in havinS with us this evening a
newspaper man who represents the
grand old state of Wisconsin,"
The governor said: "Mr. President
and members of the association and
ladies and gentlemen of Superior: You
are very superior lot when taken in
combination. About fifteen or twenty
minutes ago there was projected into
my comprehension the summons that I
was to do the state and association
some honor on this occasion" Then
| followed an eulogy of the common
wealth and the association. am glad
to have the pleasure of setting foot in
city whose fame already spreads over
the nation. 1t is the first time I have
ever visited the western extremity of
the great inland sea, and my mind has
been busy all day with consideration
of the possibilities of the place. The
state of Wisconsin has many latent
powers which are undeveloped, and no
seer has been able to predict what will
ultimately come to pass.
''The press does you infinite honor by
visiting you to-day. 1t stands on the
bulwarks of the states Zion. as guard
over the safety and honesty of the
people"
"You have grand ambitions, and I
believe that what you hope for shall
come to pass. You are lusty infant,
but as yet hardly out of your swaddling
clothes. What will you be when you
get old enough to 60 to the table and
demand your full share. Dim and
futile were the anticipations of those
who organized this territory 81 years
ago compared with the realization of
to-day. Little did they think that this
wilderness should become the seat of
civilization SO grand and SO proud. or
that the commercial center of the state
should be so far north of it's capital.
"Watch your interests, guard your
affairs closely. AS the Irishman said
to a companion who was engaged in
rough and tumble combat, in which the
contestants rolled down a steep hill,
first one and then the other, "Stick to
it Pat: Thank God you're on top half
the timeW
The governor was frequently inter-
rupted by the enthusiastic feelings of
his hearers which would find vent
anyway.
Z. c. Faulkes' solo anchored" made
it compulsory for a second appearance
of the singer, and his song was so
rendered so as to bring forth more
evidence of appreciation.
President Price said among other
things that the meeting seemed to be
fortunate all along the ine-fortunate
i'll having such good music, and fortu-
nate in having with us another news

most important and substantial cities
in the nation outside Of Superior.
