THIRD ANNUAL SESSIONS 



International Movement. 



"I do not know whether they have altered the name to 'Inter- 

 national' or not, as was suggested, but at any rate, if not in name, it is 

 in body and spirit, international, and I look forward to the day when 

 we will have our meetings, not perhaps all in the United States, but in 

 some other countries. I hope some day this great movement may have 

 a congress meet in South Africa, another time in Brazil, another time 

 in Canada, and at some future date, in Australia, where we wiil gladly 

 welcome you. On behalf of my colleagues and myself, we return heart- 

 felt thanks for your kind treatment and trust that God's blessings 

 will rest on you all, on the city of Cheyenne, on the state of Wyoming, 

 and the great republic of which you forni' a part; that it will go on and 

 prosper and that we will ever afterward be engaged in these human 

 measures of subduing the difficulties providence has set before us, and 

 that we will have as long as the world endures lasting friendship be- 

 tween us all." 



GOV. BROOKS (presiding) : "The chair will be pleased to recog- 

 nize any delegates from other states who may wish to improve this 

 opportunity of saying a few words in befalf of dry farming." 



MR. GEORGE, Montana: " I have only a rew remarks to make. I 

 want to assure you that we appreciate the nice things on behalf of this 

 Congress that our friend Senator McColl, of Australia, has said. We ap- 

 preciate their visit more than any others that have visited us, for they 

 came farther and made more sacrifices. I have entered into the purpose 

 of this Congress to elevate it and I believe everyone representing my 

 community is here for that purpose. I think that men who enter into a 

 cause that appears hard and difficult, where sacrifice is to be made, grow 

 stronger and more earnest than any other people, and I wish to thank 

 these gentlemen who have come so far to this country for the nice things 

 they say about us, and I hope they will see their way clear to come and 

 be with us in the future. I believe the time will come when we all will 

 be magnanimous enough to go to their country and have a congress. E 

 believe a revolution is going on with the American people for the common 

 good of all men. Any man who strives and works for a good cause, we 

 should give him the right hand of fellowship, it doesn't matter what land 

 or place he comes from. The community in which I live is made up of 

 men from every state in the Union and from every nation. They are a 

 check upon the others. We do not respect a man because he has made a 

 million dollars; we respect him for what he represents in the community, 

 for good in that community, both physically and morally. I wish to say 

 a word at this time to the ladies. I am especially fond of the ladies. I 

 have an elegant, beautiful wife at home and several children, ana have 

 been convinced for years that the wife was the master spirit; that she 

 ^s-as the superior of man. I agree with the scientist who found that woman 

 instead of being created from the rib of man, was first created; that in- 

 stead of eating the forbidden fruit, she took some wax gum from the trc.e
