Whea tta Democratic' Caucus met In this hall in 4903 at the beginning of the Fifty-Eighth Congress, Mr. Wil liams' was first chosen "Mlnorty Lead er,", the successor of Morrison, Car lisle, 'Mills, Crisp, Bailey, and Rich ardson. -J , For four years he has led the Dem ocratic hosts upon this floor. . Always at bis post of duty and in the forefront and thickest of the fight, he has ben able, adrofC Bklllful, hon est, courageous and successful. His' tact and energy; power of or ganization and ability as a debator, have been unsurpassed by any leader of the Minority without exception, in my opinion. , Having served In the ranks under his predecessors, Mr. Bailey and Mr. Richardson, and with the highest re spect for the intellectual ability, and parliamentary skill of both, those of us who know John Sharpe Williams best and love him most regard him as the peer of either, and the superior in many respects ot any man who has ever been chosen the "Leader of the Democracy." , We have followed him here with Im plicit confidence even as the Hugue- iiots followed the white plume of Hen ry .of Navarre.'; v I '. : He. is the ablest debater today In either branch of . Congress; the most tactful, skillful, resourceful .: leader Democracy has ever had, and I hope to see him continue to lead the Minor ity until he takes his place as "Sen ator" from Mississippi.

In debate I have never seen him lack fluency or Information or .self possession even when measuring swords . with the ablest .debaters In the House; and I have i n him time and again, whetf'he had drawn his sword from Its scabbard, plunge It in debate to the very hilt through the thickest armor of his adversaries and parry the most akillful and vicious thrusts ot his Republican opponents. From the time he entered the Fifty' Third Congress to this good hour he has never made a fight when victory was possible in Mississippi or here which he did not win. He has held his leadership as a great trust for Democracy; perfected the organization of his party upon the Committees and united .as far as In mnnshlp, of a Demooracy which he the power of mortal man the Demo-: lleves with Jefferson In equal lights cratle Minority.

Every man in the county who Is in terested In maintaining a fair price for cotton, should be interested In se lection of officers to serve for the next twelve months.- The most influential men of the county should be selected to serve as officers, and when elected, these should give their very best ef forts to make the county association means of help to every one In the county.

It Is the session that will create the Issues and perhaps the men for the approaching presidential campaign. ' Both houses of Congress are newly renovated, The desks have been over hauled and new carpets laid. ' The great marble building .to be used by the house members as office quarters Is almost ready for occupancy. .The Senate office building will not be completed until late in the winter.- , The financial situation threatens to start a debate with whirlwind force, as soon as the floral tributes can be removed from the members desks. It understood that half a dozen reso-. lutlons and bills bearing on the mat ter and providing a remedy for pres ent ills have already been prepared. Itls -' the hope of the administration and the Republican leaders in Con gress that the general terms of a bill can be tentatively agreed upon, so that when the measure comes into Congress it may bid fair to receive the support of Republicans in both houses, as a party measure, and re gardless of individual opinions and prejudices.- ' ' " r - . ' Four Propositions There are tour general propositions foe solving the currency problem, each of which has Its advocates. And the pride of opinion when It comes to the financial question Is simply something amusing. It beats religious prejudice all' hollow and is pretty near as seri ous as the prohibition question. These four propositions are, briefly as fol lows:"'" '.'';''"',' The creation of a central bank of issue. .: "'i' A central organisation of existing banks. . : . v .-';' v .'jj..,'. The issuance of additional circula tion against securities other than United States bonds. The Issuance of circulation upon general assets secured by a guaranteed teed fund. ; '; -'i ..

It Is thought there will be considerable con ferrlng before an agreement is reach ed, promising the passage of a bill, Some of the Administration support ers are very bitter In their talk about Representative Chas.
