bility victims of the Titanic wreck.
The bodies were buried at sea,
A womans rings and fur coat were
also found on the raft and this leads
to the belief that another man and a
woman were on the raft at least for
awhile
The cork bottom of the boat had
been chewed and this showed how des
perately the men in the boat had held
on to life and tried to keep away star

CHAMP CLARK WINS
MICHIGAN EASILY
Gov Wilson Gains Only Eight
Out of the Thirty
DELEGATES

Bay City, Mich, MAJ 16.-Champ
Clark will have twenty-five of the thir-
ty delegates to the Der!ocratic nation
al convention and Woodrow Wilson
the other eight. If the delegation when
it reaches Baltimore should decide to
vote as unit, Clark will have all. Sew
en- of the Wilson delegates were elect
ed at district conventions. One Judge
OBrien, of Houghton county, the only
Democrat in the upper peninsula who
ever managed TO get elected 10 any of
flee worthwhiie was elected as a dele
gate-at-large on his own personal pop
ularity and not on his Presidential
preferences. The vote stood: O'Brien,
719h; Elliott G. Stevenson, of Detroit,
61512.
The anti-Wilson forces held to their
program of no instruction, but every
one of the men they chose as dele
gates is strong Clark adherent. The
only showing of strength the Wilson
men showed during the afternoon
was on the O'Brien vote
Harmon Following Small
In the district conventions, Wilson
won the Second, Sixth, and Eleventh
The Fifth was split, and Clark won
the remainder of the twelve districts
National Committeeman E. O. Wood
of Flint, was reelected to his position
unanimously. So was State Chairman
Edward c. Shields.
Many of the delegates originally
were for Harmon, but the Harmon
sentiment in Michigan has dwindled
to a negligible quantity, and practical
ly all his supporters have turned to
Clark.

meeting our good friend DIR. w.
]. Lee. DR.. Lee has been prac-
ticing medicine in Washington
county for several years first at
Vernon, then at Caryville, later
at Millville, and now at Southport.
The DIR. is a genial, whole-souled
fellow whom it does one good to
meet, and he is most wonderful
ly successful as physician, too.
Besides being a good doctor and
a clever fellow, he is also
shrewd business man, and as a
consequence is in easy financial
circumstances. He has just COM
pleted for himself and his esti-
mable family a handsome home,
costing something like So, 900, at
Panama City, and in short time
he will move to that hustling lit
tie city to make it his permanent
home. He is no stranger to the
people of Panama City, and will
doubtless be gladly welcomed
there as a resident physician.
