Mr.. President and members Of the
joint assembly: The senatorial cycle
of time having run it's length it now
becomes the duty Of this body to
choose from among the citizens of the
state one charged with the RESPONSE
bilities Of representing our young
state in the senate of the United
States.
BY the wisdom of the trainers Of our
federal constitution it wa s decreed
that each state composing the aggre-
CATION that go to make up the ma
tion should have equal representation
in the highest branch of congress. In
the days of the Roman republic to he
a senator was considered the greatest
of honQrs. 10 be a senator of Il re-
public Vilat has stricken the shaclels
from every slave and is composed of
more than seventy million of free, i'll
dependent and liherty-loving people,
is an honor that could make tllc blood
course faster in the veins Of even the
most stOical.
1t is your privilege at this time to
bestow that honor. Within twenty
minutes after you shall have express
ed by. q majority vote of this assem-
blage your decision. the news will be
flashed with lightning speed to all
parts of the country. 10 the congress

the most momentous problems con-
sidered since Lincolns emancipation
proclamation, namely the ratification
nf nj
the establishment of stable govern
ment for the Hawaiian islands. Your
decision will be flashed TO the chief
executive of the nation and his advis-
ors, all of whom await with interest
and eagcrness to know who is to be
your choice. Await to know if this
young state not yet arrived ut the
mature manhood of her greatness is to

Americanism that has been advocated
f, by our present administration.
should be well grounded in bis faith
in the teachings and doctrines of our
form of government. He should be Il
man whose mental vision is eXpan-
sive enough to take in the wants and
needs of the people from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from the Gulf to
the Great Lakes; whose cosmopolitan
views will extend across the broad eX-
panse OF ocean to those distant isles
and to wherever the stars and stripes
shall wave back and forth in natures S
breeZes DER landor sea.
Heshould be Il man who understands
that the hum of revolving spindles.
and the click of flying shuttlcs gives
employment to labor and of the Just
| compensation of the laborer He
should be a man who is in perfect
accord with the administration of
William Mckinley, to the end that
he may be permitted to continue his
administration on present lines
which has made him one of the ma
tional triumvirate, Washington, Lin
coin and Mckinley; a man who will
not, Indian fashion, tie grass across
the pathway of those with whom he
is not in accord, whom neither jeal-
ousies, petty differences or spite will
ever cause to forget the state he rep
resents or the interest Of all her pco-
pie.
| We now have as citizen of our
state such a man living on the Mis-
souri, slope, that stronghold of repub-
licanism whenever needed in every
campaign that has been held since
statehood. That Missouri slope that
has always rolled up such a splendid
republican majority. A man who is no
neophite in legislation. Every page
of the statute law passed since state
hood bears the impress of his dill
gence, his integrity and his fidelity to
the interest Of the people; q man who
understands the wants and needs OF
the grain fields Of the eastern and Of
the grazing lands Of the western por-
tion of our state. A man who has been
in touch with the farmer, the mechan-
ic and the banker and who has blend
ed them together into a composite
picture which represents the best in
terests Of each and all. A man whose
acquaintances become his friends;
whose reliance in our institutions and
belief in our people, our prosperity
and our future greatness is as firm as
the granite hills of New Hampshire,
the state Of his nativity. A man who
is rs true in his devotion to duty and
unerring in his fidelity to friendships
as the needle to the pole. Generous
and forgiving to opponents almost to
a fault.
We Of the Missouri slope Of one ac-
cord commend for your careful con-
sideration when you shall cast your
vote for a United States senator, he
whose name I shall now ask you to
consider, the Honorable Clarence B.
Little, of Burleigh county.
