ALL FOR SHELDON
A Solid Delegation Was Elected For
Him
AZ the city Caucuses Monday Even
ing-E. E. Fales Also Endors-
ed For Sheriff.

The republican caucuses held in the
several wards of the city Monday eye-
ming we're we'll attended and very har-
monious.
The County convention which is
called to be held August 18th in Ionia
will name the county officers and also
elect 19 delegates to attend the State
Judicial Convention to be held in
Saginaw next month.
The only contests probable in the
county convention will be on repre-
sentative and prosecuting attorney.
Belding hopes and expects to see her
favorite sons, Elmer +. Falts renomi-
mated for sheriff and Dwight G. Shell
don for prosecuting attorney, there is
no question as to the former being
re-nominated because it is right and
just to give a tried and true official a
second term. Sheldon ought to be
nominated for prosecuting attorney
because he is qualified to do the busi-
ness as il should be done and there is
no argument that can be brought
against giving him the place that con-
tains particle of weight.
The following resolution was adopt
ed on the election OF delegates in the
several wards:
Whereas, Elmer E. Fales and
Dwight G.. Sheldon, two of Belongs
highly esteemed citizens, are candi-
dates for the Republican nominations
for sheriff and prosecuting attorney,
which nominations are to be made by
the county convention to which dele
gates have just been elected, there
fore be it,
Resolved, That the delegates from
the City of Belding be instructed to
vote for them in this convention, and
to use all honorable means to secure
their nomination.
First Ward-Chas. ]. Seely, E. f.
Hudson, Robt. PEBBLES, L. F. Smith,
Ellis Ranney, E. Tooley.
Second Ward-B. f. Hall, M. A.
Reed, J. T. Angel, Geo w. Moulton,
G. L. Staley, George Crawford.
Third Ward-F. A. Washburn, w,
A. Wilder, E. B. Lapham, G. M. Wise,
II. L. Page, J. d. Morse.

1onia and Fred Pitt of Orleans on
permanent organization and order of
business.
The Credentials committee report
ed full list OF. delegates prexent from
the two counties comprising the dis
trict and the temporary officers were
made permanent.
Judge F. ID. M. Davis placed in
nomination Walter Yeomans of Ionia
and in his speech referred to the bril-
liant record of the republican party
in the past and the excellent nomina-
tions which the national convention
made in giving us again that peerless
leader, Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.. Yeoman's nomination was Sc
conded by Bryant E. Avery of Green
vile in behalf of the entire delega-
tion from Montcalm county,
There being no other name present
ed, on motion the secretary was in
structed to cast the entire vote of the
convention for Mr.. Yeomans.
J. X. Train of Montcalm and Judge
+. ID. M. Dayis were appointed to
notify the candidate of his nomna-
tion and present him before the con-
vention. On his appearance he was
loudly applauded and when introduced
as the next Senator, he thanked the
delegates and assured them that they
would have no cause to regret their
action. He said he wanted to see the
entire National and State ticket elec
ted this fall. On the question oi
primary reform he stood in favor of II
and hoped and expected the Legisla
ture this winter would enact law re
garding it which would be satisfactory
TO the people As for the state ta1
commission he said he had no use fol-
1t whatever, that it did not accom-
plish the equalization of taxes and
hoped to see the act repealed.
Mr. Yeomans is a man of action mo-
words and will undoubtedly make one
of the best Senators the 18th Distric
has ever had to represent 1t. L. F
Cutcheon, Bryant K. Avery and G. L
Meach were elected as the Senatorial
committee.

The BOYS In BROWN.
Nicely Located at Camp BoyntOn Near
Ludingt0n.
A Number From This city Visited
There Sunday To See The Boys In
Camp-Big Crowd Present.

Quite number of the residents of
Belding and vicinity arose at an early
hour last Sunday morning to pay a
visit to the annual state encampment
of Michigan's Boys in Brown who are
nicely located at Camp Boynton near
Ludington on Lake Michigan.
The trip to camp was a long and
tedious one, but the sight of the sol.
dier boys in their realistic camp life
was we'll worth the weariness of the
trip. 1t is claimed that there we're
about $4,000 people from all parts of
| the state were in attendance at Camp
Boynton Sunday, although this num-
Der was probably somewhat exagerat-
ed. Ludington, however, never saw
as many people within her gates as
thronged her streets that day.
In the morning religious services
were held by both Protestant and
Catholic Chaplains, Chaplain Kelly
of the 2nd Regiment holding services
| for the Catholics and Chaplains
Hanks and White conducting the
protestant service. The music for
the Catholic service was furnished by
the First Regiment band, while the
Third Regiment oand and the Second
Battalion band of Jackson furnished
the music for the protestant service.
Both of these meetings were well
attended, the governor and his staff
being among those present.
The camp ground ls not as nice as
that at Island Lake but the atmos-
phere is superb and there is but very
little sickness in the camp this year.
Sunday afternoon was the day set for
the regular dress parade and it was a
| beautiful sight to witness nearly 5000
men in line, out for inspection by the
governor and his staff. The various
movements of the large body of sold
iers we're carefully watched by the
| large crowd in attendance and were
greeted by hearty rounds of applause.
During the dress parade all of the
bands combined headed the troops in
one monster band of about 100 pieces
| The uniforms worn this season are of
the Kahki brown, the kind worn dur
ing the Spanish-American war and
for this reason the soldiers are known
as the "Boys in Brown" instead of the
"Boys in Blue. :"

YEOMANSNOMINATED
The State Senator Has Reen
Named.
Republican Delegates of 18th Sena
toriaI District Did Their Duty
Here Last Friday.

The Montcalm and Ionia County
Senatorial delegates of the 18th Dis
trict met in convention in this city

KILLING STRAY DOGS
Marshal Mitchell is Busy Taking the
Dog Census-Three Killed Last
Tuesday Morning.

City Marshal Mitchell has been
quite busy of late taking the census
OF the dog population in Belding, and
as result of his investigation has
discovered quite a few members of
the canine race who had no owners or
even a nearby friend who stood ready
to cough up the necessary dollar in
order that the poor beasts might be
given a lease of life for at least an
other year.
Last week, six of them we're found,
and on Tuesday morning three more
who bore the stigma of being "no-
body's dog were loaded into the city
wagon and taken to the dump pile at
the edge of the city and shot. If any
of our readers in the city have a dog
on which they have not yet seen the
marshal and paid the license and Sc.
cured tag, they had better be hunt
ing him up, as Mr.. Mitchell says he is
going to kill every unlicensed dog as
fast as he can get hold of them.

Suicide Prevented.

The startling announcement that a
preventive OF suicide had been discov.

found that will prevent that condition
which makes suicide likely. At the

DEFENSE COMPLETE BUT NOT
 NECESSARY

The defense of Gov. SwinetOrd against the eontemptible insiuustiOuS ot few tory papers that his recognition of the upfituess of Gov Brady to be governor O, Alaska is due to envy because he IS not the governor of the district himself, while complete, was entirely UuneceS- sary. All the tory papers in Alaska have not sufficient influence Co mar the reputation of the venerable eN-goveT- nor. who first called the attention of the world to the wealth ot this district, and who did more in the few brief wears of his iucumbeucy, away back in the sos, for AlaSka's welfare than the present governor could do in a long lifetime.
 The attacks on Gov. SwinetOrd by these small brained yaps recalls an 'n- cident in the congress Ot the United States in the '7Os. Samuel Jackson Randall was speaker of the house and James A. Garfield, leader of the repuo- lican minority. A newspaper cores pondeut, inspired by a bitterly Taruzan member of congress who thought he had a grievance, gave his paper an ar ticle in which the integrity and good faith ot the speaker was attacked. The article created a sensation and after it's appearance Mir. Randall calledamemher 10 the chair and asked consent, as A matter of privilege, to address the house. To the aStoOishmeut of every body on the floor and in the galleries, Mir. Garfield objected, In stating his objections, the man who was destined within a few short years 10 become president and meet gic death at the hands of an assassin, said that it was known Co all the members the sH1- feet upon whish the speaker was Co ao- dress himself, and it would be an tu- suit to the high esteem in which the crea, man was held by his fellow mem hers on both sides ot the chamber and DN IS country lEA AtNAA NAh" -Nr's-''r'N w the Pacific to permit him to explain away a scurriIOus attack the td,Sity ut which was proved by ,he nobility ot the character attacked. Garfield fol- lowed his objection with one Of those speeches which he was so able Co maNe in which he paid a tribute Go the leader of the opposing party that takes high rank among the best specimens of con- gressional elOQuence. The incident went 10 further. Speaker Randall never explained. The newspaper man who sprung the story lost his position and his inspiration" was.retired by an outraged constituency at the next cleo tiOu,
 Gov. Swiuetord, who resigned the goveruorship more than year before the expiration of his term of office, re- guires no defense from the malicious attacks Of tho tories against his good faith.

DEFENDS HIS BILL
Cooper of Wisconsin Says 1t Is No
Attack on Railroads..

Representative Cooper of Wisconsin
says that his bill to confer additional
power as to the regulation of rates
upon the interstate commerce COM
mission is not an attack on the rail-
roads. He says
The bill cannot be justly so construed
No sensible man has any sympathy with
professional agitators who denounce rail-
roads and railroad managers, but it is
undeniable that shippers are often grossly
wronged thru railroad practices for which
day there is no remedy. Railroad tar
ifs are essentially a tax upon shippers
which they must pay. The levying of
this tax is in private hands and for the
purpose Of securing dividends No won
der, therefore, If without regulation, the
taxing power is guilty of some abuse.
There is no danger whatever Of wrong
being done to railroad corporations if the

bill should become a law. [

bill should become law. Under a de.
cision of the United States supreme court
a railroad must be permitted to charge
such rates as will yield it an income to
pay it's debts, maintain it's equipment,
provide betterments and pay reasonable
dividends. This rule of law would, of
course, be taken into consideration by
the commission in every case brought be
fore it. The railroad business is a mo-
nopoly Of transportation, and moreover, a
monopoly which the shippers of the coun-
try are compelled to use. AS such a
monopoly the railroad business has power
to levy a tax upon every other business
Ought this power to be unregulated? In
my Judgment this constitutes one Of the
supreme questions before the American
people.

both home and distant, and is an inno-
svation over former methods of. signal
ing. In speaking Of. the new system
a western railroad man said:
This experience may afford no nstruc-
tive information,' for trains are not likely
to get into trouble, even if a yellow light
is mistaken for a red one. Two elements
combine to produce this situations In
the first place, an engineman with a good
headlight can at ordinary speed in fair
weather seesthe signal blade before it is
necessary to come to a, full stop, or even,
in many Instances, to shut off steam, and
SO will not be wholly dependent on the
colored light Then again, the red light
will never give a doubtful indication and
therefore the doubts, If any, win be on the
side Of safety.
