will flourish from generation to generation 1t brings
together in a spirit of harmony and congenialty men
OF all parties who have taken prominent part in the
upbuldng of the city and helps brighten and stimu

Public interest in tie banquet this year was some

OF the honest working classes is without foundation;
that all elements of community are entitled to fair

between capital and labor will be so adjusted that
