Mr.. Katzenstein said: "Mr. Chairman,
| have the honor and pleasure of present

The president responded: 81 am sure,
ladies and gentlemen, that L voice the SEN
timent of the convention in saying that we
feel highly honored by the presence of the
chief executive of this great State, who
comes to participate in our deliberations.
I have now the honor to present to you
Governor Budd of California"
Governor -Budd then took the platform
and said: ''Mr. Chairman, ladies and gen.
tlemen of the convention, l must thank
you for the kindness you have shown me
in inviting me to appear before you to-day.
You who have been around the Capitol for
the lact few days understand that my
duties from O'Clock in the morning until
2 o'clock the next morning make it
impossible for me to prepare any proper
remarks for an occasion like this. We
are pleased to welcome you to California,
and we hope that when you return to the
East, where you viii find snow and Jack
Frost, believe, you may wish to return to
California and settle among Us. You find
us now during rainstorm, but still one of
the best States in the world. From each
part Of the State, as you may ascertain, we
have different products. There is not any
country, in my Judgment, nor any country
mentioned in the history of the world,
that contains within its borders as many
different sources Of wealth as does the
State of California. Here we need but one
thing, and that is an extended population
and the investment Of Eastern capital. We
invite you to scrutinize all the industries
Of the State, and when you return to the
people of the East tell them of the great
resources you have seen here, and tell
them that we have got warm hearts, as
well as great resources.
The regular order of business was then
resumed, and the Governor excused him
self and withdrew.
