tion Of the excellent care given the

On Tuesday next, September 1st, the
Republicans Of Michigan will have
their first opportunity to choose their.
candidates for governor by direct vote
Some are Of the impression that the
registration which entities them to VOTE
at an election also qualities them 90
vote at the party primary. This is n
mistake and may result in the disfran-
chisement Of thousands Of voters at the
primaries.
Every elector should, remember that
in order to vote at the party primary
Sept. LIST, he must first enroll today,
Saturday, August %, unless enrolled
for the party primary two years ago
This enrolment is entirely distinct
from the registration required in order
to vote at the general election Novem-
Der Sd.
The candidate who receives the high
est vote, not less than 40 per cent. of
the vote cast at the primary Sept. LIST.
will be the nominee of the party.
One thing which the voters must pay
the closest attention to in voting the
Republican ticket this time is to look
well at their ballot before marking
The law requires the transferring of
the names of the various candidates or
an equal number of ballots as there are
names. Therefore the first may con-
tain the name of Bradley at the head
the second Earle, and the third that Of
Warner, and so on throughout the en-
tire number Of ballots.
This will require careful watch on
the part of every voter to see that he
votes for the man of his choice.
On the other hand, there will be
ballots representing FIVE different polit-
ical parties. These are designated by
color of paper and title line. and will
be delivered to the voter in accordance
with the book of registration complied
on August 18th.

IraiinIllen Picnic
Called Off.
The Event which Was Practically
Planned For Tomorrow Failed
TO Materialize.

The annual picnic and outing Of the
Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen, of
which we spoke in last weeks issue
from good authority, met with crush
ing blow, and the result is that large
number of the members and also many
Of the local people are considerably dis
appointed. N
1t appears that at a joint meeting
held Sunday last at Marquette there
was discord in the ranks and the out
come was the abolishing Of the occasion
80 far as the Marquette. branch was
concerned. Some of the members
clung to the desire to 60 to Gladstone
or elsewhere and some to L'Anse, and
the result of the breach was the failure
to decide upon any point.
We are informed that the Calumet
branch have decided to 60 the game
alone, but have chosen Ontonagon as
the place of holding forth.
1t is extremely unfortunate that the
different branches could not be in har-
mony on the question, for had they
come to L'Anse they would have been
accorded welcome never to be forgot

Hot One For Cannon.

The following article which appeared
in q recent issue Of the Detroit News,
under the caption Of Its $4,000, 600
vs. Cannon" ia somewhat interesting
one and throws light on the deplorable
condition into which our country has
been permitted to merge, and which
was published in behalf of Henry F,
Cochems.
IN you were asked to answer this
question: What single individual ex-
ercises the most complete control over
the affairs of his government" you
would, no doubt, answer ''The Gear Of
Russia
And If you were told that Joe Can
non, the speaker Of the House of Rep
resentatives, wields more power than
the Gear you probably wouldn't believe
it.
But it Is a FACT.
If 80, 600, 900 Americans want thing
done, and Joe Cannon doesn't, that
thing WILL NEVER BE DONE.
He APPOINTS the Committee on
Rules. This Committee decides what
business shall, or shall not, be consid-
cred in Congress. The Committee con-
sists of two Resublicans, two Demo-
Gratis and Joe Cannon.
There are 391 Congressman. They
represent, or TRY to represent, 80, ,000,-
600 people.
If 800 of the 391 Congressman want
a bill considered, and Joe Cannon says
''No," THAT SETTLES IT. 1t takes a
unanimous vote of the 39l to override
the Committees ruling.
THINK OF THAT. All the voters in
the United States helpless when Joe
Cannon says mo-"
No man or newspaper has ever de-
Tended this tyranny. Joe Cannon de.
fies the President, obstructs the wishes
of the people and THREE TINES, in the
last session, Congressman WILLIAM H.
Stafford of the Fifth District voted
against the effort to RETURN the con.
troll of business to the MAJORITY anc
take it away from Joe Cannon.
Congressman Stafford is known as {
CANNON MAN.
On the other hand, HENRY M. CoCH
EMS, two years ago, was the FIRST mar
in the country to protest against thii
outrage on free government in a pub
lished platform.
This is one of the issues in his cam
paign against Stafford.
A vote FOR Cochems is vote AGAINs,
Cannon.

Mr.. Lindsay has established a pros
porous and select business in his home

ton will be given tohis branch agencies
as to his local trade.

ais store for the special handling of
this class Of goods and expects to merit
a liberal patronage as the outcome
