or the sons and daughters of the men
and women who stretched out into this
land and conquered the wilderness for
the nation.
4 come to speak TO you on party is
sues anC upon issues that are far more
than party. l appeal not merely to Re
pUblicanS, but l appeal to every man
and woman proud OF the country's past
and confident of the cOuntTy's future
and who are resolved to attain that
1 future and to stand by the country
now. / would challenge the right of
any of you here to be a better west
erner than 1 am. 1t has never been
my fortune before to get into your
wonderful state. but Idaho. Montana
and the Dakotas knew we'll for years.
have worked with the people; I saw
them close I'D. I knew what they
could do, what they were capable of,
and because 1 know the west 1 feel
that l know this country. l feel that
know the American people. ] feel sure
that when our people have once started
TO do a piece of work that they will

Praises the Valley.
"This morning, through my good for
tune, l have been able to drive about
your beautiful town and to travel
/ through your wonderful and beautiful
valley. More and more, as 1 look at it,
as see what you and your fOrefatherS
have done, more and more has it made
] me feel proud as an American, to think
! what you, my fellow Americans, have
done. More and more l feel confident
as to what we can yet do. We are not
any WORKOUT race, content 20 rest on
/ the memory of what has been done by
, those who have gone before us, We are
not a people who have to take refuge
in pride of ancestry, and admit that We
of this day are not able to do deeds
/ ourselves. On the contrary, We take
/ the greatest pride in the deeds of the
men who went before us; and l feel
/ Ihar the very fact that those deeds
We're done must spur US on to do deeds
! also. 1t is great thing to have mate
! rial greatness: it is a great thing to
| be able to point TO the hardshiDS, sac
rifices, and the brutality necessary to
/ develop the resources of a great coun-

/ back of and even above material de-
VeloDment 1t is a greater thing to
! have the men and women ourselves
Il admire the way you have come
into the wilderness and have made 1t
| blossom like the rose. l admire what
you have done here in building up the
countryside farms. ranches, the cities
you have built. 1 like to look at your
crops and to look at the output of your
mines and everything else that you
! have here, but what l think YOU have
the most cause to be proud of is your
children. l believe with AL my soul in
the old doctrine that blessed are thew
who build for the future; who bring
up citizens to rule the land; citizens to
spread our name and our blood and
our principles throughout the worlds
universe, to make the name of Amer

as the elder among you did, and who
now go forth in the face of the world
to make our country in the century
that is to come stand towards the old
world as it has stood towards this con-

Task For Each Generation.
Each generation has its allotted
task, and as we do that task so do we
or do we not leave a heritage of honor
to those who come after US. Now. why
are we here today? Why am I about
to speak to you? Because your fathers
were not timid weaklings; because the
men and women of the middle of the
nineteenth century came out into this
