honored me, l am glad to report prog
ress 1t has been my privilege to sign
sign the document which concluded the
twenty years contest for the popular
election of senators and added to the con-
stitution the amendment making this
change. The signing of treaties is the
most pleasant of my tasks No peace
plan has ever before received such immei
date and widespread approval as that
which was last year offered to all the
nations. TIL governments which have all
ready accepted the principle represent
more than three-fourths of the population
of the world. Thirteen treaties have been
signed. four more have been authorized
and some eight governments are now
considering the details. 1t seems prob
able that within one year from the day
when the peaceproposal was authorized
by the president fully one-half the people
Of the globe will be linked to us by treat
les which will provide for a years inves-
tigation before war can be declared by
either of the contracting parties.
Praise for Speakers.
But l cannot in the brief spoace of a
letter set forth all the reforms accom-
plished by this administration. and the
presence Of your distinguished guests
makes 1t unnecessary to do So Governor
Folk, Governor Cox Senator Robinson
and Governor Morehead are all to tell
you what has been done thus far and to
interpret the party's pledges as applied
tn the future. Governor Folk has for
years been a leader among the progress
sive democrats of the nation; Governor
| Cox. although in executive office but
little more than a year, has already
earned a place in the front rank of re-
formers, and Senator Robinson is a pillar
OF strength to our party in that body.
You are familiar with the good record
made by your own governor. | am
grateful to these gentlemen for attending
the dinner and nevy you the opportunity
You have of hearing them. lo.s.
In view of the triumph of the princi-
pies and policies for which the democracy
OF Nebraska has contended for so many
years / beg to offer. as my contribution
to your intellectual feast, a very appro-
pirate sentiment expressed in most felici-
tous language by James Russell Lowell:
" Get but the truth once uttered. and
1t is like a new star barn, that drops
into its place, and which, once circling
In its placid round, not all the tumult Of
the earth can shake"
