cago, who, on Saturday night, mur-
dered Daisy Watts. also known as
Grace Lyons of Chicago, by throwing
her off steamer in Lake Michigan,
has absolutely refused to touch food
or drink offered him in the county
Jail at Grand Haven.
The tragedy is one of the few MUIR
ders committed on government in
land waters In several years. and the
charge of murder will be placed
against Hopper in the Grand Rapids
federal court
The murder brought to light the
tragic end of the life misspent In
Chinese resorts in Chicago of the
daughter OF a prominent Grand Rap
ids family, according to the confess
sion OF Hopper. He declared he ceTn-
mitted the crime to prevent the wom-
an from returning to the life of the
underworld The girl however was
apparently fleeing from Hopper to re-
turn to her relatives in Michigan
Hopper said he first met the wom-
an about three years ago and fell IN
love with her, but she refused to
marry him and they separated. Six
months later, he said, he met her in
a Halstead street Chinese resort. Ac-
cording to his story she then accept
ed his offer Of marriage and he took
her from the place and they lived
together until recently. A week ago
she disappeared and he traced hersto
the same Chinese resort where he
found her smoking opium with ten
Chinese.
She LETT the place with him, but
they quarreled soon afterward, and on
Saturday she left. He traced her to
the boat and boarded it. Another
scene resulted and the crime was
committed

Mexico City, Aug. 27.--Francisco |.
Madero will be formally nominated
tomorrow for the presidency by dele
gates representing 1890 clubs in ma

tonight occurs To name the choice
of the convention for vice president

have appeared but it now seems GER
tain that but three will have presi-
dental candidates in the race The
men will be Madero, General Bernardo
Reyes and Emilio Vasquez Gomez.
Today the campaign is getting un-
der full head of steam. Convinced by
the oft-reiterated statements that un-.
due restrictions will not be imposed,
the people are entering into the spirit
of electioneering. Thousands paraded
the streets today in honor of Medaro
while other crowds helc meetings

The saloons were ordered closed and
soldiers were stationed in various
parts of the capital to aid the police
in repressing any disorders, but the
services of neither were required.

by the conference of Madero and
Aeyes at Tehuacan. Madero has
bitterly arraigned Reyes on the charge
of fomenting discord among the peo-

Reyes has replied with scathing COM

that his real strength lies in the
country. In many of the small towns

OF THE
Twelfth Judicial Circuit

OWING TO THE FACT THAT
THE SHORTNESS or THE TIME
INTERVENING h Eff o II IL 4 III II
ELECTION MAKES 1T IMPOSSIBLE
FOR ME TO REACH YOU PER-
SoNALLY. / HAVE DECIDED TO
USE THIS SPACE FROM DAY TO
IDAY TO PRESENT SIMPLY AND
FRANKLY THE FACTS WHICH I
BELIEVE ENTITLE ME TO YOUR
SUPPORT.
The primary system of direct NOM
ination OF public officers has been
one of the greatest steps we have ever
taken in the direction of making Of
flee holders responsive to the will of
the People. II. however, after making
an active and earnest campaign for
primary nomination i'm a district in
which his party is overwhelmingly
predominant a candidate should find
that after receiving the nomination of
his party the voters would Immediate
ly turn upon their party nominee and
vote for the candidate of the other
party he would have a right to argue
that his efforts i'm the primary were of
no avail and the primary itself fail
ure.
Now as never before. party loyalty
means something.
1t means loyalty to the choice OF the
people of the party. Any other course
would be hailed by the enemies of the
primary system with delight as an ar
gument to return to the old plan OF
nomination.
The democrats as usual are urging
the republicans to desert their ticket
and vote for tho democrat, and are en-
deavoring to create disaffection in the
republican party wherever possible. II
would seem very strange after having
preached party loyalty" and stick to
the ticket" after every nomination
made by a convention in years past |
to see republicans repudiate their !
when that nominee for the |
first time is named by the people |
The voters of the party have made
me the nominee of the party, evident
~ believing me competent to honestly
md ably discharge the duties OF the
)ffice. l think, therefore, that / am
entitled to your hearty and earnest
support.
