Senator M. j. SWeeley OF Twin Alb
gave the address Of the day, says the

serving the day from origin, and in
the course of his address expressed
the belief that, while the country
would do all in its power to keep away
from hostilities with any country, 1t
would always be willing to take
stand for what was just and good
and should war come, hosts of young
men would answer the call as they did
in those trying days of the civil war.
