Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Justin Smith Morrill: Centenary Exercises Celebrated by the State of Vermont at Montpelier April Fourteenth Nineteen Hundred and Ten in Honor of the Birth of Justin Smith Morrill Who Was for Twelve Years a Member of the House of Representatives and for Over Thirty Years an Uni Today is the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of the late Senator Justin S. Morrill, who for almost forty-four years represented the people of this State in the Congress of the United States. His services were of such a character as to give to Vermont an influence in the councils of the Nation far beyond anything commensurate with her size and population. He was a product of Vermont soil - rising from the humble position of a farmer´s son with only ordinary common school advantages to be one of the greatest leaders in the councils of the Nation. His success was not the result of accident of birth but was brought about by persistent, hard work, rugged honesty, and great common sense. To realize the caliber of the man it is only necessary for us to remember that Mr. Morrill was absolutely without legislative experience when he became the unanimous choice of his party to be their representative in Congress. Within ten years he was advanced through his various committee appointments to be chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Thirty-ninth Congress, and the leader of the House.
