But the new primary election law
provides for the nomination of delegates to district conventions "within
15 days after the September primary?
These delegates are to be selected at
county conventions whose delegates
are elected by the voters of the respective parties at the September
primary.
There are, however, some conflicts
in the law relative to various conventions. Chairman Diekema and Secretary Alward of the state central
committee are looking up the matter
and a decision will be obtained in due
time from competent authority. Following such dcission the Clare county republican committee will doubtless take sueh, action as may be
necessary.
Evedently there will be no nomination of senatorial or representative
candidate in this district till after the
September primary.

Rose Eva, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
James Hickey, to Glenn GenungOf
Alma, Rev. Fr. McAllister officiating.
Benedict Hbrne of Vernon was bridesmaid and John sHickey, brother of
the bride, best man.
Tbe bride has spent most of her life
in Clare and those who have seen her
grow from childhood to womanhood,
into the high scnool, into the Michigan telephone office and then for a
short time at Flint on similar duty-
all have only kind words to say of-
hejP self-possessed, womanly attainments. She changes home and name
with naught but kindest wishes for
the home where she shall preside.
The groom is a Pere Marquette operator at Alma.   ,
Mr. and Mrs. Genung left on the*
8:24 a. m. Pete Marquette train on a
trip to his parental home at Muskegon and later will set up a hpme of
their own at Alma. „The many young
people at the train to do, them nuptial honors with rice and other sundries was substantial congratulation
in which the Sentinel with many
more joins.

County prohibition may not meet
all expectations elsewhere, but I
want to tell you it has worked wonders for Cadillac, as I see it, and the
other officers. It's a mighty certain
thing that there's no more public
drinking, and there is practically no
drunkenness here. The midnight
prowlsrs we used to have ta k^ep
track of are not seen or heard anywhere. When men are not drunk or
drinking they keep quiet and usually
go home at some reasonable hour.
It's quite a different town and a better one, is Cadillac now as compared
with what it was the first of .May.^
