Time and development of events
have Reinforced the earnest conI
victions then possessed by me that
the United States promptly should
have ratified the Treaty aNl en-
tered the League of Nations.
Harmony With President Wilson
There is no part of my public
life in which | take more pride than
in the eight years | served in the
Senate of the UniteG States and
was in thorough accord with Pres
ident Wilson, following his incom-
parable leadership in the achieve
ment of the many things which
make his administration one of the
most notable in the history of our
country. For beneficial things act
ually accomplished, for wise, con-
structive legislation enacted, for
difficult problems ably solved, for
Herculean tasks well performed, for
heavy burdens bravely borne, his
administration stands unsurpassed.
] am proud to have co-operated with
enthusiasm in the work of a Demo-
cratic majority under the splendid
leadership of the late lamented Sen
ator Thomas S. Martin, in sustain
ing President Wilson and his poll
cies.
1t so happened that during the
period of preparation for Americas
participation in the World War, and
during the progress of the war it.
self the Democracy Of the nation
was in control of both Houses of
Congress. As Chairman and Acting
Chairman Of the Senate Committee
on Naval Affairs, ana as a member
of the Committee on Foreign At
fairs, it was my privilege and
pleasure to uphold to the fullest ex-
tent Of my strength every effort put
forth by President Wilson and our
Government to secure an early and
decisive victory. The unparalleled
achievements of the Army and Navy
of the United States in this war,
winning a decisive victory years be-
fore one was anticipated are proof
that tremendous labors and respon-
sibilities were borne by those who
were in control of the government,
and had to prepare the necessary
plans and legislation, and I am
proud to have had part in this i'm
portant and burdensome duty /
believed then, and | believe now
that constructive efforts were more
to be desired than destructive crit
icism, and supported President Will
sons administration and the coun-
try with my whole soul. 1t was a
time for action. not quibbling, It
was time to sustain the War Pres
ident, not to discredit him by criti-
cism and dissension.

Conclusion

There are many other important
matters which, if space would per-
nit, could present TO you. but my
position upon these is either dis
closed by my record. or made G. r
and distinct by previous st
mentS.
have stood at all times for what
I believed to be right and for tna
best interests of my State and Ma
ton. ! have adhered to the tt4.4~-
mental principles of the Demo-
cratic Party. to my party platforms,
promises and pledges. have en-,
deavored to make my public life add
TO the moral, material and educa-
tional advance Of my State and
Nation. | have voted to expel those
Senators whose seats | believe
were obtained by a corrupt or ex-
cessive expenditure of money. PIT
lie Office must be obtained by me-
not by money. I have given 'H.
sparingly my time. my energ
and my abilities to the service ~
the people of my State. This has
been a service Of love, which s
lesscned many OF its worries. re-
duced many of its burdens. Ny ex-
perience, my acquaintance, my i'm
portant committee assignments. my
position as a member of tho Demo
cratic Steering Committee, which
largely controls and directs the
policy Of the Democratic Party in
the Senate will enable me to render
in the future still more effective
service.
If my record meets with the ap-
Droval of the Democratic Voters Of
Virginia, if they find that my SER
vice has been satisfactory, if they
endorse the measures | have favored
as Congressman. Governor and SEN
ator, if they concur with the policies
| have herein presented, it would
be most gratifying to me for them
to evince their appreciation by SUD-
norting me for denomination in the
Democratic Primary to be held Au-
gust the first.
