"Before I came I was put under heavy obligations, which relieved me of much of the responsibility of mak ing committee appointments. From the experience of the last 40 days' I am convinced that if I had it to do over again it would be only by chang ing the rules, having sixty ways and meajis committees and making each of you chairman of one. "I realize I have made many mis takes and I think you will give me the credit of thinking they were hon est mistakes. "In thanking you for this token, I must remark that my belief is that the best In the world one can have is the love and esteem of his fellow men.
