closely punctuated his remarks.
and the same was true when
the president made his reply. Like
Mckinley, the president read from
manuscript, but unlike Mckinley, he
spoke so that all could hear, and at
5 times he grew very earnest and impas-
stoned. He received an ovation when
he finished, and then everybody stepped
forward and offered him congratula-
tions. The president said:

a | sary of the declaration OF national indepen-
4 dence, n committee designated by the republic

v gratitude, great as 1t was forced into the
\ far background by an overwhelming sense OF
the responsibility OF leadership in a civil
> contest that involved so much to my coun-
l. try and to my fellow-citizens. 1 could not
