AT ODD FELLOWS HALL.

Hon. j. w. Holmes presided at the
meeting and spoke briefly Of the Nation
al Issues, stating that a study of the pro-
gress Of the United States was also a
study of the Republican party; thew
both stand for prosperity. He also
called attention to Mr.. Warmers past
records and qualifications, and then in.
troduced Kelly S. Scarf, Of Ithaca. Mr.
Scarf also took up national issues and
spoke at length Of 1.-THE man with the
big stick and how he had maintained
the honor and integrity Of this nation.
Patrick II. Kelly was introduced next
and he leveled his guns at the opposing
faction that says Mr. Warner would be
controlled by corporations and sights as
proof to the contrary the famous Michi.
gan Central Railway case now in the
courts which Mr.. Warner is prosecuting
and which will turn back over eighteen
million back taxes and interest TO the
state treasury. and over three millions
back to its counties. Mr.. Kelly was

Fred NJ. Warner then in an honest
and forcible manner, and in plain,
straightforward statements, placed him
self before the people on the primary re-
form question; and if any true republi-
can there had been swayed to place any
faith in the statements which are made
by some of the state papers and demo-
cratic followers, assailing the character
and political record of Mr.. Warner.
they could scarcely help being impressed
by his sincerity. He was listened to
with great interest and the contrast in
the enthusiasm created by Mr.. Ferris
speech week ago was very apparent.
Mr.. Warner made many friends and an
equal number If votes by his visit and
talk.
William Alden Smith arrived on
later train and was the d st speaker 10

seats were probably hard and uncomfort.

TO everyone there that they all had an

declared that we did not want

tribute to our Congressman, A. b.
Darragh, with whom he has worked
side by side for the past four years, and
would continue to do so for the next two
years. He stated that he knew OF no
co-worker in the halls Of congress who
was thought more of or more highly
respected than the Congressman from
the Eleventh District, whose light was
continually growing brighter, whose
ildelity, loyalty and painstaking meth
DDS had endeared him in the hearts of
everyone with whom he came in contact,
and in whom the old soldier would ever
have true friend
In referring to Mr.. Ferris he stated
that the professor was heir to every

the past 20 years aud they were many,
and once aspired to a seat in congress
at the hands Of the Populistic party,
but was defeated.
In speaking of Mr.. Parker he referred

Secretary Of State, had met every cues.

the people Of Michigan may rest assured
that he will continue his honorable

The meeting closed with an address
by Patrick Kelly, candidate for Super.

ANOTHER Big GAIN.
Union Telephone Company Win Conidera'
BILE Prestige In Owosso.

The merchants OF Owosso have real
lied for some time that two telephone
companies in the city is nuisance and
an unnecessary expense AMI have taken
steps to get rid of this evil. Recently
all the grocers and florists, dry goods,
hardware and furniture dealers have
signed an agreement whereby they will
throw out the Bell phone on October LIST
and retain the Union phone only. So
emphatic are they in their decisions
that it is further agreed that in case the
Bell Company will not remove tele-
phones that they will themselves discon-
meet them and remove them from
the walls. The Union Telephones will
be the only telephone in their places OF
business.
The Union Company's exchange is
four times AS large as the Bell company's
and is giving a much better service.
During the summer the Union Com
pany largely increased its exchange and
added over 250 rural subscribers in the
surrounding country as well large
number in the city, so that now their
exchange has over 900 subscribers. On
the other hand the Bell Company has
less than 25O subscribers and with such
a small exchange the merchants can get
along without the service of the Bell
Company entirely. The Union have also
opened a new exchange IN Pewamo with
80 subscribers and also added 30 new
phones in Carson City.
