One thing you can’t do on a | hunt, and that is to carry a brass band. | You cannot combine hunting bears with a Fourth of July celebration. | Seriously, I am going to beg the people | of Colorado to treat me on this hunt | just as well as the people of Texas and Oklahoma treated me on the wolf hunt. If a lot of newspapermen start to come | in after me I will have to come home; that is all there is to it. The thing they can do that will please me best is to let me be on that hunt alone and i pay no earthly attention to me or any of my party while I am off in the/ mountains. i “I want to ask the newspaper men, | and especially the newspaper men of this great State of yours, for a fair show and not to try to follow me up. | If they do it, it probably will mean | | that I shall have to give up the hunt. | | 1f they won't do it, I will agree that if anything of any earthly Interest haj ! pens T will have the news sent out.” At the conclusion of“the address the President was taken in an automobile | | to the home of P.

And here 1 see men of myv old regiment, men who were with me in ! the days that will always remain most vivid in my mind. I wish to thank the men of the National Guard for turn- ing out as my escort. It is 4 pleasure to see them and have them think of us veterans of the late war. Let me sav how glad I am to see the school chil- dren’'s faces.

There is no one thing possibly ! excepting Panama that I feel is more essential in connection with this ad- ministration than the part taken by the National ¢« Government in helping the irrigation movement in the West, I believe in the century the great development of this country is going to come through irrigation. I think - our own people have but a faint idea of the amount that can be done with it. “I have come to the State of Colo- rado this time on a holiday. But I am so glad to have the chance of saving just a few words of greeting to the people themsélves.
