 Let it be recorded that Jackson was man who did things, and in this generation of time servers and trimmers that individual is becomin 2. too rare," Governor Peay declared, He breathed into our institutions a new and enduring vitality. He smote his enemies with an unsparing hand. No high station could save them, He put his policies into everlasting eff feet.
 How this country does need an- other birth of straightforward pol itics of the Jacksonian kind" the speaker said. "A modern platform is a cook book of political recipes. Each plank Is gesture of appeal to some group or class. The result is a waning confidence in all parties and growing unrest and disturbance among the people. It will be a great day when some leader shall appear who will, with an arm of iron and a heart gof oak, restore truth, order ana courage to our political system"
