Rapids, Iowa, mine has been a
glorious administration"
Incoming President Thorn
was introduced by Past Pres
ident Thomas w. Brahany,
who noted that Mr.. Lodge had
never planted, never cultivated,
never harvested, in fact had
never even seen a crop of grow
ing alfalfa"
Mr.. Thorn said. upon accept
ing the top post:
"As I strolled to this podium
with my distinguished escort.
and looked over the sea of black
ties and stiff shirts, I could not
help but wonder. Wonder was
the struggle all worth while?
Could I justify to my better
nature the gouging, biting,
clawing, and trampling of
friend and foe alike. that leads
inevitably to the Alfalfa presi-
dency?"
At the conclusion of the
banquet. Mr.. Thorn proposed
the clubs only toast: THE
President of the United States"
Both President Eisenhower
and former President Harry S..
Truman are members of the
