Mr. Speaker. Gentlemen of TIE Joint

If in my life I never experien. ed but
one hsppy m ,ment that is on this dsy
and at this time. The only one thing
that would increase that happiness
would b. q thing thst I have tonight for.
and had I received it instead OF Mr..
Roach l might have been happier ZAP
p!ause Next to that election you nave
entirely satisfied my choice. Zap,
Go l have tried to do. I
have undertaken to dir oharge my
duties % q democrat, and I have worked
for this result. The democratic party,
represented in this legislature, has
Joined hands with the memb ers OF the
outside parties and produced this result.
The work has been honestly, nobly and
uniformly done, and they are entitled
to the credit of the democrats all over
the state, and 1 want to say that while
you Republicans have worked az lard
against this result, taking everyth inR
into consideration, for enc I forgive you
for it, lApplsuse. I hope that f.ur
years from now We may sharpen the
GLADE again and 40 to battle. II I live

deal with the pres mt. [Great applause.
No man in North Dakota shall re
gret the action that has been taken.
Oandidly I speak to you ss . pint IS
sembly representing the legisl Ature OF
this state, that I believe the action OF
this Legislature is one Of the wisekt ever
taken by any Legislature Ia North Da.
kota. MY reason for that is thie: You
have already in the United States sen.

and that man, to work with the demo
cratic administration. will produce for
North Dakota what no tac democrats
can do mo- no two republicans can do.
We're . young state and there are
many things that We need and require
which older states have already 9
ceived. Certain appropriations belong
to every state, and w a.e entitled to
ours and without proper represtn sation
you cannot get it. Int with the proper
representation We will get soue thing
substantial and beneficial. Further

who ocu,d have ben Iespeoted to Q
greater degree by the inco ming admin
~istrstion, and that man acting with this
man you will oil feel proud of your
recent sot.
I'VE thank You for what you have
done and the republicans have made
