City Officials Were Invited
To the Feast.
QUITE A NUMBER ACCEPTED
Feast of Oratory Followed
The Banquet.
Men of Epworth Church Spread
Feast In Basement of the EdiRcc
And Spend the Evening Getting
Better Acquainted.

The men of Epworth NJ. r.. church
gave a dinner last night. to the of
licials and fremen of the city 1t has
been the opinion of thoughtful men
that much Of the MISUNDERSTANDING
and attrition in human society re-
suits from the failure Of folk to be-
come acquainted and to understand
one another. Consequently. with the
desire to become better acquainted
with the city fathers, the nremen and
others, and To show an appreciation
of their efforts to serve the public a
banquet was given them. II was not
scvcn-storicd AFFAIR but there was
plenty and everything was well pre-
pared and well served. All highly en-
ioyed the feast. MIR. George Won
stein presided at the oratOrical pyro-
technics which followed the dinner
and after a few predatory and con-
gratulatory remarks introduced Mr.
E. &. Smith who gave the address of
welcome. Mr.. Smith broadened out
his address of welcome touching the
work Of the mon who are engaged in
public service corporations and as
watchers and protectors of the people
those employees who cannot attend
church because of the nature Of their
services in helping others to go there
and TO protect them at home.
Mayor Setter, as the guest Of honor
followed and manifested his appre~
citation Of the thoughtfulness of those
who had planned the banquet He
said that it would be well for our peo-
pie to meet together, to fraternize, to
consider public matters and stand
hard for what Is the best Interests Of
the city. AS for himself he did the
best he know and was striving to build
up the fortunes of Marion-to work
for greater Marion In every way pos
sible. The speaker especially urged
the importance of a city building.
Superintendent Hartman, as the
head of the public schools, spoke on
education and delivered a very schol-
arly and philosophic address. He laid
as postulate for his discourse that
the three great corner-stones of civil
lzation are religion, society and cdu-
cation and from this proposition he
| showed the importance of each as a
factor in social progress. 1t was a
| discourse worthy Of any audience, elo-
quent, scholarly. philosophic, and was
/ highly appreciated.
Fire Chief Mcfarland was pounced
on for speech and he gave one of
those inimitable and unreportable
talks for which he Is famous. 1t was
rare compound of fact, sound
thought, suggestion and wit and hu-
NOR As the mayor pushed the need
| of city building the chief demon
strated the supreme importance OF
maintaining the efficiency OF the fire
department especially good tools and
power. The chief is up in his busi-
ness and can give the best of them
pointers. His suggestions are worthy
of careful consideration by both citi-
zens and officials. He kept his hear
ers in a roar by the flashing of his
wit and brought down the house by

his story of the fire horse who
and died.
Mr.. N. Il. Arnold spoke on the NOR
al uplift which permeates modern So
ciety and was the Cicero of the oc-
casion, making strong and brilliant
address which highly pleased the as
sembly. 1t was thoughtful, philo-
sophie, rhetorical and to the point He
was introduced to speak on Service,
CIVIL" but after telling a humorous
story he sailed out into an optimistic
view of life and showed how humanity
is gaining ground in all domains of
human society and working for the
uplifting of men and women-attend-
ing strictly to the Kings business.
II. II. snyder, editor of the Mirror,
spoke for the press. Assuming to
analyze the elements of newspaper
he discussed the department OF news
getting, the importance of advertising
(to the publisher) and the value Of
the editorial, preferring that school Of
Journalism which believes in making
a paper that stands for something. In
connection herewith he paid brief
reference to insurgent thought its
of parties and its lead to
destiny, holding that this is an i'm
portant epoch in American history and
out of the discussions and dissolutlons
of today the parties of the future will
come.
James NJ. Knapp, director of the
board of public safety, was called up
on and he responded, thanking the
for their enjoyable en-
tertainment and assured them that
he would do all in his power for the
of the city.
Rev. Bailey closed the talkfest with
some supplementary remarks finish
ing up other orators stories, putting
on few finishing touches here and
there and mentioning Miss Matte
Meredith, Mrs. ReXroth and Mrs. b.
l.. Wallace for special consideration
the recipients of flowers.
Mrs Wallace favored the audience
with several very fine solos. Her rem
dition was simply splendid and show
ed that perfection which only genius
and art can give. Her effort was
highly appreciated.

GET A NUMBER OR LEAVE
YOUR AUTO IN THE GARAGE
Today is the Last For the
Maroon Colored Plates.
Already Number of Automobile
Owners Have Gotten the New Tags
Attached TO Their Machines.

If you own an automobile and have
not gotten your 1911 number from the
secretary of state you had best leave
the machine in the garage for few
days, or until you have complied with
the law.
This is just quiet tip given by
Mayor Setter for the benefit of the au-
tomobile owners of the city. The may
or holds that when he took the oath
of office, he assumed an obligation to
enforce all of the laws and ordinances,
particularly the Rose law and the au-
tomobile tax law, and from now on
the minions of the law will have their
eagle eye trained on the tags of all
automobiles and If one machine Is
found without the new tag, the own
er will be promptly arrested and yank-
ed up before hiz conner. There can
be no mistaking the old tags for the
new. The old ones were maroon back
ground with white letterings and the
new ones are white background with
black lettering.
Quite a number OF the automobile
owners of the city have complied with
the law by forking over a five dollar
bill and securing their tags. DR.. James
A. McMurray was probably the most
lucky man i'm Marion in securing the
number "1492." For the next few
weeks It will be a favorite pastime
with many learning the new numbers
of their friends automobiles.

Third Party :
In IN. Y. State.
Socialists Claim Between $4,000 and
$4,000 Votes For
Ticket. "A

New York, Nov. 9.-The Socialists
are today claiming to be the third
party in point of numerical strength
in New York state, having supplanted,
as they allege, the Independence Lea
que for this honor.
May Reach $4,000.
At the Socialist headquarters at
noon it was stated that the. Socialist
vote in the state would reach $4,000
and possibly $4,000.
The vote in greater New York, 40
cording to the Socialist estimates, viii
be approximately 10000.
Hopper, tie gubernatorial candidate
of the Independence League, polled
$4,000 votes in New York City, but as
it is conceded that eighty per cent of
the strength of the independence Lea
que is in this city, it is not believed
the total independence League vote
will run much more than $4,000.
While the Independence League
shows a falling of, the Socialists
claim that their vote in the state has
doubled and that the increase in Con-
necticut will amount to $50 per cent.

Of the meeting that organization
known as the "B o. b." decided to
go out of business, and agreed thai
its members should reaffiliate in

cordingly circular letters are being

ing for 10 o'clock Sunday morning,
November 18th, where reinstatements
can be made.
Officially and theoretically, therefore
the. trouble is all over and oil has
been poured upon the troubled waters.
The only trouble: that could possibly
come now would be from misguided
individuals, and whether there are
enough of them to make trouble, re-
mains to be seen. 1t is not believed,
however, that there are enough trou-
BILE makers in the craft in Wheeling
to hold back the march of unionism
any longer.

Wonderful Growth
Of Socialist Vote

The Socialists of Wheeling, of the
Ohio Vally and of West Virginia have
Joined the rest of the country in max
ing an excellent showing in the cleo
tons just over. The vote in Ohio
county showed over 1900 straight
Socialist votes, with some of the can
didates running ahead of that figure.
The great number of straight votes,
however, is the most pleasing thing
to the Socialist, however, for they
argue that it shows a genuine convert
to the cause, where a record run of
an individual would indicate only a
personal popularity which. has no
place in the Socialist philosophy.
In some of the precincts of Ohio
county the Socialist candidate had a
vote exceeding that of the Republican
candidates, and this was true also of
many precincts and wards in the
surrounding towns, In Boggs Run
precinct, Marshall county. the Social
list vote was greater than the COM
bined vote Of all the other parties.
and in Pultney township No. 3, of Bel
laire, the Socialist vote for Governor
was ahead of the Republican guherna-.
torial candidate. The vote in Bellaire
was 400, and in Martins Ferry 500.
There is much difficulty in getting
the figures on the Socialist vote, as
the daily papers have persistently re-
fused to give any information from
outside, and in Marshall and Relment
counties the officials say that the

Berger Goes

By Ben DIN.


Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 9-Electing
the entire county ticket, one congress
man, twelve assemblymen and one
state senator, Socialism again swept
Milwaukee county Tuesday.
Broader and Cleaner
This time it was a broader and a
cleaner sweep than the one made at
the election last spring.
Senator w. R. Gaylord, candidate
for Congress from the Fourth district,
was defeated by small plurality.
Jacobs Carries County.
William E. Jacobs, the Socialist
gubernatorial candidate, carried the
county by plurality of 1882 votes over
the Republicans. *:tr.
1t was not until three o'clock in the
morning that the election of Victor
L, Berger to Congress was conceded
as practically certain.
There being no voting machines in
the country districts surrounding
Milwaukee the vote from the outlying
districts was slow in coming in.
Withheld for Purpoes.
The non-reporting of the results
from several rural precincts at one
time presented an appearance that
the vote was being withheld with a
purpose. Later, however, it was
shown that the big vote cast in the
city of Milwaukee was sufficient to
counterfeit any tampering that may
have occurred in the country pre-
cincts.
Early this morning, when the final
returns were being tabulated, Berger
wa found closely studying the re-
suits, accompanied by his wife, Sena-
tor. Gaylord, W. A. Jacobs and Miss
E. L. Thomas ~

on the gains made. by the Socialists

All over the country it was a

of the vote will show that it was not

and the stay-at-home voters turning
the trick from the Republicans.

In Columbus the Socialists had to
stay out Of bed until one o'clock be-
