Secretary Baker.

Lansing, Mich. Nov. 17.-At Fridays
meeting of the state board of health
the members discussed the matter of

COURTS MUST DECIDE
Who Was Elected Judge of Probate oi
LeeIanaw County.

Sutton's Bay, Mich, Nov. 20.-Leela
nav had but one Republican county
convention, at which time the county
officers were nominated Some of the

this snap convention" and called q
citizens convention, which united
with the Democrats in nominating
Steiner Garthe, Republican, for Judge
of probate; Alfred A. Sessions, Repub
lican, for prosecuting attorney, and
Marvin LaCore. Democrat. for sheriff.
The citizens ticket was defeated by
the regular Republican ticket, except
in the case of judge of probate.
Garthe received, according to the Off
cial count, 2S majority over James E.
Campbell, the Republican nominee.
Campbell has filed a petition for a
recount in seven townships. The
grounds on which Campbell alleges ir.
regularities are that the Democratic
ticket had no candidates for county
officers, and the citizens ticket had
only candidates for three Offices, and
that many Democrats voted these two
tickets by marking in the circle at the
head of each, which votes were count.
ed for the Democratic state and ma.
tional candidates.
Both men have secured .4e best le.
gal talent in the district, and there
will be considerable litigation, as
Campbell will contest the legality OF
Garthe's nomination if he fails to
count him out. 1t is also claimed that
the ballots sent out by the county
clerk to some of the townships cannot
be accounted for.

A Sound Suggestion.

The following from correspon-
dent of the Hawthorne Bulletin is
full of sound sense. If his sugges-
tions were carried out, it might be a
little hard on onr statemen, but
would be beneficial to the people at
large.
Now that we have an election and
a new Legislature, | want the voters
to demand OF the candidates for the
Assembly that under no circum-
stances, no matter how pressing will
they introduce or vote for bill to
alter or amend the game or mining
laws and if any of them shall violate
the pledge they should hang the
aforesaid.legislature to any tree high
enough above the ground to keep
his entire body off the earth. l con
sldsr this a necessary measure of
protection. For the last $50 years
every representative who wanted to
get reputation and his name in the
papers ha, introduced bill of that
kind and it is time that the
the fish, sagehen and miners were
let alone They can protect them
selves under the ancient law of sur
yival of the fittest Dispatch.
