J! LIVELY CONTEST!
Candidates For The 'Constitutional Convention'
Too Numerous for Comfort.
Hard 'Struggle 1,-bked foi* at Gladwin' next
-    Tuesday,
These are busy days among the
Republicans of the. 28th senatorial
district, and it's all because; .very
county has an aspirant for the
three month's job at Lansing, making a new state constitution,,
A few days age a ..state paper intimated that three counties in the
district with a majdluty of the votes
in the convention had'a  cinch,  and

As a parting before.Claret big col-1
ebratioq on Wednesday next, Thb
Coubimr need only to' say that all is
ready, and the dawn of 'the 14tb
awaited with full confidence that the
day will bring to our fair city such a
number of visitors as will tax to Its
fullest capacity to care for, But,,
please remember that Clare's . capacity in this direction is extraord-

GEOEGE  J.   CUMMINS,
Whom the Eepubllcans  of Olare   County,  as well as  Many Personal
Friends Hope to see in the Constitutional Convention.
that such three counties included
Olare. In other words the writer
Sized up the situation as being one
one in which the counties in question would name the delegates. Latest reports indicate that the number
of candidates throughout the district
has rather interfered with the idea
first advanced, and now it appears
to be evsry-body's race, although
Clare's candidate has so far been
able to demonstrate his capability
and popularity as to feel assured
that he will be a winner.
The Clare comity convention at
Harrison yesterday endorsed George
J. Cummins, ex-prosecuting attorney, and. respected member of the
Clare County bar. The Courier
has several times intimated its disgust with the fact that under the
act of the legislature. "No Democrat
need apply ," in a supposed nonpartisan affair, yet it is a pleasure
to say a word of commendation for
a man'of the breath 'and standing of
George J. Cummin's.
The Democrats will have no ticket
in the field, and the minority must
rest content with the action ofthe
Gladwin convention, and it is to be
hoped that Clare's candidate will be
successful.
At yesterday's convention at Harrison to select the delegates, Mr.
Oummins named the following:
D. E. Alward, Clare.
L. Ii. Kelley,.Farwell.
Sup. Huber, Hamilton.
Wm. Temple, Redding.
John Qbinn, Harrison.
J. F. Balsley, Arthur.
The resolutions declared for
Clare's candidate, and in effect demanded that all new propositions
which might be placed iu the constitution should submitted to the
people separately. In other words,
it would appear as if the Clare Re^
publicans don't have an abundance
of faith in the ultimate adoption of
the convention's work.

comforts " necessary to complete a
