HOLD REPUBLICAN COUNTY
CONVENTIONS SEPTEMBER IA

A meeting OF the republican state
central committee was held this week
at Grand Rapids for the purpose OF
setting the date for the state conven-
ton and for the county conventions In
the various counties.
The date of the state convention was
fixed at the earliest possible moment
allowed by law. Under the new pri-
mary law the convention could not be
held within ten days of the meeting of
the state board OF canvassers and the
secretary of state had fixed this meet
ing at September &c. Therefore the
exact ten days was the date chosen
and the convention will be held at
Detroit on October 6. This makes "a
very short campaign, but 1t could not
be helped and it goes as a result. At
this meeting all the candidates for
state office below the grade of lieuten-
ant governor will be nominated and
both the candidates for governor and
lieutenant governor who have been Sc
lected at the state primary September
6 will be present and expected To speak.
Senator William Alden Smith of
Grand Rapids was selected as the tenn
porary chairman without a hitch.
The apportionment of delegates will
be upon the same basis as last year,
Houghton county will be entitled to 81
delegates at the state convention and
Keweenaw county will send 4. while
Baraga county is entitled to 3 dele
gates. Ontonagon county may send 8
delegates to the convention.
County Conventions Sept. IA.
The county conventions for the Sc
lection of delegates to the state con-
vention was fixed for Sept. IA. The
state convention will probably be some
what tame, as there is but one contest
yet I'm sight for state office. This is
for attorney general, where Franz
Kuhn, Grant Fellows, VIII NJ. Smith
and John O'Keefe will be candidates,
with Roger l. Wykes of Grand Rapids
in a receptive mood.

Over 10000 Members

Since that night the movement has steadily grown until
there 10000 members The incidents told in
the various meetings sometimes very thrilling. Men
who had been sober for week at time
remember have been sanch eetoaes and
perance workers for the last months. The who
drink have proved themselves best suited their
comrades to join them in this crusade.
Other temperance movements have been apparently
too much by total abstanes and those who needed
to be reached could not be approached by of that type
They resented all interference with their personal liberty
from men who had apparently understood the
called friendly ties developed round the social glass.
All great institutions, has said are but
the frightening shadow of unique personality This
truth is at apparent in this instance Mr. Patterson is
in class by himself He combines in a marked degree
devoutness and humo sanity and enthusiasm simplicity
and eoquence He attract and set them to work
How he has been able to do much short time is
difficult to understand
The distinctive feature of the union is of course the
fundamental principle of each pledgng himself get
another There is nothing about such principle but
somehow has been applied in connection with
perance in just the way with the benecent
results The who have stopped drinking need some
thing to occupy their attention and excite their interest

s0ucl1s INVESTIGATION

1 have been informed by some of my
friends that cretain persons have cir
culated a report that l have been found
short in my accounts and that this
report is being used for political effect
in connection with my candidacy for
reelection as county judge; this report
is absolutely false and l am taking
steps to ascertain who was responsible
for its circulation. The books of this
Office or any other Office of which l have
been incumbent can be inspected by
anyone desiring to inform themselves
and they will show that nowhere have
l taken any fees TO which I was not
entitled. And the records of the county
judges office will show that all the
fees for every estate that has been
prObated during my term, have been
turned over to the county as required
by law and I have the t%reasurer's re-
ceipts for all of these sums and all re-
cords have been kept strictly up 10 date.
Inasmuch as l cannot have an 0ppor-
tunity of getting around to see all the
voters and inasmuch as it would be i'm
possible to write each one. l take this
method of advising the public as to
the true state of facts and to invite
anyone who is interested, to look the
matter up for themselves.
Yours respectfully.
