His inaugural Address. i
Mr. President and Members of the
General Assembly
The practically unanimous election
as chief executive with which | have
been nonored by my fellow citizens is
tribute of the people of all parties
and all classes to the principles and
policies which have controlled the
democratic party in the management
of our state government, and not to
the Individual selected as the repre-
sentative of these principles and poi
cies. Such an election not only adds
to the responsibilities and duties
which attach to the Office of Gov
ernor. Ou will impel me to put forth
every effort to meet those responsible
tiles and discharge those duties with
out tear, favor or affection and vita
the sole purpose to properly advance
each and every interest OF the state
and Of all her people. The desire that
shall ever be present, and which shall
always control me in the discharge OF
my official duties VIII be To- protect
the honor of my state and promote the
welfare OF her people. To accomplish
this end | invoke your valuable assist
ance in needed legislation, ana in
vite the cooperation OF all my fellow
citizens.

licly announce the more prominent
features Of those policies which in his
judgment will best subserve the good
OF the people | shall not now under

The furtherance Of which / shall bend
all my energies. but standing now
upon the very threshold Of the execu-
tive office, and with a knowledge of
the responsibilities and duties which
await me as governor of one Of the
greatest states in tne American union
and being impressed with the magni-
tude and character of those response
bilities and duties, declare to you
that in my judgment the supreme in
terest OF the state and the people lies
in the reduction of the rate of taxa
tion and in providing better educa-
tional advantages for the children Of
the state.
How TO % it.
The reduction Of the tax rate can
