You are the right man in the right place, and what's more, you come from the right place.” “You mean Alabama, Lire?” “What else could we mean? We realize how good it is of you to trudge your patient way up to Washington in order that Alabama's light may not be hid under the proverbial bushel and that her example may not perish from the earth.” “T'm not sure that I understand you, Lire.” “Oh, Senator, you are too modest. But we don’t mind explaining. We look at it this way: A man should not enter national public life until he has made a success of local political ac- tivities.
