Capitolo 50
Oregon, the Mr. Roosevelt elected from Illinois or Pennsylvania President,
Taft from Utah or Vermont. They represents better evidently existing
the feelings and the idealses that prevail in those communities; because, then,
if theirs didn't have to express those feelings and ideals in ours taller
parliamentary room?
As you respect our House of Representatives, it is able at the beginning both the
same. I don't desire to go to the rational base of that known as which is
proportional representation, neither I have time so to do; but, it was it in
my power, I would prescribe to-tomorrow that in expectancy the national House
of Representatives you/he/she should be constituted on the proportional one basis,--the
representatives' choice to be from States, but, as you respect the
candidates' nomination, disrespectful of lines of district. As many
others, I am very tired of provincial nobodies, the "good men" known locally
being this way!
As I have already said, under control parliamentary all depend in the
ends on the really representative character of the legislative body. If
that is as you/he/she should be, the rest certainly follows. The objective of
Aristotle is reached.
Exceeding the limits assigned to him, my discussion has, however,
wide too far. I have to close. One puts in words doing so before. Because I am here?
I am here,--a man that exceeds notably in age the assigned threescore
and ten--to deliver a communication, is the value of the same greater or less.
Me very I fear that I/you/he/she am less. However, I would impart the lessons of a
extension of experience on sixty years,--the results of such observation
as my intelligence has trained me to practice. I do so, addressing
me to a local institution of the advanced education. Because? Because,
looking at the country diagnosing his/her conditions as my,
ability trains me, while observing the evolution of the past and
foreseeing, in as far as me I am able, the consequence, I am convinced that the
future some country remains more greatly in the hands of this way
