side. For the personal tribute ] thank you heartily.
 But I want to thank you more for than any manifestation of
 regard for me is the demonstra-
 tion of loyalty to the party which it is my honor to have represented in office for eight years. Eight years, that is, to date.
 So the congratulations, which in the form of this dinner you have extended to me, I return in great CT measure to every man and woman who has worked or con-
 tributed in anyway to the success of the party in the past.
 I'll go a little farther and con- graduate you in advance on the same loyalty which you will prove in the future.
 Enemies He Has Made
 The toastmaster has mentioned the fact that I have made enemies. I'm glad some of them
 are enemies. In political as well as in private life I wouldn't want them for friends. But MT. Fitz- Patrick has mentioned only one type of enemy. There is another and more vicious kind. It is the individual for whom you have done a favor and whose enmity is proportioned by the size of the favor done. can truly say that the bitterest political enemies I enjoy are those who are under personal obligations to me for more than they are willing to re- member and which I am willing to forget. But so long as I have friends such as you are what do enemies amount to. Hatred dies with the passage of time. Real friendship lasts for always.
 But I'm not going to talk about enemies or enmities in a happy gathering like this. would not have mentioned the subject at all if the toastmaster hal not brought it up. He always starting some thing anyway. So take my advice and don't pay attention to him. I don't.
 Newspaper Attacks
 I might mention fault finding by the Republican and American because the administration hasn't gotten more work out of the un- ployed. They want the administra- tion to provide flunkies in uni- form to open automobile doors at the post office. They want the administration to furnish umbrel- la. holders at department store doors on rainy days. They want the administration to set up an employment bureau where you can get someone to take the dog out for walk at night. They want the administration to do every thing and anything it is not doing. But the thing that they want most is to get the administration out of office. All the rest is the bunk.
 Honest Criticism { The administration doesn't mind honest construction criticism, but welcomes it. It is not perfect and does not pretend to be. But we don't want criticism which is bas- ed on misrepresentation, ignor- ance, and malice. Nobody wants that or should get it. Neither should any administration be accused of going to do something which it never thought of doing. Take the question of the new street paving. We were accused of having settled the way in which the work was to be done before it had been decided upon at all or even considered in detail. We were going to use the paving work to strengthen our chances at the
