Mr.. Bryan's Platform.

story comes out of Washington to
the effect that Mr. VIM j. Bryan is
soon to write a series of articles, IN
which he Will put himself on record
upon what the Democratic platform of
1908 should be. 1t is understood, saws
the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, that Mr. Bryan in these
haps startling theories OF government
Those OF his friends who take execution
to his plans contend that the political
effect upon himself and his party can
only be harmful. They argue that If
Mr.. Bryan takes extreme ground, to
which his party may not follow him,
manifestly he will be in danger of elimi-
mating himself as factor in the next
Democratic National Convention, while
II, on the other hand, there Is anything
of real political value in his new theories
he will, by such premature publication,
simply give the Republicans an oppor-
tunity to steal the desirable features OF
his platform, as he claims they have
done in the past.
1t may not be good politics for Mr..
Bryan to take the public into his conf
dence thus early in the game, but 1t
would be quite becoming in him to do so.
He has already announced that he is
candidate for the Democratic nomination,
and many say that his nomination is
foregone co ion. Therefore, it seems
to us that would be a public service
for Mr.. Bryan to proclaim his platform
as early as possible, and let the Demo-
cratic masses know where he stands.
And he is just the man to do 1t. He is
never afraid to speak his mind.

PLAN FAVORED
Training School Committee
Favored Plans Drawn by W. E.
Elliot { Son, of St. Paul, MINI.

The committee having i'm charge the
letting of the contract, plans etc. for
the Wood County Training School held
another session Wednesday Jan. and
transacted a great deal of preliminary
work. Several architects plans were
examined, making in all eight or nine,
and the one meeting with the greatest
favor, were those submitted by VIM
E. Elliot & Son, of St. Paul.
The committee have gone over this
matter very carefully and thoroughly
and it was the unanimous agreement,
that if the building designed by this
firm of architects could be built with
in the appropriation, that the building
would be far the best Many of the
plans were excellent, but this one con-
tains the things wherein the commit
tee believed the greatest good would
result.
Mr.. Elliot was instructed to submit
his specifications, so that bids might
be called for, and if it is found that
the building designed by this firm can
be built for the price desired, the
plans will be accepted.

PLEASED WITH TREATMENT
Farm mers Unanimously Declare
in Favor of Returning to Grand
Rapids.

The most gratifying incident of the
state convention of the American
Society of Equity, of Wisconsin,
which closed Thursday, was the en-
thusiastic manner in which it passed
the resolutions of thanks to the city
and its people, for the hearty welcome
extended them while guests. The re-
solution was dictated to the stenog-
rapher, before the whole house. and
adopted mid deafening applause.
This satisfaction at the manner in
which they were entertained was
manifest in another way also. Ex-
mayor L. NJ. Nash appeared in the
hall in the afternoon, and extended
an invitation on the part of the city
and its citizens to renew their visit
next year: or if they saw fit, make
this city their permanent convention
city. The invitation was met with
applause, and later in the afternoon,
the chairman on behalf of the direc-
tors, who have the designation of the
convention city, asked the delegates
what city they would prefer to meet
in ne It year, and the response came
as one man, Grand Rapids. This is a
compliment to the city well ap-
preciated by every business man and
citizen.
