WELCOMING SPEECH.
In welcoming the new governor Gov.
Roosevelt said:
Gov Odell, IL becomes from this
moment your high and solemn duty %
stand at the executive head OF the
greatest State within our Union; a
State which In point Of size. population,
wealth and wide variety Of interests and
Of industries, rises above many a
world-famOus kingdom, or common
wealth Great powers are given YOU
on the one hand and, on the other
hand, your task Is neither light nor
easy. But you come to II with the
special ability and special training
which peculiarly fit you 10 perform II
ably and well. In a sense a governors
term begins with his election for as
soon as elected, he must begin TO make
ready for his eNactlng and engrossing
duties. The earnest you have already
given US OF the way In which you regard
these duties. and Of the spirit In which
you approach them, Is such
that we have the right to express,
not merely the hope, but the confident
belief that at the end Of your term as
governor you Will have won the right TO
stand with that list OF public servants
whose memory the great Empire State
delights to hold In peculiar honor"
GOV. oDELL's ADDRESS.
Gov. odell then delivered his lnaug.
ural address as follows:
with the assumption o. responsible
tiles come doubt and uncertainty which
even the applause and good wishes OF
our friends cannot entirely dlssipate.
Especially Is this true OF him into
whose keeping Is placed the admins
tration Of the affairs Of our common
wealth.
New York, an empire In itself, with
is vast population, It's many and d.
verse interests demands from It's chief
executive the greatest conservatism
and wisdom as to its needs and that
ITS business affairs shall be trans
acted with economy and good judy
ment.
Under our form Of government
when the will Of the majority has been
expressed we should forget our parti-
sauship IN our desire 10 uphold and
strengthen the hands Of those whom
for the time being we have clothed
with authority and upon whom the
responsibility for the proper enforce
ment OF our laws Is placed.
ECONOMY IN ADMINISTRATION
"The success Of our state admins
tration depends as much upon Its COM
ponent parts as upon the aggregate,
and il Is a right which the executive
can demand, and every loyal citizen
should accord, that In every municipall-
", In every township and hamlet, the
same economical conditions shall pre-
vail as are expected IN the administra-
ton Of our state Affairs
THE burdens OF taxation should be
80 adjusted as 20 fan lightly upon those
who have received from the State pro-
lection and rights which have given
90 their vast interests the success they
deserve Combination In restraining OF
"a welcome extended 10 an whose
energy and genius will add 70 the lus-
ire and fame Of the Empire State and
ala ma in unfolding our business and
commercial supremacy The care OF our
wards should be as generous as their
necessities may require, never extraya-
CANT and never niggardly. (,
ENFORCEMENT OF Law.
ITO the governor Is entrusted the
execution and 20 the legislature the
law-makins power Of the common.

distinct and can never be combined
without a serious impairment In the
efficiency OF both II shall be my object
therefore TO keep strictly within the
letter and spirit Of the law and 10 give

Of public good, Withholding approval
only when such measures fall below
this standard.
In thus aiding IN the consumma-
ton of all worthy projects I shall be
guided solely by the desire 20 give 10
the mandates OF our constitution their
fun effect and to the wishes Of our
people their FUN purport.
