Mr.. Clerk: We came together here in
the early winter, from all sections of the
State, holding various and differing views
upon all matters of public policy, likely to
engage our attention. We have had vast
amount of business before us, affecting the
well being of our constituencies and the
State. Yet we have so legislated that har-
mony and good will have prevailed-predju-
dices previously formed have melted away
before the warmth of social and Legislative
intercourse, and warm, and, trust, lasting
sentiments of respect and friendly regard fol-
all our fellows have grown up in the hearts
of US all.

from Ames, in 1920, to this time, we have a
catalogue Of illustrious names-men who
have been elevated to the highest positions
in this commonwealth-me like Ruggles,
Evans, Clifford, Davis, Cilley, Hamlin,
Blaine, Mcdonald and Andrews; and none
gave promise of attaining more exalted po-
sition in life than our own youthful Speaker.

wishes for his future happiness, prosperity
and elevation. As we "pack up" to depart
from here. with malice toward none. and
with good will for all, so NAV our final ..pack-
inc mn" no when VIC denart from ali the bnsv
scenes of life. Applause.

has discharged the very difficult and delicate
duties of his office as Speaker Of this House.
