Text OF Speech.

II am glad TO take part in the COM
2nemcration of the landing in Green
Bay Of the man who can truly be
called the first white pioneer Of Wis

''Over ali the years the purposes Of
the men and women who established
civilization In Wisconsin and in the
Northwest we're the same as those
that stimulated the earlier settlers of
the Atlantic seaboard Men every
where throughout Europe had suffered
from the imperfect and often unjust
governments Of their home lands. and
we're driven by deep desire to find Sc
curity and enlarged opportunity for
themselves and their children. The
new population flowing into our new
lands of opportunity was a mixed
population, differing often in lam
guage, In external customs and In
habits Of thought. But in one thing
they were alike--they shared a deep
purpose to rid themselves forever OF
the jealousies, the preiudices, the in
trfgues and the violence. whether in
ternal or external, that disturbed their
lives abroad.
Sought Unfettered Life.
'NThey sought life less fettered by
the exploitations that selfish men set
up In governments that are not free.
They sought wider opportunity for
the average man.

ture of migration to new homes, they
moved forward to the further adven-
ture OF establishing forms OF govern
ment and methods of operating these
forms OF government that might as
sure them the things that they
sought. They believed that men, out
of their intelligence and their self
discipline could create and use forms
of government that would not enslave
the human spirit, but free 1t and
nourish it. They did not fear govern
ment, because they knew that gov
ernment In the New World was their
own.
"'They built here in Wisconsin a
State destined for extraordinary
achievements. They set up institu-
tions TO enforce law and order. to
care for the unfortunate, to promote
the arts of industry and agriculture.
They built a university and school
system as enlightened as any that the
world affords They set up against all
selfish private interests the organized
authority OF the people themselves
through the State. They transformed
utilities into public servants instead
OF private means Of exploitation.
Fought for Rights.
1.-The average man in Wisconsin
waged long and bitter fight for his
rights. Here. and in the nation at
large, this battle has been two-fold.
He has had to fight nature From
the time that the settlers started to
clear the land until now, he has been
compelled TO assert the power of his
brains and courage over the blind
powers Of the wind and the sun and
the soil He paid no heed to the re-
dictionaries who would tell him that
mankind must stand impotent before
the forces of nature. Year after year,
as science progressed and his mastery
Of the mysteries OF the physical uni
verse increased, he had been turn |
ing nature, once his hard master, into
useful servitude.
That Is why. on this trip across
the northern part OF our continent
have been so moved by the distress
ing effects Of a widespread drought |
and at the same time so strengthened |
IN my belief that science and CO.
operation can do much from now on
TO undo the many mistakes men have |
made In the past and to aid the good |
forces of nature and the good i'm |
pulses of men instead of fighting |
against them.
We are but carrying forward the !
pioneering spirit of the fathers when |
we apply the pioneering methods to the |
better use of vast land and water !
resourceS-what God has given us to !
use as trustees not only for ourselves.
but for future generations.
Struggle for Harmony.
But man is fighting also those !
forces which disregard human CO.
operation and human rights in seek |
ing that kind Of individual profit |
which is gained at the expense of |
his fellows.
1t Is just as hard TO achieve har- |
monlous and cooperative action
among human beings as it is to con-
quer the forces of nature. Only
through the submerging of individual |
desires into unSelfiSh and practical
cooperation can civilization grow.

that eliminated in 1882, people joined |

respective of many older political
traditions. They saw the dawn OF a
new day. They we're on the march.
they were coming back into the pos

"As the humble instruments OF

In one year and five months. the
people Of the United States have re-

their demands for action and neither
the demand nor the action has
reached the end of the road.
