MICHEL TALKS
Has Announced That He Is a Candidate
for Governor.

Homer Guardian Journal April IL:
Hon. John T. Michel, Secretary of
State, has announced positively that he
will be a candidate for governor. 1t has
been generally conceded for several
months that he would be candidate,
but he never made the statement defn-
itely for publication. till a few days ago.
In the statement Eeferred to he mere
ly emphasized the faet that he would be
candidate for governor at the ap-
preaching election without issuing any
particular platform or declaration of
principles. We infer from the statement
of the Secretary of State that he eX-
pected to announce his platform at some
time in the near future.
While nothing was said in regard to
the nature of his candidacy, it seems to
be taken for granite dthat he will be the
candidate of the State administration,
AS the Governor will have his own can
didacy for the Senate to look after, and
he may not have as much time to devote
to the governors race as is supposed.
We have never seen nay statement from
the Governor on the subject, but as sew
eraI candidates have made known their
intentions it is presumed he will an
nounce his candidacy soon and begin his
campaign for the Senate.

authorizing removal of mayors by the
governor is void ard imperative,
Mayor A. r. TurnbplA of Canton,
against whom charges OF immortality
and connivance at grating by sub
ordinates were recently filed, has,
through his attorneys, filed a motion
with Governor Harmon requesting
that the charges be dismissed.
AS support for his contention that
the law which has been invoked
against him is void. Mayor Turnbull
cites the opinion of former Attorney
General Wade H. Ellis, issued to for
mer Governor Myron T. Herrick. In
this opinion, Ellis ruled that the law
is worthless for the reason that it
authorized neither the governor nor
the defendant to subpoena witnesses
for the hearing Of charges against a
mayor. Unless witnesses are sum-
moned, charges cannot be proved, he
argued.
II Governor Harmon rules that the
law under which the charges are filed
does not allow the summoning of
witnesses, in accordance with Attor.

doubtless mean that the whole pro,

VIII Expect Congress Aid.

Columbus, OFF plans partially per-
fected by Jesse Taylor, secretary Of
the Ohio Good Roads Federation, are
carried out the coming session of con-
gress will produce law for national
aid to the states of the Union for high
way construction. Several millions of
dollars will be given to the various
states for construction of national
highways. The difficulty in the way
of national aid, he believes, has been
the diversified schemes promoted. AS
head of the legislative committee of
the National Good Roads Congress,
recently held in Richmond, Va, he
plans to harmonic highway support
ers.
At the last session of Congress there
were 80 distinct plans for national aid.
Strength of the highways supporters
was wasted on the many bills to such
an extent that not single measure
reached a vote. The coming session,
he hopes, will be distinguished by the
first general aid plan since the build.

Senator Pomerene of Ohio has come
forward with a new plan in the inter

ment. He will press his measure pro-
viding for competitive bidding on gov
ernment funds deposited in banks.
The increased interest, he believes,
will produce enough to give substan-
tial aid to roads. y
The national campaign is to be sup
plemented by a campaign for con-
stitutional provision in the new con-
stitution which a convention will
frame in Ohio this year that will per
init of the issuance of $50,O00,000 of
bonds for state aid in road building.
With the bond issue every important
city in Ohio can be connected with
best roads and it is estimated that
81 $1,000,000,000 will be added to the
value of Ohio's real estate.

Sarah Bernhardt Denies Rumor.

why Sarah Bernhardt will not marry
Cadrane, the young Greek actor. First,
her son, Maurice Bernhard, has op-

been dominated by her sons wishes,
and without his consent she will never
marry at all. All her spare, time and
spare money goes to her son.

"Please tell my American friends
that l am not marrying a Greek, nor a
barbarian, nor Jew, nor a Gentle
When next l visit America my friends

Fatalities of charlvarl Party.

Mt. Eden, Ky.-Frank Armstrong,
aged 20, was probably fatally hurt and
his father, Dudley Armstrong, and a
companion, Amar Richardson, were
seriously injured by an explosion of
gunpowder during the progress of a
charivari party which followed the
wedding of Frank Reynolds, of this
country. One of the phases of the
charivari was the firing of an anvil.
The too-rapid firing of the iron caused
it to get hot, which resulted in young
Armstrong being horribly mangled
when he set about recharging the an
vii. A large package of powder which
he carried in his hands let go when he
stopped over the iron. Richardson
was landing near, and was fearfully
burned about the head and face Arm
strong's father was injured while try
ing to beat out the flames when his
sons clothing became ignited.

"Oh, Sandy, this is really splendid.

"Ah, weel, Jennie, woman" replied
Sandy, to the mirth of those sitting
near, Just sit you still there; I'll not

Of the Russian troops in Persia have
been kept for several days completely
in the dark. How large a force has
been dispatched by the Russian gov

movement, are unknown in London,
but he public generally feels that the
end will be the establishment of a
Russian protectorate over the best
parts of Persia, including the two
northern capitals, Tabriz and Tehran.
Newspapers and politicians generally
regard it as unlikely that Russia,
once intrenched in Persia, will ever
withdraw. The Teheran correspond

All officials, as well as the newspa-
pers, credit him with efficiency and
good intentions, but accuse him Of
lacking diplomatic tact.

THE LITTLE WIDOW
A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to
Have.

"a little widow, a neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that 1t
would not retain food of any other
kind" writes a grateful woman, from
San Bernardino Co., Cal.
81 had been ill and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
tion for three long months after the
birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
81 liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In z
months my weight increased from 50
to is pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and l felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly, and still more so
when they heard that Grape-Nuts
alone had brought the change,
my 4-year-old boy had eczema very
bad last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. 1 put him on diet of Grape
Nuts, which he relished at once. He
improved from the beginning. the &C.
zema disappeared and now he is fat
and rosy, with delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did 1t. I will
