I am absolutely confident of the future, not only of this State, but of our entire country.
I am a pretty good Westerner; I am accustomed to seeing extraordinary growth, but what I have seen today has astonished me.
This government cannot and shall not become a government either of a plutocracy or of a mob.
Stand just as quiet as possible; do not sway; just stand as quiet as possible.
