ges-ed by Gov. Beckham, it has been
a long struggle, bat it has been de-
lightful struggle. | know nothing that
gives a man more real satisfaction
than to feel that he stands for a cause
that can not die. Yes, it has been a
long struggle, tiresome at times and
tedious, but a reward We have won.

/ did not think could be happier than

do something for Republicans that

fore. | then Endorsed the veracity of
two Republicans who told the truth
about each other, and l thought l was

a different speech from that which you
will hear tonight.
Hopes Then; Realization Now.
They say We in politics say the
same things over and over. That is
partially true, but I have new
speech for you. / have never had a
chance to deliver this speech for You.
Heretofore | have fed you on hopes;
now | will stuff you with realization.
Heretofore / have told you what We
would do if you would just give us a
chance; and now l have come to tell
you that the half had not been told.
Why, that which has been accomplish
ed has exceeded the promises of the
party, and even the expectations of
the most sanguine of us.

back into history to find anything like
it. back thousands of years, and the
Holy Writ 1t is where the Red Sea
opened and allowed the children OF
of Israel to pass through. For did not
the Republican party divide in the cen
ter, and did not the Democratic Presi
dent march through?
And what a record he has made
Wonderful And he could not have
made it without a Democratic Senate
and a Democratic House.
The Presidents Labors.
This is not a one-man government
One man in the White House can dc
great things, and yet from the begin
ming to the end our constitution bears
! the impress of the idea of cO-opera

That is the beginning. And he can sign
/ the bill. That is the end. The Presi
| dents actions are the Alpha and
| Omega, but the rest of the alphabet is
in the Senate and the House. Unless
| the President has the Senate and the
House in sympathy with him, his
recommendations are in vain. Unless
| he has the Senate and the House t.
send him bills to sign, he waits per
/ in hand in vain. But, fortunately, the
| same tidal wave that carried our party
/ to the White House gave us substan
! tial majority in both the Senate and
| the House, and this President of our.
/ began work at once. According to the
constitution he had from March tt
. December to rest and look around
! But he did not need rest, and he die
! not care to look around. And so h
I lust called Congress together and KEEP
| Congress together. In all the nation:

been more busy while in session, fol

proposition ready to be considered
and working together. they have giveI

Elect Beckham and Camden.
desire first to emphasize the fact
and / desire you to bear in mind, as
nroceed. the fact, that the Preslden
could not have given you one single
act of remedial legislation had he no
had a Democratic Senate and House
and the further fact if after March
the Republicans have either the Sen
ate or the House, he can not after tina
date give you any other remedial leg

ried out, the only way to carry then
