“Get Together” Banquet Not Very Successful for Purpose Intended. Speaking of the “get together” banquet held by the republicans at MonticeUo last Thursday night, in which it was hoped to get all the “Bull Moosers” of White and adjoining counties back in the fold, Friday’s Monticello Journal says: Ihe republican love feast and banquet of which there has been so much talk is now a matter of history and still the talk goes on. According to those who triecl to keep tally of the plates served there were 576 people present. Of these there were quite a number of democrats but not many progressives. The success of the evening is variously Estimated owing to the political bias of the person that is doing the talking. As a get-to-gether affair it is doubtful if it was as much of a success as had been desired. Those i epublicans who'failed to get in on the free tickets given out by those who had bought blocks are a little tender in their feelings and there were various little incidents that happened that militates against the success of the affair. “Judge Chas. Hanley, of Rensselaer, presided; Rev. McCorkle pronounced the invocation; ew-Covernor Deneen, of Illinois, was the principal speaker; Dr. Frank Smith, of Gary, George Lockwood of Muncie, Will R. Wood of Lafayette, Eli Stansbury of Williamsport, and W. O. Thomas of this city, were the speakers." — i ■ t CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of
