Conference Delegates
Guests in Homes
SWEGLE Several of the del
egates and members attending the
west conference of the Mennonite
churches held at Pratum over this
past weekend were entertained in
Swegle homes. Guest speaker for
the convention was Rev. Wilber
Regier from Los Angeles, who is
the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs.
E. E. Welty, of Garden road. He
was entertained in their home.
At the Leonard Harms home
Saturday , evening were J. J. Jen
sen, D. Schultz and C Classen
from Pas Robles, Calif. At the
Menno Dalke home were Mrs.
John Dalke, her son Henry, wife
and baby from Newport, Wash., on
Saturday, and on Sunday Mr. and
Mrs. John Jensen and family from
Dallas.
Mrs, C D. Boone recalled that
5.5 ' I t t
Frank, Tucker's father, "Uncle
Ben',, ;as the pople ! of the neigh
borhood called him, was always
the first voter at the bolls every
election year. Bright and early, as
reported by the late Henry Port
ter, Uncle, Ben always appeared
to casf the first ballot Mrs. Boone
remembers that as a; child she
liked to play with the short, nar
row tickets", as they 1 called the
ballots, which her jf ather, Henry
Porter, had left oyerl from the
elections. - - , I" -f : v I -.
Mrs; T. C. Mountain remembers
the election of 60 years! ago rather
vividly : though she,; was just six
years told. ;
Enthusiasm Reflected
In Naming of Team
She: recall$ that ;her father. a
veteran of the civil war, from
which! he had received a discharge
after jfour years of service just
19 years before, was (very siire
of the election for Blaine Logan.
In his: enthusiastic belief he named
two young colts in his family of
fine horses, one Blaine, the other
Logan. - ; j " . - "j .
Inheriting tendencies from some
where along the line of ancestry.
Blaing never would stay put. He
could run away or vault over a
lour jfoot nedge ience, with no
effort1, at all. So the problem was
solved by hitching him up. to
work! with Logan, a faithful, de
pendable plodder. I j !!
During the summer preceding
the fall election, mugwumpsre
publicans who wouldn't' support
the party candidates and worked
for Cleveland's election I together
with prohibitionists, split the re
publican party. Mrs. Mountain
recalls watching her father, pre
cinct committeeman, take a lot
of little "tickets" . and the ballot
box, almost at the crack of dawn,
and make his way j across the !
creekj through the woods of their
Kansas farm to the little white
country schoolhouse where tl
election was to be held. I ?
Disappointment of Republican j
Father is Recalled ; j !
It was daylinght next morning
when he returned. It had taken all
night to count the votes, and in
that township, Blaine had lost
News didn't flash across country
in those days. Daily newspapers
were almost unknown. But finally,
after anxious days j it became
known that the Kansas townships
were not the only ones which had
failed the Republican party. Mr.
Tucker tells us Oregon did it too.
And New York from whence came
Grover Cleveland, from, east and
south 'the same report the election
of a democrat for . the first time 1
in 21 years.
Mrs. Mountain remembers that
at six years of age, ' she still
thought the colts, Blaine and Lo
gan were just as fine as they were
before the election, so she got the
family lead pencil when nobody
was looking and the leftover
"tickets" and played school with
themJlt was a nice change from
a slate and DenciL
She was considerably more In

election. - 7" ' ;
