Gamers Address Snort.
Vice President Garner in his first ut
terance as presiding officer Of the SEN
ate set a good example to that body
for brevity. Instead Of delivering long
inaugural speech, the veteran former
member of the House uttered scarcely
more than 100 words of plain, friendly
greeting to his new associates. He said:
Senators, this is my first and pos
sibly may be my last opportunity to
address the Senate. I am particularly
anxious to ingratiate myself into your
favorable consideration Knowing from
some observation the disposition of the
Senate not to discuss any matter unless
consideration, I deem It inappropriate
to say more than that I come as your
presiding officer to cooperate, to be
helpful, to do the best can to help
you conduct the proceedings of the
Senate.
In carrying out that idea which
have, shall forego saying more than
that am happy to be over here, I am
happy to meet you all and glad Of the
opportunity to get better acquainted
with Senators"

after the prayer by the Senate chap
lain, Rev. Re Barney T. Phillips.
