MUSSfLMAN GIVES VIEWS
ON ISSUES AT HOUCHTON

Amos s. Musselman OF Grand Rapids
one of the three seekers of the nominal
ton for governor on the republican
ticket, arrived in the copper country
yesterday and will remain in the towns
of this section FOR the next two days.
Mr.. Musselman was met at L'Anse by
a party of Houghton people i'm an au-
tomobile. Judge George Clapperton of
Grand Rapids and Frank Baldwin of
Escanaba, friends of the candidate,
We're also on the train but they con-
tinued the journey into Houghton. Mr..
Musselman visited the merchants Of
L'Anse, Baraga and Arnheim, took
dinner at Red Cliffs, the farm OF ]. II.
Rice, south of this village and arrived
in Houghton in the afternoon. He then
went 10 South Range and visited the
towns of the range
Candidate Musselman and his friend,
Judge Clapperton addressed a crowd
of about 500 I'm front of the Houglton
public library last night, after holding
an informal reception at the Douglass
house. where he was serenaded by the
Isle Royale band. The band did much
to attract a crowd to the library. Pres
ident w. +. Miller acted as the chair
man of the meeting and first intro
duced Judge Clapperton, who made
long speech, telling of the splendid
qualities of his friend. After Mr.. Clap
pertons speech, President Miller made
a little address OF welcome and in
troduced Mr.. Musselman.
The Grand Rapids mans voice. thus
far shows no effects Of the campaign,
as he could be heard plainly on Shell
den street, n short block distant. In
the beginning of his address, Mr.. Mus
selman said he felt like exhibit c..
explaining that the other two candi-
dates, whom he designated as exhibits !
A. and b., had been around and now it |
was time for the people to see exhibit |
G. He stated il as his belief that the !
state of Michigan, which he character |
lied as "a great corporation in which |
you and / are stockholders and the |
state legislature is the board of direc- |
tors" at this time needs a ard-headed |
business man at its head and he claims |
to be the only candidate for the nom
nation who is not a politician.
Mr.. Musselman touched upon the |
tonnage tax issue, prefacing his state
nent with remarks to the effect that
MS answers to the question asked by
he State Grange had been miscon-
strued by his political enemies. He
said that the republican party in this
state had been working for ten years
10 get the taxes assessed upon an ad
valorem basis and that he thought 1t
nconsistant at this time, to break
away from this plan. He reminded
his auditors that II is not the province
Of the governor to make the laws but
TO enforce them after their servants in
he legislature had passed them.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
LABoR's ESTIMATE.


| ENpFoooco tUeiF SNS''"'~s
The laborlng man will be called upon
Sept. 6 To make his choice for con-
gresham from this district. A safe
guide to follow is the expression of
the leading labor journals on the
worth OF congressman.
Here is what the Labor World. the
leading labor journal of the United
states. has To say of IL. o. Young in
its issue of May 10, 1910.
"The masses. and particularly the
manual labor portions of them
throughout the country. have I'm ii.
Olin Young, member of Congress from
the Twelfth district of Michigan, one
OF the ablest and truest friends I'm
Congress. Representative Young is
one of the people in every respect,
and the fact that he has continuously
been returned to represent the dis
trict above named for many years is
proof absolute as to the confidence
those whom he represents have in
him. When a man is returned time
and time again without any intermis-
sions to Congress, depend upon 1t
there is something good and useful
about him. This is true of Congress
man Young of Ishpeming, Mich.
Congressman Young Is Republican
of course and true and staunch one.
He is an advocate of the true and
sound Rooseveltian policies and also
an out-and- -out supporter of the Taft
administration. He is n most able
advocate and defender OF just and
reasonable labor measures and claims.
He believes i'm trade union principles,
and therefore organized labor should
at all times be ready to lend him
every encouragement and support. His
mind is broad and liberal and no
truer man, or one more faithful TO the
trust reposed I'm him and to the in
terests of the people in general ever
went to congress-"
And this from the Labor Leader
of Baltimore. Md. another promi-
nent labor journal.
Congressman Young represents
the twelfth district of Michigan, where
there is no doubt that his return is
assured owing to the popularity he
enjoys among his constituents. Con-
gresham Young is a born orator.
Not only is he eloquent, but is logi-
cal and perceptive in mind. His
knowledge Of men and things gener-
ally Is extensive. on Industrial ques-
tions he is exceedingly well inform
ed. and while his sympathies lean
towards those who earn their bread
by the sweat Of their brow. he does
not overlook at any time the rights
and interests of all classes he rep
resents.
Congressman Young believes I'm the
welfare of the workingman and the
efficacy of organization when rightly
guided, and at all times he appre-
ciates the rapid advances labor has
attained. Mr.. Young is most ener-
getic worker I'm the interests of his
and has secured many
benefits for his district.
This gentleman understands the
wage Garner. because he started in
the mine himself as a weigher of ore.

CURIO DEALERS

GENERAL MANAGER M'kEEVER
OF COPPER RANGE ENTERS
THE TRACTION Mlx-uP-
A LETTER.

r. T. McKeever, vice president anc
general manager of the Copper Range
railroad. has, innocently. taken hand
In the row that few of the merchants
In Houghton. especially those mer-
have promulgated for the purpose OF
getting the Houghton County Traction
company TO stop running a special caI
to meet the Anchor line boats and CIV
ing the tourists on these boats "A ride
through Houghton and Hancock. The
action that Mr.. McKeever has taken
win probably result in aiding the cause
of the dealers, although this was not
the purpose of the Copper Range OFF,
cials in taking this action.
Mr.. McKeever returned to Houghton
Tuesday afternoon and was at the
Copper Range dock when the Octorara
arrived. one of the first things that
the railroad official noticed was the
uniformed traction company conductor
exhorting the people from the boat to
take the street car ride and telling
them that the regular cars of the cleo
trio road would take them to Calumet
and other towns of the copper country
reached by the trains of the Copper
Range railroad. Mr.. McKeever is al
ways awake TO conserve and safeguard
the interests Of the Copper Range and
he was astounded TO find that a COM
peting carrier was sending its bark
ers" right into the Copper Ranges
front yard to coax away possible pat
ronage. He very politely, ii is said,
told the barker" to cease his bark
ing" and to amble of the railroad COM
pany's property.
Writes to Manager Rogers.
The Traction Co.'s man seemed none
too anxious to obey the commands of the
Copper Range official but was later
pursuaded do so. Later General Man |
ager McKeever sent a letter TO Cen
eral Manager Rogers Of the Traction |
company notifying him to cease the
practice which proved so Objectionable |
to the Copper Range official. The |
probable effect OF Mr. McKeever's ac-
ton will be the withdrawal of the |
barker from the dock. as it will |
doubtless be more effective i'm restrain
ing the traction company from taking
the tourists for a ride than would be |
the proposed petition to the traction |
company, which, as far as could be |
learned this morning, was still in the |
proposed" state.

S7.79 to Lock Each Boat

the past iscal year Is lock vessels
through at the Poe and Weitzel locks
of the st, Mary's canal There were
1903 vessels locked through at an av-
erage cost of S11.5O per loclage
Two hnG somctives three vessels arc
taken through in one loclsage at the
American canal, ana the total number
of lockages are about half the number
of vessel passages. The average cost
of each passage is figured to be about
s779. Counting 20 trips for each boat,
the government had to pay S155.SO to
care for one boat through one season,
i'm locking expenses.
For each registered ton passed
through the canal, the expenses am
ounted to 34i mills. and for each
freight ton, 1852 mills. Since there was
a registered tonnage of 29,67S,73S tons
and 2S,651,144 tons of freight passed
through the American canal, the cost
can be readily figured out
The total time used in making lock-
ages emountod to 4.307 hours and 23

The total time spent 10y vessels in
