He spoke of the abnormal conditions confronting us - everywhere,
mncb of which came as a result of
the war and most of which bad been
unavoidable. ..* Many bad taken advantage of tbese conditions to profit
nnduly, something that the farmer
could not do. There is great unrest
iu the country and unprincipled men
ae ever, are seeking to use organized
labor for their own sinister* ends.
Every member of congress who bas
dared to oppose any of the schemes
of tbese labor leaders is marked for
slaughter. a
**I am folly conscious", Mr. Currie
said, "that for members of congress
to do their full duty to the public
means in some cases banishment
from public life. Personally I would
rather a thousand timeB over be retired to private life, conscious that I
had tried to squarely meet the issue,
than to be returned to congress and
know at tbe critical time in the Nation's history I had been a party to
surrendering tbe pnblic interests and
welfare into the hands of any organization. The right will prevail, free
government will survive. I have an
abiding faith in tbe intelligence of

Says Hippler.
DETROIT MAN
WelljKnown Here Through Work
'In Liberty Campaigns.
Editor The Sentinel: —
It is refreshing to note the awakening of public conscience and   tbe   ap.
preciaiion   of   civic   duty   for   public
service on part   of  onr   citizenry.    A
large number of men   throughout the
state, to whom public 'service   means
private   sacrifice,   bave  nevertheless
agreed to assume the   duties   and re- .
sponeibilities of public office to   serve
tbeir fellow   citizens  ,  And I congratulate tbe people of the 28th Senatorial
District that rhev bave tbe opportunity    to   secure    tbe   services    of   Mr
James S. Bicknell   of   Clare,   as   their
representative  in   the    state   senate.
There seems to be the impression prevalent   among   onr    people   that  tbe
office of  member   of   the   state   legislature   is   of    secondary . importance.
But this is   wrong.    The   law-making
body of our state should be composed
of men of   the  highest   conception of
their public duty; men of business experience, with a thorough   knowledge
of tbe needs not only of their   respective districts, but the State  at  large.
. Such a\nan   is James   S.   Bicknell,
cashier of the Citizens Bank of Clare.
Through   my   association   with   him
during the several Liberty Loan campaign, I bad  occasion   to   appreciate
his unswerving fealty to pub.ic   duty,
his strength of character and intimate
knowledge   of local and etate affairs,
bis staunch patriotisn,   his   loyalty to
his home county and its  citizens   and
what impressed me most, his antiring
efforts to be of   service.    I know that
he will  receive   tbe   unanimous  vote
of tbe   Republicans   of   Ciare   county
but be deserves an equal ^recognition
of. hia service on the part of   tbe   Republicans of tbe other counties of the
District- on   August   31,    who ' should
consider it a duty   to   themselves and
the State at large to  avail themselves
oi the services of a man of Mr.   Bick-
neli's ability.      .
Witb best wishes and sincere regards of your paper and all my good
friends in Clare County, I am Mr.
Editor,
Sincerely yours,
J. B. Hippler.

We sre informed that Hoy Woodruff of Bay City spoke to an audience
of perhaps 40 or 60 at Duncans Hall
on Wednesday evening of last week.
Wo do not know who his publicity
man was, but he seems to have dona
a poor job. Mr. Woodruff is a good
speaker and should bave a good
audience. Certainly we should have
been glad to bear him, but we beard
nothing of it till tbe next day. We

tbat they were personally invited to

We were not able last week to publish the report of tbe wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs Dewey Allen
of Vernon, a very full report of which
was furnished us by Mrs. J. H. Wil- .

brief abstract.
This was the 40th  anniversary   and
Ithe attendance was very large, over
100, many coming from other parts of
the state and some from outside.
The house was appropriately decorated for the occasion and tables were
set on thetlawn for serving the elegant lunch provided for the occasion.
An interesting program, consisting
ot music, vocal aud instrumental,
recitations, etc., was carried out, Mrs*
John Duncan furnishing some "reminiscences" in the life of the host and
hostess.
