Upper Wisconsin appeals to the busi-

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS AND

MlsREPREsENrEo IN
NEWSPAPER STORIES
Denial Made That Marion Citizens
Have Consented to Removal OF
Court House-ro Make Appeal to
Citizens Of Linn County and to
Circulate Petitions Of Protest.

Marion, Feb. 1.-THE commercial
club of Marion announces that her cit
liens will vigorously oppose any effort
on the part Of Cedar Rapids to move
the county government to that city
and its members take issue with Local
newspapers regarding the joint con.
ference between committees repre-
senting the chamber of commerce and
the Marion organization held in this
city last week.
The following resolutions were
adopted by The Marion commercial
club at meeting:
BE 1t resolved. That we are op-
posed to the removal OF the county
seat from Marion, and for the rea
sons which have always been ad.
yanced by tho people Of Marion and
which are we'll known.
We especially protest against such
proposed movement At this time d,
time when the people Of the county
are yet engaged in war activities, and
in view of the demands which have
been made on the people during the
last two years, and which will be
made in the future on account of the
war. We earnestly protest against
burdening the people Of the county al
this time with such a movement and
with the work and expenses incident
thereto; it is unfair to start such a
movement at his time.
We respectfully protest against the
articles so published in the Cedar Rap
ids Republican and in the Cedar Rap
ids Gazette on Feb. s; such accounts
nave created a false impression as to
the statements made by our committee
and as to their attitude al such meet
ing and as to the attitude Of the people
of Marion; such-acounts were not fair
to our committee, nor fair to the club.
and not fair ID the people of the coun-
ty. Such accounts make it appear
that the people of Marion sent a COM
mittee to Cedar Rapids on their own
motion to propose a plan for the re-
moval of the county seat which was
false. The truth is, our committee
went on invitation, and vigorously OPP
posed the proposed movement.
Resolved further That if the pro-
posed movement shall be started by
the people of Cedar Rapids at this
time; that it be the sense of this club
that such a movement he opposed by
the people of Marion, anu their friends
throughout the county, by the circu-
lation of a remonstrance against the
calling of sucn special election this
year.v
