Is MANCHESTER COMMERCIAL
CLUB A REPUBLICAN, CLURi

-aas SLUD II ALl ODAAAfA1N OAOASsFsSs
At the invitation OF the Manchestel
Commercial club large number o
people from Manchester and alm0s
every other town in Delaware County
assembled at the Armory Tuesda,
evening. Ostensibly the meeting was
an annual get-to-gether meeting, al
which questions concerning the bes'
interests Of Delaware County would be
openly and amaciably discussed, the
scope Of the Commercial club enlarged
and its membership substantially in
creased. After partaking sumptousiy
of delicious banquet. the toast-mas.
ter, A. NJ. Cloud, arose and bade all tc
take position OF ease and enjoy the
trist Of music, oratory and song.
He outlined the purpose OF the meet
ing and began introducing the num-
bers on the programme. By some
strange coincidence, almost every
speaker happened to be republican
candidate for office. No Significance
should attach to this fact since none
OF them talked politics. They con-
fined their remarks very happily to
general community topics. 1t was
suggested that the name Of the club
be changed to one that would embrace
all Delaware County.
AS a headliner q certain Mr.. Ken
dali, who by the way is q republican
candidate for governor OF Iowa, was
introduced AS befits a sprouting
candidate, he skillfully eschewed the
subject Of politics and lest he might
arouse the slightest ripple Of opposi.
ton. he decided. to stay on proven
ground, and took for his theme, the
safe and sane subject -..The United
States Of America. The politician
aims to offend no one: to be non-com-
initial and yet to, "fill the bill"
He handled his subject very ably in
general way always taking such
approved positions as to incur the
wrath OF none other than pronounced
radicals. Produce more, put the
fads out OF our public schools, and be
a 100 per cent. American" formed the
burden of his talk. Such is the de-
scription Of the meeting. q,
Viewed from any angle you will, It
was sNperlative failure. II the pur-
pose Of the gathering was to promote
community. good fellowship, it failed
in as much as many firmly resent
lending the Commercial club as q poll
teal foot stool for office seekers. II
the sinister purpose were to lend a
helping hand to republican candidates.
1t failed here, too. as sensible men will
expect more from candidates than a
few vague generalities and trite plati-
tudes, even II they do bristle with
carefully suggested adjectives.
I Thoughtful people expect today a
firm stand upon clearly defined poli-
cies from all who aspire to office, es-
peciafly that of governor.
On the whole the meeting was a
successful failure, a travesty, an abor-
ton and the people Of this community
are not such simpletons as to fall for
it," JUNIUS. 5.
