They were among our pioneers and state builders. great men who have built up our State and made it what it is today. The flower of the youth of New England and of the Middle States have come out to our great western country. and they have not only aided us in the settlement and development of our country but in Americanizing our large foreignborn population and infusing into them American energy and enterprise and the spirit of loyalty to the institutions of this country. Thus in the great State of North Dakota. while their immigration has been extensive. especially from the countries of northern Europe. they have also had among their immigrants the flower of the people of the older States. who came there and helped to make it the mighty Commonwealth which it is today. I think it can be truly said of the people who have settled there. whether they are native or foreign born. that they are all infused with a spirit of devoted loyalty to and profound faith in the institutions of this country. Mr. President.
