and that it restore Mr. Alward to the
secretaryship.
The resolution was introduced by

Suspended upon the motion-of Senator

and the resolution placed upon its
immediate passage. A unanimous approval followed.
The resolution follows:

WOMAN WHO NAMED
CLARE PASSES ON
The second performance will dup-'
thirty years service as secretary, of • licate in every detail   the   flrst   one
the Republican State    Central    com-j^ck was well received last Thurs-
mittee has been displaced by the new
.state central committee, elected jat the
republican      state    convention    last
week.
"We know that throughout all that
time Mr. Alward has given his service
without compensation and without
Stint. He has been faithful and loyal';
to a party which he loves and be-
.lieves in.
"We know Mr. Alward to be the
highest type of loyal Christian gentleman, the type which we would be glad
to see more generally active in the
politics of state and nation. Always
efficient to the last degree and yet
always clean, unpartisan, able, Mr.
Alward has been a source of real
pride and of congratulation to the republican party.
"We believe that a mistake has
"been made which, will seriously affect
the fortunes of the republican party
hereafter. A just indignation has
been aroused throughout Michigan
and we join in expressing our indignation at the action of the new state
central committee, therefore be it
-.. "Resolved by the senates (the
house of representatives ■ concurring)
That we urge upon the Republican
State Central committee"** the advis-
. ability of quickly correcting the error made last week; that we urge
that committee to quickly reassemble
to reconsider its action, and that it
restore Mr. Alward to the place
which for so many years he has held
with honor to himself and to the republican  party;   and. be  it  further
"Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the chairman
ol the Republican State Central committee and each member and be
spread at large upon the journals of
the senate and house."
Mr. Alward's removal from the
secretaryship took -place at a meeting of the state central committee
called by Kennedy Potter a few
minutes after he was named chairman at the state convention. Despite
^a plea by some members to delay the
matter because only a bare quorum
was present, the election of Milton E.
Carmichael- as /secretary was "railroaded" through.
MR. ALWARD'S   REPLY
Out of my heart which is   full   to
overflowing   With   g/atitude, .1   giv.e
you and the members of the House
of    Representatives    my      sincerest
•   thanks.
You have honored my by your generous resolutions far more than I deserve. I admit that I have been a partisan but I know that in my party
' service I have done only what I conceived to "be my duty as a citizen, in
striving to uphold ,and make effective
in the government of my State and
Country those principles which I believed were righteous principles and
which, I was convinced, would bring
most of prosperity and joy to all the
people. Such service as that is the*
kind of partisanship I believe in. It
is the kind that moves one to try to
do the right as God gives him to see
the right and it is the kind that accords to those who differ from him
credit for the same sincerity of pur-
'•' pose that he claims for himself,- Looking back I can discdyer many blunders which I have made, but in your
kind partiality you refuse to count
them against me now. I wish I might
make myself believe that what little
I have been able to do in the service
of the Republican party merits your-
strong words of praise, hut you make
. me"j proud just the same, and no words
of mine can adequately express my
appreciation of your commendation
and your friendship.
The party has been very good to
me through all my manhood years
and it makes my heart glad to have
you tell me ypu think I have given
something in return.

Mrs,  Bridget Bergen  Dies
at Home of Daughter, at
Age of 90 Years.
Mrs. Bridget Bergen, widow of the
late Valentine Bergen, died Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, at •the
advanced age of 90 years, at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Joseph- Nold,
500 Fraser street.
Mrs. Bergen was born in County
Clare, Ireland, coming direct to Bay
City in 1858 and residing here continuously since that time. She was
married to Mr. Bergen in Bay City,
three children being born to them,
two of whom still survive, Mrs.
Joseph Nold, of this city, and Mrs.
Frances N-Old, of Detroit. She is also
survived by three grand-children,
Raymond and Arthur Nold of Detroit,
ind Miss Mary Nold, of Flint.
During her long residence in the
city—a period of 67 years—Mrs. Bergen saw many changes. Center avenue
was nothing but a swamp when she
arrived here. To her was given the
honor of naming of the city of Clare,
Mich.- William McEwan, who was instrumental in the founding of Clare,
gave Mrs. Bergen, who was then a
young woman living in his home, the
privilege of naming the town, so she
named it Clare after her birthplace
in Ireland.
In spite of her advanced years, Mrs.
Bergen was very active, both mentally and physically up to within ten
days of her death.
Funeral service Will be held Saturday morning at 9:00 o'clock at St.
..ames church.—Bay City Tribune.

Afforded Them by

The music lovers of Clare were
given a rare treat Wednesday evening at the musical concert given
under the auspices of the Ladies'
Guild of the Congregational church
at the High School auditorium. The
selections rendered by the Bancroft
Trio under the direction of Miss Nella Long were very high cla*ss and
greatly appreciated by the audience.
Seldom does a city the size of Clare
get an opportunity to hear a Soprano
Soloist having the exceptional ability and training that Lucille Sawyer
Burke "has. Very interesting and entertaining readings were given by
Miss Rose Mary Cornwell. Miss
Cornwell is the daughter of W. 0-
Cornwell, of Saginaw and Clare. Miss
Long took her first lessons on the
violin when living in the home of her
father, Rev, Long, in the Congregational parsonage on West Fifth street,
The Guild appreciate's the generosity of the talented artists, who gave
their services free of charge, expenses only, being paid, and thfey are
.also grateful for the patronage of the
people of the city and vicinity.
GLARE STUDY CLUB.
The Clare Study Club enjoyed another day of Italian music at the
home of Mrs. Wm. H. Caple Tuesday,
March* 3rd. This Is the second program of Italian music and art, and
both have been appreciated by the
members.: In answer to roll call,
each responded with sayings or some
interesting article about Edgar A.
Guest. This. is always an interesting part of the program.
Mrs. Mulder gave a paper on Italian Art,, and this was well received.
She also passed out small reproductions of paintings by the most famous
Italian artists. She mentioned in
particular six of whom are among the
leaders. In the following lines will
be found a few characteristics of these
artists that" might-be interesting to
others.
In the short sketch of the life of
Correggio, we learn that he waS'the
first artist to do friezing and decoration. He did but few pieces and died
very young. His heartfelt expressions
are lovely in his pictures. Titian,

Solons     Perplexed „ Regarding
Changing Name of M. A. C
Legislation was secondary- to politics during the past week as the
members of the 100 "per cent Republican State Legislature closed up
their desks at Lansing and departed
for the big G, O. P. conclave, held
at Deroit, Wednesday, February 25.
Four short sessions, held Monday
evening, Tuesday morning, late
Thursday afternoon, and Friday morn*
ing comprised the week's program. -
Important action was taken on
many leading arm bills. At the Monday evening session, when Senator
Lejand's.bill to* make the federal potato grades compulsory in Michigan
came up or final passage in the Senate, it met unexpected opposition.
After it had been attacked by a Detroit member and one or two others,
it was referred back to the Senate
Committee on Agriculture, This
measure has the backing of the Michigan Potato Growers' Exchange, the
Michigan State Farm Bureau, State
Department of Agriculture, College
authorities and many other influential groups.
Senator Leland's comparison bill
which would give the State Commissioner of Agriculture the necessary
authority to properly enforce state
grades and standards of farm products, - also encountered opposition
and was likewise referred back to the
Committee on Agriculture.

From the rural point of view, one
of the most important developments
in the House was the final passage of

'THE AVIATOR"
A JJIGSUCCESS
Seniors     Do     Themselves
Proud   Before   Packed
House*. Last    Week
Thursday Evening.
The much talked of,, and long looked for senior play was presented to a
packed house on Thursday, February
26. The advance notices, and all of
the advertisements were more than
lived up to, and the audience one and
all pronounced the play a complete
success. In many quarters could be
heard statements such as these. "A
better home talent play has never
been seen in Clare." The event was
a complete success from start to finish
because the participants and the
coach were not afraid of work. The
actors knew their lines Well and all
played their parts beautifully. This
is especially true of Reardon Caple
and Madaline DesOrmeau who played
the leading roles. Reardon made the
most of many , difficult situations.
Paul Koch, Vern- Stevens, Howard
Waite, and John Rodabaugh should
also be mentioned in particular for
their fine work. Much, credit is also
due to .the class adviser and~"coach
for the splendid performance. Paul
Koch Very capably expressed this
fact when he presented Miss Gardi
with a beautiful bouquet between
acts three and fpur when he .said,
"We seniors realize that we could not
have done very much without the ex-
'pert advice, and without the Job
like- "patience of our coach." The
velour curtain which will be left to
the school by the class of 1925 as a
memorial was presented to the Board
of Education by Frank BickneU president of the class between acts two
and three. Mr. E. A. Anderson in
accepting the gift in part said, "We
appreciate the curtain for more" than
one reason but largely because we be"
lleve that is a testlmoniar of your
good will toward the school district."
The plot in brief is as follows:
Robert Street (Reardon Caple) an
author wrote a -book entitled the
"Aviator." In it' he relates how he
took his first trip in a flying machine.
The public accepts him as a hero and
frequently at public gatherings he is
called upon to describe his experiences fo an airship. Finally lie is
called upon to actually demonstrate
his ability afl a flyer by entering a
contest. He tries to withdraw but he
is defoated at every turn. Even his
sweetheart (Madaline DesOrmeau)
demands'that he take the trip. The
day of the flight arrives and—well
come; out and see what happens—the
play will he repeated on March 18th.

INAUGURATION NOTES.
Never before in the world's history, have the people outside of
Washington had the privilege of enjoying the Inaugural ceremony of the
President, as < they did this year.
Following several stirring selections by the U. S. Marine band, those
listening in heard distinctly the oath
of office, administered to our President, by Chief Justice Wm. H. Taft.
This is the first time in our history' that an Ex-President has ever
performed such a ceremony.
The same bible, which was used,
when he took the oath, at his old
home in Vermont, was brought by his
father and used - in Wednesday's
.ceremony. . .'..''•
Economy and Peace were Coolidge's
Inaugural themes.
, "America seeks no earthly. empire
built on blood and force.
The legions which she sends forth
are armed not with the sword but
With the cross."
EARTH TREMOR IS
FELT IN CLARE
Extensive-Area in  United
States, and Canada Affected,   Millions  Are
Alarmed.
SAGINAW BAY REPORTED
CENTER OF QUAKE
Articles Hanging From Ceilings
Give First Alarm.
About 9:30 Saturday evening Michigan experienced the worst quake
tremor in .its history. Not only this
state affected,, but at different points
in Ontario, Wisconsin, Colorado,
Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and West Virginia,
Dr. Alolph Knopf, professor of geology at Yale, was quoted in.a New
Haven dispatch as saying that the
extent of the earth tremp.rs would
indicate that the disturbance was
greatest in extent and intensity since
the'earthquake which shook the east-
em part of this country in' 175&.
. In the county's great centers of
population—New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,- Washington, ' Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Boston, Detroit, and others
—the quake was severe enough fo
alarms-millions of people;
■ In home cities,- notably Detroit,
hotel guests hurried into the streets.
In others, theaters and movie halls
were vacated, their patrons mistaking the quake for a serious explosion.
New York's many stories canyons of
steel and concrete felt the shock too.
In fact, reports from observers at
Fordham University said that the
tremors, lasting for more than two
minutes, were the strongest ever felt
in the metropolis.
According to reports received from
the observatory at Tpronta, Ont., the
earthquake center was at the mouth
of the Saginaw river. In the city of
Saginaw pictures _and chandeliers
swung freely, tables jiggled and several severe tremors were felt but no
damage was done.
In Clare the tremor "was felt most
by Mrs. W. A. Sneary and her mother, ,
who were alone in their home upstairs in the large cement building on
east 4th street. They claim that besides the lights hanging from the ceiling swinging, the walls fairly moved.
At the Geo, Vandewarker store at
Colonville eight or ten men had gathered to do their shopping when it was
noticed that the pails and tubs hanging from the ceiling were swinging.
Further investigation found the glass
Shelves in the show cases moving,
Consternation ran high„ Many reasons were forwarded, but not until
they were informed by phone -were
they aware that they had experienced
the tremor of an earthquake., ',
LOUISE TOPPS WINS
MUSIC CONTEST
The thirty pupils . from grades 4th,
5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, Vho successfully
passed the preliminary music memory
contest, were given the final contest
Tuesday afternoon. The prizes do;
nated by Mr, E. A. Anderson will be
presented to the three highest contestants by Mr. Gumser Friday morning during the • assembly period. The
first prize will be awarded to Louise
Topps of the fifth grade. ' Second
prize goes to Frederick Bullis-of the
fourth grade and third prize will be
given to Mildred Stirling of the sixth
grade. Close contenders for third
prize were:—Neal Elden, Pauline
Bond, and Hazel Sutton, all of the
fourth grade. Miss Stonecliffe cannot
account for the fact that the winners
a,re members of the lower grades. It
will be noticed that not one seventh
Or eighth grader is mentioned among
the winners. It is felt that the children secured a gte&i deal out of the
Contest. They undoubtedly will better appreciate the better class of
music. And it should be remembered
that the main excuse for teaching
music in the public schools is that it
stimulates a • keener *"interest in the
finer things of life.
DECLAMATORY CONTEST
ML PLEASANT BUSINESSMEN
TO INVADE LOCAL VOLLEY BALL
Next Tuesday evening the . Mt.
Pleasant businessmen >will invade the.
local Volley Ball court. General Geo.
V. Collins lias selected a sextet which
he believes will win the honors for
the local merchants. The local merchants are Jones, Shoup, Gumser,
Elden,  Collins ahd Baby Thompson.
Tonight the aforenamed men will
practice their. fancy stuff against, a
team picked by Lewis Mcllwain.
Six Freshmen declaimers have been
working hard during the past three
weeks getting ready for the contest
which will be held at' the high school
during the regular chapel period on
Monday. The winner of thS contest
will later represent the Clare High
School in the sub-district contest. It
is hoped and expected that this; type
of work is only in its infancy. Next
year we hope to have orators and debaters. In fact there is a possibility
that we shall send an entrant to the
oratorial contest this year. The following program will be given at 9:45
on Monday to which the public is invited. Three teachers will act as
