MY Fellow Citizens: have found not only
pleasure, but instruction in riding TODAY
through the portion Of the State of Virginia
that is feeling in very striking way tho i'm
pulse Of new development. 1t is extremely
gratifying to notice that those hidden sources
OF wealth which were so long unobscryed and
~
these regions, once so retired, occupied by pas
toral people, having difficult access to the Gen.
ter OF population, are now being RAPIDLY trans
formed into busy manufacturing and CONNER
cial ccnters. In the early settlement of this
country cmgrants poured over the Allcghanics
and Blue Ridge like waters over an obstruct
ing ledge seeking the fertile and attractive
farm regions of the great West They passed
unobscrvcd these marvellous hidden stores OF
wealth which are now being brought into use
Having filled those great basins of the
West they are now turning back to Virginia
ana west Virginia and Tennessee to bring
about tho full development and production
ior which time IS ripe and which will surprise
the world. IL has not been long since every
implement of iron, domestic agricultural and
mechanical, was made for you in other States.

by the providence Of God, all the clements of
material wealth; endowed with genius and
energy unsurpassed among the nations of the
earth, shall again have on the great seas MGR
chant marine flying the flag of the common
country and carrying its commerce into every
sea and upholding its honor in every port?
II am glad today to stand for this moment
among you and to express my sympathy with
any ana every interest that tends to develop
you us people. am glad to stand with you
on one common platform Of respect for the
constitution; differing rs some OF us may do i'm
orr opinions us to what the law should be and
how it should be applcd; having in view one
common devotion OF obedience TO the law as
the majority of our people, by their own repre-
Scntativcs, make il.
Il shall carry away from here n renewed i'm
pulse to public duty; IL new inspiration ms Il

ness Is only lawning.
And now let me express to you the pleasure
