Of the Club and WIN sweat for the Pee
pull No MOre-HaS no Use for Odell.
Marcus Braun, who won't deny that
President Roosevelt owes a lot to him,
and who came pretty nearly being an inter-
national complication some months ago,
exploded a Crouch at the Hungarian Repub-
lican Clubs jubilee dinner last night at the
Cafe Boulevard. Marcus organized the
club ten years ago, has lahored untiringly
for the peepul since that time and got up
the big dinner TO the President at Little
Hungary. Now, in blue n brass, he
keeps watch for the Government at st.
John. New Brunswick, as an immigration
inspector.
He announced before the dinner that
he had resigned from the presidency OF
the club and wasn't going to sweat any
more in the cause Of the people.
For ten years | have labored and planned
and thought, " said Marcus, trying to get
the right sort of Hungarians to come to
this country and to make good Americans
out of them after they get here. What
nave l got for it2 The Hungarians cuss
Inc. The Americans bedamn me as u Hun
garian. The district leaders turn me
down. Knockers lay for Marcus and try
to down him. It's positively sickening.'
Gen. Francis Vinton Greene came here
from Buffalo to attend the dinner and was
the guest of honor. Herbert Parsons,
president of the Republican county COM
mittee, was there and so we're Attorney
General Julius Mayer and a number OF
district leaders and Federal officeholders.
Marcus's picture, representing him in
his most statesmanlike pose, hung right
beside President Roosevelt's portrait above
the speakers table. Marcus regarded the
paintings complacently and appeared to
water his fevered soul by the contempla-
ton. His chance came after Toastmaster
William Blau had said a few things.
Mr.. Blau declared that the Hungarian
Republican Club had we'll fulfilled its
primary mission OF taking hold of immi-
grants, explaining to them the meaning of
American institutions and making good
Americans out of them. Then he intro
duced Marcus to great applause.
was a natural born Republican, and that
Louis Kossuth was the best example of all.
Then he cut loose.
This club" said he. "has received no
encoura cement from the Republican or
ganization or from Republicans in general,
with the exception of the President loud
cheersl Gen. Francis V. Greene, Attorney
General Mayer n a few more. We were
the first organization to come out against
the Did regime in this county. Lots of the
publican candidates at the last election be-
cause they couldn't stand for Ben Odell
and Billy Halpin. lWhoops of applausel.
Oh, Odell is astute enough. | give him
full credit for that, but he is blamed I'M
popular. and say that no unpopular man
has a right to be a leader. lCheers and
applause,l Under him the district leaders
haven't got what was coming to them.
Neither have we. Renewed cheering.l
Maybe things will be better under Mr..
Parsons"
Marcus stopped and shook a finger at
Mr.. Parsons, who smiled amiably,
The county organization has thrown rs
down. he went on. You, Parsons, have
sweeping over this country and
this city and it will take hard work to stop
It. Now, gentlemen, mark me, unless
President Roosevelt consents to run again
we will have a hard time winning the next
Marcus got the cheering going good for
The President and sat down..
Gen. Greene said he was glad to meet
mis- Hungarian friends again. Il am 80
out of public life" he said, shat / can

md That you are now just plain Americans.

POSTMASTER Blau said that lots Of people
believe that Gen. Greene was the best Police
commissioner the tow ever had, which

~orney-General Mayer, who had come in
ate to mild applause, took a fall out of
immigration Inspector Braun.
The introduced Mr.. Mayer
- a man without an enemy. Braun is
ways sore on somebody, said Mr.; Mayer.
But he's never sore on the man he happens

o you and say / am done with A. or B or c
as the case may bel, but I'M strong for you.
