And now, one who has become
a member of our family by marriage...
:55:12
my son's wife, a chief's daughter...
:55:16
a full-blooded Osage Indian...
:55:19
Ruby Big Elk, Mrs. Cimarron Cravat.
:55:28
I greet you in words taught me as a child.
:55:32
May you long travel the path of life...
:55:35
in days that are calm and peaceful.
:55:47
And my grandchildren...
:55:49
Felice and Yancey II.
:56:03
I'm sorry, this afternoon,
that I cannot present to you...
:56:09
my husband...
:56:12
but he's out of the city.
:56:14
I know he would be glad
to be here to greet you.
:56:23
As for myself...
:56:25
I can only thank you
for the office you have conferred upon me.
:56:29
The women of Oklahoma...
:56:31
have helped build a prairie wilderness
into the state of today.
:56:36
The holding of public office
by a woman is a natural step.
:56:42
I pledge you that I will do my best.
