SENATOR PERKY PRESIDES.
Senator X. /. Perky ably presided
at the meeting and prior to the arrival
OF Senator Gore spoke On the work of
the Democratic congress and received
applause on several occasions when he
cited Democratic accomplishments. In

treat that he knew they had in store
and declared that Senator Gore had
taken a most able part in the putting
through the progressive measures OF
the Democratic administration and had
been a close advisor and personal
friend of President Wilson.
Senator Gore was greeted with ap-
plause upon his first appearance and
, opened his talk with a few witty
stories. He soon began to talk in deep
earnestness, however, and spoke in
part as follows:
Fellow citizens, ladies and gentle
men, I am deeply grateful to you for
this most kindly, this most cordial re-
ception. l feel greatly flattered by the
presence Of this splendid audience. l
am also grateful to my valued and dis
tinguished friend and former colleague.
your valued and distinguished citizen.
for this very kindly presentation.
am deeply sensible of the high compli-
ment with which he has been pleased
to present me to this great audience
and am equally sensible that am in
debted to the generosity Of his heart
and to the Partially of his friendship
for these kindly words, rather than to
my own deserts or even to any pre-
tense of mine. ! can only say. in ac-
acknowledgement that my gratitude is
equal to his generosity. l appreciate
the fact that he referred to me as a
<citizen of the west although in this
great republic the central states are
but separate chambers m the paternal
mansion, in all of which we are each
and all at home.
Speaking of introductions reminds
me not long since Imhad the pleasure of
addressing the Boston Chamber of
Commerce. The presiding officer had
good deal to say in presenting me,
about my coming from the west, COM
ing from the far west, coming from a
state west of the Mississippi, coming
from a state situated in the heart of
the great and golden west, and he
dwel upon this western" business
groa. deal more than the occasion ac-
tually demanded, although not more
than my pride justified. So, when
came to acknowledge his compliment,
told those people down east to their
faces that they of the east had laid a
good deal of flattering unction to their
souls on account of the fact that the
wise men OF old came out of the east;
and L told them, too, that we of the
west had laid a good deal Of JUNCTION to
our souls on account of the fact that
the wise men of old went west, and
that from that ancient day to this wise
men had been following their example.
or course, ! need not add that the wis
est Of the wise settled In Idaho-my
Idaho.
Now, ! am especially grateful to the
ladies for gracing this occasion with
their presence and inspiration to me-
an inspiration to any speaker; but 1t
Is unnecessary to shower compliments
