A joint assembly was held in repre-
sentatives hall to officially notify Mri
Proctor of his election to the United
States Senate. Folio wing is his &C
ceptance speech in part:
Six years ago when I came before
the Joint Assembly on an occasion
similar to this, we had just completed
a successful foreign war. The occa-
sion seemed opportune, and I availed
myself of it, to discuss some OF the
| new questions which at that luncture
confronted US. Now we are IN the
midst of a political campaign, and it
seems to me not appropriate to speak
| of any matters that can have part1-
san bearing.
I am a party man-proud of my
| party, and I believe in its principles,
but have always tried, and shall con-
tinue to try, to represent all of the
| people of this state without respect
| to party differences. The primary
duty of member of the United States
| Senate is to the larger national in
terests committed by the Constitu-
ton to that body. At the same time
l do not intend to be unmindful of the
peculiar interests of our own Vermont.
If must be judged by what have
accomplished l can claim but little,
but if judged by my constant purpose
| and endeavor to serve the state faith
fully and efficiently, I feel that I have
rrir 1n hon k1nE ~
To continue so to do will, Mr.. President
| ton so long as I shall represent Yer
mont in the position to which your
confidence has assigned me. Again l
thank you, thank you.
