CAMPAU FIGHT UP
To SMALLER
C0UN TIES
THEY'LL DECIDE WHICH DELE.
CATION FROM WAYNE SHALL
BE SEATED IN STATE cONVEN.
TloN-KENT SPLIT, TOO.

1t is new up 10 the smaller counties
j. Campau or Judge Connolly shall
rule the Democracy The Detroit
judge has risen in the political scale
! through the contest he has been wag-
ing this spring, and, If he should be
victorious In the state convention, he
will be one OF the most influential
Democrats in the state. Campau fig
ures he'll win at the state convention
and seat his delegation.
There being two delegations TO the
state convention, Campau and anti
Campau, II is up to the other counties
10 determine which is the real dele
cation The Campau men claim that
they now have more than enough
votes pledged TO seat them. The
''antis deny this.
Kent county also has two delega-
lions and this leaves the result en-
tirely to the small counties. There
will be mighty pulling and hauling in
Lansing, Tuesday night and Wednes-
day morning before the state con.
vention sSens, each side endeavoring
10 get the majority before any report
is made by the committee on credc:l-
tials.
Lined up against Campau, beside
the Wayne county leaders Of Mayor
Thompson's faction of the Democracy.
Will be such men as John T. Winship,
OF Saginaw. state chairman; Wood
bridge n. Ferris, Martin Cavanaugh,
l.. T. Durand. John r Bible, c. II.
Kimmerle and James Scully.
The split-up into two conventions
Saturday afternoon may have serious
results TO the local Democracy. The
anti-Campau men are practically ali
friends and supporters OF Mayor
Thompson and many threats Of
vengeance on Police Justice Jeffries
were heard when he led the bolt TO
form separate convention.
The same feeling WAS evidenced
when, In the examination OF the ere
dentials OF delegates, the name OF j.
Waltz Dohany was called. Dohany is
the man who beat Jefferies In the
caucuses and he was given a great
reception as he arose TO state the
circumstances.
Abundance of evidence in anticipa
ton of a contest was secured by the
anti-Campau men. Each delegate was
called upon to stand up and recite
how he was elected. how many votes
were cast in the ballot box. how many
his opponent received and whether
that opponent acquiesced in the re-
suit. All this will be presented in
typewriter form TO the credentials
committee OF the convention.
Only the withdrawal Of the Campau
men after holding their convention in
the rear OF the Wayne pavilion Satur-
day Afternoon prevented collision be-
tween the rival forces. AS 1t was. no
blows were struck although the OPP
posing delegates strained their lungs
in boots and yells at each other.
II is expected that Cummins. Of Ian
sing, state committeeman. will be
made temporary chairman OF the con
yention. There will be only ten mem
bers OF the credentials committee as
two districts have contesting delega'
tions.

consent that Amann should kill him.
Amann stabbed the child through the
heart with a knife and stabbed him
self twice in the breast but his
wounds did not prove fatal.

BLAME FOR FATAL
ACCIDENT P|VOTs
ON Gates
AT o. q w. RY.
CROSSING WHERE MET DEATH.
TELLS CORONER THAT HE
LOWERED BLOCKADE.

NYACK. n. Y, Feb. 24.-The coro-
her today began an investigation to
place the responsibility for the grade
crossing accident yesterday, which re-
suited in the death OF six young peo-
pie and the injury OF three others.
The question as 10 whether the watch
man, who admits that he went TO
supper at midnight. lowered the gates
before leaving his post, as he says he
did. will have an important bearing on
the coroner's finding.
The Waterman says the stage. in
which the young people were returning
from a dance. struck the gates at the
Ontario a. Western railroad crossing
and crashed through them. Others
assert that but one gate was lowered,
that being on the side farthest from
the stage, which blocked It's passage
and held 1t while the train swept down
the tracks. Others say the gate was
not lowered at all, otherwise the
horses, which escaped injury could not
have reached their stable without first
breaking through this gate.
Returning From a Dance.
The accident occurred shortly after
midnight yesterday. The merry party
was returning from n dance and was
going to Spring Valley. The train
struck the stage squarely. demolishing
It.
The names OF the dead follow:
Nelson May, 10: Jeanette Palmer.

"For those suffering from acid dys-

or for fiatulent dyspepsia shown by
gas on stomach. causing heart trouble
and difficult breathing, as well as Tor
all other forms OF stomach trouble. the

Cheap cathartic medicines claiming
to cure dyspepsia and indigestion can
have no effect whatever In actively d.

Is misnomer.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-In the
opinion OF the operating officials Of
railways, they have not been con-
fronted for many years with a con-
ditjon SO serious as Is contained In
the nine hour" law, which, by its
terms, becomes, effective on March A.
In personal conference and In cores
pondence with the Interstate COM
merce commission, the officials have
Indicated an intention to conform to
the act. but they express the belief
that 1t will not be possible fully and
immediately TO comply with the re-
quirements.
The commission Is placed between
two fires--that OF the railroads, which
desire an extension. and that Of the
labor organizations, which demand an
enforcement OF the statute. Thousands
of kilograms and letters on the sub
ject have been received by the COM
mission, most OF them protesting
against the granting OF an extension.
