Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1912-05-30

The following frank and open letter
has been received by the Banner from
Amos 5. Musselman of Grand Rapids
which we gladly print, heartily endorse
and ask every republican reader of this
paper TO carefully consider and make
up their minds at once TO support him
for Governor. In the letter he says:
GAS you know, am candidate for
the nomination of governor by the re-
publicans of Michigan at the August
primary. The vote received two
years ago justifies the claim OF my sup
porters that | am the logical candidate
at this time. If all the men who were
favorable TO me then had voted for me,
l would have received the nomination.
You are familiar with the things /
stood for two years ago. My basic
principle then was Article 6, Section 3
of the Constitution which says: "He
(the governor) shall take care that the
laws be faithfully executed" This is

a mandatory declaration, and l, as
sworn officer of the state, would govern
myself accordingly.
The keynote of my campaign this
year is, "Cleah politics and an honest,
efficient administration OF state affairs
The people Of Michigan will welcome,
think, the application OF sound busi-
ness methods and principles to the
affairs OF our seate. The administration
of the states affairs is matter OF busi-
ness pure and simple, and II am elect
ed governor, will conduct the Office
on business principles, eliminating
politics AS far as possible The Office is
an executive one and the governor is
the general manager and executive
officer of this great Michigan corpor-
alton in which we are all stockholders.
He should be responsible therefore, TO
the people who are its stockholders.
Modern, up-to-date business methods
should be applied in all state institu-
tions and departments, and character
and efficiency should be the governing
qualifications of those receiving ap-
pointments.
would like TO have your support,
and, if successful, will not disappoint
you. The state will receive the best
that is in me, and whatever my long
business experience has taught me is
good, Will be freely given the state.
feel confident of my nomination and
election, but would like the victory a
decisive one, SO that may be sure the
great majority of the people will up

May not be assured of your support
and cooperation?
Very truly yours,

Economies in the Use of Meat


The cook who broils the tough end
of a pOrterhouse steak, roasts the ribs
in a roast, throws away the bones and
juice left on the platter by the carver
and discards as unfit for use the meat
from which the soup stock is made. is
guilty OF wicked waste.
The end of a porterhouse steak is I'M
mt to serve when broiled. II should be
cut OF. This, together with the bone
and juice left on the platter, a bay leaf,
three or four cloves, an onion, carrot
and some parsley will make several cups
OF bouillon. The ribs should be cut out
Of a roast when preparing IL for the
oven. These, with the leftover gravy,
may be used in a similar way for stock
In making stock, the long, slow pro-
cess OF gentle boiling extracts the flavor
from the meat and coagulates the albu-
men. only a little Of the latter is ex-
tracted. Therefore the meat loses but
little Of its nourishing properties. There
are numerous ways in which such meat
can be made appetzing. Combined with
rice and tomatoes a delicious luncheon
dish may be made. Butter baking dish
and line with hot boiled rice. Fill the
center with bits Of meat well seasoned
with salt. pepper and onion juice. Cover
with rice. Bake twenty minutes in the
oven. Turn out on a platter and pour
over IL q well seasoned tomato sauce. II
