as
any other man in the Democratic party."
The views of Senator James are
similar to those heard from all sides
in regard to Senator Simmons. His
handling of the tariff bill is simply
a remarkable piece of work; work
that North Carolinians cannot help
but feel proud.
The Independent, a weekly maga
zine published in Boston, in an arti
cle published May 22, and under the
caption of "Men We Are Watching,"
has the following to say of Senator
Simmons:
"We have learned to stand in awe
of the powerful finance committee of
the Senate. Aldrich was chairman
of it and a line of politicians who
made the wheels go round right mer
rily. And now Simmons of North
Carolina is chairman, and it is within
conservative truth to say that since
his appointment hardly two months
ago he has been making wheels go
round in a way to startle even Some
of the hardened engineers of the past.
He has the new tariff on his hands
more of a task, this time, than has
often fallen to the lot of the season
ed engineers. Not a few are watch
ing him and wondering if he can ac
complish it. So much, one may say,
at least; that he has a commanding
grip on the majority of the finance
committee and that he calmly propos
es to "expedite" matters in a way
tempting one to confidence that he
will do it. He is a strong advocate of
the secret caucus as the place to
thrash out party differences with the
final conclusion of the majority bind
ing upon the party. He has won
more than one victory along this line
already.
"Senator Simmons is a small man
but powerfully built, with the accumu
lated dignity of carriage and de
meanor of 12 years in the Senate and
two in the House, He has dark hair
and moustache, just touched a bit
with gray; for according to the calen
dar he is 58 though he does not look
an hour past 50, or even that. He is
quiet and deliberate to the limit, ex
cept when on his feet on the floor of
the Senate. He is as pleasant a man
to meet as one finds anywhere. He
is a Southern gentleman, completely.
All of which tempted some to be sur
prised, when those who knew him best
made him chairman of the great fi
nance committee. But more and more
it will become evident that they knew
what they were about. The man who
can manage the still hunt well is the
man who manipulates committee and
caucus and eventually the Senate.
"North Carolina swears by Sena
tor Simmons and she knows him well.
He is a serious thoughtful man; not
quick in coming to conclusions or ex
pressing them, but with the courage
to stand by them when they are reach
ed. In the course of his career in the
Senate he has several times taken
positions well in advance of the "more
cautious and timid and defended them
to victory. He has well earned the
reputation bf being progressive and
has 6tood on the firing line in several
progressive movements when the man
at the front took serious chances if
he was not far-seeing and self-reliant
as well as fearless. TTjbegins to ap
pear to those interestoa that it is a
case of the right man in the right
place when Simmons appears as
chairman of the Senate finance committee."
