STUBS AT STAHL'S
He Is Principal Orator at the Big
Picnic.

The twenty-ninth annual meeting
Of the Shawnee and Usage county
temperance and Sunday school union
was held Thursday 81 miles south
west OF Topeka. This is "Stahrs pic
mic" as 1t is better known in this
part of the state and was, as all 9TH
ers have been an unqualified success;
with an attendance OF 1000. The as
ISOLATION which is responsible fer this
annual affair was formed in 1880 to
aid in the cause of prohibition and
had much to do with the adoption of
the prohibitory law which is now on
the statute books of the state.
Each year this meeting, which is
one of the largest held in the county
is visited by the state and county
politicians who find in it a means of
reaching hundreds of the country vo-
ters Yesterday was not an exception
to the rule and dozens of candidates
visited the grove during the after
noon and w. r. Stubs was the
speaker Of the day.
The day of the picnic is the banner
day of the year for F. M: Stah1. the
originator of the event and the prime
mover of the affair since it's organi-
cation. He is always master of GER
emonies, friend of the strangers who
have never attend the affair before,
councillor for the young and head
strong, and last, but not least, he in
ITOQuC6S the Sp6dhcTS Oh TIC Jay ana
handles the program with a master
hand
Each year the affair grows in popu-
larity and while a few of the older
members have dropped out to ans
wer the last call the vacancies are
more than filled by their children and
children's children who have grown UP
since the picnic became an annual
affair.
The wants Of the younger genera
ton are not overlooked in planning
the affair for there are merry-go-
rounds, fortune telling tents pitched
in the big woods, red lemonade by
the barrel, soda pop, Ice cream. pea
nuts and candy of all descriptions.
Choruses and orchestras fill the woods
with the songs of the members and a
band adds to the music of the occa-
sion.
Robert Stone, who Is candidate
for seat in the lower house of the
state legislature opened the speaking
program yesterday by an address on
the Success of Motive" and was
followed by w. r. Stubs, who would
be governor of the state.
During his talk Mr.. Stubs told a
number of anecdotes and gave brief
sketch of his own life and then
launched into the issues of the cam
paign which have been his texts for
q month or more.
