The governor was introduced by for
mer Senator FADE who hales from the
chief Missourians home state. and in
Mr.. Hadley's own words the hearty
response that greeted his name made
him feel as ii he were running for
office without anybody running against
him"
Governor Hadley regards Arizona as

says the governor. with all the good
people that Missouri. the Oldest Of the
western states. has sent out to Ari-

of fine folks in the old state
Finally. the speaker congratulated
the students upon their splendid oppor
