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.

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 wish to thank the men of the National Guard for coming out as my escort.

Just one word about irrigation.

Let me say one word of special greeting to the veterans of the Grand Army.

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

If that is the type we have in our representatives, we are going to have success.

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

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

This country is founded on the doctrine of giving each man a fair show to see what there is in him.

I greet the veterans of the Civil War who came here today to greet the President, because we are one people and one country, and not to be divided forever.

We want our rights, not as a favor, but as a right.

There is nowhere I feel more at home than in a town like this.

I have liked my job.

Good-by, and good luck.

I do not feel that I have to explain my policies to the Oklahoma people.
