E. A. JSonlman, when he found that A. J. Sawyer was to be his opponent for the legislatura remarked, 'AYell, it don't take much of a fellow to beat Sawyer.'1 Sawyer realized after that speech that hé was pretly small pumpkins, but having been elected under the eireumstances he feit all the better over it. He therefore had to celébrate, and not knowing where to flnd a better crowd, he picked out the printers to help him with his celebration. On Tueaday evening about fifty of the "profesh" sat down to an elegant banquet at the Portland Cafe. After discussing the good things, cigars were passed. and Mr. Sawyer as toastmaster proceeded to teil the printers what a nice lot of ftllows they were anyhow. After he had spread it on good and thick for a while, he began to cali on the printers, and of course they had to teil Sawyer what a good fellow he is. awyer liked their taffy so well that he called on most every man present. Geo. B. Cooper, Sid Millard, T.W. Mingay, Alvick A. Pearson, James Saunders, HarryParr, X. T. Corbin, Karl Ilarriinan, Clyde Kerr, and David Stevenson made very good speeches. They called on Glen JVIills then, and after he had talked about three quarters of an hour the boys said they must have time to change their clothes before going to work, so they gave Glen another banana and choked him off. They all went home voting S-awyer a "jolly good fellow," and the Portland Cafe -all right."
