raft sang his "swan song" as chic
Executive Of the Nation tonight.
As the guest of the Lotus Club
the President responded to the toast
THE President" in a speech which
many of his hearers considered the
most remarkable he has ever made.
He shifted from grave to gay and
from philosophy which he said four
years in the White House had
taught him, to a discussion Of prob
lens which lace the nation.
He laughed at the outcome of the
election; smiled when he spoke OF
some of the plans of President. elect
Wilson, and touched with gentle
sarcasm William Jennings Bryan.
In his serious moments the Presi-
dent earnestly advocated the adj
mission to the halls of Congress oil
members of Presidents cabinent;
declared that six-year term in the
Presidency was enough for any man;
advocated strongly the placing in
the civil service of practically every
officer in the government service,
and limited broadly that Congress
should provide for ex-Presidents so
that they need not lower their dig
nifty Of the position they have held
when they enter into private life.
His chief regret, the President
said, was shat he had been unable
to influence the United States Senate
to ratify the arbitration treaties
with France and Great Britain.
In spite OF that defeat he asked has
audience to believe that he would
leave Office with the dee pest graft
eude to the American people for the
honor they had given him and with
the belief that enough progress had
been accomplished in his admins
tratiou to warrant him feeling
that he had done real good for his
country.
His humorous references to the
burdens of the White House, to his
successor and to Mr.. Bryan brougt
forth round after round of applause.
The President closed his speech
with toast to his successor.

distinguished and patriotic gentle
man who is to be"-and he raised
his glass while his hearers rose to
their ieet-"the next President OF
