Excerpt from Samuel W. McCall, Governor of Massachusetts

In reproducing extracts from the Congres sioual Record I have been in some doubt as to Whether I ought to retain the reporter's indica tions of Laughter and Applause. Since, however, it was not Governor mccall's custom to revise his remarks for publication, as is done by some members who insert these indications of approval at points where in their judgment their hearers should have risen to the occasion, I have concluded to let them stand. They are a part of the story and as such have some historic value. I am the more ready to do this since I find that Governor Mccall himself adopted this practice in his life of Speaker Reed.

Excerpt from Samuel W. McCall, Governor of Massachusetts

The notable career of Mr. McCall, extending over more than a generation, is a sufficient excuse for this biography. As a member of Congress he was a participant in several of the most important discussions of questions of governmental policy which have ever occurred in our history, and his utterances, both spoken and written, were based upon such extensive knowledge and were characterized by such logic of thought and fitness of literary expression as will insure them a high place in our political literature. In the preparation of this book I have made large use of them and have embodied numerous extracts from them in the narrative.

It is a distinguishing feature of Mr. McCall's speeches in Congress that for the most part they deal with subjects of permanent importance and continuing interest. No public man of the present generation has been more earnest in his defense of the principle of our system of distributed power.
