and supporters, Luther Egbert

The impressive oath of office
still was ringing in the ears OF
his hearers when the new Gov

determination to carry out to the
letter his campaign pledges be-
fore all else. He told them his
triumph was not a personal one,
but a victory for the cause he
represented, and that he meant
to serve as the agent of that
cause.
AS he reiterated his faith in
the people, his belief in their
right to dictate their government
'git broke upon his hearers that
here at last was q Governor who
In the height of his power re-
membered the people, and cheer
after cheer broke out. Time and
again he was interrupted BY
demonstrations so spontaneous
that they carried the memory
back to the fever and excitement
of the campaign. And after he
had concluded, scores came uE
TO shake his hand-men come te
express their faith in him, then
belief il his sincerity.
Following the inauguration
J the Governor and Mrs. Hall and
their son and daughter proceeded
"a the Governors parlor in the
Statehouse, where they held ar
informal reception.
