FERRIS CHOSEN in MICHIGAN.
Grand Rapids correspondence:

Grand Rapids correspondence:
Woodbridge n. Ferris, of Big Rap
ids, was nOminaed for Governor by
the Democratic State convention
after one of the stormiest scS-
sions known in the history Of the
party IN Michigan. There was no trou-
bic III the other nominations, as given
above. The fight originated over the
candidacy of Justus S. Stearns, OF Lud-
ingtOn. former Republican, who
sought the nomination after bolting his
party because of its failure to adopt
primary reform resolutions in the last
State convention. For three hours be-
fore the nominating speeches were
made the chairman was unable at
times to maintain order, the Stearns
and anti-Stearns men parading the con-
yention hall, cheering and engaging in
war of words. The battle practically
was between the oid-time 'stalwarts,'
the supporters of National Committee
man d. J. Campau, and the Wayne
and Kent County leaders.
It had been generally conceded at
noon that Stearns would be nominated
for Governor, but Campau contended
that a Democrat should be placed at
the head of the ticket. An attempt
was made to secure an adjournment
shortly before the ballot for Governor
was taken, but 1t failed by narrow
margin. Before Wayne County, with
its 11O votes. the second last on the
roll. was reached on the ballot it was
apparent that even that number added
to Stearns' total could not nominate
him. After the nomination for Gov
ernor the convention at o'clock took
recess until p. m.
At the evening session the ticket
was completed and platform was
Adopted.
The platform indorses the platform
and candidates Of the national conven-
ton recently held Mt st. Louis. 1t ia
vors the nomination of all candidates
for office by direct vote Of the people;
1t recommends a constitutional amend
ment for the election of State Railroad
and State Tax Commissioners by a d.
rect vote of the people; 1t also fayors
the election of United States Senators
by popular vote and the adoption Of
legislation or constitutional amend
ment to regulate compensation for
transportation of freight and passen-
gers on electric and steam railroads;
also to give city and township authori-
hes power to fix maximum charges for
street car service. gas, electric lights
and other public utilities.

RYDALE'S TONIC
a REAL CURE FOR
MALARIA

1t has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria. breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine,
Iron, etc. stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood. but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels. freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. 1t also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. II drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.
RYDALE'S TONIC is a blood
builder. a nerve restorer, and = Ma aria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap-
point you.
