many things which tho people hope
for at the hands OF this legislature,
but there Is one paramount duty rest
ing upon the members of this assem-
bly, 60 the performance Of which the
people are hooking with deep concern.
You no doubt realize that in the af-
fairs OF this world the law Of prece-
dent appeals more strongly 20 the
average man than even the written
law. We are here assembled as the
Initial legislature under our new era
of state sovereignty. and as we shall
do, 80 VIII future legislatures feel II
incumbent upon themselves 90 DO. II
We are faithful and true TO the inter-
ests Of our constituents; n we shall
stand by their commands and ex-
pressed desires; IT, In short, we shall
champion their rights and truly rep-
resent their interests. II Is certainty
shat the future legislatures will, By
following such precedents. be truly
representative OF the people and an
instrument for the future happiness
and progress Of the whole people. But
". on the contrary, we constitute our
selves into instruments OF special In
terests, ~ we dedicate our endeavors
to playing partisan politics. that dan
gerous double-edged sword; II we
shall act as tools of bosses OF OF
smooth gentlemen OF industry" our
record and precedents shall be the
mirror to which future assemblies
may look for guidance. Let us there
fore remember that the WORK OF this
assem- bly,. particularly. will be not
alone for the present but for future
guidance.
Another thing. let us not ignore
the fact that there is great
moral awakening rapidly developing
throughout the land. a thing with
which all men IN pulic life must
reckon. Whether Il be as the natural
result of the spreading OF the great
wave which Is sweeping over our
broad nation, or whether II has come
as q consequence Of the larger respon-
sihilities II incuTabeFs upon us by our
acquisition Of full citizenship. ! Will
not stop TO inquire; bat this great
moral akening ~ abroad In the
land ot sunshine. This happy oondi-
tion will allow Us 20 play successfully
but one kind of politics. and that will
be To vie with each other In an honest
cndeavor TO acquire the largest meas
ure OF results for the benefit and in
/ terest Of the whole people. Let us
then realize, my fellow workers. the
great. grave and important duties that
lie before as. and try 10 make our
selves worthy Of the confidence re-
posed In us by our constituents IN
the performance OF my duty as your
presiding officer Il Will be my sincere
endeavor 60 act as Justly and Impair
tielly as shall be In my power and
ability 10 do. ! realize that on ac-
count Of natural deficiencies ! may
commit many errors, and / assure
yuu that they shall be mistakes OF the
head and not OF the heart Bidding
