Mr.. HESELTON of Kennebcc: My cX-
perience as a legislator has been very
limited. but my location and circum-

the rulings of the Maine Senate since
1881. when | was the official reporter in
this body: and can say without any de-
sire to hatter or with any purpose to eX-
agSerate that our President has iihOut
question been the equal of any of the
Presidents chair. and that he has been
surpassed by none of them since that
time.-a thorough pariamentariaE. ex-
hlbitinG an evident desire to be fair and
just in all his rulings. he has made good
every rromiSe he made to us when we

Mr.. MORSE of Waldo: Mr. President
the little token of respect and love which
We today tender YOU is indeed a feeble
Effort on our part to impress upon your
mind the high esteem this Senate as a
body entertainS for You. The Ia bOrS of
the session have been 50 materially light
ened by your leadership. that whatever
may have been our burdens. they have
ceased to be such under your watchful
care.
No man can lead successfully who does
not himself possess some superiority and
control over his own forces. All the lead

spirit Of confidence which insures success.

Too high an estimate cannot be place
upon our friends. and long ago It was
said He that is not for me is against
me- After all that true principle of rig ny
should always be the leading Characters
tic of our lives. and no man should falter
when thoroughly convinced Of his posi-
ton. Paul no doubt was honest in his
first work. but after he heard the voice
he turned about. and what wonderful sue
cess attended his efforts! May you. Mr..
ppEtIpmpn
the Senate. listen to that same small
voice. and heed its quiet whisperings.
