Mr. Cannon will now say a few words. [Cheers and waving of napkins. ] |R. CANNON. Mr. Chairman, Mr. Toastmaster, and gentlemen, at this late hour of the night I can only say to you in concluding, as I apprehend, the exercises of the evening, that from my heart I thank you. I would be less than human if I failed to appre- ciate to the utmost extent the generous compli- ment you pay me by gathering here tonight. The words of confidence and good will which have fallen from the lips of the distingu...ished gen- tlemen who have spoken, beginning with the honored President of the United States and joined in by my colleagues of the House and Senate, have quite overcome me and almost bereft me of the power of speech. Service in the Congress of the United States demands labor and toil ; sometimes it involves misrepresentation and 81 abuse ; now and then it brings, mayhap, a heart- ache or the suggestion of pain; but if all these were multiplied a thousandfold there would still be balm for every injury and consolation for every regret in the friendships which are formed be- tween virile men, and so long as I live, no matter what may come to pass, whether fortune smiles or frowns, nothing can rob me of the priceless memory of the friends I have met and known and loved during a service of almost 40 years in the House of Representatives.
