Virginia be signally honored for the
grant of land to the United States that

The Vice President asserted that the
only places in which the conversation of
Indianans was not listened to with re-
spect were places where only money
talked. He maintained that the only
people who sneered at Indiana were those
who We're laughing at their forefathers
and their high ideals. or who recently
had drawn their green trunks up the
gang plank at Ellis Island"
The pulse beat of Indiana will tell
whether there is fever or ague in the
blood of the nation" according to Mr..
Marshall That the one thing worthy of
America was proper regard for the
of the Vice President.

not touched upon questions of national
interest and importance
