Abstract
- The article presents information on two young U.S. Senators, Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and Russell Long of Louisiana. Spoke for the first time in the U.S. Congress one afternoon this week. Taken together, their speeches had an irony and coincidence that make them an interesting footnote to history. The subject of one was the projected Missouri Valley Authority, of the other the right of Senators to filibuster. Humphrey's concern was the future of the West, he urged the development of hydroelectric power and soil-reclamation projects to rebuild a declining region. Long's concern was the past of the South, he defended parliamentary obstruction as a means of preserving the political status quo.
