GOV. EDWARD z. dunno IN
QUOTED INTO OFFICE.
Concluded from page IL

signed to the seats of honor, members
of the state senate were ushered into
the house of representatives, then its
speaker, William Mckinley raped for
order and announced that the Honor
able members of the Supreme Court
had arrived and every one in the house
arose to their feet while Chief Justice
Frank Z. Dunn, and the associate JUS
tees were being seated; then with three
more strokes of his gravel, the speaker
called on Capt. James II. Farrell, chair
man of the joint inaugural committee
to play his important part in the eere-
monies and he stated that all of "the
incoming state officers and the outgoing
state officers were present." then
promptly at u O'Clock, Chief Justice
Dunn, administered the oath of Office
to Governor Dunno and to the other
new state officials.
Governor Charles s. Deneen and
Governor Edward F. Dunno, highly and
warmly praised each other in the fol-
lowing manner.
Speech by Gov. Deneen.
Gov. Deneen then read his valediet-
DRY to the state. He began by telling
of the complex system of government
in force and referred to the fact that
a change in administrations does not
result in any break in the continuity
or disturb the regularity of the work
of the government itself. He thanked
those who had aided him during his
eight years of administration.
He said much of the support was
given by Democrats in the matters
which were non-politieal and expressed
his gratitude to them. He continued:
81 am sure I cannot express any
better wish for my successor than that
he may receive such. support from the
other departments of government and
from public opinion as will enable him
to meet the exacting demands of his
high Office.
Praises Career Of Dunno.
81 have had the good fortune to
know Gov. Dunno for many years;
and have been generally familiar with
his career as lawyer, as judge, and as
mayor of the city of Chicago, and I
may say here-and it is a pleasure
to say it-that the gubernatOriaI cam
paign, long and vigorous as it was, did
not degenerate into personalities or
engender any personal feeling between
us.
''I need not say that Gov. Dunno
has my best wishes for success in solv-
ing the problems which viii confront
him in caring for the vast administra-
tive business of the state.
al wish to express my sense of OBJ
legation to the people of the state who
have so highly honored me with their
confidence and who have so often ex-
tended to Mrs. Deneen and myself their
generous hospitality.
al wish also to express my deep ap-
probation Of the eourtesies which have
been uniformly extended to myself and
Mrs. Deneen by the people of Spring
field. For Gov. Dunno and his good
wife and family it is unnecessary for
me to bespeak the same unfailing
eourtesies. This will come to them
naturally both by reason Of their per-
sOnal worth and the genuine hospital
ity and good heartedness of the people
of the capital eity.''
Reply by New Governor.
Mr.. Dunno replied with equally com
plimentsry remarks as follows:
"Before following the presidents
that have always obtained, that of
reading my inaugural address, I deem
it a pleasure to express q few words
in appreciation of the kindly eourtes-
les extended to myself and my wife
by Gov. Deneen and his amiable wife
between the day Of election and the day
Of this inaugural Any courtesy that
was possible to be done has been done
by the retiring governor and his eourte-
Gus wife.
As. Gov. Deneen has said, the last
campaign, a vigorous campaign, was
conducted on both sides-bOth by him
self with great ability and by myself
with best ability-but during All that
vigorous campaign not one word was
said nor was there one thing done by
Charles s. Deneen or Edward r. Dunno
