CHAP. 1] THE GOVERNOR 91] remain, intensely loyal to the Crown and Empire. Evidence of their devoted loyalty has never been lacking whenever an occasion has arisen for its manifestation. IX. The subjects of His Majesty in South Australia aspire to be regarded not merely as citizens of the State and Commonwealth, but also as participators in the broader life of the Empire. With this end in view, they desire that such action should be taken by your Lordship as will allow them to occupy, within their own State, positions of the highest honor, trust, and responsibility, such as have in the past been held by able and worthy servants of the King from the Mother Country.

Le Hunte, K.C.M.G., will soon be leaving South Australia, having completed a successful term of office, may I be permitted to ask that before a new appointment to the office of Governor for this State is made your Lordship will give due considera- tion to the views which, on behalf of my Government, I now have the honor to place before you. I have, &c., T. Price, Premier. Lord Crewe replied as follows in a dispatch of October 9. 1908, addressed to the Governor :— Sir,—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, No. 44, of the 24th of August, enclosing
