more certain you yeu will become of the clarity of ot his mind the depth of 01 his thought and the soundness sound sound- ness neu o of ot his judgment f There Is no real statesmanship without these qua qualities My function Is to present the man The emphasis must be just there He Ee is not a superman and would be the last to think so There There ls Is not nota a ace tl-ace trace of show or ostentation about him Wm for he does nothing merely for tor appearance He may may maybe be an example but he would never set one His quiet qu t unobtrusive and nd natural way of of doing doing things

plain simple virtues vIrtues of our citizens at their best Yet ret tills this Is not all If IVf It be said that he hels Is rarely comm common It must also aiso be known that he Is nobly uncommon n. n A great man is always simple and di dl- About this man there is something something something some some- thing elemental He can see Into the heart of things He knows that every person has a soul and that the greatest greatest greatest great great- est thing about America is her spirit He never ne lacks dignity The office he occupies Is exalted for when he performs performs per per- forms a public
