The train was almost two hours

tiently. Many were democrats

the glory of America and the
glory of civilization, these names
stand first" Henry Clay he de-
scribed as "the matchless old
kentuckian,' y who had contribut-
ed much to the progress and pros
perity of the young republic.
Clay knew" he said, in refer
ring to his championing protec-
tion to home industries and to his
going abroad to assist in negotiat-
ing terms of peace after the war
of 1872, that America was not
isolated. He knew that America
was a part of the great world
brotherhood, working out along
its own independent lines the well
fare of mankind and from the
signing of that treaty of peace in
December, 1914, which he helped
to negotiate, the world knew that
there had grown up upon the
American continent a power that
could not be ignored. And the
world knew, too, that here was a
country to which they could turn
for sympathy in distress. for aid
i'll trouble and for justice when
wrongly assailed."
The art of craftsmanship with
Washington, Lincoln and CLAY,
the speaker said, was the preser-
vation of the liberties of the peo-
pie and the promotion of their
welfare and prosperity. The sure
guerdon of their liberties was the
Constitution, an orderly govern
ment was the guarantee OF their
welfare, and wise, Americanized
industrial policy was the safe
guard of their prosperity"
