The Argument Used

WY the makers Of the second-class baking
IL powders to induce the dealer to push
IA E them off on Royal consumers is that
they cost less than Royal and afford
the dealer much more profit.
But you, madam, charged the same price
for them as for the absolutely pure Royal. which
is perfectly combined from the most highly refined
and expensive materials. The lower cost of the
others is caused by the cheap, impure materials
used in them, and the haphazard way in which
they thrown together.
Do you wish to pay the price of the Royal
for inferior baking powder, made from i'm
pure goods, of II per cent less strength? If
you buy the other powders, insist upon having
a corresponding reduction in price.

"Ihe great amount of drunkenness is

us which you but slightly comprehend.
1t is decreasing somewhat, though, L
believe. There IS a strong sentiment
growing in favor of restricting the liquor

is growing toward local option. or

virtually an election. a great crowd
thrOnged the galleries, but the floor of
representative hail was cleared. w. q.
Wagner was chosen chairman and took
his seat amid storm of objections on
the part of the Stockbridge men.
The first contest was upon resolution
of the StOckbridge forces that the men,
bers stand by the result OF the caucus.
The ants offered substitute to the
effect that il should require majority
of the members elected to nominate.
The substitute was defeated by a vote of
A. to 30. The original resolution was
then adopted by vote of 50 to ).
Senator Clapp, of Calhoun, then took
the platform. and, in very graceful
speech, placed Senator StockbTidge III
nomination. Representative Ewing. of
Hillsdale, then eloquently performed
the same duty for eX Gov.
Luce. The nomination of J. A.
Hubbell and Gen. Hartsuff, of
Port Huron. followed. All of the call
didates received several seconds. when
ballot was ordered, resulting: Stock

ing, 2; j. G. Fitzgerald, l; B. NJ. Cutch-

lowed a general stampede to Stock
bridge. Motion to make the nomination
unanimous was defeated by Ewing, of
Hillsdale, who refused to change his
vote from Luce. but subsequently did so
and the vote was made unanimous. A
committee was appointed to bring all
the candidates before the caucus and
they made short addresses.

DWYER's BEEF"
He Beat Himself Out of the County
Board Craftsmanship,

Thomas Dwyer. county commissioner,
is doing a good deal of talking, it APP
pears, about how he came to be de-
feated for president of the board of
county commissioners. He claims that
the craftsmanship belonged to him, and
he seems to be trying to create the im-
preston that Edward j. Conroy did
something dishonorable when he ac-
cepted the craftsmanship. In the opinion
OF q large number of people, Democrats.
ana good ones. too, Mr.. Dwyer is max
ing 'holy show" of himself. Careful
inquiry shows that Mr.. Dwyer
could have been elected chairman
had he been willing to act fairly.
Conroy did not want to be chairman. He
was not looking for the place at all. But
he did wait little recognition on the
board. he having defeated one of the
strongest men on the whole Republican
ticket. DwYer and Oswald had pre-
pared to boss the board. They were
going to control all the appointments
which fall to the board. Conroy and
Egan, the two new members. were to De
allowed the naming of but one emplOye
of the board, janitor of the court house.
They had been promised that DR..
O'Brien would be elected county ply
Sician, but when it came to caucus
Dwyer and Oswald would not agree to
O'Brien. Two caucuses were held with
out result. Then Conroy and Egan con-
cluded to organize the board them
selves.
That is all the foundation to Dryers
claim that he was beaten out of the
craftsmanship. lie and Oswald over
reached themselves. The Democrats of
the county are we'll satisfied with Con-
roy for chairman.

months absence devoted to race-wn-
ming. johnson has been all through
the South this winter and has won the
big majority of all the races he has en-
tered. He says the records next summer
will lie between Rhodes, Zimmerman,
Sanger and himself. He has not made
up lis mind yet what he will be
able to do in the international
races-in Chicago, as there he will meet
Zimmerman for the first time. As he
has beaten Rhodes and Lumsden. men
who have pedaled record to thinner

will work up the ice for few days and
then go to Newburg, n. Y, to enter the
