It was they who chafed most of all under the yoke of one-man government at Washington, and saw at glance the misty shadow of super-government at Geneva. It was they who remain ed true to our government under the Constitution, and to foreign policy in keeping with the doctrine of the farewell address and its corollary, the Monroe doctrine. It was they who Senate to resist every effort to eliminate that body from its consti- tutional partnership with the Presi- dent in the making of treaties. All these vital things ''the plain people of the land" saw with a clear eye, and in a ringing voice they have ren- hdered their verdict. To them the .na- ! tion chiefly owes it's release from the l yoke of one-man government; by them the ghost of super-government has been laid.
