A Mark In State History.

An interesting feature of this action
this year is that it will be the first
time since 1854 that any but a Repub-
lican set of electors and any but a
Republican vote will be cast. 1t viii
also be but the third time since 1851
that the Michigan vote will not be cas-
for the winner. This time Of course,
the Michigan vote is for loser and
the work of the electors is merely per
functory. But it serves at least an oc-
casicn for jollifcation on the part o.
the Progressives, who are happy that
they carried Michigan. even though
their vote will be INSIGNIFICANT beside
the great vote in the electoral college
which is piled up for Woodrow Wilson.

FROM ASSIGNMENT

ST. Louis, May 1o.-It developed hero
today that the failure of the board of
bishops of the Methodist Episcol al
church, south, to re-assign Bishop Cal
Inns Denny to preside over the ST Louis
conference is attributed to petition

The board of bishops, at their meeting
in Dallas, few days ago. assigned Bish-
op e. E. Hoss to the st. Louis confer
ence, which meets next September.

tained a complaint that in 1911 he appoint
ed the Rev. C. NJ. Hawkins presiding
elder of st. Louis over the protest of
leading laymen.
AS result of the appointment of the
Rev. Mr.. Hawkins, it was said the ag-
gressive work of the church in st. Louis
