Of these lights assembled under the
leadership Of Rev. Charles +. Dole to
cast their refulgence over Rev. Mr..
Dole's cousin. our Governor. Our
Governor evidently intoxicated by the
surroundings said some things better

of the gathering seemed to be one of
approval of President Roosevelt's most
recent acts and expressions bearing on
the affairs of this Territory.
