ENTHUSIASTIC RALLY : . . | BANQUET AND LOVE FEASTAT AL. BION TUESDAY PROVE VERY . SUCCESSFUL ‘ : "j : 1 MANY NOTED MEN SPEAK Fine Chicken Dinner and Brilllant Oratory Puts Pep: Into Party - Members : An air of enthusian pervaded the big assembly of Twelfth Distriet democrats at the opening meeting in Albion Tuesday. Optimism was expected of the candidates but every democrat present. seemed imbued with a feeling that this is the year when the principles of democracy will triumph in county, state and natlon. . Owing to the almost impassable condition of the country highways the attendance was not what it would have been if the roads would have permitted vehicles to pass over them with any - degree of speed or satisfaction and yet this very circumstance is a powerful object lesson of republican incompetency in Indiana. : The great majority of the people who filled the opera house were farmers and it is the farmer sYyote which sways the elections in Indlana. The farmers are familiar with the hardships brought upon them by the Goodrich administration along witha republican legislature and they are not liable to vote for a continuation of such public seryige. | The banquet lterw,»d by the Methodist ladies of Alhion was of the finest character and the spread won praise from every participant. It was nearly two o'clock when At-

torney Theodore Redmond, of Kendallville, the ttoastmaster of the occasion called upon the candidates and their representatives fér speeches. Those to respond were Judge Wrigley, of Albion, David Whitleather, Columbia City, Avery Groves, Fort Wayne, Ed. G. Hoffman, secretary of the National democratic committee, SBamuel Foster; Fort Wayne, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Glen Smiley, Fort Wayidb, representing Kirby Risk, candidate for governor, John Isenbarger, North Man chester, Mason J. Niblack, Vincennes, and Dr. McCullough, of Indianapelis, all candidates for governor. e The time was about used up when Congressman Ben F. Welty, of Ohio. arose to make the main address and he had to confine himself to a few generalities. The speeches all elicited applause and many of the wﬁucums.‘ and ludricrous comparisons provoked bursts of laughter. “This is the year.” The slogan-for victory in the old ‘Twelfth district, and it will be adopted in every county as it has been in Noble . In the course of his 'very earnest speech Judge 'Wrigley paid a high compliment to Glenn E. Thrapp, of Avilla, the only democratic candidate for prosecuting attorney. And the judge made an announcement which

will be gratifying news to mﬁu of the bar and to the people of Noble and Whitley counties when he an- . nounced that David V. Whitéleather of Columbia City had consented tq be--‘come the candidite of the democrats ~ for judge of the Noble—Whitley court. - It was hoped by many of his friends that Judge Wrigley who has served so ‘well and faithfully for twelve years ' ‘might stand for re-election but he declined the.honor and pledged his loyal ' ‘support to Atm&y, Whiteleather. It is understood that Theodore Red- . mond, of Kendallville, or Avery { Groves of Fort Wayne, will stand for ;tbe. nomination for congress. . ¢ * .+ George W. Starr, thé city council- . man of Ligonier, has yielded to the : pressure gf his friends and filed as a . candidate for sheriff of this county. Mr. . Starr made a most favorable impress- » fon at the Albion meeting. He is com-

. petent courgeous and strictly honest “‘which are the strongest gualifications _ which can be urged in favor of any . candidate for the position. g It is to be devoutly hoped that Wil;liam H. Loy of Perry township, will iconsent to the use of .his pame for s county commissioner.. Mr, Loy has all the qualifications to fit him for the ‘important office, . : ' < When a tele . from Vice Presi- - Qent Mﬂlwmd to the big ‘audience and reference was made to ' the death of his little adopted son Rev. ‘Frank Hickmain took the floor to recommend that resolutions of - con“and forward to Mr. and-Mrs. Marshall -*] am mot exactly a democ: ‘e ald " Rev.

These invitations should be heeded by all and our houses of worship should be filled The pastors are coroperating in this work and they should have ‘the assistance of all good ‘people. Passion week, the close of lent will be observed in a great central union service “1 the Presbyterian church. . - The following extract from the wwl ‘street Journal is very apt at this time since it is written by a hard headed journalist and is not a flight of pulpit eloguemps L. ; | ~ "What_America negis nore than railway extension, and Weswrn irrisation, and a low tariff. and a higger watat crop, an a merc.ant marine and a new navy. s u revival of piety, the kind meother and father uscd.to -have—piety that caunted it ﬁ)()(l’bliﬁf-k ness'to stop for daily fantly prayers before breakfast, right in the middle of the harvest; that quit work a half hour earlier Thursday nigh:, 30 as to get the chores done and go to the prayer meeting; that borrawed money ‘to pay the preacher’s salary, and pray. ed fervently in secret for the salyation of the rich man who looked. with scorn on such unbusiness-like beMavior.

The membérship now numbers 30 and it is the object of the Post to increase it to at least 50 within the next 30 days.

He ‘was removed to his home and may be 18id up sometime. This is the second time Mr. Feldheiser, who is a member of the city council has been :;sl;red in a similar manner. v, ' . It seems that N. Y.

Having perishable goods Mr. Feldheiser was anxious to reach the market with the result indicated above. o ° ‘Undoubtedly the railway company will be called upon to settle with Mr. Feldheiser. %

. Why Prices Are high. 0. V. Borger calls attention to the, fact that as the supply of farm pro-j ducts decrease and the demand in population centers increase’ the high cost of living is bound to keep up. He} says in York township there are 35 empty farm houses with an equal num-{ ber in Perry and other townships of Noble county. If this condition obtains all over tife country, and there is every reason to believe it does, production on the farm is bound to fall off Mostof the farm help and fanme retnter have moved to town to work in the factories and have become consumers of products of the farm intead of pro-| ducers It is easy to determine what ‘this condition will lead to. i e i i - Freight Truck Line. ’ A freight truck will soon. be put in operation to run from .Nappanee tw Fort Wayne, by the way of Milford, Syracuse, Cromwell and Churubusco and Wolf Lake.

EIGHT PER CENT DIVIDEND DE. CLARED WEDNESBAY NIGHT FOR BENEFIT OF STOCK-: HOLDERS ' ORDERS GONTINUE TO POUR IN Valuable Reputation Built Up For Making Finest Goods On the i Market - - At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Ligonier Refrigerator Company at the offices in this ciy Wednesday evening all the officers who have worked so hard to build up the big and properous business were re elected: President—Wilbur W.

The Ligonier Refrigerator Companv is an outgrowth of the old BauntaBender company. The new concern came into being in 1915 and from that date the manufactory has - stéadily grown until today it is one of the jargest and best known in the country doing business direct with the consamer. = L ./

It was necessary fo build from the ground up and the officers fixed as their foundation the best article possible to produce for the money. - The refrigerator and counters made by the- company .are of high order and by maintaining a high standard of excellence a reputation has been established which is worth much more to the stockholders than temporary dividends for it melins that the concern is upon a sound financial footing with many years of profitable business before it. R : _ Ligonier may well be proud of the mhim&tsarmmaﬁﬁmﬁ&%f pany. It employs a large number of men at good wages which makes the institution a .valuable asset o the vity. For the past year the greatest worry of Messrs Wood and Henoch is to fill the orders which have poured in and are still coming. In order to meet growing demands the working force will have to be enlarged and the facilities for manufacture broadened.

Toastmaster Burt Bigterhen made a few happy remarks before calling for toast. Fred E. Welr was the first speaker and his address -ea the subject “The Son Through Father's Specs” provoked much mirth and eall#d the most favorable comment. The respond® by Bob Taylor “Fathers Through the Boy's Specs” was equally as able and entertaining. Taylor is the recently elected mayor of the Boye Hrothertiood Republic for Ligonier and he has acquired an easy style of publie speaking. ;

A W.
