exercises great control over the thoushI
Of country. And in speaking to you az my
fellow Republicans. l wish you TO know no"
every man here in Washington who is striving
to do what in him lies TO serve his party
or make that party serve the country rea'I ,1
those

effective. II is upon your Interpretation or the
acts done here that must depend for having
these acts received at the proper worth py the
people as a whole. I feel very strongly tnat
what need IS simply to have the exact truth
told TO have what we have done set iorth as
It has been done. and to have our purposes IN
terpreted in the light not merely or our "oroS;
but of our deeds; and you know that that IS an
that we need and TO meet that need we de-
pend absolutely upon yor. Feeling This as
| do, II is in perfunctory manner mat greet
| you and thank you for coming here
