THE NEW CONGRESSMAN
Young Mr. J. Lister Hill, ex-service'
man, lawyer and member of the Mont
gomery school board, will succeed to
the vacancy in congress created by
the death of John R. Tyson of the
Second district. To a young man en
tering politics no brighter prospect
was ever presented than that afforded
by the opportunity to serve Alabama
at this beginning of its great and in
calculable expansion in every produc
tive direction. It is encouraging to
note that Mr. Hill is committed to the
support of the offer of Henry Ford
for Muscle Shoals, and that he speci
fically put himself on record as op
posing the ambition of those corpora
tions seeking a monopoly of the state's
resources. Those judgments indicate
the proper attitude towards the public
welfare and towards the legitimate
destiny of Alabama. Mr. Hill’s po
litical opportunity is limitless. The
less attention he pays to his politi
cal situation and the more intelli
gent industry he devotes to solving
problems of public moment in a man
ner conducive to the public welfare,
the more secure his political tenure
will become.
