Owning mining stock qualities one
to speak at this assemblage. 1 am
delighted to say that my qualification
cannot be questioned. 1t was thought
necessary for me in one of my cam
paigns to purchase some stock in order
to be able to say that l was a mining
man. l purchased $40 worth of stock
1t has never paid any dividends and
never will.
you are doing much for the state
by the development of the wonderful
oil fields in this section. You are de-
veloping industries which would be
unknown here except for the wonder
full progressive spirit you have shown
We now have the largest oil wells In
the world right here in California and
the prospects are that the wonder will
go right ahead and increase
Il shall do everything in my power
to assist the oil and mining industries.
A great deal of work can be done
through the mining bureau and I am
giving the matter my earnest atten-
ton. The state is going to stand right
behind the great development work.
Il want always to be in a position
where l may assist the great indus
tries"
