Editor John White, OF the Marsh
field News, takes exception to our
opposition to the reelection of Cong.
E. A. Morse of this district. John
has his reasons for taking exceptions
and that is his business, not ours.
We don't object to his support Of the
Congressman if he wants to vote and
support him, that's his business, not
ours. We are not trying to get Johns
support away from Morse because
John might want the Marshfield
post Office and Cong. Morse and his
friends may be planning to give him
the Marshfield office and that's their
business. John naturally, for this and
other reasons, would want to support
him. We admit that we lost out in the
post office contest John, and the
people of Grand Rapids with the aid
of the Congressman got man in oul
place and that is their business. We
are finding no fault with it. either.
Now John, we have learned the make
up of the present Congressman and
we know him to nicely, better than
we ever did before, aud we have come
to the conclusion that we will person
ally neither vote for him or support
him again, and that is our business
Others may do as they like until they
find him out as we have. There are
others John who think as we do.
Wait and see.

Mrs. J. B. Anderson of Epson and
her sister Mrs A. B. Gibbs Of Mellen.
Wis. were in this city the past week
renewing their acquaintance in Grand
Rapids, also looking after their
family lot in Forest Hill Cemetery.
They will both be remembered by the
old settlers as Gusta and Nina Ripley.
They left here over 20 years ago and
have only been back this is the second
time. They see many favorable
changes and were delighted to see the
city of their childhood forging ahead
to metropolitan proportions. Their
old home is now used by the Electric
s. Water Co., as an Office building ad-
joining the power plant on the west
side. Their eldest sister Mrs. George
Ripley-Shelden resides in Nebraska
and her family are all grown up to
womanhood and manhood. These
changes are all reminders of the
feeting away Of time. This office
acknowledges social call from the
ladies which was greatly enjoyed.

An Italian correspondent of THE

of concrete in boat building will
largely take the place of iron and
steel. He says: Large boats of
reinforced concrete have been built
already in this country, and five Of
these, of 100 tons and more, were on
commission for the Italian navy. The
first Of these boats, a 120-ton barge,
was built in 1906, on the plans Of
Mr.. Gabellini, an Italian who has
given his whole attention to rein
forced concrete, and who for many
years has been conducting expert
ments with this class of material
This boat, which was built with dou-
bic bottom and of the cellular type,
was submitted to sever tests in the
Spezia Arsenal, where d much larger
boat built of iron and with an iron
ram was directed against it without
producing any considerable damage to
il. After some time, and in conse-
quence of the satisfactory results
given by this first boat, four more
of these barges were ordered on ac-
count of the Italian navy"

A FRUITLESS NIGHT.

Chicago, June 1S.-A meeting of
prominent republicans, most but not
all of them. supporters of Taft. met
tonight at the rooms of Mr.. Hitch
cock. The meeting began at 10
o'clock. 1t had been the expecta-
ton that the conference would de-
eide upon an available candidate for
the vice presidential nomination, and
it was even anticipated by some that
the view of Taft as to his choice of
a companion on the ticket would be
made known. In both respects the
meeting was a disappointment. The
situation was represented to Taft by
wire, but at a late hour no definite
preference had been expressed by
him.
In the absence of a statement from
Taft the conference busted itself with
discussion of the situation and in
doing so the availability of many men
were discussed. The preponderance
of opinion seemed favorable to the
selection of some man from the Mis-
sissippi valley. Then the names of
DOlliver and Hughes were frequently
mentioned.
The meeting was made aware of
the action of the Iowa delegation in
deciding to withdraw the name of
Dolliver in case it was presented, and
it was the general view that such
action would have a demoralizing eff
feet upon the convention.
The kindly feeling of the admins
tration toward Cummins was conced-
ed. but some expressed the thought
that he would not be acceptable to
the convention. The names of Long
of Kansas and Warner of Missouri
were both suggested, but the gentle

men being present, promptly declined
to be considered as candidates.
1t was reported that Fairbanks
would have many friends on the con-
vention and the opinion was held by
some that all things considered he
would make the most acceptable
nominee that could be chosen.
The advancement of the boom of
Sherman was freely commented upon
and several expressed the opinion
that his nomination was highly prob
able, but there was no decision to
concentrate upon him.
At l o'clock this morning, Friday,
the vice presidential situation was
still in an unsettled condition.
The conference dwindled away to a
handful. At this hour it was authOra-
lively stated that while Shermans
candidacy had been favorably regarded
by many leaders during the early hours
of the meeting, representations were
made later which had a somewhat
dampening effect upon the prospects.
A number of prominent western repub-
licans cited the action of congress in
several matters of legislation which it
was argued would be used against him
in the campaign, and cause him to
weaken rather than strengthen the
ticket His nomination they urged,
would be construed in some quarters
as a contradiction of the progressive
professions of the platform adopted by
the convention.
4 number of other conferences of
state delegations and groups of dele
gates were held during the night, but
they were largely supplementary.

The reason a bride promises to

ton plank as finally adopted reads as
follows: THE republican party will
uphold at all times the authority and
integrity of the courts, state and fed
eral, and will ever insist that their
powers to enforce their processes to
protect life. liberty and property. be
preserved inviolate. We believe how
ever, the rules of procedure of the fed

ance Of the writ of injunction should
be more accurately defined By statute
and that no injunction or temporary
restraining order should be issued
without notice. except where irrepar-

THE PRESIDENT PLEASED.
On Receiving News Of the Nominal
ton He Congratulates the
Country.

Washington, June 1S.-Immediately
upon receiving news of the nomina
ton of Taft, President Roosevelt
be congratulated upon the nominal
ton of Taft. I've known him init
mately for many years and have pecu-
liar fleeing for him because throughout
we have worked for the same OBJ
ject with the same purposes and
ideas. l do not believe there could
be found in all the country a man
so well fitted for president. He is
not only absolutely fearless, interest
ed and upright, but has the widest
acquaintance with the nation and its
needs without and within and the
broadcast sympathies with all citizens.
He will be emphatically a president
of the plain people as much as was
Lincoln.
Yet not Lincoln himself was
freer from the least faint of denla-
goguery, the slightest tendency to
arouse by antagonism or to appeal to
class hatred of anykind. He has
peculiar intimate knowledge and SYM
pathy with the needs of all our peo-
pie, farmer wageworker, business
man and property owner. No matter
what the mans occupation, his social
position, creed or the section of the
whence he comes, if he is
honest, Woodworking man who tries
to do his duty toward his neighbor
and his country, he can rest assured
that he will have in William II. Taft
a most upright representative and a
most fearless champion. Taft stands
against privilege and pre-eminently
for the broad principles of American
which lie at the founda

longer a question of men, but a ques-
