FAMILY FAREWELL RECEPTION SATURDAY EYE:
• (By Miles M. Callagha'n
The attempted recount of the votes
-cast for Secretary of State and Attorney-General has created .so much
newspaper comment and general interest of the public that I am writing
the story ..as I have interpreted, so
'that your readers might have a clear
understanding of just what was attempted in this highly controversial
matter.  '. ' '
The results of the election for the
office of Secretary of State in the No;
vemher election as shown in the of--
■fice of the. Secretary of State, gave
'Orville E:- Atwood, the Republican
candidate^ about 10,600 more votes
than wer$ Cast for General Guy M.
Wilson, and following the election
there wai considerable talk about a
re-count of-the votes cast for this office. In the meantime^ it developed'
that the contest for Sheriff of'Wayne
County was very close, and finally the
Republican candidate was declared
elected by a very small majority, and
the defeated * Democratic candidate
immediately asked for a re-count, and
while this was pending,-General Wilson filed -0* petition for a re-count for
the-office*'of Secretary of State, posted -the amount of money as provided
by law, and demanded that the State
Board of Canvassers proceed to recount the votes, and immediately the
Republican candidate for Sheriff of
Wayne County, appealed to the
Supreme Court, as he did not want
the ballot boxes in Wayne County
disturbed until hla re-count could
proceed.
Sec. 4 of Article -16 of the constitution, provides that the Legislature
in Joint Convention, shall decide the
question of what persons were elected as canvassed by the State Board
of Canvassers;     That   would   mean
that the vojtes cast for a state'officer
must be re-counted.by   the* Legislature in Joint   Convention,   and   the
Supreme Court so decided.   That immediately threw "the question of who
was elected, Secretary of State into-
the lap of th.e Legislature, and after
this  decision, Attorney  General Patrick O'Brien who had been defeated
by nearly   60,000   majority,   fifed   a
petition for re-count against Harry S
Toy, his successful   Republican   opponent, and other state officials who
were • defeated in the November election, threatened to file petitions with']
the Governor,    and   the   indication^
were at one- time,   that   the   entire
question of iv;ho was elected for state
officers in    the    November    election
might be up,to tho Legislature.   Immediately the official life at Lansing
was thrown' into a turmoil. Charges
and  countercharges flew thick and
fast.   Intemperate and^ ill-advised per-
, sons advocated radical measures, and
-in the midst 'ot this turmoil, Governor
Comstock called a Special Session of
the Legislature to determine who was
elected to the contested .offices.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Bates was filled with friends and
neighbors at. a farewell party tendered them -Saturday night. At an early
hour they began to gather until nearly every home, in the neighborhood/
was represented and the house filled
to capacity The time was spent in
visiting and playing games..
, At midnight a lunch of sandwiched
pickles and plenty of cakes was served by the ladies. About one o'clock
the party broke up with many good
wishes for the Bates family in their
new 'undertaking. The girls 'will be'
much missed from school and Sunday school, but we" know they will
make many new friends in their new
schools.

others. This will continue to be .one
of my cardinal principles. If you

shall appreciate, more than I can explain, anything you may do in my
favor. You may rest assured that
any trust you may continue to impose in me will never be betrayed.

etc., and for other general farm purposes. \ - _      -

reports of our financial condition and

"The organization of the production credit associations is one of the
steps in behalf of agriculture that
farmers have long contended for,
that is a chance to obtain credit at
low rates and on reasonable terms
for their current or seasonal farm
needs. The association is organized
on a permanent basis and is not a
temporary or emergency set-up. It is-
up to the farmers to take an active
part in directing its affairs," and the
annual meeting should be / well' attended.
"The association has members in
Clare, Gratiot, Isabella, Mecosta, and
Montcalm counties. This Is a cooperative association - which belongs to
its members.- It waa organized to
make sound agricultural loans, at as
favorable a rate; ofy"interest as posj

association -may pay dividends to its
stockholders."
