He was equipped for his task by
inheritance and training which we're
completely and typically American, '
Mr.. Hughes said. "He was neither
helper nor hamepered by exceptional
environment. He suffered enither from
poverty nor riches. His endowment
was a keen mind and strong body.
Alert to opportunity, self-reliance
and facile and warm hearted he
made his own way, owing his success
TO his tireless persistence and his
unquenchable ardor in Lying things.
Mr.. Hughes said it was fitting that
official tribute should be paid to the
memory Of President but that the
Significance of the gathering today
was far deeper than that.
1T is a tribute inspired by love of
country as laying aside the differ
ences and controversies which seem
trivial in the face of mans adven-
lures and Gods Providence, we stand
united in indissoluable bonds of COM
mon patriotism knowing we'll that
republics cannot endure"
