CONVENTIONS IN
GRAND UPR0AR
Weather Dampens Spirits of
Republican Gathering
Wednesday
PROCRESS|VES FOR TEDDY
Michigan to Cast Twenty-nine
Votes for Justice
Hughes

All is storm in Chicago, the con-
vention city, this week. With the
opening of the Progressive National
convention, Wednesday session, the
Progressives took possession of the
auditorium and with yells, singing
and cheers, aided by genuine bull-fight
music, marched up and down the isles
shouting their favorite passage Of
scripture, owe want Teddy" This
demonstration lasted full hour and
twenty minutes. Several of the lead
ers discussed the matter of request
the police to stop the riot, but the
majority was of the opinion to let
them have the elbow" out, and then
go on with the convention program.
Michigan for Hughes
At caucus Wednesday afternoon,
twenty-nine of the thirty delegates
for our state announced their decision
by ballot to cast the votes for Hughes.
H. T. Stanton, the Grand Rapids dele
gates will probably be the only one
to cast his vote for Roosevelt. The
first ballot will go to Henry Ford. VIM.
Kelly, the upper peninsula delegate,
states while his personal choice is for
Root. he will stand with the bunch
to make solid front for Hughes on
the second ballot.
G. O. p. More Quiet
The assemblage of over 10000 at
the Coliseum at the Republican Ma
tional convention were rather down in
spirits. Harding's defense appeal help
ed stir up a little enthusiasm, but the
down pour of rain together with a cold
bitter wind took the pep out of the old
party leaders and the day passed off
fairly quiet in comparison with the
wild rampage at the auditorium by
the Bull Moosers.
The conservative element of both
the Republican and Bull Moose parties
are trying to get together and agree
on a candidate that is acceptable to
both, at the present time it looks like
Hughes. The first ballot will probab-
ly be taken Friday morning with little
prospects of conclusion this week.

BEAUTIFY ALMA

There are many things that can be
done to beautify our city and one is
the cleaning up of the river banks by
owners through the city. If
each person owning property on the
river would make an effort along this
line it would materially assist in MAX
ing the river and pond through Alma
more beautiful.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
TRIMMING TREES
Professor Miller of M. A. c.
Writes to Local Civic
League.
CRIT|CzES METHODS USED
Also Gives Valuable Suggestions
for Beautifying the City
Forestry

The receipt of the following letter
by the president of the Civic League,
brought the leagues attention to the
manner in which tree trimming was
being done in Alma at present. At
its regular meeting last week the
league decided to call in expert opin-
ion with the result that Professor Gil
son of Michigan Agricultural college
spent some time here Monday the
fifth, with a committee composed of
Mayor Mckinney, Mr.. c. f. Brown
of the Alma Record, Mr.. j. F. Sartor
of the Alma Journal, and Profs. Nc
Curdy and Mitchell of Alma college
The letter follows:
Mrs. Francis King,
Dear Madam
The writer you may remember as
the man who doctored your trees
two years ago. To begin with ] am
not in the tree-surgery business any
longer hence the following will not be
in the form of an advertisement.
While waiting between trains in Alma
last Saturday, | walked about the
city and noticed great deal of tree
trimming. That is why | am writing
YOU. The men who Grc thinning these
trees are topping" thcn, that is. cut
ting the tops off so that all trees will
be- of even height. This is one of
the worst ways of trimming trees and
results in the stubs dying back to the
first branch, leaving unsightly dead
stubs sticking up. believe you are
interested in beautifying Alma and
therefore decided to write you.
Trusting that you will not think
me impertinent and hoping that the
work | did for you has proven salts
factory, | am,
Very sincerely yours,
O. r. MILLER,
ASST Coach of Athletics

man by little standards We have set up.
The only way 20 judge is by the
fruit what has been produced. Let
Us judge a horse race by the honest
speed made under the most favorable
conditions; let US judge q religious de-
nomination by the kind of people it
makes; a school by the workable schol-
ars it turns out; and man by his power
and willingness to render benefit to
society. If the horse made mile in
2:40, do not report it Pol fat; if a
church produces good men and women,
real aggressive helpful citizens, stop
this everlasting claim of priority, but
make men; if political party is really
doing good work for the people in gen
eral, give it credit, and if a man is
climbing up the highway of life, max
ing an honest effort, do not stand a.

number of voters participating in the
primary this year was about 1000 less
than two years ago, Governor Capper
received 1891 votes this year as
against los, 300 in 1914. There was a
noticeable falling off in the Democratic
vote for governor this year. Hodges
had 4, 636 votes in the primary of 1914,
while the combined vote of both Land
son and GaitsSiIl this year is only A.,
432. Capper's vote of 139, 918 breaks
all records. 1t is the largest ever given
any candidate in a Kansas primary for
any Office.
In many counties the governors pri-
mary vote this year is much heavier
than his vote at the election of 1914,
which is compliment never before &C
corded to state candidate. In Sedg-
wick county, for example, Governor
Capper's vote of g, lib at the election of
1914 was increased to $3.50 at the re-
cent primary. Douglas increased from
1854 to 3,703, and Wyandotte from
5,019,t to 5,916.
Two years ago Governor Capper was
high man on the Republican ticket by
IA 900. This year he received $4,000
more votes than any one else on his
own ticket and had three times as
many as the combined Democratic, So
cialist and Prohibition vote, all OF
which indicates that Capper's sati5fac-
tory handling of the Office of governor
has made him stronger than ever with
the people of Kansas. Governor Capper
was elected two years ago by the
record-breaking majority of $1,000.

been so far off when he predicted in tie

Governor Capper would be reelected
