Fine Speeches Were Made by Con
gres man Diekema, Judge Web ter
and w. l.. Resves-Other Doings

The big picnic held at Orleans last Fri
day was an event long to be remembered
and the large crowd present was evidence
that Orleans and the surrounding country
are very much alive. 1t is estimated that
from six to seven hundred people were
present and all enjoyed the event.
Congressman G. j. Dlekema was the
speaker of the day. He was at his best
and made an excellent address which was
loudly applauded. Judge of Probate
Montgomery Webster was also present
and made good speech.
Walter L. Reeves of Otsco, candidate
for representative on the republican ticket
was called on for remarks and he made
remarkably fine talk. His presence gave
the people an opportunity of sizing up the
man who would make first class legs-
lator if he should be nominated and elect
ed to the place. Mr.. Reeves made
favorable impression by his visit and
speech there,
A sumptuous picnic dinner was served.
The tug of war offered much amusement.
The north side captain was Ed Ostrum
and Hlley Warner was captain Of the
south side team. which won out in the
pull
The pacing race was exciting, Alfred
Palmer's driving horse winning the best
two in three heats against Ben Halls
colt.
In the running race Smith Rowleys
black took first, Clyde Beach's bay mare
second and Homer Kennedy's sorrel mare
third. Hancock from Palo, who was in
terested in promoting the race, expecting
his horse to win out hands down, was
dstanced in the dust which was 80 thick
that he could not be seen half the time.
There were two sharp ball games also.
1t was one of the pleasantest events Or
leans has seen for many day.

period Of time. In fact, most men at the
end Of two terms in the office have only
become reasonably proficient in the per-
formance of its duties.
"ln the past, until recently. the policy
of political parties IN this county has
seemed TO have been to remove this Off
cial just as he began to be reasonably
serviceable, and to provide the public with
a raw successor absolutely untaught and
inexperienced. Party exigencies may re-
qure that this office be made sort Of
political kindergarten, but the best inter-
ests Of the public require otherwise. The
people pay for good service and they are
entitled to delivery Of the goods.
"Mr. Holbrook has the requisite natural
ability and aptitude to fill this position,
and he has had the experience which
makes him a valuable and valued public
servant in this capacity To change him
for another at this juncture would be a
mistake and blunder.

An Open Letter From II. A. HawIey


at is generally understood that Harry J.
Holbrook is a candidate for denomination
for the office Of county clerk. The only
objection that have heard to his candi-
dacy is that he has already held the office
for some time past; in other words, his
experience is made to weigh against him.
Permit me to say that have no inter-
est in the personnel of this official, but
do have considerable interest in his quail
fications for the office. The attorneys OF
the county come into close touch with II
office, and they are interested in having
the work of the office, particularly Il at
part of it that pertains to the records of
the courts. promptly, accurately and COR
rectly done. and to be done without either
having to do it themselves or to contnu-
ally supervise it. What is true OF the at
torneys is also true of the several super
visors and township clerks of the county,
and Of the board of supervisors and other
county officials whose duties bring them
into contact with the county clerk
The duties Of this office are more nu
merous and varied than those Of any other
county office; to successfully and salts
factorily perform them requires not only a
high degree Of intelligence and natural
aptitude for the task but also continued
actual experience. No man. however in
telligent, can acquire REQUESTS. Jsxperience
in three months, nor in much longer
