HARRY RICKEL SAYS HE
STANDS BY HIS OFFER
Will Pay Reward for Conviction Of
Those Guilty Of Election Frauds,
Whether Vets or Drys.

The recent local option fight In La
peer county has been productive OF
some interesting correspondence be-
tween L. -. Cramton, OF Lapeer, aud
the Manufacturers & Dealers asso-
cation, OF Detroit. II all grew out Of
the posting OF announcements by the
association through Lapeer county
that it would pay a reward of 500 for
Information that would lead to convic-
tion for colonizlng or other election
lfrapds. The posters contained a fac
simife OF ehe mlch-dfscussed letter
written by George w. Morrow, super
intondent OF the Michigan Anti-Saloon
league.
CTamton wrote the association that
he had no information of any frauds
being practiced by the drys. but he
did have information concerning al
legged Irregularities by the liquor in
terests. He cited the case OF Milton
McMullen who, he said. was a resi-
dent OF either the township of Attica
Lapeer county, or Of Flint. Cramtou
claims McMullen was induced to vote
in the First ward OF Lapeer, when ne
vas not q resident of the city. He
laced the facts liz the hands OF Prose
outing Attorney Smith. McMullen was
arrested, arraignCd. waived examina
tion and was bound over TO the circuit
court
Now Cramton makes the demand
upon the Manufacturers & Dealers
association that upor the conviction OF
McMullen, the reward Of 500 be paid

THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT DIS
CRIMiNATE.

The Washington Post deprecates the
attitude of this country in denying
admision to aliens suffering from
tuberculosis, without regard to the
size of their pocketbooks or their
position in society. The Post says:
While the view may seem cruel, II
Is true, nevertheless, that the United
States can find justification in refus-
ing to accept some immigrants who
are affected with tuberculosis. They
may not have the means nor the in
telligcnce to prevent the spread of
infection. and their Illness may bring
them TO a point where they will have

that strong opposition to Congress

There is no reason why Mr.. Jones

SCHEDULE IN HANDS OF
SPECIAL COMMITTEE

After debating the matter for some
time lest night. the Hampton city
council referred the question OF the
through cars from the Boulevard into
the city over the street railway TO a
special committee, consisting of three
counciImen, two members of the
Wythe District Protective Association
and two citizens of East Hampton.
Mr. w. W Richardson. who is
anxious to see the Boulevard cars
run directly into toe city, offered the
resolution. which was finally present
ed TO the council through Councilman
c. v. Sprstley. There were a num-
bel OF prominent men from the BOule-
ward section present at the meeting
to urge that the council permit a
change in the East Hampton SEIZED
ule. while the residents of East
Hampton sent long petition TO the
council opposing any change. other
than fifteen minutes schedule on
the route.
Mr. Richardson thought that the
special committee representing sll the
parties concerned could confer with
the streel railway authorities and IN
this way probably bring about a sat
isfactory adjustment Of the entire sit
uation.
Mayor Jones named COuncilmen G.

A SUGGESTION TO THE CITY
COUNCIL.

Unless some extraordinary effort is
made to bring about the RESULT,
weeks and even months may pass
before the budget for the coming
fiscal year is adopted by both
branches of the city council. The
common council, after devoting two
long, trying evenings to consider
alton of the budget Is as far from a
state of mind that will permit OF a
final disposition of the matter as 1t
could have been before the finance
committee began its work on the
original budget. The board of alder
men practically has given no formal
consideration to the subject, but the
members OF that body are even more
effectually divided than those of the
lower branch. Then what ground is
there for hoping that the members of
the respective branches will agree
among themselves and the bodies
with each other any time in the near
future?
Everybody recognizes the nccessi-
~ for adopting the budget as soon
as possible. Ii ought to have been
disposed OF a month or two ago.
The questions is, how shall it be
done.
This paper has an idea that some
thing might be accomplished By
holding a joint, informal session of
both branches OF the council. OF
course the joint session would be
wholly informal. no ordinances could
be adopted and no binding action
could be taken. But with all of the
members of both branches together,
IL might be possible to talk over The
situation, fight out the differences
and bring about an agreement be.
tween enough members to constitute
majority OF the floor of each OF
the bodies In regular session. Thus
the delays and misunderstanding in
cident to the bandying of the budget
ordinance back and forth between
the branches might be obviated.
A call for a joint informal session
issued by the presiding officers o
the respective bodies. We believe
would bring out practically full at
tendance. Most Of the councilmer
are sincerely anxious TO have this
troublesome matter of their minds
They must realize that the delay il
acting upon the budget ami the dis
scnsions engenderod by wrsnglinl
are not good for the city; and NJ
doubt they arc sick and tired Of bsv
Ing to worry and talk and hear abou
the matter.
