Following is a portion of Cover
nor Brady's address:
Friends and fellow citizens:
would be untrue to myself and
unfair to this brilliant assemblage
if did not express to you my ap-
probation of this magnificent well
come that you have given me here
this evening. 1t is privilege and
a pleasure for any man to address
vast audience on any occasion. 1t
is especially gratifying to me, that
after two years of service rendered,
so many of you assembled here and
give such kindly and hearty
greeting. Two years ago a major
ity of the electors of this state cleo
ted me to the position that l now
occupy. At that time l was an
untried man and did not know the
majority of our people. Since that
time | have visited every county
in the state, and have thoroughly
familiarized myself with local con-
ditions and the wants and needs of
the people. | have met 10000 OF
our citizens, have visited every
college and public institution
that we have; have travelled for
days with pack train over noun
tains investigating our timber re-
sources, hoated down some of our
unused rivers for. days in
boat, so as to know the actual con-
ditions; Have visited the new and
undeveloped dry farming lands OF
our state; Have travelled in wagon
or on horseback over our Cary Act
Projects, and have walked along
the banks of their canals and per-
sonally inspected their works, their
dams, their sluces, Their head gates
and their fumes: Have visited our
public schools broke bread with you
in your homes and worshipped in
your churches. | have done these
things so as to become acquainted
with the people and thoroughly fla
miliarized withthe resources and
conditions in each and every county
in orderthat I might act intelli-
gently upon matters pertaining to
the Interest,": of our state when they
came before us.
Under the spirit of the princi-
Piles of justice, which must always
prevail in the management of Il
government such as ours, the pub
lie servant owes duty to the pub
lie. Is it not equally true that the
public owes something to its officials
if they have been faithful? TIE
maintenance of good men in Office
depends on your appreciation as
we'll as upon your votes. A man
has no right in public office unless
1t appreciates them.
"The assets OF our state govern
ment runs up to $37 100000, con-
sisting of lands, bonds, school
buildings and other public institu-
tions in which our money is in
vested. 1t is something to preside
over the proper careof thirty-seven
million dollars and see that every
cent is protected. and to keep the
money so invested that it does its
special work we'll and gives the
largest returns in service or inter
est, as the case may be.
my Democratic opponents have
been making claims to you in the
way of economy, by showing you
that in the last Democratic admin
station of 1901 and 1902, the cost
of conducting the State Auditors
office was $40, 1898. 90, and that dur
ing my administration, the cost has
been $20,009,84. This is quite true
but let me tell you something about
the difference in the amount of work
