CRAWFORD
BACKS DOWN
Has Cancelled His Dates For The
Debate Of Orchards Primary
Law"

Senator Crawford backs down on chal-
lenge from r O. Richards to joint de,
bate ii discussion. 81 proposed primary
law He writes Mr.. Richards and Ell
cuses himself Nv saying that he Is going
east TO speak in Michigan The last half Of
November.
Ii seems the senator had plenty of time
to prepare o subtle exparte assault ON
the proposed law, but no time, whatever,
TO defend his perverted presentation Of
the bill. Its good sign that The office
holders and patronage brokers are
against the proposed law because it es-
tablishes representative popular govern
ment in party management and makes
tile ofiiceholders accountable TO the
people during their term OF Office and not
only at election tinfe.
Il also places restraint on the APP
pointive Office spoils system. The dis.n-
terested professional man, the business
man, the common people who have
studied the proposed law favor its adop-
tion. Only those who have and are TO
grind seem 10 oppose IL. Senator Grave
ford's criticism is another case OF the old
saying that: That wounded bird dut-
tiers.
Mr. Richards will keep his date as per
schedule time Of challenge to joint de-
bate, and answer Senator Crawford i
criticisms at the Huron opera house.
Tuesday evening, Oct, 3lst, and other
dates set for joint debates throughout
the state TO give the people chance To
learn something about the law which
they win be called to vote on at the next
general election.

Today the stock sold up to SASS. While
the best figure paid previously was NJ.
The range Of the transactions TODAY was
all the way from S3i4 to more than
point better and the buying was very
general. nearly all the brokers apparently
getting in on the rising market.
Nearly SOP shares were sold yesterday.
while today the transactions aggregated
90 shares. AS the only, security on the
list that has made such a notable ad-
vance in the last few weeks gas stock is
conspicuous as 1t is going up independent
of the general market conditions
The balance Of the list did not attract
much attention. An inquiry was made
for 100 shares of American Bank stock
by one of the brokers when the call
reached the bank stock list. but there
was no response. The bid for ten shares
advanced from 10 to IL, but without re-
