One hears from every side that
much of the credit for his tre-
mendous victory is due to the
gentle speaking woman whose gray
eyes narrow and soften with the

This is a mighty happy day for
me-" she said. smiling up at her
two fine sons.
Stick to Cause.
I'VE always knew it had to come
some day. Mr.. La Toilette de-
served 1t but a great many people
don't live to see themselves vindi-
Gated. / think that the lessons in
his career is just that-if you feel
your cause Is right and you stick
to 1t no matter what comes, even
II you do not accomplish your
end. then you have made a success
of your undertaking.
Eventually. right will triumph
Our lives might have been very diff
ferent II Mr.. La Toilette had not al
ways felt that one day the country
would accept his viewpoint. People
have said to me. I don't know how
you lived through those day OF the
war when Mr.. La Toilette was ac-
cused of being disloyal' and un-
American. when he was ostracized
from society l lived through them
because We knew we were right.
II knew his aims and ideals and
purposes. knew he took the
stand he believed to be right and
best for the country and / felt
sure God would take care of US.
That is why could live through
1t. I knew there was no better
American alive. Thank God we
have all lived to see him recog.
nized and honored."

when she spoke of those days, but
she blinked them away and asked
me to write this:
