Governor Ferris says that Bryan

ON the democratic party IL Bryan leads
an insurgent movement similar TO the
desertion OF Roosevelt from the Re-

that Bryan would draw as much sup

such a platform as he would receive

Take the election in New York for
instance where the people voted down
the new constitution because it con-
tanned a number OF radical ideas. The
New York constitution provided for
short ballot, something we should have
in Michigan, yet the people would not
approve it. People have been carried

ORE SHORTAGE
WIN be Experienced by Some Far
naces-0re Moving Freely

1t is clear now that some OF the
furnaces are going TO be caught short
of ore, as they have been unable to
place orders with shippers for this
years delivery. II is absolutely Inn
possible for the shippers to get addi-
tional ships and with vessel tonnage
so scarce, they are reluctant to send
forward from the mines to shipping
docks more ore than they can get
vessel capacity to transport. The
shortage, OF course, will have to be
made up from the ore reserve on
Lake Erie docks and II is likely that
when navigation opens next spring,
the docks will be cleaner than they
have been for Is years. One ore
firm alone the past week could have
sold several hundred thousand tons
Of ore.
Furnaces are taking ore freely from
Lake Erie docks and the burden will
not be great upon them on Dec. j.
While ore shipments TO Nov. ! were
10000 900 tons greater than they were
last year, the amount on dock Nov. !
was scarcely more than II was last
year. The ore has in fact, been go
ing into cars practically all season
and very little of II has touched the
dock at all. Lake Erie docks are
expected to be pretty clean by the
close OF the season Iron Trade Re

Keeper SLY. was held in the lodge
room last Tuesday evening with
Deputy Patterson present TO talk to
the members. Sir knight Patterson
spoke for about three-quarters OF an
hour TO the large number OF members
assembled. explaining the changes that
had been brought about in the order
by the amalgamation OF the two bran
ches, the Knights OF the Modern Mac
cabees. which was the original Michi-
gan branch. and the Maccabees OF the
world. The amalgamation gives the
order over $4,000 members with poll
cies 9S-per cent solvent, a very en-
viable position.
The Maccahees have started a move
to raise fund OF 100000 for hos
pital purposes. Instead OF building
and maintaining a hospital at some
point the Maccabees will allow the
member who needs a major operation
or who, through reverses. is not
financially able to stand the expense
of an operation TO select any hospital
he chooses and the order will defray
the expenses OF the operation at the
hospital so designated. The fund will
be raised through the assessment OF
$l00 per member upon all new mem
bers and a request to all old members
TO contribute dollar towards the
fund.
The local meeting was called pri-
marily for the purpose OF considering
the future OF the local tent. The new
arrangement makes IL necessary for
the Offices OF record keeper and finance
keeper to be amalgamated. Robert
Munns has been finance keeper OF the
Crystal Falls Tent for 21-years. He
wanted to be relieved OF his RESPONSE
bility as he wouldn't under any con-
sideration take the added work OF re-
cord keeper Chas. Ponchaud, the re-
cord keeper, refused to take finance
keeper and the tent was up against II
for some person to take the Office. Mr..
Munns' faithfulness and his excellent
methods had brought him to the notice
OF the head officers at Port Huron and
Detroit and they would welcome his
change OF mind, on the matter OF taking
the two Offices but Mr.. Munns refused |
