MOVEMENT GROWS
MORE-DAYLIGHT CLUB WILL LAY
ITS CASE BEFORE COUNCIL
NEXT MONTH.

Although the More-Daylight club
will not go to the council until some
time in February, IL is already pre-
pared to make a vigorous fight for
consideration Of the subject Of east
ern standard time. The movers In
the plan are convinced that considera-
ton will be enough to insure the
passage Of their measure.
Since the last meeting of the More
Daylight club, several. weeks ago, the
membership has grown by more than
1900. One set OF signatures that
came from the Packard automobile
works. alone contained 500 names.
During the holidays there was no es-
pecial effort made to rush the cam
paign for a change In time. ~
Officers OF the club have learned
that railroad leaders In New York
have considered the ACCESSIBILITY OF
extending eastern standard time 10
some point near Chicago. Action In
Detroit would facilitate the bringing
about OF such a change by the roads.
President George l.. Remand has re-
cesved many comments from the state
rrcss strongly commencing the move
ment for eastern standard time.

SMALL CONVENTION
FOR REPUBLICANS
SUGGESTED
SECRETARY SOUNDS COMMITTEE
MEMBERS ON PROPOSAL TO
CUT DOWN THE NUMBER OF
DELEGATES.

When the members OF the Republi-
can state central committee meet in
Grand Rapids. Feb. IL. they Will con-
slider three different plans for the next
state convention. Secretary Dennis
Award has sent the various members
letter In which he outlines these
plans and asks them TO be thinking
them over In the meantime.
For many years 1t has been the Gus
tom to allow one delegate to each
county for every 500 votes cast for
governor In the previous election
Steadily the conventions have grown
larger until the number runs up to-
ward LOO OF 1900. Award submits
plans based on two larger sums, one
OF which would make moderately
sized convention, and the other small
one.
The members from the big counties,
Wayne and Kent, will have two con-
fiicting points OF view. With small
convention, the smaller counties get
more than their due power in the gath
ering, for Ontonagon and Altoona are
going TO get a delegate each anyway,
even il no one votes but three lum-
bershovefs and a Swede. On the 9TH
er hand, If large convention is held,
1t is almost impossible to get $50 To
200 men to go from Detroit to Grand
Rapids or Jackson for day and half
or two days, or to get full delegation
from Grand Rapids TO come here.
1t is probable that the large conven-
ton will be decided for, as the me-
diminished counties have the majority
OF votes and in such counties as Mont
calm, Barry. Isabella and Tuscoia
there are always more patriots who
want to go to the convention than
there are places to be filled.
