an. o. SEYMOUR, PRESIDENT
Guy D. Goff, 81, former United
States district attorney, was among
the speakers. He said, in part:
"You have the. sterling quality Of
self assertion, the saving factor OF
humor.. You know what culture Is,
what true manhood is, and what 10y
atty means. Yours is the obligation
to be the first to stand by your coun-
try and your flag, to glory in the
achievements OF your .sires, and to
honor and treasure the things that
brought our fathers here, and In which
they found liberty. justice and peace.
Urges Americanism. s.
''You remember the message that
Patrick Henry sent from Virginia to
Massachusetts when he heard of Con-
cord and Lexington: i am not vir-
gilman; am an American citizen, SO
today we are not Democrats or Repub-
licans. but Americans looking forward
to a future whose possibilities stagger
all conjecture. to q common destiny
that soothes all doubts and satisfies
the widest misgivings. n
Eve believe In the United States Of
America. We are one people, because
in our hearts, We reckon men for what
they are, not for what they have. We
back the republic of our fathers
against the world, and because JUS
tice is greater than power, we believe
the tears and hopes OF our sacred
dead, shall live to scatter the riches
o! human liberty to races yet unborn,
and advance the cause OF civilization,
that law and order, freedom and peace
the real needs Of humanity, may al
ways be preserved.r IS
