When I get out here and see the big plains, it makes me feel as if I were at home again.

You do not know what a pleasure it is to me to get out into this Western country.

We need in public life, as we need in private life, the same qualities that have been needed since history began.

It is a great pleasure to me to be back in New Mexico and to pass through Clayton.

I am particularly pleased to see you all here.

I believe more in children than I do in irrigation and you know I am all right on irrigation.

Let me say how glad I am to see the school children's faces.

I cannot say what a pleasure it is to be back with you again.

I follow your career with the greatest possible interest.

I want to say good-bye to all the good people of Texas.

Good-bye, Good-bye.

I have the feeling for them that one naturally has for the men with whom he has been thrown into the intimate relations of life.

I am glad to see a first-class exhibit of New Mexico's children.

If a lot of newspaper men start to come in after me, I will have to come home; that's all there is to it.

There is not any remarkable genius or remarkable brilliancy needed; what is needed in governing ourselves is the exercise of just exactly the same qualities that make a man a decent neighbor, a decent husband, a decent father.

Just one word about irrigation.

Also I want to say that I appreciate to the limit the kindness with which I have been treated in Texas.

Now, I am going to make a request of the people of Colorado.
