Note Carefully What You Must Do on April 2 if You Intend to Vote at the Primaries. *,

T he p rim ary law, so called, passed by the la s t leg islature, cnangea m aterially the system o r m ode of appo in ting officers. I t provides for party enrollm ent the first !noaday of April, 1906, and every ^ o years uiereaftea*, and for two prim ary elections, the second Tuesday of June and first T uesday of Septem ber, l:tu6, and every tw o yea rs the reafte r. To vote a t these p rim aries one m ust be enrolled on a party roll. A person m«.y enroll oh prim ary day if sick or unavoidably absen t from precinct enrollm ent day, o r if m ajo rity is a tta ined a fte r enrollm ent 4&y-

U nless the vo te rs in general th roughout th e s ta te take cognizance th e re will be thousands of qualified electors d isfranchised a t th e prim a­ries held in June, to nom inate s ta te officers. At th e election to be held April 2, on ,th e question of ca tling-a convention to revise the con­stitu tion of th e s ta te of M ichigan, voters will b.: expected to enroll, by

•registering th e ir party affiliations,.color and nativ ity . The ac t of the teg istature responsible fo r th is enrollm ent, a lso provides th a t those who do not enroll a t th is April election will be disqualified a t th e June prim aries. It is genera lly believed th a t the vote in the April election will be extrem ely light owing to lack of in te res t in th e question to be voted upon. If, how ever, the voters in general ta k e due notice of th e enroll­m ent fea tu re above m entioned, th e vote should be an unusually large one. .

U nder th e provisions o f-the act, nom inations fo r city, county, legis­lative ari;^pbhgrcssIonal officers, and governor and lieu tenan t governor may be m ade by dir-ect vote a t the prim ary election. O ther officers

. m ust be nom inated under the old eonvontion system .Ar the June prle iary , 1906, th e question of how g o v e r ^ r and lieu­

te n an t goveraoF-Bhall be nom inated Is determ ined by m ajority vote of . th e enrolled voters of each .-arty. ,\i the sam e prim ary the voters vote

d irect for th e ir choice for party nom inees for 1906, for these tw o of- ^fleers. If the d irec t nom ination idea receives a m ajo rity of all the votes

cast by any liuriy. then the cand idates receiving a p lu ra lity of and a t •least 40 i>er cent of all. th e voles ca.st by the enrolled voters of said party shall be the nom inees of said party . O therw ise the nom inations ot gavernor and lieu tenan t governor shall be m ad e 'a t s ta te convention, as are the o ther s ta te officers.

A t th is sam e prim ary the delegates arc elected (bj' d irect vote) \o th e county conventions to be held for the purpose of electing dele­gates to the s ta te conventions. I t is a t th is prim ary th a t the question of d irec t nom ination of any officer is subm itted to ithe enrolled voters.

T ha t the question of d irec t nom ination o f city, county, legislative or congressional officers may bo subm itted a t the Ju n e prim ary , a peti­tion for the sam e is required. Said potitiou m ust oontairi th e signatu res of as m any enrolled voters ap equ:il J»0 per cen t of all th e votes .C-tst for said p a rty ’s candidate for governor ut la st preceding election in said city, county o r d istric t. T he )ietltion musts be p resen ted to the c-.ty

-o r county clerk o r secre tary of s ta te , as the case may be. th irty days -before th e Ju n e prim ary.

T he prim ary: lo r nom inating all county o r d is tric t officers by d irect vote w here it was previously decided a t a June prim ary to so nom inate, shall be held on the first Tuesday of Septem ber, 1906, and every two years the reafte r. T he prim ary to nom inate city officers by d irect vote shall be.he ld the second T uesday preceding the elocUon of th e same.

To secure the p rin ting on th e parly ballo t of the nam e of a_CMdl- daio for any office w here the nom ination is to be by d irec t vote, the candidate m ust p resen t to the clerk of city o r county o r ''s ta te a peti­tion of en rriled voters o f said party , equal to 2 per cen t of th e to tal party vote lo r governor a t the la s t election In said city, county, d is tric t o r s ta te . If a d is tr ic t consists o f two o r m ore counties, the petition m ust have 2 per cen t in each co u n ty .. P etitions m ust be a t least fifteen days before the prim ary. *

N om ination papers fo r cand idates of new parties m ust have a t lea^i I per cen t of to ta l vote ca s t in said city, county, d is tr ic t o r slate .

P rim aries shall be conducted and regu lated as nea r as m ay be in every j)articu lar as nrovlJp'l by fo r th e regulation and conduct of general elections. The reg lstra tio ji boards have charge of the party en- rollmfeut. .\lt officers th a t have to do and provide for general elections a re to do and provide fo r prim ary' elections. All expenses of p r fm v ie s

The adoption of d irect nom ination by one political party does not bind any o th e r political party .

In o rder tha t a vo ter ta&y ta k e part in any of prim aries be m ust be enrolled on party roll.

SjlVED PIT UFE— That’s what a prominent druggist said of Scott’s Emulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don’t use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and s im i l a r expressions are made.sb often in conn^- tion with Scott’s Emulsion that they Are worthy of occasional n o te . From infancy to old age Scott's Emuloion offers a reliable means of remedying im­proper and weak develop­ment. restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing WEiste. The a c t i o n of Scott’s Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul­sion itself. What it does it does through nourish­ment—the kind of nourish­ment that cannot be ob­tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott’s Emulsion and gatl^r good from it.

Yes, only for th a t single barrier, sectional p rejud ice. Mollie m ust have long e re now yielded hefse lf to the destiny th a t seem ed bearing h e r on.' She knew i t could n o t la s t m uch longer.,

SHOULD A HOBSEBE CLIPPED?

C U PP IN G IN TH E EARLY SPRING RECOMMENDED BY LEADING

VETERINAPIANS.

All Thinking Men Readily Reeegnixa I Its A dvantages.

I “A horse is a valuable asseL and should receive th e b es t ca re possible. H e should ' t o well fed, com fortably stab led , carefully groomed and clipped In the early spring . If he deceives th e se a tten tions h e w ill work w ell and Im prove in value. A' ;horse lives u n d ^ artificial conditions. In his wild s ta te he required none of these a tten tluns . for he Was able to look out fo r him self. T he doihesticated aniipal. - to in g w orked under condi­tions th a t a re in them selves artificial, m ust be k ep t in condition fo r such work.

The clipping of a horse in the early spring is now conceded by all the leading veterinarian s to be a s essen­tia l to a horse’s w ell being as shoeing him or giving him a com fortable bed to lie on. F arm ers in. EIngland and F rance have been clipping thetir horses fo r m any years, and A m erican farm ers a r e . not slow to realize its advantages. A clipped horse dries out rapidly a fte r a ha rd day 's work, and will re s t com fortably and he re ­freshed for the w ork th e following day. An und ipped horse is liable to ca tch the heaves, pneum onia and a ll so rts of colds, rheum atism , etc. More

'especia lly is th is -so in the early spring, w hen h is ha ir is long nnd he Is “s o f t" If w orked hard he will per; sp ire freely and the m oisture will to held by his long hair, and the food th a t should go to .flourish him w ill be used to replenish the b ea t th a t is be­ing constantly taken from his body by th e m ass c f cold w et hair. If clipped, the perspiration, wdll evapor­ate- alm ost as soon as secreted , and when p u t In the stab le he re s ts com­fortably and his food does him good^

Some years ago a Buffalo s tree t car com pany tested the value of clipping in th e following m anner: They own­ed 500 horses, nnd 250 of these were clipped :early In th e sp ring and 250 Were n o t clipped. A carefu l record w as k ep t of resultB, and i i w as found th a t o f th e 250 und ipped h o rse s '162 w ere afflicted w ith c o u ^ s and imeu- monia, w hile o f th e 250 clipped not one case of sickness w as rep o rte d .'

A m an would n o t expect to enjoy very good hea lth If he did hard man­ual w ork clothed w ith heavy under­w ear, a heavy su it and a fu r o v e re a t , and a f te r persp iring freely, as. he naturally would, go to sleep w ithout removiDg sam e. I t is Just as ridicu­lous to expect a horse to be In perfect health It worked under th e sam e con­ditions.

If yon would g e t th e to s t re tn m s from your in v e s tm ^ t in your horse, tre a t him right, and t o su re and clip him in the ea rly spring - A flrstp class borse-cUpping m achine can to bought a t alm ost any hardw are store fo r less th a n $7.00.—H orse Review, Dec. 5th, 1905.
