CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE

REED CITY, Feb. IL, 'o6.-The Repub-
lican Congressional committee for the
eleventh district met at the A'Llego club
rooms III this city today for the purpose
of unifying movement in the district in
favor of applying the new primary cleo
ton law to the nomination of congress
man. The representation was as follows:
Antrim, c. L. Bailey; Charlevoix, J. NJ.
Harris; Clare, S. c. Kirkbride; Grand
Traverse, w. w. Smith; Gratiot, J. n.
Mccall; Mecosta, A. B. Cogger; Mont
calm, c. ID. Young; Osceola, Rem Barker.
Communications received from the four
counties not represented showed the same
general sentiment, as expressed by those
present, which was finally crystalized in
the unanimous adoption of the following
resolutions:
Whereas, The Republican party of
Michigan has fulfilled its platform pledges
by enacting law whereby the people of
the district may vote directly on the NOM
ination of congressman, and il is the sense
of this committee that the Republican
voters of the district should have an OPP
portunity to express themselves as to
their choice of nominating candidate
for congress by the primary or convention
system, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we recommend the en-
enlargement of party enrolment of the
Republican voters at the spring election
and the circulation of petitions for the
submission to the Republican voters, the
adoption of the primary system of nom
mating our candidate for congress.
The meeting of the committee was
called at the instance of Congressman
Darragh who favors giving the Republi.
can voters of the district chance to ex,
press themselves OH the question.

SUBSCRIBERS ATTENTION.
IL you Want Your Paper stopped Pay M
To-Date.

The following so thoroughly explains
the reason why the proprietor of a
county newspaper does not stop the
paper at the expiration of subscrip-
ton that it is taken bodily from the
Cooperville Observer and reproduced
with only the change of name. Follow
ing is the article:
''Some newspaper subscribers often
wonder, no doubt why publisher will
keep sending the paper when the sub
scription has expired. The reason is
this: When the subscription is paid
TO certain time, the time expires and
the paper is stopped, il looks as if the
publisher doubted the integrity of the
subscriber; and nine times out of ten
the subscriber will give the newspaper
man a calling down for insinuating that
his credit is no good. Rather than cast
any reflection against a neighbours
honesty 10 pay a small debt it has be-
come necessary for the country news
paper to continue sending the paper
after the time has expired. The city
weeklies and dailies do not generally
follow this rule as their subscribers live
at distance, and besides they are not
acquainted with them and do not know
their financial standing. One should
deem il an honor to know that their
credit is not doubted when the publisher
continues TO send the paper"
Should our subscribers desire to have
the paper discontinued they should
inform the office and remit to date, if
any is owing.
If there is any one now receiving this
paper who does not desire it, and the
date to which it is paid has expired,
simply figure what is due us, enclose
the amount in an envelope and state
plainly that you wish the paper discon-
tinued. IL is 40 offense TO receive a
business like communication. This
paper is not forced ON any one, anymore
than dry goods man would force one
To accept yard of calico every week.
We believe the paper worth two cents
a week TO any intelligent citizen of this
community, and also it is the biggest
two cents worth that can be had in any
one package. no matter what you buy.

Arrangements have already been COM
pleted through which the nomination of
Republican congressman in three dis
trio s, the second, the third and the elev-
enth. will be made through use of the
primary election plan, and in two or three
other districts the matter of making use
of the primary method is being discussed
and will probably be adopted. Nomina-
ton by direct vote is already provided
for in the first district which applies only
to that district. The charge so freely
made by Michigan Democrats, that Re-
publican use of the new method of max
ing nominations would lack in sincerity
and earnest effort, is already fully dis
proven and disposed of.
