FRIENDS SAY
, WARNER WILL
SHOW UP STRONG
IONA PARTIES INTERESTED IN
DEFEATING LOCAL CANDI-
DATE FOR LEGISLATURE

Shortly after Fred l.. Warner, of
this city had announced his intention
of again entering the race for the
nomination and election to the state
legislature, an Ionia paper came out
with the announcement that strong
influence from scources in Iona
would be brought to bear in the cam
paign with a view to defeating Mr..
Warner, who has been member OF
the legislature for some time and
who last year won in the race for
the speakership.
Friends of Mr.. Warner in this city
say that his chances for the nomi-
nation and election are good and that
in case he wins the election, he Will
undoubtedly be selected as speaker
of the house at the next session OF
the legislature. They say that the
opposition limited at by the lonia pa
per comes from a certain politician
at the county seat who desired to
name the men on certain important
committees and whose wrath was
somewhat aroused when Speaker
Warner PLAYED fair and square and
named men of his own selection and
with due regard for their fitness and
other qualifications taken into con-
sideration-on the committees. Fol-
lowing this, this same party was
peeved several other times over the
way certain legislation was handled
and having an axe to grind, laid the
whole thing up against our local man
and determined to get his scalp when
election rolled around again, War
ner's friends say that he has re-
ceived many letters from people in
all parts of the country pledging Mr..
Warner their support and that this
would indicate that Opposition is
a one-lunged rule or ruin affair on
the part of some fellow down in Ionia
who couldn't have his own sweet way
in the selection and appointment of
the members of legislative commit
tees.
When asked by reporter of the
Banner-News regarding the fight
which he would put up and what he
thought his opposition would be, Mr..
Warner merely said -"You just wait
and see, but his friends say that he
has plenty of ammunition and that if
it is fight the other fellow wants,
Fred will be able to hold his own and
they are confident of his success.
At any rate the chances are that
if the expected opposition develops,
as promised, we'll see some fight in
the primaries and subsequent elec-
ton.

Mrs. Skellenger was SO years of
age and until about three weeks ago
had been in her usual good health
and seemed to be good for many
more happy years among the scenes
and friends whom she had known and
loved for so long. About three
weeks ago she suffered stroke of
paralysis and about week ago a
stroke of apoplexy followed, result
ing fatally on Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. Ske,lenger was one of the
real pioneers of this section of the
country and had lived here practi-
cally all her life. Only last sum-
mer she. together with her husband
Henry Skellenger, celebrated the
golden anniversary of their marriage
and to all appearances she seemed
to be good to celebrate, in due time,
the diamond anniversary. No one
entered into the joyful spirit Of the
occasion more than did Mrs. Skel-
lenger and to those who were pres
ent at that time, the news of her
death will seem doubly sad.
Funeral services were held at her
late home Tuesday afternoon at one
o'clock, Rev. H. S. Ellis, officiating
and burial was in Smyrna cemetery.
Surviving are the husband, two
sons, Andrew and Ross and daugh-
ter, Mrs. John Mehney.

.bO. COMMERCE
MEMBERS HAVE
LIVELY MEETING
MEMORIAL PARK, DIRTY AL
LEYS, FREIGHT AND PHONE
RATES ARE DISCUSSED

The board of commerce had one
of its supper meetings on Wednes-
day night last which was one of the
best ever held by that body of men.
About ninety sat down 10 one of
those good suppers which no one
else can put on for 20 cents. The
eats were followed by community
singing in which al joined. They
were all cd songs that brought to
light talent unknown heretofore.
After the minutes had been read
and some new members voted in, III.
A. Smith reported for the Civic
committee On the campsite PROPOSE
tion which is still in embryo. He
made a strong plea for some plan
to do away with our greatest menace
the gargage of the city. A warm
discussion followed and a recommen-
dation was finally voted unanimous
ly THAT the city should take some
action toward gargage disposal, or
at least through regulating ordi-
nance with teeth in it, that will
compel property owners to clean up
in respect for the public health. Par
ticular reference was made to our
alleys adorned at nearly all times
with garbage heaps, mud holes and
filthy water, all surrounding the
source of our food supply.
DR.. Smith gave a report for the
memorial with figures on the esti-
mated cost as now proposed. A num-
Der spoke on this subject with the
result that the memorial was left
open for further consideration but
it was voted to accept the gift of
Mr.. A. N. Belding of land for mem
orial purposes, on behalf of the city.
In connection with this proposed
improvement the depot property
came up for discussion and the Sec
retary was instructed to ask the p.
M. Railway people their intentions
in regard To the plats of ground at
each end of the depot and if neces-
sary cooperate with them in laying
it out in proper manner and in
keeping with the proposed memorial
park.
Councilman M. M. Benedict told
of the contemplated additions to our
fire equipment which would give US
first aid fire apparatus both In town
and for our farmer friends around
us. The members voted unanimous
endorsement of this move on the
part of the city council. During the
discussion it was brought out that
we might expect soon to see the old
four arm traffic signals replaced by
something more up to date.
AS soon as the new fire equipment
is in service, it is the intention of
the board TO take action toward
reduction in fire insurance rates to
which the people of Belding are en-
titled.
The big fireworks came last when
he secretary proposed that we have
representation at the telephone rate
hearing to be held m Lansing soon.
Most every one had something to say
for and against all utilities and at
times several were talking at once.
1t was quite evident that the men,
bers are all alive to the problems
that are confronting us today. A
final vote was taken favoring the
city be represented at this hearing
nv it's attorney and the board send
its secretary.
These meetings are always inter-
esting and place where every man
from any walk in life can express
himself on the things that are vital
to Belding. All red blooded citizens
should join this organization and
help work them out.
