Hon. w. f. Bricker was nominated
at Saranac on Thursday, as the demo
cratic candidate for representative for
the western district Messrs Henry
Frace, G. +. Huntsman, William Mer-
Ger were in the list OF names balloted
on. Bricker was nominated on second
ballot although a third was taken in
order to satisfy certain members of the
convention who wished it. Personally
speaking the BANNER has nothing but
admiration for Mr.. Bricker, but repre-
senting as he does all the isms of the
democratic party as at present pro-
mulgated, he is indeed poor republic
can that would cast his vote for him
When so many men are nominated and
elected to the legislature whose honor
does not seem TO be above tarnish, it is
a matter of congratulation to the voters
OF this district that the nominees on
both sides are men in whom we have
full confidence. Everyone acquainted
with John Mick knows he would sooner
cut off his right hand than knowingly
perform dishonest act. He is entitled
TO and will haye the united and solid
support of the republicans OF the dis
trict

Regarding the Republican candidate
OF Representative from this district,
the Saranac Advertiser says: John
Mick Of Campbell, is one OF the best
known Republicans OF the county, hav-
ing represented his township for many
years upon the board OF supervisors.
He is farmer, as we'll as first class
business man, and during the past two
years has held the responsible position
OF Deputy County Treasurer. He is a
man that every republican can give his
hearty support to, and no one can say
he represents any faction, for he comes
from town that has no faction, but
which, under all circumstances, can
be depended upon to pull the whole
ticket out OF the hole II necessary.

An esteemed contemporary, not an
organ for any party has this in a re-
cent issue: IAN exchange says in it's
editorial columns: The average
American, no matter what his politics
may be, is not likely to enthuse over
prospect OF turning the country into
an empire. AS there has been moth
ing in the course OF events to indicate
such an outcome possible, it is anus
ing in the extreme to note the long
and highly colored articles that APP
pear daily bearing on the empire
question. Probably not one man in 500
believes that we are tending in any
way toward such destination, yet
men will peruse such stuff, look wise
and predict calamitics that would
make timic person quake in his boots.
There is too much OF this thing going
on for the good OF the country. The
man who is busy at the work bench,
the desk or any other place has no
time for such things, and he never
bothers his head with lurid tales of
awful things to come. He is the good
citizen; his country, his town and his
home are his pride, and he is never
found willing TO put his shoulder to
the wheel and help push the world
along. Calamity wailing in times like
the present, while not very prevalent,
Is still found In sufficient quantity to
be disgusting"

Correspondence from Chauncey post
Office to the Grand Rap DIS Herald
states: Ola Terry who eloped with
Rev. Chas. f. Smith, Kent county
pastor, some time ago and recently re-
turned mentally unbalanced, has re-
gained her right mind. Referring to
the affair she says she was as much to
blame as Smith and that they had
talked OF going away together, but had
not decided on the day. She is an
xious to know If her folks and Smith 8
are on good terms and wants to know
where Smiths wife is and says she
thought great deal OF her. She says
she wrote letter and sent it to
Smith from Grand Rapids and also
says they are married and she only
came home on a visit. She expects to
return soon.
A good many people question the
truth Of her story and it is hoped the
real facts will soon come to light.

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION.

To the people Of the State of Michigan:
The news OF the terrible calamity
which has befallen the people OF Gal
weston, Texas, has by this time reach
ed the remotest parts OF Michigan.
The reports OF the number OF deaths
and the extent OF the restitution re-
sulting from the flood and storm are
as yet somewhat conflicting.
Probably the most reliable state
ment is that which comes from the
Mayor of Galveston, that the loss OF
life will exceed 5000 and that there
are $1,000 people homeless, in need of
shelter, food and clothing.
/ am sure that these fact need
only be stated to bring prompt and
generous response from the people of
Michigan. | earnestly hope that this
State, in proportion to its population
and wealth, will be second to none in
the size OF its contribution to the fund
for the relief OF the people OF Calves
ton.
Money orders, checks and currency
In amounts, no matter how small, may
be sent to Hon. Geo. A. Steel, Treas
urer OF the State of Mic. igan, Lansing,
Michigan, who will see that the funds
are forwarded to the proper authori-
ties for the aid of the sufferers.
In those cities where persons have
already been designated to receive
finds, it will facilitate matters to
hand ntributions to them. This call
is intended not only to urge all those
who have not done so to contribute,
but also to name someone to whom
people in smaller towns and in the
country, where arrangements have not
been made, may forward contributions.
Fortunately calamaties like this
have very seldom happened to the
people of our Republic. but when they
have, our duty to our fellow country
man has been promptly done. Let
the response in this case be liberal.

The semi-annual apportionment OF
primary school money to be made Nov.
6, will distribute 81, 17O,OOO among the
counties of the state at the rate OF
81 65 for each child of school age in the
respective counties. This is the larg.
est rate by nearly 81 per capita ever
known in the state, and will give
school finds substantial boost. Last
May the rate was SO cents per capita.
The increase is due partly to the in
creased earnings of railroads, insur-
ance and other corporations paying
specific taxes, which go to support pub.
lie schools, and partly to the collection
OF railroad taxes in July instead OF
January, as formerly.
