IN THE JEFINTERSONIAN CLUB Mr. O'Gara is called on for a speech of a non-partisan char- acter. He holds a tight rein on his political passions while deliver- ing the following: Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen: It is with feelings of unmixed pride that I address you tonight in the capacity of a Ieffersonian democrat.
