And. Your. Car from. The chief was taken by Thomas they have money and I don't have hope for the right using my. Home being played by Jerry Daly and Obama transportation and just. One guy. Below believe that on the. Spot. But. Not like. Is important. For all those icons is they play. Because. As. If. I. Do it. With. Well. Let's see by the papers. And. How they go. It will visit. The this is. What. We. Call. No. I really don't know. I don't know you're a man of letters. But I am. The questioner. By the way you didn't write right. I was going to write gentleman's agreement but I don't know any gentleman. Oh it's a pleasure young lady. By the way the young lady. This. That's. Right Hell I have no input or any. Of the good this is the wrong was wrong that this is a topic then rubbish I'll go to. The police in the. Lab but. What I find on the. Other. That's the maximum bookmaking. We call the Irish. OLD WOMAN. They were. Called they came in here to get some calls but I think. That. Was really slick. From the signs as they were passed and someone that when I saw assassins was a good. We. Was a great we call the. Automatic band and Virgo loud and. Every time they stopped Polly Jordan Irish name like probably was the one you wouldn't have her. Say monster. Not only one good because about Amy Even Vince same salary claimed he was gone and chattery was a pretty good. Story. That was jolly good. I can see a man came to dinner the guest of honor is that killing him on. Ladies and gentlemen we take him to the Jefferson Jackson Dinner in Washington D.C. where President Truman is addressing an overflow gathering of solidly united Democrats Balazs a opinion. From all over the country. From. An Alabama. South Carolina and Georgia. Governor talk. Senator Johnson it is a pleasure for me to witness your rapt attention. To what I have had to say. As I look into your faces I am thrilled beyond Omega hope by your presence in. Response to my address your attendance at this dinner proves to me that you will add here to the great traditions of our party and go forward on the principles set forth by such a model Democrats as it arose well. And by the other good democratic presidents we have elected over the years such as off the field Hayes Grover Cleveland Alexander. Jefferson Davis Adams Tutti Frutti gum. Vacuum cleaners Joseph C. Lincoln Stonewall Jackson and our sodding Boulevard. Not to mention hone Munro's and Franklin Pierce our own what we should all had done this occasion gentleman Cody is founder of our country President the first great president for instance. First in peace or Easter not to his countryman Booker T. Washington. That was acting the man who came to dinner. Nine days. Where I come. Home. Where. I wanted. On a. Waiting line. That. Yes sure. What it. And you. Play my child's. Play My Mommy call. My. Brain. And. The like. A nominee on the Republican ticket the president having a. National Convention the. Democrat. Be the candidate. To be. If. I own. Not. The nominee. Like I used to be. They don't make it. One. MARY. Twice and. That's. The very. Distinguished. Finds to go. Through that. Made me. Afraid of the nice lady. Then the money gets and the songs that were enacted here tonight I think were in part of this audience very impossibly certainly not political and partisan where. Minor and actors I noticed the ladies and the men because they were lovely is certainly worth talented and very oppressed However I want to write not direct I want you to know that the state and city well set up often do not hand out the type of men you saw on the ladies of the card tonight the kind where you hand out the parents. I kind of like that ad about the Long Island Railroad and I'm certain that if marrow Dwyer had seen that he would have thoroughly enjoyed it through I think the inner circle has broken the president tonight because it's the first time and thirty years that the members of the inner circle have admitted that another railroad and not the city transit system was the worst runway allowed in America I'm inclined to think that the recent threat of the brides and grooms line to the land of the American. Company where they live the new look of the subway cars that are about to be played and operate because that's change of attitude on the part of the membership of the Guinness are not yet a moment first serious note I know that we all miss the presence of Merrill's learn and I. Certainly don't feel qualified to make the observations that he would if he were here in person. All of the members of the inner circle certainly. But. The members of the. Senate leave for the boys and with me every day of the week I have been up for the night talk the merits of the telephone and. Gotten along very nicely and. Made it very for the members of the circle and there's a very large audience there very kindly got. Out of. There hear. This audience complete. The show and I'm all. For the recording will be done to the mayor and California and. Once. We. Found one. So. The night then for. Reporting. For you and I can attempt to turn the table down the Mayor or recording will. For one of them. Take it off the rock. I want to thank you Marty I'm a member of the beginner circle for giving me this opera feel that they stand on this platform tonight to represent America where I want to know that I appreciate it thank you for thank. You very much. Now. Master of the Long Island daily press S. W making its way. To the platform. This is a very rare and. I don't. My own. Three of. The inner circle. Back. When they ever encumbered the platform with the president of a governor. Perhaps that was. By way of illustrating that the governor in fact. Suggested an encumbrance to the city of New York which it might well do without. Fact rather suggested that. The mayor governor of the forty ninth state many of the problems that evaporate. That should be delighted and all of them over to such an individual. Dick I assure you that I will be happy to do my best to learn to smile better but not to the extent of looking like Henry Wallace. For I was delighted to learn the mystery for the first time tonight of who Henry boss really is. Has been well concealed up to now. And I was also glad to know that he was a blank and always had been but I was very glad that it was not my party that nominated him and elected him president or vice president of the United States. We're meeting in a very in a very happy time in very grim times and I suppose there is no one in the room who doesn't have the feeling of overhanging overpowering shadow behind none of us who has lived through the catastrophic events of recent years can enjoy the dinner without a slight feeling that there's something missing at the dinner or something missing which is very grave and very serious there is a sense. Missing is a sense that we can be sure that we shall continue to enjoy the privilege we have for night this is almost the only fun free let you know all the world where those of us who run for office or a whole office can come and join our fellow citizens and laughing at ourselves almost the only country left. Where we are expected to last. And where it's healthy to poke fun at those who run the government. It's a dreadful thing to think of the area in which those basic fundamental simple human rights has narrowed. Just in the twelve months since we met in this room it's now. By reason of a deep powerful malignant force spreading over country after country spreading by reason of circumstances most of which are beyond them. And yet we all know as we sit here at the second stop and we stop. We notice the chance to laugh at ourselves and too precious to the we know that we have here something which is more precious than any country ever had before we know that on a certain date. By the Constitution or by the law we can get rid of anybody we got in public office and get somebody else and that is the most wonderful feeling in the world we have an unexamined once Adeline's we have the right to get rid of it to change it to experiment with it and so long as we have that we'll be able to keep the things that are nearest and dearest. To all of it and Republicans and Democrats alike we're all united in one deep underlying conviction. That is that it doesn't make any difference what party you belong to but we know that every one of the going to be standing shoulder to shoulder in the difficult months and years ahead are political decisions made there are political battles to be fought and I think that in times like these we can be sure they will be fought about but only the interests of America in the hearts of those who represent our country and Dr great parking and most of the interests of the and. Freedom fans in greater peril today and perhaps every. I'm very sorry indeed that if the absence of the mayor would fund the bill for my being invited here if we had in the case I don't recall when we've had a mayor then. But. The hope of everybody in the audience in the city of New York and I. Get it. Already feeling better every day the way. Oh I love them in fact. When he lets. Go. Well. I mean that.
