The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-11-18

HoN. j. w. STONE, republican, formerly
circuit Judge of the Allegan circuit and later
a member of congress from the sixth district
is one of the ablest lawyers in the city of
Grand Rapids. He is quite well known to
good many citizens of Van Buren, County,
and is an out and out temperance man.
S. ID. CLAY, fusionist, of the same city, is
also somewhat known to our people-he
defended in the celebrated Barker trial-and
is also an able lawyer, but great devotee of
the flowing bowl, man who can drink as
much liquor in a given length of time-and
stand up under it too-as any man in the
state, probably. These two men were oppos-
ing candidates for the Office of prosecuting
attorney of Kent County. 1t ought not to
have taken even political prohibitionist
long to determine that it was his duty to vote
for Mr.. STONE under such a state of facts.
But, no, instead of pursuing such plain,
common sense course, the third party men.
men who profess TO love the cause of tenn
perance above everything else. threw away
their votes on a little candidate Of their own
who stood no chance of an election, and
thus defeated Mr. STONE and enabled the
liquor interest to elect Mr.. CLAY. Such in
consistency is too rank 10 require comment.

suspicion of Mr.. burrows weakness as q
candidate. The vote of the entire five
counties composing the district was as
follows LuoE 1873; YAPLE 1910; LUcE's
plurality 2.473. BURRows' vote in the district
1928; SnEEwooD's 1874; Burrows plu-
rality 2,514. 1t will be observed that both
congressional candidates received more votes
than the candidates for governor on their
respective tickets, Mr.. BURROWS having
seventy-fve more votes than MIR. LUCE, and
YApLE, and that Mr.. Burrows plurality was
forty-one votes in excess of that of Mr.. LUCE,
all of which demonstrates that he-BURRows
made magnificent canvass and splendid
run. The vote of the district, by counties
was as follows: Van Buren,, LUCE 1888,
YApLE 1852, plurality 1921; BURRows 1858,
SHERWOOD 1925, plurality 1,233. Kalamazoo,

BURROWS 1902, SHERWOOD 1924, SHERwooD's

own county, Mr.. BURROWS ran largely ahead
and slightly ahead in BerrIen, while in Cass
and Van Buren, he was slightly behind, and
quite materially behind in st. Joseph. 1t is
not at all probable that any other man in the
fourth district could have made a better run
or have obtained a greater number of votes

elect United States senator, and there
wouldn't be enough left of the republican
party to bury its own dead. AS we have
perhaps hitherto remarked, this was before

dued and softened seizes the poor Washing
ton reporter 10y the clothes and tells him
that it is all nonsense to say because Mich
igan has gone republican by two or three
times the republican plurality of 1884, it is a
republican victory; that gain of two repub-
lican congressman and forty or forty-fve
members of the Legislature il no indication
that the republicans have triumphed. Why,
it is actually enough to make man cross
eyed to look at Don's ante-election and post
norton interviews side by side.-Detroit

COMPLETE returns show that the newly
elected Michigan legislature stands forty-eight
republican majority on joint ballot. Accord
ing to the Detroit Tribune, the senate is
twenty-three republicans and nine democrats:
tue house, sixty-seven republicans. thirty
two democrats and one labor. This is a
republican gain of forty members and. if
correct. gives the republicans just two-thirds
of the house and one more than two-thirds
of the senate. Now let the prohibtory
amendment be submitted.

In its report of the official canvass of
Branch County, the Detroit Free Press gives
LUCE 1925 votes, which we presume is cor
rect. It's report also shows that two of the
candidates OH the state ticket, APLIN and
DIX, ran slightly ahead of Mr.. LUcE's vote,
APLN having 3,555 votes and DIX 1896.

THE four great republican counties Of the
state, according TO the official returns are
Genesee. Hilsdale, Marquette and Van
Buren,. The following are LUoE's pluralities
in those counties compared with ALoER's:
Genesee 2.135, an increase of 1878; Hills
dale 1,6l4, an increase of $50; Marquette
1919, decrease of 1884; Van Buren, l ,29l,
a decrease of %. LucE's plurality in the
state, with Alger County 10 hear from, is
s,277, an increase of 1924. The total vote
of the state is about 21,500 less than two
years ago. The prohibition vote shows an
increase of about 5000.

The men who were working for the Chi
cago packers, were receiving an average of
more than two dollars per day for ten hours
work. They struck for an eight hour day
and the result is that their places have been
filled to large extent by other men while
the strikers, some twelve thousand in
number, now belong to the army of tho I'M
employed and are likely to do so during the
coming winter. Many of them were and
are dependent on their daily labor for the
necessaries of life for themselves and their
families and it is inevitable that much
suffering must result from the ill-advised
strike. 1t would have been much better for
the strikers had they remained at work where
they were getting fair pay for fair days

The democratic board of canvassers in the
city of Detroit, under the leadership of
Alderman JACOB, one of the most unscrupu-
lous of demagogues, has attempted to nullify
the will of the people by counting out the
republican candidate for justice of the peace,
MARTIN, and counting in his democratic
opponent, Ross. The steal was contaminated
and Ross declared elected. MABTIN will
contest the matter before the courts.

ALREADY the canvass has begun for a
successor to Hon. o. ID. CoNGER in the
United States senate. Mr.. CoNGER is, of
course, entirely willing, perhaps anxious, to
become his own successor. but it is not at all
likely that he will have things entirely his own
way. He has been q valuable man in the
senate and his record is an honor to himself
and credit to the state OF Michigan, but
his location is against him. Perhaps this
ought not to have any influence in the
matter. but it will, nevertheless Western
and Northern Michigan will both put forth
claims on the score OF locality. Mr.. Cox
GERS prominent opponents will probably be

Should there bo prolonged contest some
other man may be taken up as a compromise
candidate. In such an event the NORTH
ERNER ventures 20 suggest that Hon. j. j..
WooDMAN of Van Buren,, would fill the bill
very acceptably. The probabilities however,
at the present time, seem to be that the re-
publican members of the Legislature may
find themselves unable 10 agree upon any
outside man and conclude that the best thing
to do will be to continue Mr.. CoSGER in the
position. Should this be the final result,
Michigan will have no cause to complain.

DEMOCRATIC newspapers labored hard,
during the campaign, to create the impression
that "TIP" APLIN, republican candidate for
auditor general, was unpopular in his own
home, Bay City. Bay county gave YAPLE a
plurality of 1,345 and yet APLIN carried it by
a plurality of 326, thus showing his great
popularity where he is best known. He has,
without doubt, the largest vote of any man
on the ticket.

cost the firm over $4,000. Yesterday

Ployes in the paper department of the

Of larceny and conspiracy and were
held In bonds Of 5000 each. Several
other employees Of the houss were ar
reeted last night and more will be ar
rested to-day, aud they will be prose-
cuted on the same charges. For year
the firm has been losing paper OF ell
kinds, but the stealing was done 30
carefully that they were not able to
trace il 10 any one OF the employees.
Recently, however, the thefIs have
been increasing 10 such an extent that
detectives were called in and they
succeeded in tracing stolen paper TO
Webber's store. BY careful watching
the detectives soon discovered that
there were seven or eight other en-
ployes besides Watson and williams
who had almost daily transactions
with Weber. II was their plan to
hide ths paper In the firms dslivory
