ably. and he makes no secret of the
fact that he will welcome the oppor-
tunity TO retire from public life when
his term In the senate expires two
years hence.
For many years. until falling health
compelled him 10 curb his activities.
Senator Depew was one OF the fore
most figures In American public life.
He was undoubtedly the greatest az
ter-dinner orator In the United States.
As a lawyer he stood for years at
the head OF the New York bar. and
as attorney for the vanderbilts and
other great corporations he held his
own against such men as Roscoe
Conkling. William II. Evarts. David
Dudley Field and other great legal
llgths OF the metropolis.
As president OF the New York CEN

twice to the United States senate and
once declined the request of the Re

name put before the national conven-
tion as a candidate for the presiden.

Senator Depew has been the orator
on three great national and Internat-
ional occasions-the unyeiling of the
Statue OF Liberty in New York har-

OF President Washington

Kennedy what authority the legIsIa-
