ernor For His Courage.

Lansing, Mich, March 13 Every ef-
fort is being made tonight to force out
of committee the liquor legislation pro-
posed by Governor Osborn. William
9, Manchester Of Detroit, is here to
look after the liqtor interests and a
large number of in'epcndent saloon
keepers from Detroit are demanding
that the bills be reported out and
a'osted. The better element of the
saloon keepers is for the bill.
An Anti Saloon league field day was
held today with Governor Glen of North
Carolina as the principal speaker. The

lative to the legislation now pending:
We, the representatives of the Anti

Resolved, That we send greetings
to the mighty army of Anti Saloonists
throughout the state. who are working
so faithfully for the banishment of the
open saloon and congratulate them up
on the splendid victories achieved and
the large number of dry counties we
now have, and upon the bright pros
poets for great victories in the election
now approaching, and,
Further Resolved, That we hail the
great evidence of general antagonism
to the liquor traffic throughout Michi-
gan as a promise that statewide pro.
hibition, the object of every local option
worker is near at hand.
Be 1t further resolved. That we con-
denim the attempt on the part of the
brewer interests to smother in commit
tee the legislation proposed by Cover
nor Osborn and that we call upon those
representatives who desire to represent
the will of the people of the state OF
Michigan. to do their utmost to defeat
such attempted smothering.
We congratulate the people of the
state of M.oIigan that we have COVER

vital issue of the day, and has the
courage to boldly and frankly enter in
to open warfare against the saloon and

measures

Republican Primaries and Prospec-
tive Candidates.

The Republican city committee met
Thursday evening and organized by re.
electing Geo. M. Dewey as chairman
and Q. E. Rigley, Jr. as secretary.
The date for the city nominating prim-
ary was fixed for. Thursday next with
the hours from to p. m. at the usual
voting places. The official call is pub
lished in this issue.
With the primary but few days
away, prospective candidates are being
suggested. For mayor there seems to be
quite a general sentiment favoring the
nomination of George w. Clark, for
two years past alderman of the second
ward. Mr.. Clark has been exceedingly
careful in the discharge of his duties,
has shown himself to be man of good
business judgement and has always
stood for the best interest of the city.
He is If anything over-cautious in de-
Gliding upon questions which come to a
city officer but when his mind is made
up he is found on the right side and his
associates in the council and other city
officers have come to depend upon his
judgement to degree which is fiatter
ing to Mr.. Clark. Hesitating for some
time he finally yielded to the solicita-
tion of his friends and said he would
accept the nomination il it was ten

men 1t is understood that Geo. G..
Reineke in the first and Alfred Palmer
in the fourth will accept re-nomina-
tions if it is the wish of the Republi-
cans Of the ward that they do so. In
the second, the name of Cecil r. Nc
Laughlin cashier of the State Savings
Bank, has been suggested and If he
will accept the ward would have a
good representative. In the third, Geo.
Chandler has been suggested, and in
the fifth Hayes Perrigo and w. D.
Whitehead. For supervisors, w. Fl.

M. d. Corey and G. E. Rigley Jr., in

REDUCTION OF WAGES.
Grand Trunk Announces Cut Of from
$50 to $50 Month on Ger
tain ines

tain Lines.
Officials of the Grand Trunk have
announced reduction of wages for the
better paid trainmen on q number of
their branch lines in Michigan effec-
tive April 1st. The change does not
apply to the main line nor to the d +,
G.. H. & M. branch. Conductors on the
Owosso- Muskegon line are reduced from
an average of $l63 O5 to $l1O a month,
on the Durand Bay Citv line from
$l47.72 to $l15. brakeman on the same
line from $S2. 80 to $40. 1t is the claim
of the company that the men on the
lines affected by the order are at pres
ent receiving wages out of proportion
to those paid the men on other roads.
It is not as vet known what position
the men affected will take but it is un-
derstood the question Of acceptance or
rejection-and possible strike-will
be settled by vote.

Telephone Hearing

Representing the farmers OF the
county who object to the increase from
$l2 to SO per year for party line rural
telephone service by the Union Tele-
phone Co., Clayton T. Cook, p. B and
l.. G. Reynolds appeared before the
State Railroad Commission at Lansing,
Tuesday afternoon to give their views.
The Telephone Co. was represented bv
w. J. Melchers, general manager, L. L.
Conn. secretary, w. A. Bahlke, direc-
tor, and @. A Bloss, Owosso manager.
q. I. Cook in his remarks said many
other Shiawassee county people who
were opposed to the increase of rates
Ind expected to be present but were
unable to come owing to the short no.
tice- He stated it as his belief that the
increase to $15 year was not warrant
ed as the company was on an eight per
cent dividend and that the service given
was too slow, neither were there
enough lines between Owosso and Cor.
unna TO properly care for the business.
1t was his opinion that Manager Bloss
had endeavored to give good service
and to keep the lines in proper repair.
Mr.. l.. G. Reynolds admitted that the
lines were frequently used for visiting
and that this interferred often when
others wished to use the line for busi-
ness purposes. 1t was his contention
that there were too many subscribers
on the party lines from nine to twelve,
while he thought six about the right
number. P. B. Reynolds said frankly
that when his phone was installed at
$12 a year he could talk with but $50
subscribers while at the present he
could get connection with 1900 at a
rental of $500: he did not believe it
fair to increase the rates from the
Owosso and Corunna exchanges even if
it was shown they were run at loss
80 long as the company could pay eight
PER cent dividends on the income from
its entire system. 1t was his opinion
that those who asked for hearing were
willing to pay a fair rate for good SER
vice. Mr.. Bahlke, on behalf of the
company, stated that the books showed
the Owosso and Corunna exchanges to
haye been run at loss for several years
past and said the increase in rates of So
a year had been made to put these ex-
changes on self supporting basis and
he thought the company had right to
do this. Mr.. Bahlke also stated that
the company had ordered an up,to date
$40, 600 switchboard for the Owosso
exchange and that it wouli be install
ed either in new Office building or in
larger Offices and that when this was
done it would be possible to give better
Service. 7--'-ev
To give an opportunity to the petit
tioners to produce further evidence the
hearing was adjourned to be continued
in Corunna early in April.

Tho Special Session,

The members OF the legislature put
in busy day Wedne! day with the re-
suit that the following bills were pass
ed and will become laws
The bill providing for the organiza
tion of mutual insurance companies in
conformity with the compensation bill.
An amendment to the concealed

A bill providing for the payment of
certain factory inspectors who were un-
paid because of deficiency in the fund
some time ago.
At the session Thursday, the senate
for the second time defeated an at
tempt to give immediate effect to the
Ball presidential primary bill and thus
ended any chance for the present
session.
The conference report on the work
mems liability act was adopted in both
housesswith but single negative vote.
1t will again be voted on in the house
this morning owing to technicality
but is sure to pass. This is one OF the
acts Coy. Osborn called the legislature
together to pass.
The house by a vote of SO to passed
a state wide primary bill to include
all state officers, justices of the supreme
court, regents of the university, men,
bers of the state boards OF education
and agriculture, etc. The bill will be
acted upon in the senate today. A
constitutional amendment to grant
woman suffrage failed in the senate by
vote of 1s to 10--four less than the
required number for submission. 1t
will be before the senate again today.
