The entertainment given by the Broth
erhood to the ladies' Of the p. M. Church
last Friday evening was a grand sue.
cess, and the men proved themselves
equal to the occasion
After the ladies were received in the
chapel room by the reception commit
mittee, composed of officers Of the
Brotherhood, they were escorted to the
lecture room, which was converted into
banquet room, by the squad of walters
under the leadership Of Mr.. Henry Bray
and all dressed in regulation uniform.
Here they were received, with pleas
unit surprise. Innumerable tables, pro
fusely decorated with fresh cut flowers,
artstically arranged by Messrs Steph

After they were bountfully served with

A quartet composed Of Messrs. Geo.

tons.
A reporter for The Democrat having
secured copy Of Mr. Pagel's response
to the toast "Our Next National Pres
ident," and the response being regard
ed hit of the evening, it is given
below:
Mr.. Toustmaster In asking me to re-
spond to the sentiment "Our next Ma
tional President" | would like to ask,
who IL to be our next PRESIDENT" If
you had asked me to respond to our
President and left out the word next"
should not have detained you very long.
| could have gotten up here tonight and
said. What is the matter with Taft2
He has certainly filed the presidential
chair
Mr.. Toastmaster, with the Amer
lean dog fight rs the London papers
express 1t going on In the Republican
ranks. what chance have we there for
our next president. Roosevelt and Taft
both are so anxious to protect and serve
the dear people" Why Teddy came
all the way from New York too look
after the interests of the dear people.
Will he win out. The fight is still ON.
Why do they not nominate our dear
little Bobby, who is not afraid to tell
the TRUTH But truth and politics do
not mix.
Mr.. Toastinaster, let rs go over on
the other side of the fence and see if
there is any hope there The trouble
with a majority of the people in this
campaign is, they are sitting on the
fence. Here we find Clark and Wilson.
Clark with his II long years of public
service, and never did thing but in
spired the "Houn' Dawg Song, which
you hear in beer gardens and cafes in
the cities, and at the moving picture
show in Mineral Point. No matter if
he is houn' You gotta quit kickin my
dawg aroun'." Do we want him, Mr..
Toastmaster, for our next presidents
Then there's Wilson. The only good
looking picture have seen of him is
in the Iowa County Democrat; but
there are grave doubts about him, as
all depends on Ernest Fielder. II
Fielder had taken the G., NJ Il St
p. R'y, instead of his automobile to go
to Baltimore, he would he sure to arrive
in time If William jennings Bryan
gets there ahead of him its all Oft. We
also have the Prohibition party and the
Socialist party, and perhaps the Wo
mans Sulfragette will put up n candi
date; but these parties are good deal
like the city of Mineral Point, They
need steam roller.
Now, Mr. Toashnaster, let ms hope
that our next President, whether he be
Republican, Democrat or Socialist will
represent the highest type of American
manhood and personal qualities, clean
living and sober thinking, who will be
able to successfully represent and bring
harmony out of chaos in the labor
world and all the vital questions un-
solved before the public today.
To the man who will represent the
people is the man to whom we will re
spond with our toast,
