Special to Times Republican.
Tama, April 22.-More than 100
members of the Tama Commercial
+! Club and friends met at the I. O. o. f.
hall Thursday evening at smoker in
! honor of Hon. s. c. Huber on the eve
tof his departure to take up his new
tduties as district attorney for the
Hawaiian islands. Every one present
was imbued with the good fellowship
! OF the occasion and a jollier crowd
never enjoyed an evenings entertain
| ment. The .Tama band furnished the
music and the program as arranged by
the committee consisted Of short
speeches by some of Mr.. Hubers most
intimate associates.
0. H. Mills, the oldest member Of the
Tama bar. spoke In his happiest vein
and showed his old-time wit as he re-
yealed few things in Huber's past.
NJ. w. Hyland, who is now Mr.. HUBER
law partner. made a brilliant address
and proved to the satisfaction Of all
that he will come close to filling Mr..
Huber's shoes as well as his office
chair.
Perhaps the happiest hit of the eve
ming was when Pat McCarty responded
with his ready Irish wit. Everyone
knows that Albert Jackson is there
with that fiowery stuff and he used it
to the best advantage on this occasion
for no one has been more closely as
ISOLATED than these two old-time
democrats.
Several Gifts.
Mr.. Jackson closed his remarks by
presenting Mr.. Huber with beautiful
Knight Templar charm and fob. the
gift OF few Of his closest friends. On
the part of the club w. &. Cleworth
presented Mr.. Huber with a gold
handled umbrella with which to ward
off the Hawaiian rains Do which Mr..
Huber says are not even wet, but
Simply liquid sunshine" W. L. Cherry,
Of Cedar Rapids, and Postmaster A. G.
johnson, Of Marshalltown. were pres
ent and responded with a few remarks.
K. l.. Beard served as toastmaster.a a
cafeteria lunch was served. -
Mr.. Huber came to Tama twenty
four years ago to take the superin-
tendency of the public schools. After
several years in this capacity he en-
tered the law office Of Judge Willett
and besides the practice d his pro-
fession he has filled about every ,office
within the gift Of the city; county and
lodges always with credit sTsvo; terms
as mayor Of Tama. three esernas As
county attorney and Aof many terms
as city attorney and presidentsof the
Central Iowa Chautauqua that memory
fails to record the number In two
campaigns he was the democratic can
didate for congress against Mr.. Good
and once he came 80 near winning
that the morning papers conceded his
election but the later reports showed
that he had carried the outside coun-
ties but the Linn county vote was 80
loyal to Mr.. Good as to carry him
thru. &c." ~
Mr.. Huber is easily Tama's leading
citizen, and while Tama regrets his
departure they all Join In congratu-
lating him on his preferment at the
hands OF President Wilson and feel
sure that he will return here at the
close Of his six-year term Of Office
