Senator Harrison Attacks Republicans in Keynote Speech

NEW YORK June 14 America Needs a man in the White House who can unite and lead. Senator Harrison of Mississippi delivered the keynote at the Democratic National Convention, denouncing Republican policies and urging a broader foreign policy while praising investigations that challenged corruption in the preceding administration and praising figures linked to oil and veterans' affairs. He contrasted Democratic calls for honesty with what he termed a “carnival of corruption” in Republican ranks and urged voters to seek a strong, reforming government.
