o'clock this afternoon when th6 convention was called to order.   The pre-

mills a few y«ars ago, and is now a
prosperous merchant aud farmer. He
was born in New York state forty-two
years ago, came to Michigan in 1878,
settled in Olare village where he h'-is
ever since resided, always industrious,
always frugal, always public spirited,
always generous, and these qualities
aDd his staunch Republicanism and
rigid honesty, are what sent him over
to the senatorial conyention with such
loyal home backing and won for him
so many frieuds there. He has a
pleasant home in Clare. His wife is
as public spirited as he is himself.
