the facts are all familiar 10 the citizens

City elections Monday April 3D. See to
it that good, wideawAkc men are elected
to I'll the several Offices. This should,
also, be done in every Township in the
county. The local Legislature, called
the Board of Supervisors. have more to do
with the question Of taxation than have
the Solons ut Washington, or at Lansing.

Polls on the Sd proximo. And we advise
every voter to be there, but il you stay

Many village elections have been held
during The past two weeks ia this state
In some Of them nonpariisan tickets
have been run, and the result has no
political significance. In others. side
issues have controlled the action Of the
voters, with results uncertain in character.
Where party tickets have been in the field
the Republicans, as compared with the
result ia former years, have fully held
their own. All in all the general result
in the various localities.

Henderson it has been u political power in
the state and in the nation Its influence
was never greater than it is ut this time,
and we trust that for many years. yet, it
may continue, under the management of
MIR. Henderson, to be AS able and fearless
an advocate of the cause Of justice and
right. as it has been for the past quarter
of century.
Just why any Representative should
work or vote against allowing the people
OF Owosso, or any other city or town. to
vote on any question of public interest
we cannot see. And we do not believe
the best interest of the people. of any
given locality, is served when Legislators.
refuse them the right to express their will,
in legal and Constitutional manner,
through The ballot box on any question.
Hence we cannot see why Representative
Cooper should either work or vote against
letting the legal voters of Owosso. express
their views on the question of bonding
our city. to build Court House and Jail,
provided the people of the county, in the
manner provided by law. should determine
to locate the county seat here.
