WHOLE NUMBER PHI.

There is no general re.registration
of voters this fall, as some have been
led to believe. IL you have not changed
your residence since last spring, aud
were registered then, you are all right
now. Ii you are not sure your name
was on the township register last
spring, register Saturday!
When man is driven into tight
corner in argument, il is easy TO call his
opponent either liar or a fool. While
there Is no argument in IL, il seems as
though il let the man slide out of the
corner gracefully, as it were. In such
a dilemma, we are pleased that the
Courier has chosen To call US fool. If
we lied, we ourselves would be to
blame. II it is merely lack of intel
lect, Higher Power must bear the
brunt of the Courier'S criticism. The
Courier is always gentlemanly, and
everybody knows its intellect is pro-
found.
If we did not have it on unquestiona-
bic authority, we would not believe
that the chairman of the demopop
county comm ittee would make the
statement, as he did in business place
in this village last Saturday, that Jason
by saying he will vote for Bryan. Such
tactics are beyond the pale even of the
uncertain honor of politics and can
make no votes. There is absolutely no
truth in the statement. MIR. Woodman
is squarely in the republican party and
will vote for Mckinley electors, as we'll
as the republican state, congressional,
legislative and county tickets.

Fools Errand," Bricks without
Straw" and other books, as well as his
forceful "Bystander's Notes" that were

In the reconstruction days, as a federal
Judge in the South, he was national
figure, and in these later years has lost
none of his prominence in public
affairs. He is polished orator and,
could the republicans have made their
own choice of a speaker, they would
not have been better pleased than with
Judge Tourgee. The date fixed for the
mass meeting is Saturday, Oct. 31-the
last big demonstration of the campaign
in this county-and great effort is
being made to have it memorable oc-
casion in county politics. There will
be grand parade of horsemen, foot
men and carriages at 1870 a. m, and
all republicans from the county and
villages within reach are invited to
send delegations to participate. The
ladies' clubs will be a prominent fea-
ture of the day. Judge Tourgee will
speak in the afternoon, and there will
be torchlight procession in the even
ing, followed by addresses by two local
speakers who have done valuable work
in the campaign, Judge Heckert and
MIR. Jason Woodman Whites Military
Band of Kalamazoo has been engaged
for the day, as has also the Paw Paw
band and glee club, and visiting dele
cations will bring other musical organ
izations. The special trains and very
low rates made by the S. II. q K. will
make it easy for the people to get here,
and home again after the speaking.
