hands of Governor Osborn for their
political loyalty. In fact, there are
some surprises in store for politicians
with the maxim: ITO the victor belong
the spoils."
While some of the announcements
given out by the newspapers regard
Ing appointments are correct, impor-
tant changes can be looked for, as
many of the names were thrown out
as 'feelers" by the interested parties
in order to test public opinion as to
Ihe ACCESSIBILITY of their candidacy.
Recess Appointments.
Several of the recess appointments
are the result of changes in the laws
made by the last legislature. The in
cumbents Of the Office of labor COM
missioner and members of the state
railway commission were legislated out
of their respective Offices by changes
In the laws governing their depart
ments and were promptly re-appoint'
ed by Governor Warner, but did not
receive their confirmation from the
senate as the legislature adjourned in
May and the new laws became effect.
I've sixty days after adjournment. A
number of vacancies caused by the
death of the incumbents were also
filled by appointment. The number of
recess appointments is large, and
every effort will be made by the
friends of Governor Warner to secure
the confirmation of these appoint
ments. The governor-elect is deter
mined, however, to prevent confirma'
ton of number of these appoint.
ments. The voters of the state have
condemned Warnerism and have elect
ed Mr.. Osborn on the platform of a
new deal, and he is perfectly willing
to do his share of the work.
Whether or not he can carry out
his ideas and the wishes of the people
depends on the senate. The Warner
people count on Senators Bradley,
Barnaby, Cline, Foster Freeman,
Ward, White and Smell to furnish the
nucleus to the opposition to Mr. Os-
born's administration and rely on the
influence of those senators to bring
about the confirmation of the recent
appointments. The stormy days Of the
Pingree administration will look tame
in comparison with the next session
Of the senate. The reactionary SEN
ators will realize, however that Gov
ernor Osborn has all of the fighting |
spirit of the late Governor Pingree, but
more diplomacy and greater resource
fulness, coupled with a high intell-
gence and rapidly acting mind.
Opposition to Perry r. Powers
Considerable opposition has devel
oped over the report that Governor
Osborn will appoint Perry F. Powers
publisher of the Cadillac News and for
mer auditor general, to the position
of labor commissioner to succeed the
present incumbent, Richard Fletcher
of Bay City.
Should the senate refuse to con-
firm his appointment. the present Ia
Dor commissioner will hold his posi-
ton until the end of his term, June 80, |

People In Practical Farming.

People In Practical Farming.
A childrens potato growing contest
was held under the auspices of Nor
wood (Mass.) grange. Each child was
allowed to exhibit one peck Of pota-
toes that he or she had raised, the ex-
hibit being accompanied with a state
ment signed by himself and his par
ents that no one had anything to do
with their culture or harvesting but
the contestant. Weight and quality
were taken into consideration by COM
petent judges. The first prize of 50
was won by Carl Johnson, and four
girls divided the other premiums.
Several hundred of the school chill
dren started out in the contest, and
about 100 entered their exhibits. 1t
is said that the competition among the
children aroused the attention of the,
whole community" during its progress.
OF the advantages of such practical
nature study contests there can be but
one opinion. Norwood grange has
done well to interest the young folks
in this way.

The second day of Plymouth 5
great festival was ushered in by a
genial sunshine. 1t was typical
autumn day with just sufficient
breeze to temper the rays of Old

delegation, and by noon the city was

to be remembered and even the pro-

Of nothing to equal it in the history
of the city. The restaurants were
taxed to capacity and money was
spent with an abandon seldom heard
of. THO Rocl ester and Argos bands
discoursed excellent music through
out the day, and it was generally
acknowledged that no better band
than that of Rochester was ever
heard in the city.
The Wright Brothers took their
aeroplane out to the fair grounds al
one O'Clock and even at that early
hour IN the afternoon a large crowd
had assembled, and took keen inter-

plymouth more than made good
this time "Well. | didn t sup
pose they were going to have any
thing y eteat as that" Every
thing just wonderful Every
body was delighted and more than
satisfied from beginning to end"
Such are some of the expressions
caught at random from those who
attended the greatest gathering that
ever assembled in Marshall county.
Estimates Of from $4,000 to
10000 are frequent for the number
who attended the great Home Com
ing during the three days. Plym-
outh has made a record and the
Commercial Club has made good.
Complete success from beginning to
ending is the story of the three
days events here last week.
The beauty and completeness of
the decorations, both of the streets
and buildings, the variety and ex-
cellence of the shows, the interest
ing and exciting character of the
smaller special attractions. the fine
features of the Automobile and
Industrial parades, the great Horse
Show, the magifcent showings of
Fruits, Vegetables and Grains,
and the splendid exhibition
of Wright Bros. Biplane at the
fair grounds-all these made the
event the greatest ever had In the
county.
In addition to this was The notice
able fact that the crowd was a
well ordered one, there being no
disturbances at all on any day.
Everybody seemed too happy and
having too good time to make any
trouble. and the large number of
Commercial Club special policemen
had salutary effect upon any who
might have had disposition to
make trouble.
Prof. Thompson's balloon assem-
sions the leap the gap attraction,
the corn husking bee and the ladies'
hitching contest were\> among the
special features which kept the
people on the 60 all the time see
ing something exciting, educational
and very interesting.
The music by the bands was a
most pleasant feature. The people
were greeted from morning till
night, whenever opportunity offered,
by delightful strains Of the best
music afforded by northern Indiana
bands.
The whole affair WAS one grand
success from ths time the curtain
went up on Thursday morning till
it fell Sat friday night ON H. last of
the reluctantly leaving crowds.
