Congressman Martin
Visits Lennon.

Congressman Eben w. Martin, ac
companied by one of his sons, arrived
Wednesday morning from the south,
having spent the previous evening at
Bison, where he gave an address.
This is Congressman Martins second
visit to Lennon, his first visit having
been made early in 1908, when on a
rainy, slushy evening he met with the
towns people at the old location Cf
Smiths hall. In commenting upon
that first visit, Mr.. Martin could not
refrain from comparing the city of
today with the choas which then pre-
vailed.
Accompanying Mr.. Martin on his
trip was Senator Perkins, of Sturgis,
republican candidate for the state
senate from the district comprising
the counties of Meade, Perkins, Hard
ing and Butte.
In the evening a large gathering
greeted these two gentlemen at the
Lennon opera house A short ad-
dress was made by Sen. Perkins. in
which he voiced the hope that the next
legislature would provide for a more
nearly adequate number of Legislative
districts than at present. He pointed
out how this immense territory, row
granite but one senator, deserves to
be divided into three districts, and
expressed his determination to use
every endeavor that the laws may be
shaped to that end.
Then Congressman Martin was in
t 'oduced, and held the closest atten-
tion of his hearers for nearly an hour.
His remarks were in a happy neighbor.

lines that interest this community most
the building up of this part of the
state, the development of its resources,
the problems of success sfui farming,
and kindred other themes, and closing
with an expression of his faith in the
republican party as the party of pro-
gress and achievement. His talk left
a good impression upon his hearers
andithe people of Lennon are pleased
that Mr.. Martin finds it worth his
while to keep in close touch with The
Lennon country.
