MUssELMAN LOYAL TO PARTY
Detroit Courier. !


However one may differ from the
views of Amos Musselman, republi-
can candidate for governor, it is i'm
possible to challange his loyalty a.
stalwart republican or impugn his
courage in standing by the ship. 1t
is worth noting that Mr.. Musselman
must be reckoned with in the coming
contest. He possesses elements of
strength that will certainly command
votes, and his activity is of business
mans kind that builds up enterprises
by actual force of effort
Regarding the third party, Mr.. Mus
selman comes out squarely for the Old
republican party, and proposes to
stand or fall with the party 1t will
be observed there is no hedging or
lodging and that's the true American
spirit. He says in part as follows
81 want it distinctly understood by
every voter in the state of Michigan
that / am no third party man. | am
a republican and will continue to be 4
republican as long as the party stands
for the principles on which it was
organized. / am no straddle candi-
date for governor.
81 want it said as emphatically as
the English language can make it,
that | am not on the fence. / am
not in favor of third party. I will
be no party to it, and if | cannot be
governor on the republican ticket,
do not want the office at ALL"

COMBINATION RACK
RORHOLDING BOOKS
Is Made of Indian Teakwood and
Brass,

Every corner OF Europe and some parts
OF Asia have been secured by buyers
from American stores for novelties in the
stationery and similar lines during the
past year, and one OF their most sue
cessful quests has been for bookracks.
France has provided some OF the newest
ideas in this line. and the result is that
the man or woman who is, looking for a
bookrack can get something entirely out
Of the ordinary in q few OF the speedy
shops.
The brass, both plain and carved, has
been in vogue long enough for many peo-
pie to demand a change, and the plain
woods and even those Of woods In two
or three kinds and colors combined have
not altogether suited some OF exacting
tastes. .
Now these has been brought out a
combination of wood and brass which Is
artistic and quite out of the ordinary.
The wood IS one of the most durable
lnown-Indian teakwood-hard and dark
and capable of taking on high degree OF
polish. The brass work takes the form Of
inlay and is delicately wrought.
The rack is of the extension variety.
having a base of seven or nine narrow
strips Of wood which slide along IN
grooves after the manner OF the brass
rods. They are provided with several 1T
tie rubber feet to protect the surface Of
the table or desk on which the rack may
rest A palmer and less expensive style
has merely, a band of the brass inlaid
around the outer edge Of the teakwood
ends and has only two strips Of wood
in the base.
Many of the new bookracks are sta
tionary, bat long, and have one or two
divisions formed by sliding partitions, 20
that several kinds OF books may be kept
in the rack at one time without becom-
ing mixed
Another novelty Is heavy book ends Of
bronze, showing chubby children In relief
The bronze comes in both the hrownish
and greenish finishes.
