The State Convention.

The Republican State Convention at
Detroit last week nom mated Fred M.
Warner, for governor Dy acclamatiOn.
The rest of the ticket is given on
page four.
The convention adopted the follow
ing platform after defeating the
minority report of William Alden
Smith, of the committee on resO-
lutions;
"As representatives OF the Repub-
iican party Of Michigan, in conven-
tion assembled this 30th day Of Juue,
1904, we take special pride, at this
time, in recalling the worthy deeds of
our party's half century OF existence,
and in the further fact that thu great
organization first formed "under the
oaks at Jackson" July 6, 1854, has
been victorious in Michigan In every
national contest from John c. Frem-
ont to William Mckinley, and we will
add one more bright page to Mich
igan history Of the Republican party
through as memorable victory In the
campaign before us as ever We have
done In the past, for our fearless
leader and typical Republican, The
Odore Roosevelt.
I'VE gladly indorse the action of the
national Republican convention at
Chicago, accepting its declaration of
party faith aud party purpose ds
expressive Of the principles to which
we have gwen cordial support in the
past, and pledge unwavering loyalty
for the future. In the candidates of
thats convention, Roosevelt and
Fairbanks, we recognize men who are
not only worthy to represent our party
as its honored leaders, but men who,
IN all the great duties before them,
wi i'be equal to national demands and
fully prepared for even the greatest
emergencies which the onward move
ments Of a great nation may invoke
and create.
"We are pleased again to commend
our senators and Republican repre-.
sentatives in congress from this state
for their united and Jealous advance
ment of the principles and policies OF
the Republican party. and again de-
sire to approvingly refer TO our
present state officers and state admin
istratiOn for the conservative and
judicious conduct of state affairs
which has been maintained, and
particularly for the determined
efforts which have hecn made and are
being made to secure that measure of
equal taxation, which includes with
in its re luirenents the most powerful
corporation. as well as the humblest
individuals.
1--WE believe that the selection OF
candidates for public office should
be protected from improper control
and taint OF corruption, and should be
so conducted as the judgment and will
of the people in their respective count
les and election districts may demand
and direct. NTo that end, we reat1irm
the action Of the Republican state
convention at Grand Rapids, May 10,
1904, in favor of primary reform.
where changes from the existing
caucus and convention system are
desired.
1--WE further believe it wise and
desirable that all cauCuses and pri-
marIes relating to the selection OF
delegates to state conventions should
be held upon the same day. And re.
commend to the incoming Legislature
the adoption Of such law. with
proper details for its satisfactory
enforcement"

of entertaining some 300 or 400 of the

We Celebrated.
Had a Good Crowd and
Good Sports.

Mr.. Jupiter Pluvius took a hand in
the Fourth Of July celebration here
early in the morning and had things
his own way till after dinner when
Old Sol dug hole through the clouds
and after that things went as planned.
A crowd of several thousands were
here aud, in spite OF rain and mud,
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the day
with our townspeople.
The civic parade scheduled for ten
O'Clock a. M, had to be dispensed
with and the East Jordan Military
Band took refuge on the Lakeside
veranda where they rendered several
selections. A smali-sized parade,
consisting Of our Firemen, nicely
decorated float of the Argo Mills, aud
the Calithumpians, made their ap-
pearance, but soon took TO cover.
And in spite of John KennY's cheer
ful assurance that we'd have a "Ball
game right after the rain" it looked
dubious.
After dinner, Marshal Of the Day
l.. G.. Madison an nounced the ball
game between Harbor Springs and
our boys. The game resulted in a
score OF to ia favor of East Jordan,
and while 1t was too much one sided
game to be exciting, the absence of
! anything but pleasant rivalry
eamong the boys, made it interesting
Joe Maddox made good umpire.

inches apart, but common paint

his life, the handle bars breaking just
as he neared the ground. Grant
received several bruises but luckily
escaped with no broken bones.
The contests were close and resulted
as follows: Walking creased pole,
George Jepson, Jr. Tub race, Ben
Weikel first, VIM. Ivory, second.
Sack race, Harry Simmons first, Guy
4 Pearl second, Boys running race,
Lawrence MunrOe first, Guy Pearl
second, Lee Gilbert third. Lawrence

In the evening the East Jordan

cert. The boys are showing wonderful
progress in both concert work and
drilling. After the concert, he Elk
Rapids Dramatic Club presented

House. to good-szed audience.
Numerous dances took up the
attention Of those devoted to that
pastime.
The PetOskey Cornet Band did not
materialize .as agreed upon. They
made square deal over the telephone
with the managers Of our celebration
and whatever their excuse may be
they had no right to forfeit their dea
here. 1t was too late for contract
aud theirfword should have beer

When the American farmer pays
one-third more for farm machinery,
barbod wire, nails, binding Irvine and
a good many other things that he
buys than the same products are sold
for to the farmer IN Europe, he dis
covers that high trust prices have
their drawbacks as well as their ad-
vautagcs. AS long as high prices
were confined to wheat, cotton and
corn, the farmer had the best OK it.
but now the trusts have forced up
the cost OF living. which includes near
~ everything the farmer does not pro-
duce. the profit made off the farm 70
less than when prices, all around,
we're much lower The quality Of
clothing is not nearly so good as Il
was some years ago. the "al wool
and n yard wide cloth Is a thing Of
the past; it IS now nearly all cotton
and 30 inches wide. as anyone can dis
cover by measuring IL and plckIng
even what Us called fine goods to
pieces and closely examining it. Tho
high protective duty ON wool has led
The manufacturer to initiate wool with
cotton. 30 that only an expert can dis
cover tho difference. This wonderful
apparent transformation OF cotton is
called the merccrizing process. and
The combine that IS producing it is
realizing vast profits There Us no
protective duty on cotton, 30 the dif-
ference in price between cotton and
wool i wide apart, tho FIRST named
being worth eleven cents pound. and
wool about twenty-five cents Thus,
although Che protective tariff on wool
Is the highest on record, II cents q
pound on unsecured and ~ cents on
secured. since 1897, the price OF wool
has been much lower than under any
other high tariff Yet the farmers
have not made money on their sheep,
TO Judge by the great decrease in the
number raised. reported by the Agri.
cultural Department The enormous
duty ON wool has induced the manu-.
IN 1rcrs to- find a substitute. The mor.
cc.tzcd cotton and shoddy Tho shod-
dy mills OF Cleveland and elsewhere
were never more prosperous than IN
de- tho present tariff So the farmers
have been selling their wool 40 q low

These arc some of the beauties oil
