Tonight no decision had been reached by the senators inter ested, although action on the nomi. nation of successor to Genera Cronkhite still was being withheld at the request of Senator Glass, dem- ocrst, Virginia, in whose state the Eighteth division trained.

MT. Fall made some observations on public life and of conditions confronting the United States, emphasizing that he was making the observations from the advantageous position of one who was retiring voluntarily
 At the same time he read a mes sage from President Harding ex- pressing to the organization the chief executives expression of per sonal regards and giving the "as- surance of my continuing interest in the welfare of the great industry which is represented by the conven- ton"
 Secretary Fall in his address said T confess to a grateful sense of sat- isfaction as I contemplate my ap- preaching political demise
 T have spent a considerable share Of my life in one sort or another of political service, and have no dispo sition now to pretend that I have not enjoyed it. 1 am convinced Of the genuine attractions which are offered by the public service to one who is willing to take it's career on the terms our present day political life makes possible
 A good many years of more or less philosophical observation of pub lie life has gone far to convince me that your public man is likely to be appreciated just about as much as he deserves, and as rule con siderably less than he thinks he de- serves. On the whole, l have con siderable confidence in the rough Justice of public verdicts on public servants and their careers. | am not sure that this philosophy will be completely satisfactory to the large ana lugubrious community of lame ducks"
