see just where We are coming out But
/ am cossidEnt in the end the measures
viii approve themselves. The troubles
we most fear are those that never come.
The measures we promised ought TO be
adopted, not because they viii give us
political strength, but because they are
right And if they. are right the peopie
will find them to be right, and that is
the best politics in the end.
The President referred TO the measures
he hoped Congress would adopt at this
session in the following order:
The bill amending the interstate COM
merce law.
..The bin for postal savings banks.
1.-THE anti-intunction bill.
''The statehood bill.
1.-THE conservation bills"
Responsible for Party.
After he had explained briefly the pro-
visions of these measures, the President
continued: Zone great difficulty about
being President. and assure you there
ere q great many of them. Is. he is the
titulsr head of the party and Is made re-
spOnsible for the laws adopted by the
marty. although he has nothing more to
do with them than recommendation az
the beginning and the power OF veto at
the end. He is held responsible for the
promises made by the party.
"And If in his enthusiasm and desire 10

If 1t We're not government OF parry, we
might as well go out of the government

ssHow are you going to give expression
TO the varying views or S0sovOOVO OF peo-
pie and put them into the 2orn OF lesls--
iation to be agreed upon by majority OF
YOUR representatives and senators unless
YOU organize parties to select those rep
resentatives and senators and agree Win
in the party to subordinate your less ma
teriaI predictions and opinions in favor
of certain fundamental principles OF I'M
proyement, in order TO advance when
you are willing TO sacrl1lce all less III
portant matters
Therefore you have to have what is
known on the football field as team
work And the party has to get to-
rether-the aims on one side and the
extremes on the other-and both must
sacrifice something OF their individual
views and get the thing through and
that Is what 1 am hopeful our con-

Differ as to Details.
THAT they may differ on details OF
the various bills is to be expected. But
