legislation affecting the people comes

legislation affecting the people comes
up.
MANY people did not vote for Gov
ernor Warner four years ago." he
said. "Some of them thought thai
the power would not be on the throne
but behind the throne that he would
not be governor, but a certain coterie
of politicians would dictate his poll
cies. Well, he has been governor
twenty-four hours of every day, 365
days out of every year, and those
who thought he wouldn't be governor
are disappointed. Some of his bitter
est opponents are those who thought
they could dictate the policies of the
administration.
81 have told him many times that
if he gets the votes of those who
thought he would make good COVER
nor and whose judgment was vindi-
Gated; and those who thought he
wouldn't be good governor, and are
now convinced he is, that he. can do
without the votes of that third class
that wanted to run things"
Mr.. Kelley ridiculed third-term OPP
position, declaring that in the early
days of the country when we had just
escaped from the clutches of a mon
/ archy, it was wise provision that a
president only had two terms, but no
reason existed for such restriction in
the gubernatorial place. He pointed
out that mayors, congressman, sem
ators and many other kinds of Of
ficials are repeatedly returned for
three or more terms.
"The governor is an old-fashion-
ed man, in some respects" he said.
'He believes that when you send a
man to Lansing to the house or the
senate, he is there to represent you,
and not there to identify himself with
interests hostile to you. He believes
that any officer who is recreant to his
political trust is just as open to
criticism as a man faithless in bust
ness. 1t is your duty to see that
you have faithful and honest repre-
sentation at Lansing"
Mr.. Kelley made several other
strong points, and closed by declaring
that if Gov. Warner were not return
ed to Lansing, the corporate inter-
ests would feel that it's fight had been
won, and as a result future governors
would not feel inclined, because of
this lack of support, from carrying
on his fight.

we do; they are necessity, but they
can be had just as well and little
better under the full primary election
plan than they can under the system
that we now have.
First elect in every representative
district five committeeman, elect five
in every state senatorial district, five
in every congressional district and FIVE
in the state at large. The man who
gets the most votes shall be the chair
man OF each committee, then the chair
men are elected by the people. The
one that gets the most votes of the
five at large in the state is chairman
of the state central committee. so the
people have elected their own chair
man. Why shouldn't they?
"As committeeman, each committee
act as may be required; for instance,
should candidate for representative
die after he had been nominated, the
committee will supply name and
each committee do the same in each
case.
''The state central committee shall
be composed of the five elected at large
and the two in each congressional dis
trict that gets the most votes.
Further these committeeman in
every case shall compose the conven-
tion delegates to meet in convention
once in two years at such place as the
state central committee may designate
and make the party platforms for their
respective parties and any other legi-
innate business that may come before
them to do.

Policeman Harmon of the Coney

in the bud the other day, and by the
application of little common sense

OF Seaside park, but the dog itself
from anything worse than an uncom-

brindle bull belonging to Mrs. Garrett
Smith of Quincy street, Brooklyn, and
when 1t began to act queerly ON the
beach a scare seemed imminent
Harmon saw the dog and got to it
just about the time that the animal
collapsed. He picked 1t up in his arms
and started on the run for the Coney
island station.
Heat prostration Nothing worse"
was his diagnosis when Mrs. Smith
begged to be told the trouble with her
pet.
In the station Harmon carried the
dog into Capt Kelley's room, and
Lieut.. Nedwell turned on the cold
water in the captains bathtub When
the tub was full they dropped the dog
into it. In few minutes 1t regained
Its senses, and in is minutes it waa

plants produce the pollen and honey
substances. White clover is the first
plant to bloom in the early spring.
and it produces the whitest and purest
honey. This plant should be on every
farm, as it not only feeds bees, but
1t is enjoyed by all kinds Of stock.
We also recommend the sowing Of
Japanese buckwheat as a feed for bees
in making honey. 1t is crop that
should be found on most Of the farms
in the south. Seed should be sown
in July and 1t produces from thirty to
forty bushels of grain per acre. It
blooms for long period, and after the
bees have filed their homes with de-
licious honey the buckwheat can be
ground on a common water mill,
bolted and make first class cakes for
the family. Get out of your ruts and
