GOV. HUBBABD's REMARKS.
Mr.. President and Gentlemen OF the National
Catholic Total Abstinence Union:
1t gives me great pleasure to welcome to
the state the delegates to this convention. We
are proud to receive sou in the capacity
IN which you appear among us.
Minnesota is always glad of an opportunity
TO show her hospitality. She is especially
glad in this instance by its exercise, to show
her appreciation of the great principle which
you gentlemen, in your organized capacity as
well as personally, represent. The great good
your society has done in the past, and the
| promise it gives Of greater good in the future
| 10 its reformatory influence upon your fellow
| men, comments your purposes and your
efforts To the good wishes of all citizens
| of the state. However much men
May differ in their theories of
temperance reform all must admit that total
abstinence meets the question in practical
| way. l am proud to say that Minnesota
| bears evidence of the good work you are do
| ing. Many communities of our state testify
| in the changed and elevated social and material
condition of its members, of the great good,
| the tireless efforts of Bishop Ireland and his
co-workers have wrought in the reformation
the Catholic Total Abstinence society for their
redemption from degradation and for their re-
Mobilization as men. la homes rescued from
ruin; in families saved from desolatiOn and
despair, the name and precepts of your order
are honoT IGNORE and and. revered. Realiz.
efforts of your society, it is eminently proper
Minnesota should welcome you cordially on
| this occasion. In behalf of the state, there
| fore, tender you a greeting, and express her
| wish for the great prosperity OF your organi-
zation.
MAYOR RICE.
| Father Shsnly then introduced Hon. Ed
mund Rice, Mayor of st. Paul, who spoke as
| follows:
MAYOR RICE's WELCOME.
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union of America: In obe-
| dience to the universal sentiment of the peo-
| pie of this city, / come here to extend to you
| a welcome to their hospitality.
| We all recognize the vast amount OF good
effected by your organization, not
| only 10 this community, the evidence of which
| is daily before us, but we have also abundant
| testimony to the success of your laudable
work throughout the land. There is not an
| intelligent being that does not gratefully re-
| spond TO your noble efforts in behalf of those
yOu Hafc ISoCueQ anu Tue many more
| who are being safely guided through the
| temptation and danger which every where
surround them. You have wisely forseen
| that the great end you have in view cannot be
| accomplished by state or municipal
| enactments enforced by executive and
police control. The moral force of
| associated effort impelled by high pur-
pose will ever be more effective
| aud persuasive than legal force in the restora-
| ton of the weak and unfortunate. When you
have concluded your special work here, we
should be glad to have you look around you
upon the rapidly developing resources. not
only of st. Paul, but of our sister
cities. You will find charming sum-
mer resorts upon the shores Of
| the numerous lakes in our neiphhorhood and
