1 SYNOPSIS OF HIS REALLY GREAT
SPEECH--TELLS OF HIS WORK
In CONGRESS. URGES THE FAR
MERS TO RAISE THEIR HOG AND
H0MINY AT HOME. TELLS WHY
THE PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE IN
THE GENERAL ELECTION.
by d. K. Haltiwanger.)

Congressman Frank Lever was in
troduced by Chairman Glover Ablss
In a few complimentary remarks,
and was cordially received by the
audience which quickly gathered To
catch every word that fell from the
lips of this gifted son of old Lexington
These people are proud of their
young representative. They feel that
his every act, his every accomplish,
mont; his reputation In the State,
and nation, all belong to them as the
men who made him, and who now
support him, 1t was the universal
remark, heard all day, that he was
the one man who would merit a con-
tinuance OF their confidence, so long
as he was pleased to serve them. Mr..
Lever was at home among these peo
pie, and from his manner, his pleas
ant and unassum:ng way in meeting
his friends, no one would have dream
ed that he was a representa- tive of a
great people in the greatest Legis-
lative body in all the world. He is
Democratic simplicity itself, and it is
all natural with him. He Is truly the
representative Of the people In every
sense OF the word.
The attention and enthusiastic ap-
plause given him throughout his
speech OF nearly an hours length,
was both p ofound tribute to him
and compliment to the intelligence
OF his audience.
Only synopsis of his really great
speech is here undertaken. He be-
gan by thanking the people for their
past support, at the same time ex-
pressing his great pleasure In being
permitted to meet his countrymen
face to face in friendly review OF
his record in Congress- My record
belongs to the people who have made
me and you are entitled to know
what l have been doing" 1T is the
first time | have addressed you In
live years and | had to travel one hun
dred and fifty miles TO be with you"
II wanted to see you and wanted you
to see me, TO see that l was still
wearing tho same No. OF hat and
that my belly-band had not gotten
any bigger"
THE representative who fails to
mingle with his constituents, In or
der that he may know their wishes,
is getting too big for his treeches
and 1t Is then time to make change"
"Gou can't represent people unless
'ou know what they want, how they
feel and what are their peculiar
needs" That is my reason fOT being
here. 81 want TO talk with you TO
find out what you are thinking about;
to learn what service can be to you,
that | may better represent you in
Congress. want you to feel free to
let me know your wishes. am
your paid servant and every moment
of my time, all my energies, all my
thought, and whatever ability and ex-
perience have belongs TO you, and
so help me God as lengas am honor
ed by your confidence, IL all shall be
yours. (ApplauSe)
No man can serve two masters.
have no other business than that OF
representing the people and would
undertake nothing else so long as /
am in Congress. My time is yours.
These remarks made profound i'm
preston and were received with
frequent cheering, and remarks Of
approval.
