Farewell Dinner Given by Harris

tion For Executive

praised for the constructive work of
his administration and doomed for
election again in 1918 at a farewell
dinner given in his honor at the Har-
risburg Cluo on Saturday night The
dinner was unique in that it was, the
first of the kind given by Harrisburg
ers to retiring Governor in many
years and elaborate in every appoint
ment. The idea of the dinner orlgl-
mated with number of personal
friends of the Governor in the Har-
risburg Club and men with whom the
Governor had been in contact during
his term were invited. 1t was twice
as large as planned
About the board gathered men of
prominence in the life of Harrisburg
and some from distance, who came
to honor the Governor who will re-
tire to private life next Tuesday after
most successful administration.
There were men of every shade of po-
litical belief and they all cheered the
suggestion that the Governor return.
This came in the form of a song
arranged to the tune of "Tipperary"
and the closing lines of the chorus
were
There's hope in every heart here
| That you'll be Governor again."
| When the song was sung as a solo
everyone rose to the chorus and
cheered the idea to the roof. This
| thought also ran through the speeches
| of the evening and the Governor was
called upon to say whether ne would
accept the nomination. He smiled ana
said that he enjoyed his resi-
dence in Harrisburg and thoroughly
appreciated the tribute of the evening
as well as the honor of being guest at
the dinner.
| William NJ. Donaldson, president of
the club, was POSTMASTER and his ref
| erence to the Governor was heartily
applauded and cheered. The speakers
of the evening were President Judge
George Kunkel, Judge S. ]. NJ. McCar-
rell, Mayor John K. Royal. Adjutant
General Thomas ]. Stewart eX-Sena-
tor John e. Fox, Samuel Kunkel and
Charles II. Bergner, others beins
called upon for impromptu remarks.
The decorations were Southern smi-
lax and roses. The whole banquet
| hall was hung with SmilaX and the
gallery was hung with flags, the State
| flag being over the choir of honor.
The souvenirs were red leather book
lets bearing the Governors signature
on the cover and containing a hand
some picture. That presented to the
Governor was signed by everyone of
the diners.
The dinner afforded many an op-
portunity to say good-by to the Gov
ernor and to express their approval
of his administration.
The roses which decorated the table
were sent to Mrs. Tener with the
compliments of the diners.

victory in the last minute of play.
From the start Harrisburg led and
maintained its fast pace until the mid
die of the last half, when State pulled
together and the winning basket was
scored by Blakslee, a freshman, when
he tipped the ball into the net from
