Tatj Buday september 21, 1916. New series vol. Ii. Kumber 50baialiion meet King soldiers will enjoy saturday at their annual gathering. A rousing Republican county republicans Are making a vigorous Campaign. The battalion meetings Are not of a secret nature but instead they Are open to the Public the citizens generally Are invited to co operate with these old Fellows and Aid in making this one Day in the year a very interesting one for them and their visitors. True they have their business meetings which have More or less secrecy about them but the general meetings such As will be held this coming saturday september 23, is open for All who desire to attend. The review Republican would suggest that All the merchants Lav yers doctors and real estate men everybody do a Little decorating Early in the morning in other words have Williamsport put on her sunday clothes and look her Best in Honor of the old boys who will be our guests and the guests of Bryant Post on that Day. These boys Are old and feeble Many of them almost past going and it remains for the younger generation to take up the work where they have Laid it Down and go on with it. It will Only require a Evv moments of your time to hang out a Flag or two and to decorate your windows which will not Only be pleasing to your soldiers but to your customers and friends of the soldiers As Well. A program has been arranged by the ladies g. A. R. Circle that will be Given in the court House in the afternoon together with the speech to be de Vered by Hon. Jos. M. Rabb now of Logansport but a former judge of this judicial circuit. At the noon hour dinner and a splendid one too will be served by the g. A. R. Circle ladies which will Cost you Only 25 cents but it will be Worth twice the Money. At 10 o clock the soldiers will form in single file on Monroe Street and March into the court House where they will hold a business meeting. There will be martial music the kind that stirred your heart and made your blood boil with patriotism some fifty years or More ago. It will be the same old kind that will bring quickly to your minds the scenes of those Days Long gone by when these Gray haired veterans were Only Mere boys Clad in Blue uniform and marched away beneath a starry Flag that Means so much to All of us. There will also be perhaps a Short band concert immediately after dinner which will add to the pleasure and entertainment of the Day. Now if everybody will just do a Little if everybody will do something towards decorating and if All will unite in one grand Effort to make this the Best meeting Ever held by the battalion there is no reason whatever Why we can t fill the court room full to overflowing Why we can t make the town Gephart Case decided. Look its Best and Why we can t have this meeting pass into history As the Best and most enthusiastic Ever held in Williamsport or in the history of the battalion. Lay your plans now and work to that end let us show the people we Are alive. Up in Benton county where sometimes the vote is a wee bit shaky the republicans held an enthusiastic meeting at Gilboa Center located in the extreme Northeast part of the county. There is nothing there but a school House and a Church surrounded by some of the finest farms and most Clever people that god Ever looked upon with favor. Clever Why yes to an extreme. These Good people decided to have a big Republican rally and they knew that a Man and especially Hon. Ele Stansbury could make them a much better speech if he had the inner Man appeased and they prepared a Chicken pie supper with ice Cream and cake on the Side. Ele was not very hungry but two big plates full of the splendid Chicken pie disappeared without the least exertion on his part. After the supper Wilbur Nolin the present candidate for prosecuting attorney of Benton and Warren counties called the House to order and in a Short speech calculated to Start the enthusiasm boiling introduced the speakers. A or. Wood of Jasper county was the first speaker who Only talked a few moments and was followed by or. Stansbury who began his talk by stating that his Campaign was the most important one since the Days of 1864, and gave plausible and substantial reasons Why every Republican voter should do his utmost to bring about a Republican Victory this fall. He discussed the National affairs at some length and Laid Bare the Short comings of or. Wilson. Then he took up the state issues and for the first time Many of his auditors Learned of the discrepancies of one Tommy Taggart who is the quot Boss quot the heart and soul of Indiana democracy. Or. Stansbury dealt strictly with facts not fables and fancies and when he had finished with Taggart a few of the democrats that were present meekly admitted the truth of the speaker s statements and one or two openly stated that they would have to Shelve democracy and take up with the party that was big enough to do things and get above a Mere Label. Or. Stansbury also told his auditors that the republicans stood for Protection of Home industries Home workmen and Home products. In figures and language he poured Forth a Valley of convincing arguments that could not be misunderstood and we dare say that if a few More speeches were made like or. Stansbury delivered last Friday night the people who do not read and think for themselves and who do not make a close study of the political situation would surely and without hesitation say to democracy As Register october 9 if you want to a a 0 t a a november 7tlia.
