The Danger OF Having No Opponent
In The Race.

The runner who has no pacem aker
is not apt to put forth his best effort,
and the same is true of the candidate
who has no opponent in the primaries
on his own ticket. instead of one or
thirteen. The reason is the fifteen
per cent clause. Any candidate who
fails to receive fifteen per cent of his
party's vote, as measured by the last
vote of the district for secretary of
state loses his right of being placed on
the ballot.
For this reason the Republican CO.
unity committee wishes to urge all
to remember and put an X in the square
in front of the several candidates, who
are without opposition, but in danger
of losing their places on the ballot if
they do not get crosses enough.
1t need hardly be said that the Dem
ocratic face the same danger, as their
turnout at the primaries where their
is nothing to fight for is usually small
and their principal risk is that the
personal popularity of a few Repub-
licans will beat out in their own party
a few of the regular candidates.
However, it should seem that with
the power usually vested in the county
committee ''to fill any'and all vacancies
occurring on the ballot between now and
election there, should be no necessity
for any great alarm on that score, as
it ought to be possible to replace the
missing names without difficulty.

Loan Books Free

School districts of this vicinity may
secure the use Of an excellent library
of fifty well selected books by paying
the freight and carriage from Lansing
and return. Educators throughout the
country recognize that proper books of
fiction, history, science and govern
ment compose the most essential
equipment for the school room and the
state of Michigan is willing to help the
school districts in this matter. Those
in charge of the state library have ar
ranged to make the splendid resources
of that institution available for the
people of the entire state instead OF
merely the residents of Lansing.
The travelling libraries. as they are
called, will be sent to any school dis
trict or other organization in the state
upon the filing of an application with
the state librarian, Mrs. Mary C. Spen.
Ger, Lansing, Michigan and the full.
fillment of the library requirements
which involves no expense. except the
payment of freight and carriage charges.
The libraries may be kept from three
to six months, then returned and new
assortment of books secured.
The libraries are made up to suit the
needs of the organization securing it.
Those suitable for schools are made uE
of books particularly adapted to young
people and the fiction is of the best
literature. The formation for the hab.
it of reading the right kind of literature
is the most vital part of pupils edu.
cation and so the state makes it posi-.
BILE for every school to give its pupils
the opportunity of forming that habit

CLAIM LAW FORBIDS.
Nominees for Congress May Not
Speak for Presidential Candidate.

An Interpretation of the campaign con-
tribution and publicity law enacted a
year ago that it extends to forbid candi-
dates for the House and Senate to advo-
cate the election of any presidential can
didate is a source Of much speculation
among members Of Congress.
Many members who seek reelection,
particularly republicans. and who insist
that advocacy of a presidential candidate
by a congressional nominee is contrary to
the spirit of the measure. quote the fol-
lowing in support of their contentious:
mo candidate for representative in
Congress or for senator of the United
States shall promise any Office or position
to any person, or to use his influence or
to give his support to any person for
any Office or position for the purpose of
securing the support of such person or of
any person, in his candidacy"
Statement of presidential preference is
embarrassing to republicans, since two
candidates are in the field bidding for re-
publican support

MANY MEASURES BLOCK
EARLY ADJOURNMENT
Senators Want Action on Bills
Which Are Likely to
Cause Debate.

That the Senate has long road to go
before the session is adjourned was indi-
Gated today by announcements regarding
measures upon which senators expect &C.
tion before adjournment
Senator Bankhead has already given
notice that he will call up, as soon as
the post office appropriation bill is passed,
a bill for the constructio nof a dam
across the COosa river, in Alabama
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts gave
notice today that at the same time he
would ask the Senate to act upon the
fur seal bill, which aims to carry out
the provisions of treaty between this
country and Russia. England and Japan
regarding fur seal fisheries.
IF We are to keep faith with the for
eign countries. this bill ought to be
passed." declared Senator Lodge
Fixing Presidential Term.
After the fur SEAL bill has been dis
posed of, Senator Cummins announced, he
would ask the Senate to act on the reso-
luton proposing an amendment to the
Constitution providing for a siX-year, non-
reelection term for President Senator
Kenyon caught the spirit of the minute,
and announced that after that resolution
had been disposed of he would call up
his bill prohibiting the interstate ship
ment of liquor into dry territory or dry
states.
All four of the bills which -.ill be called
up are sure to lead to debate. Senator
Burton has some amendments he will
propose to the Coosa river dam fill be-
fore it is passed, and an important amend
ment is to be offered to the fur seal
bill. Senator Borah and others oppose
the six-year-term resolution. and will
probably make a fight in opposition, and
there wifi be a stubborn opposition to the
liquor measure. as indicated by the devel-
opments before the Senate Judiciary COM
mittee, and that has prevented action
upon similar bills in former sessions.
