to when Congress wll adjourn. but
there is little doubt but what the Cos

be the bitterest in many years.
Within a recent txn days two events

Within countless hearts there is felt
Deep gratitude to President Roosevelt,
Who through his works has shown
That the needs of the nation are known.
He has shown from the start
The inttrest deep in his heart,
In each plan carried through
Is for the masses and not just a few.
Striving always to alleviate
The suffering in each state.
He has clearly shown in all his deeds
He understands the common peoples needs.
God bless such a man as he
Who stands for justice and liberty,
Big of heart and broad of mind
"A servant of all mankind.
We pray thee grant him power
In this, his crucial hour;
To reach the goal he has in view
And see his dreams come true.
So each and every heart may feel
His country's principles are real.
And Aerica then shall be
Truly the land of liberty.
