my purpose to work incessantly for !

dtizerJp, and for the greatet' poesi- I
bie development of the resources of >
tbe H'i'e. To the timorous investor 1
c.b- > ant to send th « message: '
As long as I am Governor of Oklahoma '
your infearmenu in this State, if they
are honest investment, and made ia 1
observance of our laws, will be as sa- j
credly observed and safeguarded here I
as anywhere on the face of the earth. !
Capital and labor should be friends.
Both ar*- sorely needed in the future ]
development of the State, and neither
shall unduly oppreas or harrass the
other if 1 can prevent it. More rail-
roads with better e-qulpment: more
factories with better appliances: great-
er development of our vast mineral re-
sources with greater safety to em-
ployees: more employment of labor
with be'fer sages; an educational sys-
tem meeting tbe modern needs of an
advanr-ed <zenship; a continued de-
velopment of the agricultural inter-
ests, giving greater comfort and happi-
ness to the farmers of the State; will
be the slogan for Oklahoma for the
next four years.
My poJ: h is well known to you all.
I wan elected as a Dame rat, but I
shall not be a partisan in the adminis-
tration of the affairs of the State. I
si ■ fl look at all timeh to the greatest
good to all the people. Under no con-
ditions will 1 sacrifice the welfare of
the pubii to the interest of any politi-
cal organization. In appointing men
to of <merit and honesty alone will
govern me. If I make a mistake in
tbe appointment of any man to office,
that m i* a ke, as soon as it is discov-
ered, will be promptly corrected by
the removal of the Incompetent or cor- j
rupt official.
I think I will trespass a few minutes
further upon your time, by referring to
my future attitude towards the prohi-
bition lav. in this State. T have so re-
peatedly stated that I favor the en-
forcement of every law upon the stat-
ute bocks, that it would seem needless
for me to repeat here that declaration.
■But our people have so constantly
foughf er tbe prohibition laws of the
State, that I feel that a special refer-
ence to that law ia desired by the pub-
lic. While I am Governor, every pow-
er given Into my hands by the Legisla-
ture and the people of the State, will
be exhausted in an endeavor to give
to the people an honest and effective
enforcement of that law. I am not a
fanatic on the question cf prohibition,
and no fanaticism will be exhibited by
me in attempting to enforce thrt law;
but so long as it remains one of the
laws of this State, in the discharge of
my sworn duties, I will attempt faith-
fully to enforce it. In this endeavor, I

see, I .'tab, Vermont, Virginia and Wy- ward In the discharge of my public

law, I want to give this wanting: You
must pay the penalty which the law
imposes. .Don't violate the law, har-
boring the hope that you will find an
escape through the medium of a par-
don, from the penalty you have volun-
tarily and willfully incurred. This
much the CJovernor can do to aid in
the enforcement of the law,—he can
make certain the punishment after
conviction by witbolding a pardon. If
you violate this law, you had better
defeat the case against you in the
court, for you will stand little chance
to defeat justice after conviction by
obtaining a pardon at my hands.
And now, my fellow citizens, let us
•et ourselves to the work to be per-
formed,—the building of an ideal com-
monwealth; a commonwealth of com-
fortable homes and cpntented people;
where every man shall reap and enjoy
the fruits of his toil; wheve capital
shall find safe and profitable invest-
ment without opp;essing the poor;
where virtue shall be exalted and vice
abased; where there shall be a realiza-
tion of the hope of ages and the dream
of tbe past, ''a government of the peo-
ple, for the people and by the people."
This cannot be accomplished ln a
year, nor in four years, but we can
start the forces moving that will tend
to that end. In this field there ii
need for all, and the man who with-
holds his help, Is not a friend to Okla-
homa.
Imploring your help, and with a
firm reliance upon Him who has been
the friend and preserver of our Na-
tion ln the generations of the past, and
who will aid us ln the future, if we
but place our trust in Him, I enter
upon the duties of tba office deter-
mined to do my best to merit the con-
fidence reposed in me by the people
by electing me to be their (Jovernor.
