lNSURGEkT LEADER
IS AN EMBEZzlER

Frank E. Larson of Minneapolis, one
of the ring leaders in the insurgent
movement in the Modern Woodman
society, was arrested in his home city
today on a charge of embezZlement
preferred against him by the National
Surety company of New York which
vas on his bond. Larson was clerk
of Camp 1885 of Minneapolis and as
such drew orders for money on the
camp banker TO assist the insurgents
in fighting the rate changes authOriZ-
ed by the head camp. Apparently his
accounts were otherwise entangled al
so for a special audit showed him
short at least $500. The officers OF
the camp switched sums about in the
different funds to cover up the short,
age until an assessment came due and
as IL could not be paid, the camp was
suspended. The money has since
been paid and the camp reinstated.

The firm of Montgomery & Camp

dyeing and cleaning business, today
closed a deal with Bernard D. Connolly
whereby they come into possession of
the building just east Of their present

Is feet and is two stories in height,
doubling the floor space of the pana-
forum. Plans are not yet complete,
but the business of the firm has grown
TO such an extent that added room be-
came imperative. Plans for putting in

Grand Rapids, Mich. Aug. 23.-Six
months ago had anyone told Senator
William Alden Smith that before the
first of September he would be lying
awake nights worrying over the prob
lem Of how TO get himself neturned
to the senate for six years more, he
would have laughed. All seemed to
be clear sailing at that time. and no
one imagined that any serious opposi-
ton to Smith would develop either at
the primaries of later in the legisla-
turc.
That was before the Chicago conven-
tion and the rise of the new party.
For years the democrats have cut
little figure in Michigan politics, and
all factions of the party seemed to
be united on Smith as late as June.
The farmers liked him because ne
had opposed reciprocity The Roose-
welt element couldn't oppose him very
strongly because he declared that Ted
dy was a good fellow. The Taft PEG,
pie liked him because he said the
president had done we'll and deserved
another term.
Then came the Chicago convention
and the republican split Smith had
to choose what leader he would fol.
low and he chose Taft. He announced
that he would fight Roosevelt and the
new progressive party.
There is considerable progressive
sentiment in Michigan. and now the
progressives have lined up solidly be
hind Mayor Theodore Joslin Of Adrian
who has announced himself a candi
date for the senatorial toga Joslin
says he will put up a big fight, and
he actually expects TO win on the
Roosevelt ticket
In the meantime, the democrat IS
have got together and settled upon
George =. Hummer. wealthy man
ufacturer OF Grand Rapids, as their
candidate for Smiths job. Hummer
is popular and well known Throughout
the state. He too will put up hard
fight.
II is too early to offer predictions as
TO the outcome Of the three-cornered
fight al this time. Neither Smith noI
Hummer regards Joslin as a serious
contender for the place, but the Wig
orous Adrian mayor may get support
from unexpected sources.
Governor Osborn, who at first de
clared for Professor Wilson for pres
ident, has recently come out fol
Roosevelt and Johnson and for tho
progressive state ticket Should he
decide to go a step further and &C
lively support Joslin for senator
