@SSSes FaF9o 0hate Y air.
Prior to the address by President
| Worst, e. S., Delaney of Valley CITY
also made response to the address of
welcome by Judge Miller. In opening
Mr. Delaney said:
When ] asked a friend what / was
repeated to say I'm a response to the
address of welcome, K was Informed
that the one doing the welcoming
would get up and throw lot of bou
quets at the farmers and that / was
expected to get UP and throw a lot of
flowers at Fargo and her people.
AS Judge Miller failed to throw any
bouquets, but has given sound and sol
id facts and advice, hardly know what
to say. However I have some things
to say about Fargo. We are proud of
Fargo, all Of us, because II is not ONLY
our oldest but our largest child. We are
mighty proud Of her. DO YOU know
that last week Fargo stood sixth in
the cities of the country in the per
cent of increase In the bank clearings
over the proceeding year? That * sd.
II Is the commercial and financial. CEN
ter of the state and we are proud of II
Then we have our agricultural COL
lege and the state fair to be proud of
have not heard any one say much
about the state fair. / want to saw
something and that is that hope that
IL VIII only be a short time until the
institution Is permanently located. I
believe that 1t will soon be put I'M to
you farmers to locate this fair and I
want you to locate II I'm the right place.
You want to place it where you can get
the best agricultural exhibit-where
you have received the best exhibits
of this kind. This fair is primarily for
you and believe that 1t should be To- |
Gated in Fargo"
Mr.. DeLacy also told of thu Develop |
ment of the state of North Dakota !
Il came to this state seventeen wears
ago" said he, "and / well remember
that every time / made a visit home |
and would then prepare to start hack
my relatives thought that / was crazy |
That is changed now.
Il used to have business with the
eastern banks and i also we'll re- /
member that when / would go into a |
bank and tell the president or cashier
that | was from North Dakota that he
would turn around to see that his safe
was shut tight and would then let a
cold shiver run down his back. And
II was impossible tosget him to talk
OF North Dakota.
Now when you go into any of the
eastern hotels and register from North
Dakota, people will crowd around Won
and try to get you to talk of the state.
They are interested in 1t. MANY hunt
you up because they have heard what
a nice place 1t is and want to locate
In new country and are looking with
favor on this commonwealth. Seven
teen years has made a great change
In the state and its reputation over
the country. II Is now recognized as
one of the best"
