Griggs, Jackeon, Mich. W. H. McCord does not regard the new trust as a matter of such great moment. He says it does not involve the Omaha Thouses, at least the McCord-Brady com- pany, and he oth to belleve that the big Chicago houses are in it. “Of course I have seen or heard nothing of this,” sald Mr. McCord, “but I do not belleve that such big firms as the Reld-Murdoch people and the Franklin MacVeagh concern would care to lose their identity by wmerging in such & way. The orfanization will not make any difféerence to us out here. We expect to go on selling the goods as usual.’ Explosions in New Zealand.

Governor Robert N. La Follette will be placed in nomination by H. W. Chynoweth of Madison and will recelve an overwhelm- ing majority of the yotes cast. An esti- mate of his strength gives him about 800 votes. John M. Whitehead of Janesville, leader of the so-called stalwart faction, which is opposed to the state administration, will likely be placed In nomination end will receive the voles of the minority. For lleutenant governor Joseph O. David- #on of Soldiers’ Grove is the only candidate talked of. Candidates for Minor Places. There are several candidates-for each place on the balance of the ticket. For secretary of state, Walter ‘L. Hodser of Mondovi is said to be in the lead and will probably gét the momination. He has for opponefits Joseph R.

Host of ‘Milwaukee seems to be leading by a long margin: For raflioad commissioner the name of Nels 'Nelson of Washburn is the most prominently mentloned. Prof. Charles P. Cary of Delevan is ad- mittedly in the lead for the nomination for stperintendent of publie Instruction over L. D. Harvey, the present incumbent. Contest Over the Platform. About the only real fight, if any, prom- ises to be in the committee on resolutions. Two of the plank! id to have been agreed upon favor the enactment of & primary election law and the equalization of taxes. A lively time is e!m“d over & resolu- tion which the stalwarts will probably pre- sent demanding the return to the United States senate of John C. Spooner. While Mr., Spooner wrote a letter two years ago unalterably deciding not to be a candlda for re-election, he has a powerful follow- ing among -both factions who desire his return. Leading La Follette supporters say that If Senator Spoomer can be endorsed it- will be necessary for him to make a declaration by which he will stand on the platform.
