city. The county vote, hard against
the proposition. was overcome by the
city vote, and the proposition carried.
II was the end Of a hard campaign on
the part of boosters for this movement
Attic carrying in the city, the. LAD
Orty memorial building proposition wai
defeated by such an overwhelming ma
jority In the county outside OF BUT
linxton. that the movement was de-
feated by more than 1000 votes, the
majority against being 1903.
The street car proposition was lost
in Burlington by a vote Of 5s7.
Thus one Of three propositions sub
mitted to the people at the speciai
election on Monday carried and the
other two were defeated.
Burlington Vote Decided.
In reality burlington pulled Des
Moines countx out Of the mud" Only
one township voted In favor OF nara
roads. this being Flint River, the
West Burlington vote being yes but
not by as large q majority as was
expected. More than 100000 is avail
able in federal aid for hard roads and
1t is expected that action looking to-
ward the paving Of the primary sys-
tenn will be taken in the very near 1u-
ture.
Altho the city gave the memorial
nearly 300 majority, this was mol
enough to overcome the opposition IN
the rural districts, and this fell thru
with a rush when returns from the
rural districts began to come In. The
street car company proposition TOT
higher fares was doomed from the
start, good sized majorities being reg
istercd in most Of the precincts OF the
city, altho some gave slight major
ity in favor Of it.
AS result of the vote on the stree,
car proposition the men went out on

The campaign on behalf of the hare

cially during the last week. The
fight was carried into nearly every
township. but with very little visible
result in favor of the movements. In
the city, hard roads went big" but
leaders could not understand even the
small vote in opposition to the I'M
provement. Leaders in behalf Of TIT
liberty memorial building were visi'
bly, disappointed In that the city did
not give greater majority In favor
Of the building, which was to honor
the memory Of the service men who
died in the war and the men who
served during the strife. The vote II

United States are to be dealt with by
criminal prosecutions from Ch'cagoi 1t
was decided at the first conference OF
the federal experts in the office of
United States Attorney Clyne yester-
day. The heads of the combination of
Chicago packers known as the big
Five" along with mary independent
packers. ARE to he indicted under
pose Of jailing them. according to the
plans mapped out yesterday.
Isadore ] Kresel. che OF the most
widely known jury lawyers in the
United States: Oliver E. Pagan, fed
eral in dictrnent expert; c. B. Morri-
son. Chicago lawyer, and United
States Attorney Clyne, constitute the
personnel Of the group selected to
prosecute the packers.
They met early yesterday morning
and conferred all day on the prelimi-
nary details OF the criminal prosecu-
ton of the men who are alleged to be
| responsible for creating monopoly
on practically all the food markets of
the world. N
Evidence against the packers has
been assembled from eleven states. it
| Is said. The "Big Five" are alleged to
| have monopoly on the buying. pre-
pairing, distribution and production Of
almost every food commodity in the
United States. Evidence which covers
| hundreds of thousands of pages has
been assembled and the department of
Justice agents ARE working hourly on
almost as much more. it is asserted.
The nature Of the evidence pertains
to the most minute details of the OPP
everything from the alleged destruc-
ton Of foodstuffs to the violation Of
the Sherman antitrust jay.
| The evidence will be ready for the
grand jury within six weeks or two
months. it was predicted. The pack
ers against whom >the Investigations
have been directed are: Armour &
Co., Swift & Co.. Morris & Co.. Wilson
& Co., Cudahy & Co.
The Independent packing companies
have come in for an equal share Of the
Investigations, 1t was said, and the
| federal agents have found similar
culpability insofar as violation of
United States laws are concerned.
| Agreements to restrict each others
buying activities to prescribed terri
tories, with similar agreements as to
! the amount Of production and prices
have been unearthed in material form
it Is said at the district attorneys
Office.
THE packers will get a square
DEAL" Mr.. Kresel said. 1T is not our
i purpose to take advantage of them
but the people will get square deal
also. We face long and tedious task
but the government Is capable of do
ing this job. We have massed much
evidence and will gather as much
more.
"Chicago Is the place from which
we will work. The packers will be
proceeded against individually and
collectively. AS was announced by the
Attorney General, the big Five" is to
be prosecuted as having violated the
laws as one big group and also as in
dividual companies.
Evidence to that effect will go be-
fore the grand Jury. We do not intend
to delay"

UNION CAUCUS
WAS HELD FRIDAY
GOOD TICKET UP
CONTESTS WERE EASILY AND
AND AMICABLY SETTLED BY
THE VOTERS GATHERED.

The Union caucus which was called
for and held in the auditorium of the
city hall Friday night turned out to
be a record breaking affair when it
came to numbers in attendance and
some of the old timers were strong
enough in their opinion to state that
it was the largest caucus ever held In
the city. This may be due to the
fact that the caucus practically de-
cided the election which is to take
place on April and also to the fact
that this was the first caucus ait
which the women were allowed by law
to exercise the privilege and duty of
voting. The latter were there in
good force, but did not mix in with
the male voters very much and they
held themselves together in the rooms
formerly occupied by the city public
library before it removed to its new
building.
The city caucus followed the hold
ing of the ward caucuses in the three
wards of the city and which were all
well attended, although a great many
attended the city caucus who were
not in attendance at their ward meet
ings. This is borne out by the fact
IflttI JHt COilDiilCN NObC VI iIiiC tiAACC
ward caucuses falls far short cf the
high number of votes cast at the city
gathering.
A noteworthy fact in regard to the
caucus was that in other years at such
gatherings the room would be fairly
blue with smoke, but on this occasion
not a man puffed a cigar and not the
first bit of tobacco smoke was to be
scented or seen in the room. This
was not prearranged or requested,
but it seemed the proper thing to all
the men gathered there that out Of
respect to the lady voters, smoking
was out of order.
The city caucus was called to order
by Chairmen Fales and Hubbell, they
being the chairmen Of the republican
and democratic city committees, at
promptly 8 o'clock and after the read
ing Of the call for the caucus, r.
Howard Hall was chosen to be chair
man of the meeting. W., b. Reed

FARMERS FAVOR
GOOD ROADS FOR
MICHIGAN
SENTIMENT EXPRESSED AT THE
UNION MEETING OF FARMERS
CLUBS POINTS THAT WAY.

About 200 or more farmers and
others gathered at the auditorium IN
the city hall Friday morning at about
1O o'clock on the occasion Oh the JOINT
meeting of the East Otisco Farmers
club, the West Otisco Farmers club
the Orleans Farmers club and the
Fairview Farmers club and after a
general session of getting acquainted
sat down to a picnic dinner which had
been prepared and rubbed elbows with
one another to the fine lot of eatables
which had been brought for the oc-
casion.
Following the dinner the assem-
blage joined in singing America,
after which State Highway Commits
sioner Frank III. Rogers gave a good
timely pointed talk, explaining the
proposal which will be voted on by
the people at the coming election re-
garding the $50,000,000 bonding issue
for a good roads system. His talk
was good and he cleared many doubts
in the minds of some present to whom
the matter had not seemed quite as
clear as it should.
A general discussion was then en-
gagged in and j. ID. Strain spoke in
favor of good roads but came out as
an advocate of the direct tax method
of paying for the improvement. He
was followed by Mayor Fred w. Green
of Ionia who spoke in favor of the
amendment as proposcd-to bond for
sum up to, $50,000,000. After the
discussion a vote was taken and show
ed that the people present we're unan-
imously in favor of good roads for
Michigan.
1t was also suggested just at the
close of the meeting that the union
feature be made an annual affair and
plans may be made so that it will be
held every year.
Many expressions were heard
thanking the board of commerce and
especially Sec. Byron F. Brown of
that organization for the part which
they took to make the meeting a sue
cess and the coffee, cream, sugar, etc,
furnished by the local association
were highly appreciated.

A WOMAN FOR
COUNTY COMM|S.
S|0NER OF SCHOOLS
MISS LUCY GULL GETS NOMINA-
TION; EVENTUALLY, WHY
NOT NOW?" SAY WOMEN.

Probably 80 per cent of our public
school teachers are women Practi-
cally all the teachers of the primary
grades are women. Women seem
TO have made teaching a success; they
seem to have grasped the young boys
and girls problems, and to get into
their sympathies easier than men
The county commissioner of schools
has the job Of supervising our school
teachers in the county. The stand
ard of instruction, the system of
methods are supervised by the COM
missioner. Why cannot a woman
experienced in school work better un-
derstand the problems of ether women
who are teachers in our schools than
men?
Miss Gull is a woman trained in
school work and experienced by 10
years actual teaching, nearly all or
which has been spent in the schools
of Ionia county, she having taught at
Palo, Saranac and Ionia. She is par
ticularly well trained and experienced
in primary grades, and competent to
teach any grades. The greatest
number of children in school are in
the primary grades. The success of
the pupil in the grade has much to do
with the pupil in his later success. If
the pupil gets bad start, becomes
backward, he is retarded throughout
his entire school work. Miss Gull
believes, and is trained in methods of
getting students started right in all
grades.
In addition to being an enthusiastic
worker, Miss Gull is a graduate of
the Mt Pleasant Normal school. She
has kept herself posted on modern
methods in education by frequently
returning for summer sessions.
She understands the problems of
the pupil, the teacher and the tax
payer, and knows how to keep them
all working together. She has act
ually come in contact with the stu
dents of the Ionia normal classes,
many Of whom are now teaching in
our county schools.
IL Miss Gull is elected, the women
say, that we will have politics taken
out of the office and we will have
more work done for the money paid
to run the office. They also claim
that Miss Gull will assist in making
every school house in the county a
community center where the patrons
Va eiic oSiiOoi may kSI IOf5c lOT The
interest and benefit of each commun-
ity.
The women believe that the school
problems and moral problems can be
handled by women at least as well as
by men. They ask to be given the
opportunity to show what a woman
can do.
Their candidate has been nominat-
ed, without solicitation on her part,
and she has accepted the nomination
in the interest of better schools and
to show the public what a woman
can do in this important office.
As the women have the vote, as
they bear their full share of the re-
sponsibilities of life and human af-
fairs, why not elect Miss Gull to the
office for which she is well trained
and equipped.
The choice will be up to the voters
April z, both men and women.
