Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 September 1909 — THE NEXT “LOVE FEAST.” [ARTICLE]

THE NEXT “LOVE FEAST.”

Secretary of State Sims, who is acting chairman of the Republican state committee, says he believes that the usual custom for perfecting the state organization will be followed th{s year, which is for a “love feast” on some day between Christmas and New Year’s day, to be followed by a formal call for a meeting of the committee some time in January.- Just what particular form of “love feast" this one is to be Mr. Sims did not say._ It is not expected that Mr. Fairbanks will get borne by that time. But these are others who ought to be able to give an interesting performance. Mr. Hemenway might tell what he “Thinks about Mr. Beveridge. Messrs. Watson, Taylor and Miller might give the inside history of the last Republican, state convention. Mr. Hanlv could in pleasant reminisCenes about the special session of the legislature and his experiences at Chicago. Mr. Beveridge will doubtless try to explain why he voted against the tariff bill which Mr. Taft approved and is going to defendJoe Kealing, Mr. Fairbanks's political manager, should give the facts about his resignation as United States district attorney. By all means Charlej’ Landis should enliven the gathering with a repetition of his 19tf% effort about “all sorts of jobs for all sort*; of men.” And finally, the Rev. Mr. Shumaker might explain to his 190 S allies how he proposes to work his new “non-par-tisan" game in the next campaign. If this “love-feast" happens to get started off on the right foot it ought to be very fetching entertainment.
