' Uy John VI.' Lathrop. , ; Washington, . Pre. 17. .Judson Har mon's appearance . before the. National Rivers and" Harbors congress In Wash ington December 8, was a great oppor tunity tor. a presidential aspirant The opportunity was not taken advantage of. There was distinct disappointment, Sev erel thousand delegates had assembled from all parts of the- United States. Most ef them had never sfen Governor Harmon, but there had been a campaign of newspaper laudation, which had gen erated a spirit of expectation, which was distinctly favorable -to the Ohio states man. Had a phonograph been set tin In .the convention hair It would have re corded a generous reception accompanied with much, noise and hand-clapping and stamping of feat The governor spoke about '10 minuted, and at the conclusion of hi remarks there: was only 4 small raeasf-re of applause. He was not once Interrupted byapplaiise, and this was not because, he had held his' audience enraptured., I do not think anyone will question the statement that most of the delegates heard the deliverance of Mr. Harmon with surprle. He did not strike a note above mediocrity. ;Two thousand out Of the 3009 delegates present could have excelled him In presenting the great 3sue of waterway Improvement i .Also Disappointed With Taft, ' " The disappointment over Governor Harmon's appearance followed equal dis appointment over President Taft's utter ances the day before, for tha president evaded many of the essential things in the working out of waterway develop ment, and recommended only that the waterways be developed In conjunction with the Ideas of the railroad men. In asmuch aa the delegates have been thor oughly convinced that the railroads are trying t control I waterway facilities, especially through control of waterway terminal. It seemed to be true that a majority of the delegates believed that President Taft did nov appreciate this menace to the proper outworking of a waterway policy. -. : :v v ---: '. What the Convention AikeA for, ' An analysis of the proceedings of the convention shows that these principal propositions were advanced: An annual rlvtr thd harbor bill; issuance of bonds, If necessary, to provide the money; the almost Immediate completion of ap proved projects; public , ownership of docks and the prevention of ' railroad monopoly ahd waterway terminals', as matters of equal' importance. Neither President Taft nor Governor Harmon seemei to understand that all these ele ments were essential; at any rate, their " speeches so Indicated. . It was Impossible 4o circulate among the delegates and attend the meetings without noting a; distinct tone of dis satisfaction with' the president's atti tude,' "So pronounced .was this sentiment that when Congressman Bansdell, presi dent of the congress, followed President Taft he received Cheer upon cheer when he vl'tually -Criticised President Taft's position. - , i ' 1 ''- f Journal.
