GOV, CARRIERS
HARMONY DINNER
DINE WITH THE
EXECUTIVE AND MANY COMPLI-
MENTs ARE EXCHANGED.

Governor Carriers dinner to the mem
bers of the Legislature at the Alexan-
der Young Hotel Saturday evening, was
love feast, with bouquets enough for
both governor and legislature to
smother each other in.
The governor told the legislators
what fine statesmen they were and
the Legislators, being more numerous
and stimulated by the emulation OF
rival oratory, told the governor in va
rious phrase that he was undoubtedly
the blonde haired boy" The oblite-
ration of party lines was the theme Of
a good many speeches, "the governors
party" in the oratory of a number of
senators and representatives, having
replaced all other party labels. The
vindication of the Hawaiian as le-
gislatOr, 1.-THE redemption of his re-
cord" was the theme of other speak
ers. The tactful guidance Of the gov
ernor was spoken of more than once.
Various theories to account for the
short session and its inexpensiveness
were advanced d, Speaker Beckley hold
ing that it was accounted for by the
fact that there was no graft in sight
and the members had to register their
warrants.
The dinner was given in the grill
room. All the guests were seated at
one long table, the governor at the
head with President Crabbe of the
senate at his right and Speaker Beck
ley of the House at his left. Secre-
tary Atkinson sat at the opposite end
of the table. The guests were as fol-
lows:

During the evening Representative
Aylett spoke for the band. He said
he would not urge the governor to
sign the appropriation for the band,
but he would ask Secretary Atkinson to
urge the governor not to veto the
Item. Secretary Atkinson took up
the task with ardor and between him,
and dozen or more of the other
speakers, the governor was bombarded
with arguments why the band appro-
priation should be retained. Repre-
sentative Lewis was almost the only
one who raised even a mild protest a.
gainst it, and he was silenced on that
subject with a chorus of other voices.
speeches were made by the COVER
nor, who congratulated the legislature
and told the members that to a large
extent they had redeemed themselves;

drade, Aylett, Chillingworth, Harris,
Kumalae, Long Gill; Gandall and by
w. X. Harrington and F. ]. Tesla.
Governor Carter and Secretary At
kinson alternated in introducing the
eakers and banded compliments and
jokes and personal illusions to the
provoking of much laughter. There
were frequent cheers for the governor
and not few for the legislature and
different members Thereof.
