(Additional Social News Page 9) SCENES OF INTENSE PA TRIOTIC FER VOR ENACTED AT ANNUAL DINNER OF PENNSYLVANIA STATE SOCIETY [Photo by Roshon Studio] ANNUAL DINNER OF STATE SOCI GREAT OCCASION Patriotism ran riot at the annual | dinner of the Pennsylvania State So-1 ciety last evening. The event took I place in Chestnut Street Auditorium and more than 600 men connected with; the State service and a number of well-known citizens from this and other cities participated. Among those present were Mrs. Brumbaugh and many wives of State officials. The great hall was decorated from floor to rafter in red, white and blue. Countless flags and pennants of the national colors, combined with the beautiful flag of Pennsylvania adorned the walls and hung in festoons from the ceiling. A lysautiful patriotic sot ting filled the stage at the front. The I auditorium never looked better nor | has it housed very many more impres- ] sive gatherings. The feature of the evening was the presentation to Governor Brumbaugh of a large portrait of himself. The painting, done in oil, was the gift of the Governor's military staff. As the guests were seated the or chestra struck up the national air and the curtain of the stage ran up to show the tlgure of a beautiful girl posed as the Goddess of Liberty, her brow wreathed with a starry crown and bearing a large silk American flag. The striking picture was greeted with thunders of applause. Public Service Commissioner John S. Rilling introduced State Librarian ; Thomas Lynch Montgomery as toast master. Mr. Montgomery in a word [explained the objects of the Pennsyl vania State Society saying: ■ "The society is for the promotion of i good fellowship among its members I and the cherishing of a State spirit; the promotion of efficiency and econ omy in the administration of the af j fairs of our Commonwealth. The dis ! semination of information relating to and the manner of administering our State government, together with a knowledge of the history and of the varied interests and affairs of our State and the upholding of the dignity of our Commonwealth and the en couraging of a patriotic devotion to our State." Patriotic Addresses | The addresses of the evening teem ed with patriotism. The guest of honor was former Governor Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, a warm friend of Gov ernor Brumbaugh. Mr. Willis, Ad jutant General Thomas J. Stewart, Emerson Collins, Deputy Attorney General, and the Governor, himself, delivered the principal addresses of the evening. The portrait of the Governor was unveiled by General Stewart at the conclusion of one of the most eloquent addresses that well known after-din ner speaker ever made. He paid a hiKh tribute to the Governor on be half of the staff of which he was the chosen representative. Speaking also for the other mem j bers of the staff he made an eloquent plea for the volunteer soldier, who he J said, had in fcv-Rone wars wrested vie j tory from every foe that has ever faced the Stars and Stripes. Too much, j he added, had been said in disparage ment of the volunteer and that this ] kind of discussion should cease at a time when the fate of the nation may depend lamely upon the men who will I lay down their dailv tasks and leave their homes voluntarily to take up arms in defense of their nation. He predicted that the outcome of the present war would see the volunteer HARRISBURO TELEGRAPH with the banners of victory in his grasp and the laurels of a grateful country on his brow. General Stewart pointed also to the National Guard which is to-day an efficient body because it prepared when it was the fashion to sneer at preparedness. When he reached that part of his address which had to do with the Gov ernor himself, the Executive sat with bowed head as applause ran sharply through the hall. "It is the desire of your military family," said General Stewart, addressing the Governor, "to present to you this tribute of our re gard, love and esteem —their admira tion for your loyalty, for all that you I have done and all that you have promised you will do to up-hold the traditions of Pennsylvania in this crisis. May misfortune always be' a stranger to you and may your path be always one of prosperity." The Governor, who sat with his head bowed throughout the unveiling exercises, during which the audience stood, was frankly too overcome with emotion to speak when he arose to ac cept the portrait and it was with diffi culty that he found voice to reply. The Governor Speaks The Governor spoke feelingly of the part Pennsylvania must play -in the great national problems now at issue and of the responsibilities of himself and all others of the State Govern ment who have a part therein. "We must continue to keep Pennsylvania where the State always has stood and where, please God, she always will stand." He made an earnest plea for popular support in the conduct of Pennsylvania's part of the war, draw ing attention to the fact that by rea son of her location, her resources, her wealth and her great population Penn sylvania must take a leading place among the States and be prepared to contribute far more than smaller and less fortunate Commonwealths. Former Governor Willis in bis ad dress made a strong appeal for na tional support. "This is the time for citizens of all walks of life to rally to the colors," he said, and added that he had no doubt where Pennsylvania stood on this question. The history of die United States is filled with the mighty deeds and the wonderfully patriotic services of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvanians," he said. He pro nounced Governor Brumbaugh the "greatest Governor of the greatest State in tlie union and said the peo ple of Ohio and other Commonwealths are watching to see how loyally the people of this State line up behind him. >lr. Collin*' Masterful Address Mr. Collins' speach was a masterful presentation of the Ideals of the Am erican people and the great part they have played through the war of the Revolution, the Civil War and now in the world conflict on the side, of hu manity and in behalf of freedom and the rights of the individual. He point ed a beautiful word picture of the visit of LaFayette to our shores In the days when French assistance spelled victory for the American cause and spoke feelingly of the return we are about to make to France in her hour of trial. Mr. Collins also spoke confidently of the part Pennsylvania will play in the national crisis. "It is my hope, during this war," he said, "to see the Stars and Stripes floating in France and at the head of the division that shall place them there the figure of that rugged, red-blooded American, Theodore Roosevelt." Mr. Collins was greeted with enthusiastic ap plause and there were evidently many who agreed with him in his hope to see the Colonel given an opportunity for service. A social hour witli dancing followed the speaking.
