Mr.. Defebaugh, the editor Of the
American Y le Lumberman, which has the
reputation Of being one Of the strong
est trade papers In the United States.
] take pleasure in asking Mr.. Defe-
baugh to say word to you in addi-
ton to the remarks Of the other gen
tlemen.
Mr.. J. 2. Defebaugh: Gentlemen,
the first thing that would occur to me
In saying a word to you today, would
be that I would like to have you indi-
vtdually and collectively, convey the
best wishes, as well as the congratula-
lions of the Chicagoans who are pres
ent, and particularly your humble
servant. to your distinguished governor,
Gov. Sarles, who is a lumberman
whom we know and love; and we
know that in his duties he will per.
form that which will serve his state
wonderfully well.
Il have noticed In going over the
country, from the time we entered
minnesota. that the lumber interests
seem to have come to rather high
place in the communities where the
business men are conducting the af.
fairs Of the country. found Col
Robinson over at Fargo yesterday. 4
man whom / have known and respect
ed very highly for some twenty years.
and to come over here and hear Gov.
Sarles name mentioned Familiarity, IS
sort Of personal qualification and
satisfaction. As we 60 farther west
we probably will find that other in
dustries may come In and take the
place OF the numbering interests, but
as Its champion, I want to say that
that business is exemplifed, and its
personnel - typined In no better man
than the governor of this state.
We seek, however, not SO much
our own individual interests as to
make acquaintanceship with You and
with your interests, in order that If
possible We may be able to serve YOU
better In the future, whether we are
newspaper men, or commercial fac.
tors. And, we want to gain your
friendship, and your fellowship, not
30 much in our interest as in your
own. Mr.. MacVeagh and Mr.. Hibbard
have intimated, representing as they
90 two Of the largest commercial
houses In Chicago, that what we want
rs 9 closer fellowship, and so I have
only this to add: that it has been our
experience that these visits through
out the country have led us into closer
touch with the minor, as well as the
larger cities and towns. and have re-
suited as q rule, in extending business
as well as social relationship: and We
hope that the result Of cur short stay
IN your city will 50 acquaint us with
your affairs. and with you individual.
y. that we may better serve you in
the future. (Applause.)
