waved their flags. ending with a cheer.
Hon. Grove L. Johnson. who acted as
Ioastmaster. called them to order and
made brief but eloquent address
he SAID 1t was great occasion An
honor had been conferred on Sacra-
mento, the city we all love- All were
proud OF the honor conferred on the
city and on the order, and rejoiced that
the General of the Order of Foresters
OF America, 1900 members of which
are in this State, has been selected from
the city OF Sacramento. We tender him
reception and a greeting out of our
hearts, our hopes and the aspira tions of
the order, because we know him and
nave seen him, as an honored member
of the order, working for it, and feel
that he is fitted to be it's General He
knew that every member present be-
ileves in the order and regards it as
part of himself, and were glad that its
destlnies were placed in the hands of
one of them. They know the record he
VIII. make will be equaled by few and
excelled by none. To be chosen to pre-
side over the deliberations of an order
like this is an honor to be justly proud
OF, and they are glad it had fallen on
him. He would call on the Grand Chief
Ranger to respond to the toast, The
Grand Court Of California
JUDGE HUGHES RESPONDS.
When Judge Hughes rose to respond,
he was greeted with three rousing
cheers.
lie said If ever there was a time in
his life that he felt he had more in hi;
heart than in his head, it was now. If
he tried to express to them the pride
he felt at the honor done him, he would
fail. He was sure there could be no
greater honor conferred by any power
en- earth than when a man receives
from an organization like this, of his
| fellow citizens, the high and distin-
! guished honor it had conferred UPON
him. When he was elected to this high
position, his heart beat with pride, but
when it came tonight to this wonder
full demonstration, words failed him. To
him as a representative of Sacramento
| Forestry, this great demonstration was
| made and he teit it as much as If it
were intended for him personally. No
more intelligent, patriotic and liberty
loving citizens than the Sacramento
Foresters can be found in any State in
our fair Union. He felt, after he had
visited the Grand Court, and seen as
its delegates, SO many men of ability
and integrity, fit to fill positions any
where, that there could be no greater
honor than to be chosen as the head of
such an order. If they could feel as he
did when the flags were waving they
would know why he loved the Foresters
He felt unable to tell them how CRATE
| full he was for this grand demonstra-
ton. He should never forget it, and
would do his best to fulfill the duties
Of his position.
His address was greeted with cheers
that shook the hall.
A male quartet then sang THE Star
Spangled Banner" while the audience
again waved the flags and cheered
| when they finished.
SENATOR WOLFE SPEAKS.
| The POSTMASTER then called on State
Senator E. l. Wolfe to respond to the
toast of Liberty"
He said that when he left Sacra-
| mento three months ago he had not
| expected to come back so soon all
though he had hoped to come back,
and with the assistance of his friend,
the POSTMASTER, elect a Republican
United States Senator He still hoped
