As is the usual custom in the clos
ing hours of the Legislature the rep
resentatives and senators Friday
evening DOTTED their garb of states
manship and raised the testers cap
and bells above the Speakers gavel
for the few joyous hours which pre-
clude the finish of their legislative du-
ties.
A crowded gallery in the hall of
the House as we'll as the massed floor
with every seat taken and hundreds
standing watched proceedings which
partook so largely of the atmosphere
and color of the carnival-the mock
session of the S0th Legislature.
And it was we'll staged. the parts
well chosen. the actors capable and
efficient, the music diverting. The
serious actods of the forum bur-
lesqued their attitudes upon all the
important questions which have come
before the session.
1t was just $40 o'clock when Speak
er HinckIey of South Portland was
brought into the House in his pala
tial car CD and escorted to the
Speakers chair. He named as his
messenger McGlaufiin of Pembroke,
and the pages, referred TO as the an
gelic twins, Varney of Windham and
Dram of Bristol. McIlheron of Lew
iston was chosen as clerk The selec-
tons for heads of the committees
We're vigorously app1auded.
Rep. Bragdon of Perham on behalf
of the members of the House present
ed Rep. McIlheron of Lewiston as a
symbol of the feelings of his fellow
members and as tribute of their I'M
dying affection, a big juicy lemon.
The recipient with tears streaming
down his ace and with every indica-
ton of intense emotion accepted the
gift and said, II am glad to take at
least one thing home to Lewiston to
show my constituents that I have
been present in this Legislature, even
if it is a lemon"
Rep. Dram of Bristol made a strong
and logical speech advocating the
holding of prize fights on Sunday as
a mild and innocent form of childish
amusement. Rep. Gardiner spoke on
the resolve that members of the Le-
gislature be prohibited from using
water as a beverage and held that the
act should not include bottled water
Original verses were sung by the
Cherries Quartet, composed of FIVE
sweet singers of the House, this be-
ing more of a quartet than quartets
usually are.
Rep. Croxford of Newport recited
one of Holman Days poems and Rep.
Spear of Rockport delivered in his in
imitable manner some French Cana
dian dialect poems for which he has
a high reputation.
Rep. Rounds was introduced as the
Governor of Peaks Island and opposed
with a vigorous veto an act to con-
meet Peaks Island with South Port
land by means of a ferry Zine. The
veto was not sustained, the unani-
nous vote of the House being regis
tered against the governor.
Rep. Hunton gave very vigorous
defence of the act to protect skunks
against the ravages of hens, which
was later indefinitely postponed.
The mock session took the form of
song fest which lasted until 10 o.
clock when the regular order of bust
ness was resumed in the House and
the mock session had passed into the
limbo OF forgotten things.
