to me today that he was greatly inter

story about Senator Claude Swanson.
He had received an invitation to at

preached him upon the subject. In Il
conversation that followed. Senator
Swanson said that he had written to
those, who had invited him and stat

to serve. The brilliant speaker then
eulogized the Senator and expressed
himself as agreeing with him.
