GOV. DICKERSON'S SPEECH

Following is Governor Dickerson's
speech, in full, before the Goldfeld
Chamber of Commerce rs it appears il
the Goldfield Review. The speech is
full of telling points that leave 10 doubt
us to where the governor stands on the
enforcement of the laws of the state
without fear, or partiality toward any
class. The Review says that Governor
Dickerson spoke slowly and deliberately
and was repeatedly interrupted by
applause. At the conclusion of his
address he was loudly applauded. He
spoke as follows:
NJ ToastInaster, gentlemen of the
Goldfield Chamber of Commerce. bust
ness men, miners and nine operators of
the Goldfield district. it is genuine
pleasure to lie to he with o this
evening, to share in your hospitality; to
meet and know you personally. During
my brief stay i'll your city you have left
nothing undonc to make my visit most
pleasant one, and I assure you of my
most hearty appreciation. appreciate.
also, the privilege you have accorded
me Of addressing this splendid assem-
blagc.
Our late lamented governor, John
Sparks, loved for his warmth of heart
and respected for his honesty of purpose
and administration of affairs of state,
has been removed from the Office of
chief magistrate of our state by the
firm hand of death. You knew Clover
nor sparks well and were acquainted
with the policies he would bcstow, if
living. You do not know me, nor do
you know the policies that will govern
my administration and it occurs to lie
that nothing that ] could say at this
time would be more appropriate to the
OCCASION than to outline in a very few
remarks the policies that will govern
my administration.
II desire to say first and foremost
that you need not expect any radical
departure from the policies that have
been pursued in the past. There are
not going to be any radical or ill.con.
sidercd changes. The best interests of
the state demand mt this iuncture. when
we are just merging from the financial
maclst0rm that has affected the entire
country, that every citizen, regardless
of his position or station in life. give
the best that is in him to the advance.

duty to the state.
Confidence is the hand. maid of
prosperity. We must by our actions
inspire confidence In our business cn.

administration Of our laws. We must
convince the investing public that they
arc going to get a square deal Mt our
