WHAT OTHERS THINK OFT.

NoTE the difference. The Democrats
of the state of Wisconsin are decidedly
opposed to primary | reform. while the
Michigan Democracy is pushing the re-
form first and the state ticket is given
but secondary consideration. At the
Wisconsin Democratic convention held
last week the platform adopted opposes
the primary election law passed by the
last legislature, declaring it undemocratic
because it destroys the right of men TO
assemble to consider men as candidates
and principles for platforms, and pledges
the party to oppose any law providing for
direct nominations; the features of the
isT providing for the expenses OF pri-
msries and for the abolition of conven-
tions are particularly condemned.
The party proposes to make the fight
of ii life against primary reform and is
confident that the sentiment OF the ma
jority of the people of the state is against
it. Michigan Democrats declared unquali-
iedly for it without experience as a guide
Taking the experience in Minnesota,
a state that has tried it, and the people
of Michigan may well go slow before
committing themselves to a system that
is proving unsatisfactory in other states.

WHEAT ON THE BOOM.
Gratiot County Farmers are Giving This
Cereal Unusual Attention.

Six years ago the far. ners OF Gratiot
county raised a large crop Of wheat, but
since that time they have been grad ually
turning their attention to other crops.
and the result has been that this year,
with the cereal selling at the highest
price il has reached in many years, finds
the farmers with none TO sell.
All indications point to wheat re-
naming at its present price. or even
higher, for some time TO come, and the
result Is that more wheat 10 being sown
this fall than for many years and many
farmers find themselves without the
necessary seed. and have been forced 30
pay the high price OF $l.25 per bushel to
their more fortunate neighbors for it,
The Alma Roller Mills have secured a
choice lot OF seed wheat, which they are
OF TO the farmers at $l.l0 per
bushel.
A large acreage OF rye is also being
taken this fall, and the brightest outlook
the farmer has had for many years is
before him.
