Fraternal Union, was to have
done the honors in behalf o1
the Home Office at Pitts,

him of the pleasure and sent
us to Columbus in his stead.
Our remarks covered a
great deal of ground and
were devoted, in the main,
to the CrOatian Fraternal
Union i'm particular and our
good people in general.
We will leave our speech
to others to judge, for we
are hardly in a position tc
grade our own speaking
papers.
It wouldn't be cricket.
Our ordeal over, we sat
down to enjoy a neat speech
by Rev. Father Francis Mil.

Father, we'll done.

the Governor had nothins
but praise for our member
and people in Columbus ant
throughout his state of Ohio
He paid ringing tribute to the
immigrants who came tc
these shores to build this
great Country Of ours.
And he spoke with elo'
quence about the Croatiar
Fraternal Union and what il
has meant to our people since
it's inception in 1894, or six
ty-one years ago.
To prove that he Is not
ashamed of his descent,
Governor Lausche deliver

in the Slovene language.
To hear him speak in his
native tongue and remind
his listeners of such CrOat
historical greats as Zrinski,

Small wonder that this
man is now serving his fiftt
