The eighth district populists held their
convention in Saginaw Wednesday, with
46 delegates in attendance. The informal
BALLOT for congressman gave Frank Savage,
of Dyfon, z of the Al votes cast, the formal
ballot gave him votes, with no choice,
when two of the three others who received
votes withdrew in favor of Savage, which
would have given him votes enough for
nomination. Savage, however, declined to

q wholesome, keeps the water sweet and

revenue for their district an affidavit as to

2-cent stamps to stamp each pack. AffiX
the stamps and then cancel them-or pay
Uncle Sam $50 for every unstamped pack
