Excellent Attendance lor Spring Conven-:
tion of Minority Party.
A well attended convention of the
Democrats- of Clare .county was
held at the city hall on Saturday,
and while no candidate for county
%30rnmissiGr.Gr of- sohooJU. -was made,
and for the very- good reason that
the party did not have an 'eligible
candidate, yet the delegates appeared much Interested in ihe matter and
passed resolutions which ' indicate
that the minority party will vote as
they please between the two .Republican candidates.
Ghajnnan Mason,, of the county
committee, called the convention to
order, and named H. H. Bogue, of
Harrison, ; as chairman. J. T.
Brown, of Grant, was made temporary secretary. The usual commit-
tees were appointed and a recess
taken until one o'clock. -
• Upoa reassembling 'the temporary
organization was made permanent,
and the report of the credential committee received, and accepted, showing present about twenty-five delegates.
The committee- upon resolutions
made the following report and which
was adopted:
The Democrats of Olare county
by their representatives in- convention assembled, once more testify
their devotion to the time honored
principles ofi the party, and commend such principles to the tbought-
ul consideration of every American citizen.
We reiterate tour prior declarations that the public schools t>fto«
{day are suffering' throughout our
state because of being dragged inio
the" mire of,, partisan politics,
and we go upon record in unqualified terms against the complete sur^
render of our educational institutions to the control of politicians!
ever looking for an opportunity to
draw salaries from the public treasury. . ,
We believe the board of ouperviS?
ors of Clare county is and should.be
the sole judge of the salary for any
county official, and we condemn the
repeated attempts pf the . present
school commissioner to secure an
increase in pay in tho midst of bis
term of office.
We believe that tha school officers
of the several districts of the county,
are in a pos'tion to know the ability
of their respective districts/with reference to the salary that shall be
paid teachers, and deplore the fact
that interference from official sources has in many instances compelled
such districts to pay beyond their
resourced.
We condemn the action of tlie
commissioners throughout the state
in so juggling the laws as to make
impossible in many of the counties
a contest for the office", because of
alleged luck of qualification, arid
suggest to tbe legislature that there
are others in the state besides the
professional office seeker, that have
abundant qualifications -to superintend the rural scbool. ]
We commend most hetifilly the
movement now* on foot iu Clare
county upon the part of a large number of conscientious Republicans tq
release, themselves from servitude
to political bosses, nnd congratulate them upon their effort to adopt
the time honored Democratic doctrine of separation of our public
.schools from politics.
' With a full desire to leave entirely
to the whole people the question of
the selection of a commissioner of
schools without endorsement upon
the part of the.Democracy as an" organization of any candidate, we sub-
mit'that the voters should give to
the selection of this very important
officer their most %uidid and . cartful consideration. , ■'
' At the conclusion of the report a
resolution was adopted authorizing
the county committee to later fill
the.place upon the ticket if 'deemed
advisable by a majority vote of the
full committee.
Speeches were made Ky .several
upon the most prominent question
before the convention, and it seemed
to be the opinioh;that as the opposition was to produce two candidates
to tho people that Democrats' Bhould
pursue tlie same policy as in tho
past, making as their' selection the
besViriati, without any interference
upon the part of party leaders.
A. j. Lacy was elected as delegate
The independent Republican convention at Harrison yesterday was
quite a success in point of attendance, ' about forty being present.
A. H. Aldrich was nominated and
accejpted. Chairman CarncrbsB
informs7"T"ai_~C6uBiE"it'" "that" "prospects a*e hourly "growing brighter
for the success oi their candidate,
and scores of Republicans are intending to take the field,for the
nomine^ of their convention.
