Congressman Martin A. Haynes, Naval Officer
Daniel Hail. ex-Governors, ex-Congress-
men and other distinguished guests in
cuding President Pillsbury and
Speaker Bracket of the Mas
sachusetts Legislature.
The streets were lined with people, and the
military pageant was an imposing one and
creditabe to the National Guard Of New
Hampshire. 1t was half mile in length.
Arriving at the State House before / o'clock,
the two Governors, their suite and invited
friends met in the council chamber, and after
receiving message that the two houses were
in joint convention the party proceeded up
stairs to the Representatives hall, which was
crowded with people.
After the ceremonies of introducing the new
executive into Office had concluded, Governor
Currier delivered his inaugural address.
He pointed out that the census shows that
New Hampshire has lost its distinctive agri-
cultural character, and declared that the farms
must be saved be encouraging every industry
which creates home market for farm pro-
ducts, by protecting farmers from unjust ex-
actions, and by affording them opportunities
for obtaining an education which will enable
them to offset ,by superior intelligence hereto
fore experienced. He said of the prohibtory
that its provisions, if enforced, are sufficient,
but that he can suggest no amendment that
81 a..
strong and pronounced public opinion in their
favor. He would have the schools, SO far as
district end town systems are concerned, left
in the hands of those for whose good nd by
whom they are to be maintained.
OF manufactures be said In twenty years
from 1860 to 1880-the capital invested in man
ufaciuring in this State increased from $22,-
274 ,094 to $51, ,l12, 263, the number of persons
employed in shops and factories from 32,340 to
4S 831 and the annual wages from $8,405,6l0
to $l4, ,Sl4, 1913. This rapid growth is, in my
Judgment, largely due the protective policy of
the national government, and the liberal man
n in which manufacturing industries have
been treated in New Hampshire.
During the delivery of the message the hal,
was densely crowded, and after he had con
cluded GovernorCurrier withdrew to the Coun-
Gil Chamber where he was rendered recep-
ton by large and brilliant company OF ladies
and gentlemen.
This afternoon the Amoskeag Veterans,
Manchester Cadets and Portland Cadets had
banquet in one of the public halls, which was
attended by many invited guests.
