I feel that this club not only commemorates the name and the great service of Alexander Hamilton.

While prosperity is indispensable as the basis, as the foundation, it will not amount to anything if you do not build on that foundation.

Our people have risen and will rise because they have taken care of both sides of the development of the national character.

We cannot abandon our position on the Monroe Doctrine;

It is to them that we owe the fact that we have a country at all.

It is a great pleasure to have the chance of saying a word or two to you this morning.

The eastern part of Colorado, which fifteen years ago was considered as only a country for sage brush and jack rabbits, has now come up so that it has relatively as great a future as any other part of the state.

It is a great pleasure to have the chance of greeting you today.

I cannot say how much impressed I am as I travel through your great State.
