Il am glad to meet and greet the peo-
pie of Duluth. 1t has been my desire 10
visit this phenomenal city and meet its
enterprising people. beg leave to ex.
tend to your mayor and to the people of
your city my sincere thanks for yonr
warm and generous welcome. Every.
body knows about Duluth and the people
of Duluth. 1t is the people that make
the city. You only need little more
prosperity. We IRE going to have it in
spite of everything. 1t will come Just as
sure as change in the administration of
the government of the United States will
come. The last eighteen months have
been the longest in human memory to
the people of the United States - the
longest eighteen months since the war
and the people never wanted chance to
vote so badly as to-day: The truth. ia
that the people wanted change. They
got it, and those who voted for it and
those who voted against it are equally
dissatisfied. They want to change back
now. But, my friends, do not want to
be led into making political speech.
only appear to thank you for your well
come, and to say to you that no matter
where we live, we ure all proud tn be
citizens of the Vi tied States, whether
we are Democrats or Republicans or Pop
ulists. We are all Americans, loving the
United States and determined to stand
by her against all nations of the world.
This is our country; we made it, and if
it is not Just what we want, it is our
fault We are going to have what we
want the next time we vote. We want
good times, good money, good mines,
good manufactures, good prices and good
wages. We want one full days work for
every man who wants to work. We
want him paid American wages for his
one days work. We want money that
is good to-day and good at all times.
The people of the country will stand by
the policy which gives the largest, high
est and best prosperity. I wish to con.
graduate the people Of Minnesota and Du.
luth on the wonderful progress you hive
made. Although one Of the youngest
states sou are to-day known all over this
broad land as one of the greatest. I
wish you all prosperity and contentment
in your works hops and your homes"
