The many friends of Huntley Rus
sell of Grand Rapids Commissioner OF
the State Land Office, throughout the
9Th Congressional district are pleased to
know that he is i'm the race for the
nomination OF representative in Con.
gress from this district.
Ii has been known for some time that
he is candidate for the place and now
that the presidential nomination have
been made and the political campaign
for 1912 will soon open up in earnest,
new interest is being taken i'm his can
didacy.
Mr.. Russell before his election TO the
office he now holds as State Land Com
missioner being elected by the largest
majority of any candidate on the ticket
was State Senator for four years, and
his record in that legislative body was
most satisfactory To his constituents.
The legislative journal for 1905 and 1907
shows that he introduced large num-
Der of important bills, many of which
were passed and became laws among
which was the two cent mile bill for
rail roads, the free employment bureau
bill, the bill TO compel automobiles TO
besnumbered, prohibiting purchase of
state lands by state employees, TO
repeal of baillie bill allowing only actual
cash damages TO be collected from rail-
roads and all corporations, prohibiting
Probate Judges and Circuit Court Com.
missioners from accepting fees of any
kind except salaries, prohibiting state
employees dealing in state tax titles,
protecting wives and children of ex-
convicts. Through his efforts the
Board of Managers at the Soldiers Home
was prohibited from taking the soldiers
penson money and the q. X. Il |. X. II.
was compelled 10 re-establish trains
service at Mill Creek now Comstock
Park.
His experience along this line of
public work in legislative matters
qualities him for the higher position he
seeks and his many friends hope 10 see
him land the nomination and election.

Broke His Arm

Last Sunday morning, while crank
ing A. b. Hull's auto, preparatory TO a
short visit TO Wabasis Lake, Ray
Waldo, who is working for Mr.. Hull
had the misfortune to have his right
arm broken just above the wrist. The
accident was caused by the machine
back-firing just at the time when he
took hold of the crank. This is the
second accident OF the kind within two
weeks and we trust that our large
corps of auto drivers will all escape any
further accidents of this kind. There
should be way TO avoid accidents of
this character and we sincerely hope
that everyone will take the necessary
precaution 10 avoid such painful
injuries.

Wilson Is Nominated On The
Forty Sixth Ballot After
Heated Contest
BRYAN A BIG FIGURE
Convention All Split Up And In
Fierce Wrangle For Many Hours
Tom Marshall For Vice
President

To the great disappointment o.
Champ Clark and the New York and
Missouri delegates especially, the Balti.
more convention on Tuesday made
choice of Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey for its candidate for president.
Gov. Wilson's choice was dramatic
climax To most remarkably bitter bat
tie between the progressive and reac-
tionary wings of the party and while
the first indication of his probable
choice came with some material shift
ing strength on the forty-third ballot it
was not until the forty-sixth when he
was carried into the nomination on the
crest of veritable landslide that the
seven days deadlock finally was broken.
The New Jersey governor had 800
votes on this ballot, 264t more than he
needed. Eighty-four delegates stuck to
Clark in spite of their release and twelve
stood solidly for Gov. Harmon of Ohio.
During the session of the convention
at every opportunity VIM. J. Bryan
took advantage of the situation TO let il
be known that he was there and his
famous resolution TO have the monied
interests, predatory wealth and dele
gates Belmont and Ryan the multi
millionaires set down on, caused an up
roar and John B. Stanchfield of the
New York delegation replying said:
"Mr. Bryan has said that no man
having the support of the New York
delegation could be elected at the polls
if he were under the influence of Ryan
and Morgan and Belmont.
Let US look for moment at the
makeup OF the delegation from New
York. We have here the Democratic
governor and lieutenant-governo of the
state. We have upon the delegation
the candidate for president OF the United
States in 1901. Wehave an ex-justice OF
the supreme court of the state of New
York. We have la wyers of repute, bus
mess men, professional men in every
walk and department of life, and it is
by common consent the most repre-.
sentative delegation that ever came 10

Portland Has Ii Too

Supt. Selleck OF the water plant,
found last week one of the most stren-
Gus he ever put in and never once did
he remove his clothes and go TO bed.
To keep even small supply of water
in the standpipe it was necessary TO
pump constantly, while the wells would
yield, and the only rest he got was
while they were filling up again, A
radical change has been ordered in
sprinkling hours, which will be found
in another column.
Patrons OF the plant are urgently re-
quested 10 use every effort TO economic
as under present conditions a fire would
almost amount TO calamity.

"They would need no defense except
for what has been said upon the floor
OF this convention. IL this delegation
was composed Of puppets OF wax as
designated by the gentlemen from
Nebraska, we say TO that money-grab-
/ bing, selfish, office-seeking, favor-hunt-
ing, publicity-hunting marplot from Ne
braska that they are actuated only by
the best of motives and best interests of
the party.
"We have heard for months gone
that Col. Bryan by his voice and in
fiuence was supporting Woodrow Will
son in one place, he was supporting
Champ Clark in another, he was COM
batting Harmon here and Underwood
there, all of the time desiring and in
tending, in pursuit of his own selfish
ends To produce dead lock in this con-
vention in order that he might be the
recipient OF the favors of this con-
troversy.
Congressman, Edwin +. Sweet, of
Michigan, now in Washington says
"The nomination of Wilson is bound
TO disappoint Byran almost rs much as
the nomination of Clark. am con-
vinced that next to securing the nom-
ination himself Bryan would rather
have had Kern than any other man.
81 think Bryan's actions have been
outrageous and his accusations ground
less.n
After Wilson'S nomination, the dele
gates weary and worn out and many Of
them disgusted over the doings OF the

from the turmoil and in mood that il
didn't make much difference to them
who the vice president should be,
and they throwed it quickly TO Tom r. |

HE THREW BOMBS
Bryan A Trouble Maker At Baltimore
Convention


Just as the Baltimore Convention
would get into harmonious spirit and
about ready TO proceed quietly and
peaceably 10 business Bryan would boh
up and inject bomt that would sci
the convention in a turmoil. OAe OF
the reporters at the convention writes
il up thus:-William j. Bryan enjoyed
the convention last night as trouble
maker His resolution declaring the
conventions independence OF the big
interests, naming Ryan, Belmont and
Morgan, was offered TO make a record.
He seemed 10 hope that the resolu-
tion would be defeated. That would
have made an embarrassing record
one that would have helped Roosevelt
and the ''progressives.
| The debate upon the resolution was
bitter and personal. The delegates
jeered and booed and hissed their for
inner leader. Bryan talked to an angry
crowd, who felt that the resolution
insulted the great monied interests
from which the campaign funds were
coming.
Democracy was greedy for victory,
savage for the flesh pots and il grow led
at Bryan viciously. The roll call pro-
ceeded in confusion. In ten minutes
the rage of the reactionaries cooled.
They saw what a record they were
making refusing To declare their in
dependence of Wall street by two
third vote.
Then the American spirit spoke.
The convention finally winked its other
eye. 1t passed the resolution amid
laughter. The leader who tried TO
scold was silenced with giggle
The crisis passed, and Bryan was dis
credited in a joke. His dramatic plan |
TO embarrass the party became horse
play. State after state changed its
vote TO the affirmative TO make the |
whole matter ridiculous by producing
an overwhelming majority and so the
first ballot of the night passed.
