REPUBLICAN RALLY
A GOOD One
Large Turnout at Opera House
Last Thursday Night.
Spirited Addresses by j. Clyde Watt
and Congressman Il. Ii. Hamil-
ton-Prosperity the Slogan.

There was good sized crowd at the
Opera house last Thursday evening who
came out to hear the campaign issues dis
cussed by Representative J. Clyde. Watt
and Hon. E. L. Hamilton.
Messrs. Watt and Hamilton were here
with the Governor Warner special train at
noon and remained over to fill the date
assigned them by the County Committee.
The city cornet band entertained the
audience with some fine music and a spec.
ial feature of the meeting was the sand
wichng in between speeches of some ex-
cellent songs by the Saranac male quar-
tette, an organization composed Of four
young men who are certainly very fine in
that particular line and they received a
big round Of applause at the close of each
number.
Hon. H. E. Powell, Chairman OF the
County Committee, called the meeting to
order and introduced Dwight c. Sheldon
as chairman. who made a good one and
worked in fine speech in his introduc-
tory remarks.
Hon j. Clyde Watt was the first speak
er and in introducing him the chairman
paid him high compliment for his record
in the last legislature, and said he was
sure the people would make no mistake
in re-electing him. Mr.. Watt made good
speech in which he took occasion to refute
the charges made against him by his op-
ponent, Judge Morse, in most effctual
manner. Mr.. Watt is good speaker,
sound reasoner and is made up of the
right kind of material for a reprepenta-
tive in legislative halls.
Congressman Hamilton spoke for an
hour and a quarter touching upon both
state and national issues in an effective
speech embellshed with many sallies Of
wit, keeping the audience in good .humcr
throughout his address. He proved con-
clusvely that it was the part of wisdom
to re-elect the republican ticket
Beth speakers paid high compliment
to VIM. Alden Smith, and Mr. Watt If
elected, will cast vote for him for United
States senator,
The large audience manifested their ap-
proval of the points made by frequent
rounds of hearty and continued applause.
On the platform with the speakers and
chairman were Hon H. E. Powell, Elmer
F. Cilley candidate for sheriff, VIM. A.
Wilder candidate for register of deeds
Thos Sparks, candidate for treasurer; w.
L. Cusser, member of the county commit
tee; Harry Holhrook, candidate for county
clerk, George W Moultor, Henry Voelker

proved too Much for the Visitors at
Every Turn-Score , 3 TO q In
Favor of Belding.

The Belding high school foot ball team
added another feather to their caps on
Saturday last when they defeated the
Ionia high school team by score OF 25
TO on the grounds at Ellis Park in this
city. The game was called promptly at
2:5o, Beldng kicking to lonia and down
ing the ball on Ionia's so yard line. 10
10 minutes Of fast play the home team
had safety, scoring 8.
Jim Wagner of the home team picked
up Robinson of the home team and car
red him across the line for touch down
thus scoring but the locals failed to kick
goal in the first half. Iona showed good
form in this half but failed to get score
although they were busy along the line Of
resistance from start to finish.
In the second half lonia went to pieces
in their line up and team work and Beld-
ing took advantage Of their weakness and
soon scored three more touch downs to
their credit. Robinson, Stanton, Drum
mond and Pncknsy secured the touch
downs for Belding goal was kicked by
Drummond twice and Gleason once.
Our star players were Wagner and
Drummond but the visitors failed TO show

An important Consideration.

When the people of Ionia County vote
on Nov 6 the result will be fraught with
a significance that is not apparent on the
official ballot. There is man on the
republican ticket for whom the vote OF the
county has been cast again and again.
The voters of Ionia take delight in having
the opportunity to cast their votes for the
present representative from the fifth dis
trict, VIM. Alden Smith, whose career in
the lower house at Washington has re-
fected vast credit upon the district that
sent him there. VIM. Alden Smith is
again nominee of his party and once more
Ionia republicans can present him with a
handsome majority.
But there is another and far more sub
stantial manner in which lonia republi-
cans can express their admiration for the
man who has so we'll guided their affairs
during twelve years as representative.
Mr.. Smith is candidate for senatorship
and he has fight on his hards and the
people Of Western Michigan, lonia county
included, are most hearty in their indorse-
ment of his candidacy. His strength lies
in his own country and his own people are
ready to stand behind him.
j. Clyde Watt is Smith man and when
the legislature meets his vote will be found
in the list of those who vote for the fifth
district representative. Voters, remem-
Der that when you vote for J. Clyde Watt
at the coming election you are casting
vote for Vim. Alden Smith for United
States Senator vote for Judge A. B.
Morse is vote against Mr.. Smith and
Iona county. Mr. Smiths own district
does not want to deprive him of any Of
his strength lonia Sentinel.
ut should also be remembered that the
senatorship will be decided in caucus of
the republican members of the Legisla-
ture, the condidate receiving the highest
number Of votes there receiving the en-
tire vote of the republican members Of the
Legislature on election. The friends OF
VIM Alden Smith can compliment him
for his efficient services in the past by
voting for Clyde Watt for represen-
tative.

records of the circuit court in its several
branches as well as those of the super
yisors. All tax proceedings, the mar
rage. birth and death records and many
others Of great importance to the public
are kept by the clerk. This, with the
necessary bookkeeping to show the re-
ceipts and expenditures in the several
funds OF the county, are the principal du-
ties of that office.
It's therefore necessary that man. to
do justice to the taxpayers Of the county,
should give to this position his undivided
attention. Harry j. Holbrook has not
only done this but has studied the methods
of other counties and been continually
making improvements in the systems and
methods Of the office until every resident
of the county has reason to be proud Of
the condition OF its county records and for
all this extra work improving the old re-
cords he has not received one cent.
No person has ever applied at the
clerks office FOR Information during Mr..
Holbrook's administration, who has not
received prompt and courteous attention
and those who have the most business
with the office and are in a position to
know the condition of its affairs, are his
strongest supporters.
We ask the voters Of the comfy to in
vestigate the records Of the clerks office
and know that il they do, and are inter-
ested in the welfare of the county, they
will vote for Harry j. Holbrook for re-
election.

In choosing men to serve the public in
official capacity, the individual interests Of
office seekers ought not to be taken into
consideration, the man who can best
serve the people is the man to hold the
position, regardless Of individual claims,
past customs, or party affiliations. The
office is for the benefit Of the public and
not the Individual who seeks the office.
The office of county clerk is one of the
most important in the county and has the
greatest diversity Of duties, embracing all

DOINGS OF THE
COMON COUNCIL
Funds Voted to Build q Settling
Basin for Water Works.
Special Meeting was Hell q on Tuesla y
Night to Discuss Water Prob
lem-Other Business.

The members Of the council met at the
coucil chamber in regular session on Fri
day evening and transacted what little
business there was before them. The
meeting was called to order by President
Connell and the roll call showed only four
members of the council present.
The first business to be considered was
the matter of insurance on the city tool
house and contents and also the contents
OF the city barn, and after some discuss
ion motion was carried to place 5000
insurance on the tool house, $1,000 on the
city tools and $loo on the contents Of the
city barn.
A number Of bills were allowed for the
work now in progress on the Center
street sewer, and among the lst Of nance
OF those who drew pay for services rem
dered was that Of Jesse James. Not the
original Jesse Of Wild West fame but his
name recalls wildly the once bowling ter
ror of the wild and woody west.
Bills for holding the registration were
also allowed and footed up to S6l.0o.
Cement walk rebates and water board
bills were also allowed at this session.
After the transaction of the above
mentioned business the council adjourned
until Tuesday evening.
On Tuesday evening there were only
four members ST the council present. AID
ermen Connell. Hudson. Lloyd and Put
nam. After transferring some Of the CITY
money from one fund to another they took
up the consideration of the water works
problem. 1t was shown that all Of the
water now being furnished to water tax
ers was being pumped from the river and
could not be used for cooking or drinking
purposes. The recent collapse of the tank
in the rear of the box factory which furn-
ished water for all Of the business blocks
west Of Pleasant street as well as some of
them on the east side. figured in the dis
cussion, and It was thought that in case
the city failed to furnish them good water
in the near futnre, the tank would be re-
built and the city would lose the revenue
for years to come that might otherwise
come to them from that source to help
pay the running expenses OF the plant.
Other important features that would
add to the success or failure of the sys-
tenn we're considered and after a careful
and thoughtful consideration OF the mat
er it was decided that the only true So
luton to the water problem lay IN the con
struction Of receiving or settling basin
with capacity Of 100000 gallons, which
according to Riggs & Sherman's estimats
could be built for a little less than $4,000.
After looking at all sides of the matter q
motion was made and carried that the
city negotiate loan of $4,000 for the
early construction Of basin OF the cost
and dimensions above mentioned The
vote on the proposition was as follows:
Ayes, Aid. Connell, Hudson and Lloyd
Nays, Aid. Putnam.

Capitol CITY Wants the Ballou Mfg.
Company's Plant.


E. V. Chilson, secretary of the Lansing
Business mems association, was in the
city Monday night looking after the Ballou
Mfg. company's plant and the chances for
securing the same to add to the ever in
creaslng list of factories in the capitol city.
Mr.. Chilson is an old time newspaper
man and knows the value of factories in a
community, ard as secretary Of the asso-
citation loses no chance to secure all he
can for the city of his choice.
Belding people do not want to sit down
and remain inactive and allow outside in
fluence to lure this big manufacturing
concern from our borders. Our Business
mems association should take this matter
up at the earliest possible moment and see
what can be done along the way of hold
ing the factory in our city.

THE SOWING AND THE ReApINa

Sow as you will there's time to reap,
For the good and bad as well.
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep,
Is either heaven or hell.
And every wrong will find It's place,
And every passion loosed
Drifts back and meets you face to face
When the chickens come home to roost."
