Depew's speech
whenever | am IN Chicago / find
Whatever subject is before the house
receives q local favor. Whenever |
meet Chicago man anywhere IN the
world, no matter on what subject we
converse, 10 returns 20 Chicago. Chi
cago has reason TO be proud of pre-
cisely what IS happening now. The
best results are most slgni1-
cant TO all that can be pro-
duced in the most condensed
form, OF what has happened from
the discovery of America, is the city
itself. | feel, whenever 1 meet q
Chicago man anywhere, that he
thoroughly appreciates that fact. When
| arrived here tonight several gentle
men connected with the press inter
viewed me, and the first question they
asked was: what do you think of
Chicago?' The second question was:
What do you think of our parade to-
day" | said. ~ got here after the
undaunted knight Of the pen. "What
wpuld you have thought If you had
seen it?' Chicago has more religions
and less religions than any city IN the
world; it condenses IN its civilization,
llgi0us liberty which this country has
produced. There IS tradition that
when Columbus landed on San Sal
vador the native chief turned 10 his

LADIES and gentlemen: All is love;
we are discovered. [Great laughter
