LEGISLATORS Of All Parties
Cheer Governor Carter
And Sound Territorial Praises

.lsn that every member Of the Legis.
lure would be reelected and was nat
Tally given a .rousing jovial cheer for
his good will.
In responding to the call for the press
Mr.. Harrington said he would not at
tempt to epitomize the varied senti-
ments which the press had given voice
regarding the Legislature, owing to
the great brotherly love that existed
between the newspapers Of the Terri
tory. Asking the pardon of the host
and the guests Of the evening he didn't
think the Governor or the legislators
should have too many bouquets thrown
at them. They had performed their
duty as American citizens. the man
who did his duty was not entitled TO
extraordinary credit but he who failed
to fulfill his duty as a citizen was de-
serving severe criticism. The session
had shown Hawaii 80 thoroughly cap
able OF self government that the next
Legislature should enact a County law
that would stick.
Representative Lewis. called upon as
the man with the hammer from Hilo.
said he never hit q nail on the head
that he didn't drive 1t home. When
he came down to attend the session he
found the Hilo fire department left out
by the Governor but Hilo had been
saved from the threatened loss. The
secret Of the Governors success was
that the legislators were willing to help
him because he helped them. Lewis
hoped as time went on the people woulc
have good sense and all join hands as
Republicans.
senator McCandless. responding to
the call for son Of toll ana a well Dor
er, said that the failures OF the pre-
vious Legislature were as much the
fault OF the Executive as of the Legis-
lators. Members In former times had
to 80 hunting for information among
the various departments. No one at
the head Of anairs seemed to know
what was going on. Now they had ev-
erything ready, a definite scheme OF
action and all the information they
wanted was ready on demand. Great
praise was due the Governor for the
business-like methods which had done
much to assist the legislators.
/ The lone Democrat, Senator Palmer
miring the Governor though he was
not OF his politics. He had stood by
the Governor because he believed he
was striving to do the right thing. The
record made by the Legislature was 9
good one and county government
would prove equally successful.
