walls. The menu was elaborate and was
served in highly satisfactory manner.
The excellent arrangements were carried
out without hitch, which speaks we'll
for the officers who had the event in
charge.
Hon. Joseph Cannon, speaker of the
national house of representatives, was
the honored guest of the evening. In
his characteristic style he gave a rous-
ing speech on The Issues of 1906"
Congressman Hamilton acted as toast
master, and presided in his usual bril-
liant manner. He was accorded re-
sounding welcome, and took pains to
credit Cannon with much of the good
work of the last congress, ridiculing
Organism in general and the govern
ment ownership of railroads in particu-
lar. He said:
"It has been said that whoever con-
trolls the railroads of country controls
the government. If we have ever lost
the control of the government, we have
regained that control by railroad regu-
lation law under the guidance of our
honored guest"
Hamilton made Roosevelt the key
note of campaign speech and referred
to the Roosevelt renaissance in civic
honesty"
Diekemas eulogy of party loyalty was
prefaced by the remark that he had
never attended the launching of two
great political booms before-Cannon

No Enthusiasm Over Home Coming

continue the home comings or drop
them. 1t seems as though some inter
est should be shown in this matter.
