 Our governmental good fortune- h said. does not lie in any surrender . either end of the avenue. but in tbe cc ordination and cooperation which be comes the two in great and truly TOT resentative popular government. We ar facing no easy task. l am sure that tb necessity of wise solution will insnirs n to work together. to take common cour sel. 10 Dc tolerant of one another and f give the best that is in all of us"
