REPUBLICAN RALLY
A FINE One
Opera House Was Filled to Over
flowing
Diekema, Russell and sheldon spoke
-Origit al Poem Read by f. A. Bush
on 'Battle of 1oOS'

There was tremendous crowd present
at the opera house Wednesday evening,
called out by the republican rally. The
seating capacity was taxed to the utter
most and standing room was at pre-
MUM. The interest and enthusiasm
manifested show that the people Of Beld-
ing and vicinity are alive to the needs of
the hour and that the voters in this part
of the county will be heard from next
Tuesday in the avalanche of republican
ballots which will be cast.
The Belding cornet band was out in
uniform and played fine music before the
meeting
Rev. N. j. Myers presided as chairman
and introduced the speakers in very
kwitty and happy manner, placing the
large audience in good humor at once.
The Grand Rapids male quartette was
present and sang number of campaign
songs, which caught the audience for
hearty applause. The quartette is COM
posed Of B. A. Beneker, John Henson,
Hazel Kelley and w. B Brown.
Frederick Andrews Bush was intro
duoed as the Belding poet and he read in
excellent form and verse a fine poem
written for the occasion, entitled, THE
Battle Of 9o8," and was loudly applauded
for his effort. The poem is published in
another column.
Hon. Huntley Russell, candidate for
state land commissioner, spoke in clear
and concise manner, confining himself to
state issues, giving a warm approval of
Governor Warmers administration and
reasons why he should be reelected. He
closed with song, assisted by the quar-
tette.
Prosecuting Attorney Dwight c. Shell
don gave an exceptionally fine address,
giving reasons why the republican county
ticket should be elected, and especially
Sheriff Elmer F. Cley, who has saved
the county several thousand dollars by
his effective work He closed with a
talk on national issues. His many Bed-
ing friends were pleased to see and hear
him.
Hon. g. j. Diekema was the last speak
er and his speech on state and nationa'
issues was splendid tribute to the party
that has always stood Loyalty for progress
in every line of work for the betterment
of the state and nation. He showed very
concusively why Taft should be elected
rather than Bryan and why Governor
Warner should again be at the head of
the state administration rather than He
mans. Mr.. Dlekema is witty and logi-

A Witch Party

The young ladies of Rev. NJ J. Myers
Sunday school class, "a of them, gave a
witch party last Friday night in the base
ment ol the Congregational church and
the affair proved to be a fine one, in keep
ing and in line with the Halloween sea-
son.
A witch's cave with seething caldron
in the foreground was weird feature,
with Miss Ethel Whitford as the witch
who gave out the fortunes to the timid
and frightened maidens Another feature
was a large pumpkin hand, carved by
Miss Iva Borner, with mystic symbols
suspended from the ceiling at which the
young ladies took a thrust with sharp
stick to determine their fate. Hobgoblins,
black cats and ghosts were in evidence
and on the bill of fare at the refreshment
table burnt cork and raw beans were a
couple of the dishes served up. The
young ladies had delightful -ine.

THE BATTLE OF 1908.
BY FREDERICK ANDREWS Bush.

Read by request at the Republican Rally
Wednesday night
We have gathered here together on this
fair October night.
To discuss the latest issues in fair
impartial light;
To talk about the merits of the great
parties Of today
Who are asking for our ballots on the
next election day.
Let US cast our eyes behind US in q
retrospective view
Fer we undertake to fathom any prob
lens that are new.
Let US simply ask the question in a
manner bold and free.
As TO which of the great parties has
been best for you and me.
From the hour when President Lincoln
broke the letters Of the slave,
To this moment when the whole world
praises Roosevelt the brave,
In the great and mighty conflicts which
have centered Ger our land
Which has been the powerful banner
that has won in the commando
Republican or Democrat, which record
stands out best?
In the trying hours of contest which
party stood the test2
Can't you see the happy toiler with his
big full dinner pail,
Instead Of Coxey's army which at one
time hit the trailp
One condition we discover meath the
banner G. 0 P.
While the other is memory Of triumh-
ant Grover G.
And tonight, while here assembled, let
US pause and contemplate,
Fer we GO and cast our ballots in Nov
ember, 1908.
Look at valiant President Roosevelt
with the rudder in his hand,
Guiding DER the troubled waters our
great ship OF State to land.
Note the nations without number every
where beneath the sun
Who have lauded him and praised him
for the good deeds he has done.
Would you turn him down for Bryan
with his visionary stare,
Or support the man he favors. who has
made good everywhere.
Will you stand for Taft and Sherman
and the gallant G. o P.
Or for William Jennings Bryan and his
vague philosophy.
T} sso er5 S-estions Of. EToa. rnome,t,
they are questions Of the hour.
Which party will you vote for, which
one should be in power2
Which is better, wheels of commerce
swiftly turning day by day
Or the broken wheels of commerce in
the scrap heap by the wayp
II republicans are better and their plans
more up-tc-date,
How about the present governor of our
fair peninsular state.
Can't you stand by Governor Warner
whose defiance, day by day,
Made the corporations tremble every
time he crossed their way.
Took fall from old Tip Atwood and
the others of his kind
Who have fought the peoples interests
with but selfish ends in mind.
Fought the railroads till they had to
give the people two cent fare;
Opened up the old state prison to make
binding twlne in there.

PROHIBITION
Rev. N r. jenkins spoke at the Nj. r..
Church Tuesday Evening


Church Tuesday Evening
Rev. N. F. Jenkins of Holland, the pro-
hibition candidate for Congress from I =
Fifth Congressional district, spoke at the
M. E church Tuesday evening on the
political issues Of the campaign from a
prohibition standpoint. He is a good
speaker and is forceful, logical and ear
nest in his remarks. being confident that
the principles of the party will eventually
win and the liquor traffic will be outlawed
in the nation. He sees no hope. however.
of relief from either Of the old parties.
The outlook is very favorable at the
present time for revolution along the
temperance line throughout the nation and
the old parties are already beginning to
sit up and take notice.
There is no doubt that If Mr. jenkins
was to occupy a seat in Congress there
would be something doing whenever he
had an opportunity to act The prohibi-
tionists are making an active canvass in
the state and nation and expect to show
an increased vote next week.

NEW CONSTITUTION
Every Citizen of Michigan should
Vote for that Document

Vote for that Document
On Tuesday next the voters of Michigan
will be asked to vote for the new oonsti-
tuition which was submitted to the people
last January, as the result of the deliber-
ations Of the Constitutional Convention.
A careful reading Of the document shows
but few weak spots in its anatomy and
while there are some features Of the docu-
ment which might perhaps better have
been eliminated, there are so many good
points in the same that the people cannot
well turn it down.
The present constitution. framed at a
time when Michigan was but an infant in
the galaxy of states, did we'll enough for
the days when it was formed but the
growth of the state since that time makes
the precious document little out Of date
and hardly in keeping with the great state
which we are today, Scarcely session
Of the legislature is held when there are
not some laws enacted which the supreme
court quickly pronounces~ unconstitutional,
and the new document, with the many
advantageous features incucated in 1t.
will do away with so many unconstitu-
tional laws. Our representatives in the
Constitutional Convention bulded as we'll
as they could for the needs Of the times
and we, the people, should ratify their
endeavors.

one Of the best records ever made by any
sheriff in any county in the state.
There has also been paid into the coun-
ty treasury during this time in round num-
bers l,5oo in fines and costs. In the
administration prior to this only $3.50
were paid in. The hard and thorough
work Of Mr.. Ciley has also saved the
county Of Ionia several thousand dollars
in court costs. Vote for Elmer Cilley for
sheriff.
