DEMOCRATS DIsHEARTENED
State Convention Last Week Reflected
Hopelessness of Mich. Campaign

One third OF the counties OF the
state were not represented In the de-
mocratic state convention held at
Grand Rapids last week aud OF the
Sl4 delegates accredited to Wayne
county only rs were represented. One
man answered the roll call for sever
al counties in the upper peninsula.
This condition was taken as an in
dication of the feeling among the DEM
ocrats that there isn't a chance Of ev-
en- making good showing In Mich
igan this year.
The principal point of attack on the
republicans was the nomination or
Sen. Deland TO be secretary OF state
because OF the fact that he was an
employe OF the Newberry committee
and received pay from them for the
work he did. Mr.. DeLand was ac-
quilted OF any wrong doings by the
jury at Grand Rapids, but II made an
opening for the democrats and they
took advantage OF IL.
The ticket nominated is as follows:
Secretary OF State-Catherlne ~
Doran, Detroit.
Attorney General--Walter /. Me-
Kenzie. Lansing.
State Treasurer-Frank Sawyer.
Grand Blanc.
Auditor General--Joseph Brissette,
Bay City
Justice OF the Supreme Court

A Ford car belonging to Erick An
derson of the Columbia location was
taken from the post Office corner by
some thieves last Saturday night and
was found late on Sunday lying I'm
the ditch near Blixt's camp at Chico
gan creek
The car had turned over, smashing
the top, wind shield and badly twist
ing the under parts OF the machine.
While 1t lay in the ditch some other
thieves took the inner tubes, tools,
etc, from the car, so that Mr. Ander-
sons loss is quite heavy.
II is claimed that one OF the motor
cops saw the car when It went over
the bank. Two young men were in Il
and one OF them limped away saying
to the cop that they would return next
day and get the car.
This is the first theft OF it's kind in
long time and the officers are do
ing what they can to run down those
responsible for the taking OF the ma
chine.

POLITICAL FIREWORKS AT 500

There was some fireworks at the
500 this week. Not the kind that siz-
zes, booms. lights up the sky and
then retires into pitch darkness, but
the kind that sizzels, explodes and
brings reply from the person hit;
political fireworks.
Chase s. Osborn and Gov. Ferris
had hold OF the shooting sticks and
they III their charges without any re-
gard TO how hard they banged or
where they hit.
Osborn shot the first boom when he
charged In a speech that Ferris, while
governor. took $500 from the state in
stitute fund for speeches delivered A.

FIRST DEMOCRATIC Gun

Mr.. E. c. Shields OF Lansing. for
many years chairman of the state cen
trail committee, was in Crystal Falls
last Wednesday night and spoke TO a
small audience In the city hall. Mr..
Shields says that campaigning is
difficult on both sides this year for
the reason that people do not seem to
be interested In politics and small
audiences are the rule except when
the top notchers come around.
Mr.. Shields address covered the us
nai democratic arguments put forth
for the reelection OF Pres. Wilson
and on state matters the stock argu-
ment against NewberryizIng the state
was put forth.
His address was dlgniiied through
ont and was listened to by fully as

WIN. McGIBB0N KILLED
Was Crushed To Death Wilde Work
Ing About Ore Cars Tuesday

A shock was thrown into the people
OF the city last Tuesday morning by
the announcement that VIM. McGib-
bons had been crushed TO death while
working about some ore cars on the
Carpenter wye last Tuesday morning
Death came almost instantly, his
wounds being such as to make all
hope OF life of no avail. He was
hurried to the city and to an hospital
but he died on the way, The remains
were taken to st. Erick's hospital and
later removed to the undertaking par
lors.
The story OF the accident Is that
Mr.. McGibbons was a brakeman on
the switch work about the st. Paul
yards. The engine on which he was
working had started TO drop down six
cars OF ore but they failed TO run far
enough OF their own momentum. The
cars stood on one track. about over
the frog, the engine being on another
track. A chain was fastened to the
engine and the other end OF the cars
with the intention of giving the cars
start. Mr.. McGibbons went in to
pull the pin after the cars started in
motion. He evidently was not quick
enough for the chain doubled about
him and crushed his life out in a
twinkle.
The deceased was born at Green Bay,
Wis, in 1882, making him 3S years OF
age at death. He spent his boyhood
days in that vicinity. coming to Crys-
tai Falls about 20 years ago. where he
became acquainted with and married
Miss Ethel Collins. from which un-
ion two children were born who, with
his wife, survive him. For many
years he was employed on the st.
Paul system and has made his home
here continuously.
The funeral occurred from the
church OF the Guardian Angel Thurs
day forenoon and was largely attend
ed by his many friends and neighbors
He was good citizen and popular
with his fellow employees, who extend
10 the bereaved family their sym
pathy.

date on the democratic ticket for
state senator was asked by the labor
organizations OF the upper peninsula
as to his views on several subjects
which interest organized labor, dur
ing the week and Mr.. Gaffney replied
TO them Immediately.
One question was as to his views
on collective bargaining and Mr.. Gaf-
fney replied that he is in favor OF col
lective bargaining. Another asked
HIS views on injunctions TO restrain
labor and he replied that he Is oppos-
ed to such. Another query was as TO
his position on the Cummings-Esch
bill TO which he replied that he favors
government ownership OF the rail-
roads. Another question required Mr.
Gaffney's opinion as TO the justice of
an eight hour day and to this he re-
piled that he fayors such day. The
last question submitted wanted to
know his position on the state con-
stabulary to which Mr.. Gaffney re-
piled that he is not in favor OF its
maintenance longer.

Little Redhead" in the leading roles,
are enjoying the most remarkable run
any stock organization has ever had
in the upper peninsula. having broken
the standing house records in the last
six cities visited. namely, Escanaba.
Munising. Marquette, Calumet, Han
cock and Ishpeming. The company is
playing this week in the Colonial The
atre, Iron Mountain. and are also
breaking the record in the neighbor-
ing city.
A great deal OF their success is no
doubt due to the fact that Miss Sitter
more Familiarity known as "the Little
Redhead" has an exceptionally large
following In this territory, having
played here several times with an
other company. However. the COM
pany is said to be the strongest pop
ular priced show that has ever played
the territory, carrying a great amout
OF special scenery and electrical ef-
fects; putting on the plays with the
same care which marks the produc-
tions given by the biggest one night

PROPOSE THREE LEAGUES
Topper Country Base Ball Fans Want
a L. Il. Post Series

From the copper country comes the
suggestion that three base ball leagues
be formed next year in the upper Pc
ninsula. One league is to be formed
OF the copper country teams. Calumet
Observation-Disclosures Linden. Ke-
weenaw and Hancock.
Another league of Marquette, Ish-
peming, Negaunee and Escanaba is
suggested and third to include Me-
nominee. Iron Mountain, Crystal Falls
and Ironwood. The last named affair
would be a shoe string league, reach
ing from one tip OF the peninsula TO
the other, the jumps being very long
ones.
Crystal Falls fans do not look with
favor upon any such league. A
gentleman who has had much exper-
ience with base ball says that any
league arrangement should be made
according to the natural rivalry be-
tween the teams and compactness.
For example, an ideal league would
be one composed OF Iron River, Crys-
tai Falls, Iron Mountain and Norway
There is the natural rivalry between
all four teams and especially between
the two Iron county and the two Die
kinson county teams. not to mention
the ancient, well rooted rivalry bet
ween Crystal Falls and Iron Noun
tain. Besides there is compactness.
When any one of the three Mar
quette range teams play together.
Marquette. Ishpeming or Negaunee.
there Is always lot OF interest a.
mong tho fans, but when an outsider
butts in there isn't that interest In the
game and the attendance drops.
Il is very doubtful IL Crystal Falls
Will go into any league that shuts-out
Iron River and the attendance bet
ween these two towns goes long
way towards making the game pay.
According TO base bell fans up this
way the outline OF the copper country
fans doesn't meet with approval.

Give Tone Demonstrations

One OF the most unique musical per-

will occur at the City Hall Auditor
ium on Oct. 20, when Claire Lillian
Petler, the famous soprano who sings
for the Edison, will appear in person
and sing the same songs in connection
with the Edison.
These demonstrations are said TO
be wonderful by those who have heard
them. Two years ago Betsy Lane
Sheppard made a short trip to the
east end OF the peninsula and sang
with the Edison. People who heard
her said that they couldn't tell when
she was singing and when the Edison
was reproducing her voice as she
would start a song and at intervals
simply make her lips go, the Edison
reproducing her voice perfectly. All
who witnessed these demonstrations
said they were wonderful.
Miss Petler will demonstrate as Mrs
Sheppard did and will be accompanied
by Miss Madeline Sokoloff, violinlst,
a performer OF rare talent, also an
Edison performer
This demonstration will be given in
the City Hall Auditorium. and admis-
sion tickets can be secured free of
charge from l.. r. Mroz.
