Despite the fact that he belongs
to what we think of as the “wrong
political party.” we are always
pleased to see U S Senator E L
4 Bob) Bartlett when he comes to
town ... To us the word “poli
tician" has an extremely unpleas
ant meaning because of some “poli
ticians" we have known ... We
cannot think of Senator Bartlett as
a “politician." When talking with
him one feels that Bob Bartlett ^is
z man who Li sincere and dedicated
to his work_A man in whom one
can place faith and trust . .. Too.
Bob Bartlett is one of the few after
dinner speakers who can hold our
interest, without creating intense
boredom ... In fact we have al
ways enjoyed listening to him in
the past, and will look forward to
bearing him in the future!...
