GOVERNOR'S MESSAGES.
is now the controlling ambition of the
Chief Executive to render available
for the use of our country our every
resource, our nerve, enthusiasm and
our prayers in an effort to make
Texas a most potent factor in reestablishing
the world in the peace
which has been made secure.' Untrammeled
by the necessity of providing
for the needs of war, but still
guided by the same high principles
which made this State effective in
War, there is scarcely a limit to the
potential ability of Texas, and of
yourselves, to participate in the glorious
reconstruction.
I bespeak for the people of Texas
an abiding faith that before your
labors shall have been concluded in
this session laws will have been enacted
which will make more speedy
and more certain a sucessful reconstruction
of our business, which has
been interrupted by .the recent international
conflict-that the people of
our State will be a happier, more
prosperous and more useful people
because of your unselfish work.
The door to my office will be open,
and in order that you may help me
and I may help you to better accomplish
the purposes which bring us
here, I invite the members of your
body to confer with me freely and
frequently with respect to the work
we have in hand.
Respectfully submitted,
W. P. HOBBY,
Governor of Texas.
