Mr. Patman Said ...
“The door of hope should not be closed in the face
of young manhood of our country by letting our Coun-
gressman inherit the office. Why are you educating
your boys? Are they not entitled to an equal chance
in life? Should there not be room at the top for them?
“Any Congressman who has been in office so long
should either try to go higher or get down and give
somebody else a chance. Even a President of the Unit-
ed States does not ask to hold that office longer than
eight years.”
