MAINTAIN STRONG

Watch on Committee Chair

From a san Correspondent.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 12.-Another
strong opponent of the pre-primarY
convention idea proposed by the sub
committee OF the Republican state
central committee has leaped into the
game with both feet And the new
factor In heading off the attempt 10
vitiate the spirit of the present pri-
mary law is nothing more nor less
than the State Grange. prime force
in legislation heretofore.
The grange is maintaining strong
lobby In Lansing at the present time,
watching committee appointments
and preparing for the battle that is
certain 10 come.
The executive committee OF the
grange. assembled at Lansing on Dec.
2l, went on record regarding the leg.
: tslaton II desires In no uncertain
terms and relteration OF the plank
relative 10 the machine made primary
bill Will probably be of interest at this
time. The resolution adopted at that
time follows:
While we believe that il is possi-
bic TO revise the present primary law
so as 10 guarantee more fully the
greatest possible individual freedom
rights. we are opposed TO such amend
ments as will provide for pre-pri.
mary convention for the absolute Sc
lection of candidates at the primary
as being in direct opposition TO the
spirit and intent of said primary law"
In addition TO the fight against the
pre-primary convention system the
Grange will make a strenuous effort
n hn aA nf
Torrens system OF land transfers and
the passage OF a tonnage tax law
Committee chairmanships and assign
ments are being watched closely with
an eve 10 determining possible actor
on these bills. There is certain to be
strong opposition TO both of these
pieces OF legislation.
The grange will also oppose any at
tempt TO make any division other
than the township the unit in good
roads building, 1t has already an
nounced its undying opposition to any
attempt TO bonding schemes for road
construction
The grange Will also support the
governors recommendation for the
passage OF market commission bill
Members OF the grange are also de.

laws compelling faster movement OF
cattle shipments in the state; a read

SEEING THINGS AGAIN.

Republican national chairman,
Charles d. Hilles. sees in the election
of Mccall as governor of Massachu-
sets. evidence that the trend of public
opinion in the east is against Pres't
Wilson and the democratic admins
tration for 1915. In the absence of
complete returns it is difficult to ana
lyze the Massachusetts, vote. but GER
tainly there appears little foundation
for Chairman Hilles' assumption.
Massachusetts is of COURSE normal
~ republican. In 1913 the vote for
governor was split as follows: Walsh
(democrat), 1S3,267; Gardner (repub-
Iican5. 1905; Bird (progressive),
.127755, FOss independently, 20,171.
The progressive vote was composed
of republicans mostly who seem to
have now returned to the old party.
for the progressive vote this year was
negligible Assuming that four-fifths
Of the old prOgressives voted repub-
yican and one-ffth democratic-ab6ut
the right proportion theoretically
Mccall was due to receive in round
figures 21S,OOO and Walsh 2OS,O0
The personal following Of Foss in
1913 probably detracted about equal
~ from both parties. The prohibition
vote, remarkably strong this year,
was also probably equally divided.
Thus reasoning, Mccall should have
won by approximately ten thousand.
His majority. with one precinct miss
ing. is 6,406.
We see no evidence of any great
change of sentiment, nor any cause
for gloom for anybody.

against Anglo-Russian domination
.A.eting in conjunction with a German
force a mighty army of these rebels
could invade Russia through Turkes-
tan. In the meantime the Germans
would hold the French in the vest
and Austria keep the Italians at bay.
Greece might remain neutral through
Il all, but Roumania would be forced
in with the central powers. The Ger
man army Of 100000 meD. now
lined up on the east, reinfOrced'b by the
Bulgars and Roumanians, would
march once more against Russia. Be
tween the two gigantic armies Russia
might be brought to her knees.
This is the dream OF the German
kaiser, seemingly practicable and easy
OF accomplishment considering the
proven might OF the German arms.
But there's one almost insurmount-
able obstacle in the path-Japan. The
moment the German troops set foot
across the Bosphorus, the little brown
men of the mikado will swarm
through China in a resistless tide.
Then will it become truly a world war.

thought. Friends Of the deadly an

about it. 1t weighed on her mind.
and after kissing her babies good
night she left them forever.
