The Big Reunion.
All ARRANGEMENTS About All Made
for the Biggest Of All.

Arrangements are about all
made for the holding Of the big
gest reunion held in the history
of the Interstate Reunion Asso-
citation. Applications for accom-
modations were never so heavy as
they are this year, and with big
crops of all kinds in this country,
and the country from which the
big reunion draws its crowds,
there is absolutely no doubt of a
big and successful meeting.
The Frisco is going to have ex-
ceptionally good train service
this year, and the trains will run
right into the grounds, as usual.
There will be a very high class
of oratory, and some of the
speakers are of national reputa-
ton. The amusements will be OF
a high order. There will be a
fine cattle and horse show, some
thing on the order of a wild west;
there will be a good wild west
show besides; there will be a
good dramatic company to put on
several shows every day and even
ing; there will be a musical COM
edy; there will be two or three
mighty fine picture shows; there
will be some shows that will
prove a mighty pleasant surprise
to the people 1--WE will not men,
ton them here); there will be a
high class minstel show; there
will be ali sorts of freaks and
midway eccentricitieS; in fact
their will be something to please
all classes.
The concessions will be of a
good order. In fact the license
department is refusing to take
all concessions that come along.
If they can NOT put up good places
and make their stands look nice
they are not wanted.
Make arrangements to camp on
the grounds. That is the way to
have a good time and avoid all
the heat, dust and discomfort of
going BACK and forth to the
grounds. A nap of the camp
ground IL In this Office. Come in
and pick out your location and
you will be sure Of getting the
spot you want to camp on.

vote was: Eugene N. Foss of Boston,

1t was the most overwhelming defeat
that the republicans have met in Massa-
chusetts since Governor Bates was over
thrown by William l.. Douglas six years
ago. The result is considered OF more
than statewide Importance, for Mr. Foss
stumped the Fourteenth district on ma
tional questions, and the people backed
him up with a, whoop. 1t was the fir'f
contest to be decided by the voters.
Congressman-elect Foss is a prominent
manufacturer, banker and capitalist of his
district. and since the passage Of the
Payne Aldrch tariff bill has held pc
culiar interest In the public eye on that
account. Mr.. Foss, who has appeared in
several campaigns, first as republican
and later as a democrat with moderate
protectionist leanings, left the republican
party last year on the issue of Canadian
reciprocity and became the democratic
candidate for lieutenant governor, He
failed only by 5000 votes TO carry the
state at that time.
Another subject which was discussed In
the campaign was the high cost of liv-
ing The democratic campaigners charged
tho Payne Aldrich tariff bill and the fail
ure of the republican party to properly
supervise the trusts with being mainly
responsible for the high cost of livinf

Private Luncheon
The luncheon at the Clews residence
was private and was attended by nearly
every prominent newspaper editor in New
York. An announcement on the invita-
tions and on the menu cards was that
the President would speak after being in
troduced by Mr., Clews, but that 'the
guests will kindly refrain from reply to
the Presidents remarks or questioning
him. as his time is exceedingly limited"
Among the editors were many who had
strongly opposed his election,
1t was said later at the Clews home
that the President had given a heart-to-
heart talk to the editors, that he had
mentioned the recent criticisms In the
public prints on the administration, and
had. endeavored to show where the news
papers could be of material assistance not
particularly to the administration but to
the government at large.
Earl Grey, governor general of Canada,
was one of the guests at the luncheon.
