OF STATE BROWN
ADDRESSES GATHERING HERE,

The Clarence J. Brown meeting
held here Monday evening in the
Woodman hall, which was supposed
to be under the auspices of the Re.
publican Women's club was well
attended, locally and with delega-
tions and visitors from the sur
rounding counties. To Mrs. Grace
Dye, rather than the Republican
club is due the credit for the at
tendance. Speaking of the dele
cations from away, reminds us that
Monday a week apo, a delegation of
Brown followers from Noble county
came over, thinking Brown was to
speak here. When here they in
quired the way to the place of the
political rally, and were shown to
the Maccabee lodge i 4, where the
Democratic women were holding a
rousing Qeeting Lish ly the dele
cation stepped in tho all Hardly
had they gotten IN tan they heard
blast from one Of the speakers
that sounded like anything but a
Republican speech, and as soon as
members of the delegation got their
wind, they made their exit as quick
ly as though they had encountered
room full of porcupines.
Mr.. Brown and party arrived
here along in the evening and were
About 80 dined with him, but of
that number all were from away
but three, and two of them were
regular boarders at the hotel, and
the other one is after an appoint
ment. which Mr.. Brown will soon
make. How different it was from
the millionaire Cooper soup to
nuts" banquet here last month
when about so from the two towns
dined with the former governor
Clarence j. Brown is one of the
prominent men of the state-three
times has he been elected secretary
of state and has been lieutenant
governor. There was no good rea-
son why he should be snubbed in
the manner in which he was The
chairman. Mrs. Goldie Betz, and
secretary, Miss Nettie Henery, of
the women's Republican club were
at the hotel, but were merely chair
warmers in the hotel parlor, and
did not dine with the distinguished
guest. They were looking for
Shorty" Cook. Whether they were
going to kidnap him, rut spider in
his biscuit, or get rid of him in
some other manner, we have not
yet learned.
Going back a few weeks it will
be recalled that soon after Mr.
Brown announced his candidacy for
governor, and no other candidate
had been announced, Mrs. Grace
| Dye and others of Browns followers,
mere asked that the Republican ex-
| ecutive committee endorse the can
| didacy of Mr. Brown The Cooper
followers at once protested and
stated that it would not do to en-
dorse any candidate before the pri-
| mary. However when Kenneth Ray
got into the race for congressman,
this same bunch who refused Brown
the endorsement on grounds as
stated, insisted that the committee
endorse the candidacy of Mr.. Ray.
The reason that no banquet was
planned for Mr.. Brown may have
been due in part to the fact that
the ladies were too busy wrangling
as to who would introduce Mr..
Brown at the meeting. The chair
man, Mrs. Betz, insisted that she in
troduce Mr. Brown. that in so doing
1t would be 'non-factionaI." The
Brown-Moore followers objected,
and asked that Atty McGonagle do
the introducing. Fhe others then
objected, giving ae a pretense that
