A LIGHT VOTE
WAS POLLED
Very
Little Interest
Election.
Taken In
Uut Primary Heforui Wai CarrUd
Delegate Elected to County
Convention.
An axceedingly light vote was polled at
the election held in this city Tuesday
showing that there was but very little
.interest taken in the preliminary work of
a reform in the primaries and of the elec
tions to follow, however the vote, what
there was of it, was overwhelmingly in
favor of the proposition, thore being 149
votes cast for primary reform and 10
votes against.
The vote in favor of direct nominations
on all other propositions carried in about
the same ratio.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
'by the voters while in the booths trying
to make up the list of delegates to the
county convention.
In every ward a large number of names
were olaced on the various ballots, 64
ipereons being mentioned as candidates in
lthe third ward and over 40 in the second
Iln the 64 names mentioned in the third
ward as delegates to the republican
'county convention, there were five demo
crats on the republicans tickets besides
names of several republicans who reside
in the two other wards of the city, show
. ing conclusively the need of some con
certed action in choosing delegates for
the several wards
' THE DELEGATES
In the first ward the following named
(persons were chosen as delegates to the
i republican convention: John Arnwine,
0. J. Barker, Art Foss, H. L. Sowles, J.
. H. Armstrong, John Scott and E. E. Hud
son. The democratic delegates elected
were I. L. Hubbell. Art Brown, Daniel
(Cameron, Fred L. Spencer, Wm. Shaw
: and Chas. Hoyt.
In the second ward the delegates
'chosen by the republicans were Brinton
lF. Hall, Qeorge W. Moulton, Joseph An
Sell, W. I. Benedict, Oscar A. Day and
David E. Wilson. Democrats seemed to
ba wanting in this ward as no names
were voted for at all.
In tbe third ward the following persons
were selected as delegates to the repub
lican county convention: Wm. A. Wilder,
E. B. Lapham, Fred A. Washburn, W.
jLee Cusser, Fred W. Howard, and
Dwight C. Sheldon. The democrats
chosen for delegates were W. F. Bricker,
Frank J. Luick, Frank Connell, Harry
Connell and Louis H. Stone.
The vote on various propositions look
ing to primary reform was a light one but
it showed the desire of the citizens of
Balding along that line almost the entire
vote regsitering in favor of the same
Many people who would have voted had
forgotten the date although it was well
advertised in the Banner. The future of
primary reform is assured but it is too
bad that there was not a larger vote
polled throughout the state in the interest
of this seemingly popular movement.
The cry has gono forth f jr primary re
form, but the vote in Michigan, especially
in Balding shows an apathy along that
dine that makes indications show the cov
ted prize is but the creation of the minds
of a few.

A MYSTERIOUS BLAZE
l'ere Marquette Halli-oari llrldue IM
covered ou Fire Yenterdity Mornlnc
Yesterday morning at 5 o clock the
blowing of the fire whistle aroused a good
ly number of our citizens from their early
morning slumbers and an inquiry revealed
the fact that the Pere Marquette bridge
over Flat river was on fire The firemen
responded promptly to the call but men
with buckets had the blaze extinguished
before the company arrived.
It was thought by some that the fire
was caused by cinders frum a passin.:
train but the fact that no train had crossed
the bridge since 2 o'clock in the mornin-
would seem to knock that theory in th ?
head.
The fire was located about 14 feet from
the north end of the bridge and when dis
covered had succeeded in doing consider-
ble damage to the same although no:
nough uo tie up the trains.
If some person with a grudge against
the company took this way of getting even
in the hopes of putting one of their trains
into the river, no effort should be spared
in bringing the guilty party to justice as
several lives and much property might
have easily been lost if the fire had not
been discovered when it was. To say
the least, there is a certain amount of
mystery hanging about the fire to war
rant a careful investigation and should a
guilty party be apprehended the Banner
is of the opinion that a liberal use of hemp
would be about the proper treatment for
the occasion.
AMUSEMENTS
The Benson & Flynn Stock Co. have
been booked to play an engagement of
three nights at the opera house beginning
June 18-19-20. Their reportorie is first
"Hazel Kirke," the best play ever written
possesses clean humor and inspiring love
scenes "Loyal Hearts," a startling ro
mantic drama of the rebellion of 1793 in
four acts, and "My Aunt from Brazil.'
the funniest play ever written, overflow
ing with comedy and side splitting situa
tions. Every member of the company is an
actor of recognized abilility having had
years of experience.
Admission 15-25-35 cents. Seats on
sale Friday morning at Hotel Belding.
May Uet Auother Train.
Station Agent John Lemley says it is
possible that when the next change in the
time schedule on the Pere Marquette is
made another train is liable to be put on
which will accomodate Belding people
desiring to leave Belding in the morning
for Detroit and other places along the line
and returning at night. It is expected
that the train will be run from Greenville
as the starting point in the morning and
arriving there from Detroit at about 1 1
o'clock at night.
The train, if one is put on, should f-tart
fim Howard City and return there at
night the same as formerly. C. J. Seely,
who was home from Big Rapids two weeks
ago, said he was informed by one of the
officials with whom he talked in Detroit.
that the train will be put on June 15th.
It is hoped the company can see the way
clear to give us the service.
Remember The Ordinance.
Last Monday while riding a bicycle on
Pleasant street, Bay Sherwood ran into
little Elsie Millard and injuring her very
severely, knocking her down and running
over her. Peopie using the sidewalk for
bicycie riding should remember that a city
ordinance requires that all riders should
dismount when within 20 feet of any per
son walking on the sidewalk. Comply
ing with this feature of the ordinance will
avoid any repetition of the unfortunate
accident that befell the little daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Millard.
