lieutenant governor, the president Of
the senate and the speaker of the house
at the speakers desk, where Lieut..
Gov. Coon presided over the joint ses-
sion.
The reception given Mr.. Piles and
the enthusiasm that greeted his speech
were remarkable in their volume.
Senator Piles was plainly affected by
the demonstration. In q voice that
tremb led at first he declared that this
was the first time in his life that he
had been unable to properly express
his thanks for an honor conferred on
him. He said that he had intended,
when he came to Olympia, that if
elected be would discuss some Of the
more important issues that would be
brought to the consideration Of con.
gress, but now the time had come he
found himself so worn, wearied and
overcome that it was absolutely i'm.
possible for him to discuss matters of
that nature.
Down in the depths of his heart he
said there was determination to rep
resent in the United States senate ev-
cry county, every city, every town,
every village, every hamlet, every pre-
cinct and every road crossing in the
state of Washington. This assertion
was greeted with cheers.
After the close of Mr.. Piles remarks
Mr.. Sweeny was called for and express.
ed his satisfaction with the outcome.
stating that no one was prouder of the
action Of the legislature than himself
unless 1t might be Mr.. Piles.
There were also calls for Foster and
Wilson. but neither gentleman was
present to respond.
The joint session then adjourned
sine die.
Following the dissolution of the ses.
sion practically every member of the
house and senate and scores Of employees
and spectators formed long line down
the center aisle of the house, and Sen.
ator Piles, who took his stand near
the speakers desk, shook hands with
each as he passed by.
