"Geutlemen of the House of Represen-
tatiyes: In assuming the duties and re-
sponsibilities of this place for second
time, / beg To return my most profound
thanks for this manifestation Of your con-
tinued confidence. II is q compliment
which I shall always remember with pride
and gratitude. Nowhere else in the world
can there be found legislative assembly
representing 80 great q constitution as
thai represented By this House, and GER
tainly no similar body consisting Of an
equal number of members, is its superior
in point of ability and devotion to the in
terests intrusted toit. The privilege Of
nresidinO over the deliberations of such q
bojv il a yery high and honorable distinc
tion-tbe highest and most honorable it
can confer on anv of its members, and |
arpreciate il as such.
rBnt gentlemen nv full appreciation OF
rorr action to-dav can best be shown by
consc;entious and impartial discharge Of
NV official duty, and although it may
not be wise to make pledges in advance l
venture To nromise that to the fullest ex
tent of nv ability the Law governing tie
proceedings of the House shall be evenly
administered"
with a view of the preservation OF or
der and decorum, protection of personal
and renreoentative riphts of members and
the nromnt transaetion of public business.
None oG tbese resuIts however, can be oS.
ta;nsd v;,Sont vonr active co operation

flietinO interests, q constant observance OF
established rules and urecedents is imper-
at;veIv recnired NOT opJy BIZ considerations
yitaIlS affecting the public welfare, but in
order 10 maintain thr honor and dignity
of the House itself. In the
sharp contests for priority, which
unayoidsbly occur in such a body the re-
atraints imposed By fixed rules are some
times quite severely tested, especially if
there has been a large accumulation Of
business but experience has shown that
necessitv for order and regularity in con.
s;dsra,ion Of lecislatiye measures is so
fully appreciated by gentlemen on the
floor that they can always be relied upon
m sustaiu the presiding officer in every
nroner effort he NAV make to obtain that
resnlt, In view of this fact, l feel much
more confident of reasonable degree OF
success in this trying position than
vonId otherwise be iustifabie. Questions
