CORRESPONDENTS HOLD THEIR 24TH ANNUAL DINNER Legislative Newspaper Men Discuss Topics of Day Seri ously and Frivolously The biennial dinner of the Penn sylvania Legislative Correspondents was held at the Penn-Harris Hotel last evening in celebration of the twenty-fourth anniversary of the or ganization, with Governor Sproul. Attorney General Shaffer, Senator Clarence J. Buckman, president pro tern, of the Senate: Robert S. Span gler, Speaker of the House; Senator Edwin H. Vare, W. Harry Baker, secretary of the Senate: Harry S. McDevitt, secretary to the Gover nor: George Nox McCain and E. J. Stackpole as guests of honor, the last two named having been among the charter members of the asso ciation away back in 1895. The affair was one of the most delightful in the history of the or ganization. The tables were deco rated with huge bunches of roses and peonies and the programs bore the coat of arms of the State in gold. Lists of departed members and of everv member since the for mation of the society, were includ ed. During the dinner an orchestra furnished music and a number of cabaret features were introduced. Governor Speaks John R. Ball, one of the most widely-known newspapermen of the State, representing the Pittsburgh Post and Sun, president of the as sociation. was toastmaster, and sat with Governor Sproul on his right and Senator Buckman on his left. The Governor gave the corre spondents what one of the mem bers pronounced a "real heart-to heart talk," saying that he believed when the sum of the accomplish ments of the present Legislature has been cast the total will equal the best work of any Legislature along progressive and beneficial lines in the past decade or more. Referring to the length of the legislative ses sion, which had been criticised in the newspapers, the Governor said that lie believes the time is past when the Legislature, presiding as it does over the ever-increasing af fairs of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania could, with credit to itself and justice to the people, , transact its business and get away ! in a few weeks. He said time is re- | ouired to ascertain the sentiment of ; the people on the various subjects | before the body and in the end a i few additional weeks are more help- j fill than otherwise. The Governor talked to the cor- ! respondents "as one newspaperman ( to another" in a personal way that ; brought out frequent bursts of ap plause and constant ripples of laughter. „ ... Attorney Genera', Shaffer deliv ered a wonderfully eleoubijt address on the history of politics in Penn svlvania, painting a series or wora pictures of remarkable scones in trie i old days of the Quay regime that ought to be transferred to paper for -the benefit of a vast number of peo- | pie throughout the State who i would thoroughly enjoy them, indeed Mr. Shaffer made a plea to , the correspondents for just that j thing, saving that one or more of j them who. have been through the mill for years ought to write such a ; history. . The Speaker's "Dog One of the humorous features of j the evening was and address by | Hiram G. Andrews, of the North j \meriean, who presented to Speaker i Spangler a large toy dog. which he | said was the much-discussed "dog j which the Speaker has been quoted ( in the newspapers as hunting and j hoped that Mr. Spangler's mind be ing taken ' from the doglmnt he | would he able to concentrate on the i affairs of the House and bring about | an early adjournment. The Speaker responded in like j fashion, saying that the doghunt j had indeed caused him much dis- | turbance and he was happy to have | "this figment to console him if he could not have the promise of the Senate to restore the real thing. | As he concluded the guests showed | their appreciation by barking in - chorus and singing, "You've Got to Quit Kickin* My Dog Aroun'." Senator Vare told the newspaper men that so far as he is concerned he "feels that every knock is a boost" and that ho had no hard | feelings for the newspapermen who j "occasionally touched him up a bit more than he liked." He intimated i to Speaker Spangler that his dog is | not vet out of the woods and hint ed* darkly at plans for kicking it around a lot more in the three weeks before adjournment. Ed J. Hart, of the Scranton Times, responding to a mock read ing of one of the Philadelph'a bills by W. P. Gallagher, of the Wilkes- Barre Record, gave an excellent takeoff of a recent address by a cer tain member of the House wh'ch has caused considerable merriment on tbe Hill. After the performance Ed. was advised that he had missed his calling; he should have been on the stage. E. J. Stackpoie, who with George Nox McCain and Walter J. Christy of the Pittsburgh Gazette Times, were charter members of the or ganization, was culled for an ad dress on the "old days" but he rap idly drifted into a speech which had to do. with the tremendous part the newspapers of Pennsylvania had to do with the winning of the war and he made ar.* earnest plea for real freedom of the .press in the support of AmeHCan institutions but not that freedom which spells license through which certain foreign in fluences are endeavoring to disrupt the republic. George Xox McCain George Nox McCain, one of the most noted of the correspondents of other years, happened in town yesterday and was at once included among the guests of honor.
