was another Of the Roosevelt type-leaders
OF the public conscience.
There was much doing when the Cover
nor was introduced. After the hullabalOo

Il do not come here as the Governor,
but as a member of the Delta Epsilon fra
ternity. l have no observations TO make
about politics. l do not intend To eNhort
you or TO ask you for your support. 90

political Significance. | simply want 20

joice in the common bond.

years. II Delta y should be taken out OF
my life, tell you there wouldn't be many
things left worth while" Applause;
Without disparagement to other college
fraternities," said the Governor. think
first OF the democracy OF every Delta
chapter ever had TO do with. With them
it is the man that counts. The man who
works his way through college IS not looked
down upon. The question of family or
riches is never considered. Delta U has
sought always to get the best men, the men
who have accomplished good work In some
college activity. II there is anything COM
ing into our college life Of to-day that we
need to guard against IL is the snghtesi
suggestion OF snobbishnesS. lApplaGse.
The Governor said he didn't mean TO IN
days, and looked down at middle aged
man at one of the small tables. Il would
give this man a good deal Of money, SAID
he, mot to tell of some of the good umes
we did have .aughter and applause "a.

Senator Owen Cassidy surprised tne s
Delta u men by a speech which appeared
to be more or less of reflection on the
Governor, and which contained number
OF things that sounded like sarcastic nlngs
at Gov. Hughes. When the diners woke
up to il, they didn't let Senator Cassidy
finish lot Of things he started to say.
They interrupted constantly with cheers
for the Governor. Gov. Hughes had left
when Senator Cassidy mode his speech.
Our Lawyers in Politics. was the toast
to which Cassidy responded.
The need OF the country, ne sald' is

Then the Interruptions came thick and
fast. The Delta U men, surprised, waited
"A few moments and then started cheering
for Hughes. Cassidy kept right on talking.
Il believe that no man is 80 great as TO
supersede the thought and intelligence OF
every other man in the Empire State. Any
man of the character and scholarship OF
our Governor invites that every thought
that falls from his lips may be brought
into criticism. ! want no man TO be an
echo of myself. No thought ever dropped

The rest couldn't be made out because
Senator Cassidywas drowned out by another
outburst of cheering for the Governor and
a clamor If voices.
Il believe in the Governor OF this state,
said Cassidy, presently. More yells,l Il

gence. but no words emanating from his
lips can carry with them any infallible

Cassidy once more.
The last words of Cassidy's speech were
indistinct and few Iersons could make out
what he was talking about.
