DARRAGH RENOMINATED,
Eleventh District Convention in
this City Tuesday a Gathering of Sturdy Republicans.
Chairman Alward makes an able Address—Tarriff to be an Issue.
The eleventh, district republican
congressional convention held ia this
city Tuesday brought together a fine
body of representative men frorn the
central and northwestern part of the
state. Three-fourths of the delegates
were on hand Monday evening and
many were the reminiscences of earlier
days that passed the rounds, the city
band serenading and bidding welcome
to our city the many distinguished
guests here assembled.
' When Chas. W. Giddings, chairman
of the congressional committee, caLed
the convention to order at eleven
o'clock Tuesday in the Doherty opera
house a full delegation was present
from each of the twelve counties of
the district. Ex-Mayor Dennis E.
Alward of this city was chosen chairman and O. W. Vining of Montcalm
secretary.
The speech of chairman Alward was
replete with good things, arousihg the
convention to enthusiasm which manifested itself in generous applause
His tribute to President Roosevelt was
eloquent and inspiring as indeed was
. allof his splendid address, and because of the food for thought it contained we give imperfectly one or two
• of its points.
After expressing his appreciation of
the honor accorded him and in the
name of the people of this city welcoming the delegates to 0 are Mr. Alward congratulated them oh the
Unexampled   prosperity   enjoyed  by
' all the people—Democrats and Bcpiib-
licans alike—In consequence of Republican administration. Speaking of the
impending campaign he discussed the
democratic position of hostility to the
Republican policy of protection, quoting from speeches' made in congress
within a fortnight to show that the
Experience of the past, fresh as it is
in the minds of all, would not deter
the opponents of the Republican party
in this campaign from raising the
same old cry of practical free trade*
The Republicans, he said, welcomed
the assault and would go forward in
the contest full of zeal and confidence,
Committees were chosen as follows:
Permanent organization and order
of business—C. L. Bailey of Antrim, C.
R. Burleson of Missaukee, S. C. Kirkbride of Clare, .1. H. Monroe of Grand
Traverse, W. F. Johnson of Roscommon.
Credentials—"Frank Kenyon of Charlevoix, Ralph Case of Grand Traverse,
O. L. Burdick of Isabella, O. B. Fuqua
of Mecosta, F. A. Miller of Montcalm.
"Resolutions—J. H. Thompson of Osceola, F. J. LaCleer of Kalkaska, Edgar Pierce of Mecosta, I. A. "Fancher
of Isabella, Scott Swartout of Montcalm.
In an able address T. H. McCall presented the name of A. B. Darragh to
the convention for nomination for a
third term.   One after the other the
The resolutions adopted endorsed
Roosevelt and commended the work
of Darragh.
A committee, consisting of J. A.
Monroe of Grand Traverse, W. F.
Johnson of Roscommon and J. R. Herrick of Olare, just as the resolutions
were adopted, escorted Congressmen
Darragh and George B. Covell to the
p atform, who on being presented to
the convention by chairman Alward,
paying a fitting tribute to Mr. Dar-
ragh's worth by saying "the eleventh
district honors herself in honoring
you," were both most cordially received, the former in a fitting manner
accepting the proffered honor and the
latter winning many friends for the
way in which he received the action
of the convention, frankly saying he
thought the two term precedent a
poor one.
The following congressional committee was chosen: O. L. Bailey of
Antrim, J. M. Harris of Charlevoix, S.
O. Kirkbride of Clare, W. M Smith of
Grand Traverse, d. "N". McCall of Gratiot, A. E. Goram of Isabella, F. J.

Woes .of the Telephone Girls.
The following is a poem read at the
Wise Farmers' club that met at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John  Wilson
south of Clare Tuesday.    We publish
it for its merit and the aptness with
which it sets forth 'phone conditions:
Hello! Is this the Farmers' Club of Olare?
We will talk to you, but can't be there.
You wanted an essay or something else;
We will send you this composed by ourselves.
A telephone, they say, Is a handy thing;
Just walk up and give It a ring.
When central answers, take your time,-
You are not the only oue on the 11:.e.
Others may call and want something too;
They expect an answer as well as you.
You may think we are cross but don't mean to
be. ,      •
That's the way of a telephone girl, you see.
The rural lines are the farmers' delight;.
They talk with their neighbor from morning till
night.
When another party wishes to talk with them,
They have to wait and call a?ain.
If central tells you the line is busy,
Don't get angry but take it easy.
It is hard sometimes to wait for the line,   "
But only one can talk at a time.
When some one is  talking,  wait till they'r
through;
Many a time they have waited for you.       >
When you're not talking don't hang around;
We can't ring through with the receiver down
We have our troubles as well as the rest,
So don't complain—we do our best.
An Invitation we extend to ail-
When you are in town give us a Call.
We will show you what we havo to do,
And how it trtes our patience too.

L. Kelley^of Farwell as a Candidate for the Republican
Nomination.
It is more than twenty years since,

Kelley of Farwell.
Twenty-nine years ago a young man
completing his course at the University of Michigan, Dr. .Kelley located
in our couniy and in the years since
he has had ho small part in the general advancement, especially along
agricultural lines. Today in addition
to a large practice, he has a fine farm

Dr. Kelley has always been a sturdy
republican. In 1888. h» was elected
supervisor for Surrey township and
has served in that capacity ever since
except in 1900 and has always during
that time been a prominent member
of the board of supervisors. For four
years he served as President of the
vii age of Farwell and is now regarded
as one of the old republican war
horses, always in evidence at tbe conventions, and has been secretary of the
counjiy committee.
The Clare representative district
consists of the counties of Gladwin,
Roscommon and Clare. Gladwin has
seven votes in the nominating convention, Eoscommon two and Clare
nine. The nine delegates selected
from this county wi«l loyally support
tho doctor for the nomination and
from the sentiments gleaned from the
other counties the nomination of Dr.
Kelley seems assured.
A Noble Life E
"Artistic work in photographs at De-
Vogt*s new Studio, Jacksou block.' tf
in Grant township and a ranch of 1,200
acres in Surrey. Garticld and Ijincoln.
Last fall he, appointed by the board
of supervisors, took charge of Clare
county's agricultural exhibit at the
state fair, winning third place for
grains arid vegetables even in.,competition with the older counties of the
state. A member of Surrey grange,
the members of this agricultural society have honored him by electing
him master of the Clare County Pomona.
Last Sunday morning during the
church service the, shocking news
came to. the family of Mrs. James
Louch that she had died suddenly - of
appop exy the previous evening, Saturday April 30th, at the home of a
sister near Cass City, who is very low
at this writing,. MrSj. Louch had been
visiting there, and with her father,
for two weeks. Saturday she complained of not fee ing well, of having
headache and about supper time remarked that she would lie down. '"She
was found a few minutes laielt lying
across the bed where she had expired
without a struggle.
Her intentions had" been to return
home On Monday, but what a different
home-coming awaited the loved ones
when on 'Monday her remains were
conveyed to this city. For a number
of years she had been in failing health
but' such a sudden demise was un-
thought of.
Mary Crindland Louch was born
May 31st, 1852, at Port Rowan, Ont.,
and was married to James Louch December 24,1871. To them were born
five children, two of whom survive,
Miss Louie, and Frank, both of this
city, also an aged father, three bro-,
thers, George Crindland of Cass City,
Wm. of Spokane, Wash.*' James   of
Jacksonville, 111., and three sisters,
Mrs. Delia Harriman of Detroit, Mrs.
Chas. Banson of Tilsonburg, Can., and
Mrs. James Beagh of Cass City who is
now very ill.
Mr. and Mrs. Louch came to Clare
about twenty-two years ago, and during these years she has endeared herself to a host of friends who now
mourn the loss of a dear friend who
was a'ways ready to lend a helping
hand. She has been a worthy member
of the Congregational church for
twelve years and when her health permitted she was always to be found at
the church services. In sickness and
death one would almost unconciously
feel that to have the loving, helpful
sympathy which emanated from her
would help them to bear the burden.
She belonged to the Ladies' Union and
in this society always did her share.
No words can speak too highty of. the
help which she was always so ready to
give, but though she is dead, "the influence of her noble life can not die
and will live forever in the hearts of
those who knew and loved her. A
loving wife, a kind mother, a. noble
fr-end, a true christi m has gone from
among us.
On Tuesday afternoon at two
o'clock funeral services' were held at
the home, Eev. A, L. Woodlock assisted by Eev. W. J. Hathaway speaking works of comfort to* the sorrowing
Tela'ives and friends, and the remains
were interred in Cherry Grove cemetery.
Most beautiful floral offerings were
made by the Ladies' Union, school
teachers, pupils of Miss Louch's room,
memb ts of Myrtle S. S. class, clerks
in Davy & Co's store, Eastern Star,
Foresters, Fire Department and Lewis
( ass club besides many other tokens
from loving friends.
The sympathy of the entire community is with the family in their sad
b-reavement.
