results which stand landmarks the progress Of the race
They always swift bu they intended always be right
Their judgment and example should be forgotten We
should remember that the conspicuous always great high
places do always make great the sound
always the and the landscape may painted on
the firm belief that the problems which dhearten
us will be decided right Political questions may go by
mheeded but the problems confronting involve the elements
Of honesty and fair play These questions
by conscience and education These together likely
astray
Mr. President the widely education spreads the dependent
the general Leading others is helpful
Illuminate the way that without leading they may walk
We have both methods tried The quality of leadership
depends upon the may by or worst
and he has character force the choice of followers in his
hands
CONSPICUOUS example of intelligent direction
public dy state has the honor present him for popular
examination Few blind they his example
foods the country with confidence and hope The best will
follow those who lead the best
crowd and then goes with it
His supremacy will last only while the blood up When

only last while he keeps ahead he stops he swallowed
the gulf and join the havoc and destruction he loose
little what you call the flood Its destrucvenes will

And shall these be taken expressing his opinion? No
The result Of his emotions is opinion
But when sobeed by responsibility guided by study and reflection
normal and unexced he reaches conclusion that is his opinion
formed the crowd but alone 1t from the heav

intelligence
Boast loudly they may while the up who

when it the result is already fixed
what public opinion till the flood subsidies and
the land appears rushing may express is
President discriminating OF this great country be
depended and those who shape their according that truth

On this reliance base my confidence for it will be sad day for
the Aenrcan people they discard the words In God We Trust
and adopt the motto, After me the deuge."
