to report, Judge Kendrick of Saginaw,
member of the state board of pardons,
who was present, was called to the plat

The following resolution was offered
by the committee and unanimously
adopted:
1--WE favor general primary election
law that will enable every municipal and
political district in the state to decide for
itself the method by which it shall nom
mate its candidates for public Office and
delegates to state conventions
1--WE favor the retention of the state
for the purpose of nominal
ing state officers, believing that the best
interests of the state and the republican
party will be subserved thereby.
''This is the resolution on primary
elections passed at the last state conven-
ton. We most heartily endorse it,
1--WE are opposed to the use of money
IN obtaining nominations and Geol that it
s the part of wisdom to move slowly in
a method of nominating which
N large constituencies would facilitate
the undue use of money to secure the
control of conventions and nomination
,f candidates for Office"
