REPUBLICAN BANQUET
SPLENDID SUCCESS
FELLOWS, DIEKEMA AND KELLEY
GIVE INSTRUCTIVE ADDRESSES
Attendance Reached Two Hundred and
Interest was Unremitting from Start
to Finish Of Program

The Republicans Of northern Genesee
scored another success as an effectual
J working political unit, last Saturday
/ evening when the annual banquet of
the Vienna, Thetford and Mt Morris
Republican Club was held. The beauti-
! full Masonic Auditorium made an ideal
place for the holding of the banquet
and the tables spread with snowy linen
and handsomely prepared, lent an ap-
propriate air of festivity to the scene.
The members of the club and guests,
numbering about two hundred, were
called to order by the president, M. G..
Doyle, who very gracefully introduced
the POSTMASTER, E. e. Huyck. The
toastmaster fittingly acknowledged the
courtesy of the Club in inviting him to
preside and congratulated it upon the
splendid list of speakers which had
been secured.
c. H. Reed briefly spoke of the OBJ
jects of the Club and made reference to
the Importance of supporting the vari-
Gus township tickets.
Attorney General Grant Fellows
spoke on the subject Michigan, and
for more than an hour discussed with
rare lucidity and from personal knowl-
edge of the facts, topics of the deepest
concern to every citizen of the state.
He told of the litigation which had
been carried on by the railroads to es-
cape compliance with the tax laws and
which had been carried to conclusion
successful to the state in the Federal
courts. Following this Mr.. Fellows
told of the efforts of various railroads
to escape the provisions of the statutes
regulating freight and passenger tar
IFS, wishing to have the opportunity OF
charging more than two cents per mile
and more in other ways than the laws
permit; of how these cases, also, had
been taken through the courts and won
for the state. Then he told of how the
roads, failing. in their attempt to des-
troy the statutes, had instituted cam
paign for legislation to permit them to
raise their tariffs; how this had been
opposed until they should be able to
make showing justifying such laws
and how, when the showing was made,
it disclosed they were already earning
profits on their capital ranging from
5H to IL per cent in the different
departments. Mr.. Fellows deprecated

Guy Selby Sells Farm

Within the past week deal has been
consummated whereby Guy Selpy has
sold his fine farm of 160 acres, lying
just north of the city limits of Flint, to
parties who will plat the same and sell
it as city residence property. We are
not informed as to the exact figures of
the transaction but the report is cur
rent that Mr.. Selby cleared some hing
like $4,000. This is certainly splendid
and Guys many friends in this vicinity
will be glad to know of his good for
tune. Josh Hobson, who worked Mr..
Selby's farm the past season, will have
an auction sale of big bunch OF cows
and other farm stock and tools on
Tuesday, March %. at which time, also,
the barns and out buildings on the farm
will be sold A large ad, giving de-
tailed information as to this sale ap-

not member of congress of whatever
party would do ore thing to shorten the
arm of the head of the nation, but he
could not escape the conviction that our
relations with Mexico had been series
of blunders that now bid fair to involve
us in costly and sanguinary conflict.
Mr., Kelley began his address at late
hour, despite which fact he was given
the closest attention to the end and was
then rendered an informal reception
and greeted most warmly.
Rev. +. c. C Benson delivered the
invocation at the beginning of the ban
quet and during its progress the High
School Chorus, under direction of Miss
Leota Uptegraff, gave two selections
which were very greatly enjoyed.
fhe ladies of the M. P. Church pre-
pared and served the menu and were
wholly deserving of the many compli-
ments that were bestowed upon them
for the excellence of their service.
This banquet will go into history as
one of the most pleasant and successful
affairs of the kind ever held in the
county. We gain much from personal
contact with men of the calibre and
erudition of those who came to speak
to US on this occasion, and in view of
the general enthusiasm that prevails it
is safe to say that banquet will be
held next year on such date as shall be
most advantageous
Hon. j. W. Fordney, whose presence
gave so much pie asure year ago, and
who it was expected would be with us
again on this occasion, was unable to
do so because of illness. and the mem
bers of the Club by rising vote sent
him their greetings with sincerest wish
es for his speedy recovery.
