Decision to establish paper to be
known as the Official organ OF the or
der and to choose the state lecturer
by primary were two Of the import
ant measures passed by the Michigan
State Grange In the closing hours Of
the forty-6rst annual convention, al
the Masonic temple. last night. The
proposition OF having q paper which
would be under the direct control OF
the executive committee has been un
der consideration for some time. There
are at present two papers published
in the interest OF the grange, the
Grange Patron. conducted at Adrian
by James w. Helme. state food com
missioner, and the State Grange F0
rum. published at Mason. by II. M
Young.
The delegates left the propositions
of starting the grange organ for the
executive committee to work out.
The proposition to choose the next
lecturer by primary vote OF all Of the
grangers in Michigan Is also consid
cred important In view Of the fact
that a successor Is to be chosen ia

A resolution introduced by Herbert
F. Baker. former speaker Of the Michi

Houston as secretary Of agriculture,
precipitated the worst fight Of the 1913
convention, yesterday
Bakers resolution not only con.
demned the attitude of the National
Grange, but lauded State Master Ket.
cham, who led the fght against the
measure in the national convention.
The resolution failed Of passage In
it's entirety, the grange refusing to
60 on record against the larger gov
erning body. That portion Of the res
olution lauding Ketcham for his posi-
ton was passed, however.
Frederick Walsh, president OF the
Michigan Bean Jobbers' association
conferred with the grangers and IN.
troduced a plan to arrange an annual
meeting between growers and bean
jobbers to fix an equitable price based
on the governments crop reports.
The grange commended President
Wilson for his stand IN the Mexican
situation and Landed his action against
lobbyists in Washington. Telegrami
