to the Star from St. Joseph, Mo-, says:
There will be stroug opposition in this
part of the state to the reappointment
of Col. John I. Crisp as member of
the board of fish commissioners. 1t
will be urged against him that
the law does not permit MEM
Der of the legislature to hold
an appointive office, but the real
objection is that he has left
this part of the state without fish, and
is making an effort, it is charged, to
have the hatchery south of this city
abandoned by the state. No fish have
been Matched here for several years.
and the streams in this part of the
state have not had fish put in them
for the same length. of time.

metallic conference was called to or
der to-day in Lansing theater Over
1, 900 delegates were in attendance, in
GLIDING the members of both houses OF
the legislature, which had adjourned
for the occasion. William j. Bryan was
the principal speaker. When he arose
to address the convention the applause
was deafening. He reviewed the cam
paign from the Chicago convention till

with the efforts to be made
during the next four years, there
could be no question of victory in 1909
He said that while the doctrine of BIZ
metallism had been defeated at the
polls, it had made many republicans
hope that bimetallism would be Sc
cured before the next presidential
election. Some friends of the cause
feared the republicans would manage to
steal the bimetallic thunder but If
they had a desire to steal he was ready
to place his thunder upon the front
porch, where it would be within easy
reach OF the thieves He spoke for
nearly an hour and at the close the
audience rose and gave him three
hearty cheers.
