thing like partisan feeling with respect to
American affairs, but there is nothing to pre-
vent me from giving expression to the feeling of
high personal regard which I, like all Euro
peans, entertain for President Roosevelt, of
whom every American, irrespective of party dis
tinction, may well say what an English Torey

The President then told of the incident when,

told me- he said, that they intended to elect
me President. I told them that if they full
filed their part of the contract I would fulfil
mine. am not certain that they expected that
their offer would be closed with so soon.
Tonight I wish to greet you all most
warmly. doubt If could find anywhere a
more typical American gathering, for the Ameri-
eanism is not of birth, ancestry or creed, but OF
