Mr.. President and members OF the
Twenty-second Session OF the Nevada
Legislature, It is hardly necessary for
me to say that this is the proudest
moment in my life. I assure you that
I appreciate the high honor which
You, as members Of the Nevada Legis-
lature, have conferred upon me this
day. also appreciate, my friends.

which this Office carries with it. You

Of you, that came to this State with
no capital, but the teachings Of kind
and loving mother and an honest
father ((Applause), pluck, determine
ton and ambition. What have I made
OF myself and have accumulated OF
this worlds goods for myself and my
: family l owe to the State Of Nevada.

ner possible the policies enunciated
by the Republican State and National
platforms. The policies upheld by
our strenuous and vigorous President
the man who today is, I believe, the
greatest American in all the world
Theodore Roosevelt, (Applause). Since
that time I have also stated in public
and in the press that my highest and
greatest desire would be to uphold Mr.
Roosevelt in those policies, which
viii accrue to the best fnterestof Ne
vada In every particular, and in such
a manner as no one, care not
whether his policies be republicanisn
or democracy, will ever have cause
to regret that 1 as follower OF Theo
dore Roosevelt supported those poll
cies.
Now, my friends, during the cam

Of Nevada he will find that he will
get q prompt reply, and that will
at all times be on guard there lookin,
after your interests. Aprlause.) An,
