tiles, DR.. Whiteside of Franklin and

members OF the epIleptic commission,
arrived in Plymouth at 6:36 p. m
Thursday evening from Knox, Ind.
They were met at the station by
the reception committee the band and
the militia and escorted to the Ross

ty guests, a splendid banquet having
been prepared under the auspices of
the business men of the city.
Senator Parks was chosen toast

Professions" S. N Stevens THE Best
Schools in Indiana" Geo. H. Thayer,
Our Manufacturing Interests" DR..
Borton, "Our Health Advantages;
Daniel Mcdonald The Beautiful
Lakes of Marshall county,"
A glance at these names and sub
jects is sufficient evidence that the
advantages of Marshall county were
ably and eloquently presented.
Gov. Hanly responded in an ad-
dress which was admirable in every
respect and made him many new
friends here He referred to his re-
ception and said that of the 46 places
he had visited he had found this to
be the most cordial, the committee
had visited | said the same thing at
Knox today, and at each of the other
places visited, but had not then been
at Plymouth"
The governor said that Marshall
county had set the pace for obcying
law by having the first county t. as
urer to pay into the treasury the in
terest on public funds, and he should
recommend TO the next legislature
to be carried out by the state officers
and all officers having public funds in
their hands
Senator John W. Parks, who acted
as POSTMASTER, in introducing Cover
nor Hanly, said that he was one of
the best known governors in America
and that our governor stood with
Folk, Lafollette and the governor of
Kansas in the estimation of the peo-
pie; that he stood for the enforce
ment of law and for honesty in public
Office and against gratis of every
kind. In referring to this Governor
Hanly said he had no apologies to
make for his course in compelling
state officers to report moneys in
their hands to the public. He re-
membered that he sat in the seat of
Oliver P. Morton and Thomas A
Hendricks, and he resolved that the
laws of the state should be observed
He said that Daniel Storms and Oav-
id E. Sherrick were his personal
friends, and his course was Tot that
of Hanly against Sherrick and
Storms, but as the governor of In
diana against state officials to give an
accounting of their funds.
Plates for the banquet were laid
for forty and after the banquet the
doors were thrown open and the gov
ernor held a reception
The party left this forenoon for
indianapolis after trip over our site
for hospital just south of this city.
They seemed we'll pleased with the
land and the city, and while the cold
weather and the snow placed us at
somewhat of disadvantage, the
members of the hospital commission
saw the land at a previous visit and
we feel that our chances are good
for securing the hospital.
Governor Hanly said in his speech
that no favoritism would be show'1
in locating the hospital, that the site
WHlIH OPiiiOh va ehN
tee was best suited for such an insti-
tuition, would be chosen.
He said that for several year.
we had seemingly been living in ar
era of graft and greed which had per
meated not only states, cities anc
counties, but business and almost al
classes of society, but the public con
science is now aroused and chang,
for the better is here. He said tina
if he believed personal friendship
money or anything else but the bes
interests of the state would inf1uenc
any member of the commission tha
member would be removed in tel
minutes.
Everybody present was impresse'
with the honesty and sincerity o
Governor Hanly and are glad that h
visited Plymouth whether we get tn
hospital or not.
