FATAL INJURY AT MALLEABLEs

John Seluici, aged 35 years, and en-
ployed at the plant of the American
Malleables Co., died Monday as re-
suit of injuries and burns sustained
Sunday morning, in attempting to ex-
tinguish slight fire that broke out
over the ovens.
Seluici, climbed to the top of the
oven to extinguish the fire and his
clothing caught fire, from "fare-
back" from the oven. Almost instant
ly he was enveloped in flames and be-
came a human torch. He leaped to
the floor screaming with pain, and
fellow employees, turned water on him
extinguishing the fire, but not before
his clothing had been burned nearly
off him. He was hurried to Memorial
hospital.
In addition to his burns, he injured
himself internally when he jumped,
as hemorrhages from the bowels set
in during the night.

CAMPBELL EXPLAINS
HIS POSITION

Hon. Milo d. Campbell, of Coldwat-
er, in accepting the tender of support
from the various farmers organiza-
tions Of the State to become a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for governor of Michigan, outlines his
platform as follows ..
To the People of Michigan:
have just received from confer
ence committee appointed by the yari-
Gus farm organizations an urgent re-
quest that l become a candidate for
| governor, in letter containg a state
ment of principles which heartily en-
dorse.
/ have previously received pressing
invitations to the same effect from
organizations in other lines and from
widely different sources.
AS result have decided and now
announce that / am candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor.
In doing so, wish to say that I
shall endeavor to become the standard
bearer of certain great principles
which l regard as vital, and in their
interest shall devote all my energies
to vigorous campaign, not merely
in the hope of becoming governor, an
honor which | do not covet for itself
alone, but in the hope of furthering
these principles, which is the highest
ambition of my life.
There will be no pussy-footing in
my campaign. / shall, from time to
time, in accordance with the spirit of
the primary law, make plain state
ments Of my position on public ques-
tions, realizing that l may thus in
vite serious opposition but believing
the people are entitled to know what
to expect from me.
/ shall stand on the following plat
form:
/. Americanism.
2. Republicansim. Subject to my
duty as an American, l shall adhere
to the principles of the Republican
Party, of which I have been a life
long, active member.
8. The right of collective bargain
ing for both farm and Industrial labor.
a. Improved conditions and an
adequate wage for labor.
5. A basic eight-hour day in in
dustry but not a shorter day. With
the present pressing need for pro-
duction we cannot prosper on half
time.
9 g.. Against the demands Of the
"red" element in labor unions, and
for the apparently successful effort
of constructive leaders to prevent
their domination.
z. Proper relief for disabled sold
iers and sailors. Where the federal
government has failed to function ade-
quately for this purpose, believe the
state should supplement it's work.
8. Reduction in the number of
state boards by combining groups of
related activities along the lines sue
cessfully worked out in Illinois.
9. The proper recognition of wom-
en- in matters of government.
10. Certain reforms in insurance
laws which, without injury to insur-
ance companies, will greatly benefit
the insured. But not state insurance.
IL. Good roads and such internal
improvements as will make Michigan
a better state.
IL. Official independence. l shall
make no promises in advance of the
election, either of positions or poll
cies except as contained in my public
announcements.
13. Vigorous enforcement of the
criminal laws with special reference
to liquor laws.
Hoping my platform and candidacy
will win your approval, I am,
Sincerely,
MILO D. CAMPBELL.

ING HOURS IN AUGUST

We wonder how many of the citf.
zens of Florida know the real beauty.
and unalloyed enjoyment to be real
lied in the early mornings of these
August days? From the minute when
the first light of dawn begins to show
above the eastern horizon until the
sun begins to show its power as it
rises higher and higher in the heay.
ems, there are few hours when the
JOY of living becomes a very real and
recognizable thing. There is a fresh.
ness and GOODNESS and purity in the
air which is grateful to the lungs and
exhilarating to the spirit of the man
who is fortunate enough to be abroad.
Our sympathies go out to the individ.
ual whose business, or Incidence.
keeps him in bed during these best
hours of the day. He misses the best
part of living, who misses the hours
of the early morning when the dew
sparkles on the grass with the luster
and brilliancy of millions of diamonds:
he misses the revivifying freshness OF
the atmosphere, when the whole world
of nature, animate and inanimate
seems to laugh in joy and gladness at
the coming of new day. The very
leaves on the trees sway in the gentle
airs of the moring with new mean
ing. Later in the day, when the sun
reaches the zenith, they may droop
and wither under his fierce rays, but
there is none of that in the early
morning. Then they are alive, pulsat-
ing with life and visor, vibrant with
the simple joy of living, sparkling with
the dews of the night. challenging Old
