Do you prefer to have the National
debt grow smaller Then vote for
the policy which pays 1t up and elect
Joseph w. Fordney to Congress.

The friends of Fred Edwards are daily
becoming more pleased with the successful
way in which his canvass is coming on.
The vote In this city where both candidates
are well known and where calm judgment
is based more on the previous records of
both candidates than on any accidental Oc-
curence will be largely in favor of Mr. Ed
wards. This vote Is not only coming from
associates who work in the factories, from
members of Co. g, but from the business
men of the city who have still more accu-
rate idea of the need for a competent man in
the Office of county clerk. For this reason
number of democratic business mems votes,
and some of these are openly asserting as
much Mr.. Edwards is the only nominee who
is competent for the position and not only
merits the votes of every republican in re-
turn for the hustling he has zone In the aid
of other republicans and in cOnsde ration OF
his fitness for the work, but he also deserves
the support of any democrat who believes
IN competency in important county offices
In Owosso where he has been known fol
years no one doubts his competency and j,
is only In the districts where bis work i:
not known and where the complete mex
perience of his opponent in every phase O
book. keeping or accounting is unknown
that he is in the least danger of failing tC
RIM ahead Of the balance of his ticket

pudiate the work of the army and navy.
1t will be vote to rebuke the men

1t will be vote to surrender our new

1t will be vote to reverse the war
policy before the treaty of peace has
been signed.
1t will be vote of confidence in
Spain and of no confidence in those who
believe the United States was right i'm
the war.
1t will be vote to embarrass Presi-
dent Mckinley in his attempts to have
the nation reap all the advantages com
ing from the war.
A vote for democrat at the congress
sional elections of Nov. 8 will be incl
dentally for the democratic and popu-
listic Chicago platform of 1896
1t will be vote to disturb the bust
ness prosperity that resulted from the
sound money policy of the republican
party.
1t will be vote to repudiate the
Dingley tariff law, under which wages
to laborers have increased 81 900, 900, OOO
in the year 1893, and our exports have
increased from s793, 900, 900 in 1895 to
81, 2lO, OOO, 600 in 1898.
1t will be vote to condemn the
policy that filled depleted treasury
and that turned the movement of gold
from this country into movement OF
gold TO this country.
1t will be vote to indorse a policy
that under the Wilson bill closed our
factories and workshops, reduced the
surplus in the treasury, and sent our
gold abroad to pay for goods which
ought to have been manufactured at
home.
In short. it will be vote against
everything that the friends of the
United States government desire, and
in favor OF, everything that they fear.

Murray Il Mack.

These two funny men Murray & Mack,
will be with us next Tuesday in an entirely
new comedy. "Finnigan's 400" The piece
gives these clever comedians ample scope
to display their talent; is the best they have
yet attempted, and is bound to please the
most fastidious. They are supported by
an excellent coterie Of artists, and host OF
pretty girls. They come here highly
recommended by press and public. The
comedy Is an amusing satire on society's
exclusive set, ''the 400" showing the un.
successful attempts of two celts to break
into the crust OF society. Seats on sale

Beers and in newspaper articles that he

much that way. Mr.. Beers is but 81
years old as is clearly shown by the fol.

GET OUT TO VOTE.

If there is big victory for sound
money and good government next Tues
day you want to know that you had
part in it, don't you? Then forget for
the rest of the campaign that this is an
off year, and make up your mind not
only to get out to vote yourself but also
to get out every other republican who
is at all inclined to be Indifferent.
Do you know how many times vic
tory for good government and honest
republican principles has been lost
simply because few men have forgot
ten the responsibility that rests on every
individual 1t is so easy to think that
everyone else is going to vote and your
vote will not be needed. This is espec.
tally true when there is such a general
satisfaction with an administration and
with the condition of the country as
there is now.
You think because the democrats
can't say much that they are not work
ing. There is such thing though as
an obstinate, logged determination to
work quietly and then get out to the
polls in full force. How do you know
that the silver men are not planning
such surprise this fall ?
There never is any safe way of secur-
ing a victory without getting out the
full vote TO be sure we all expect that
full vote means big republican ma
jority in the county this fall, but some
one is helping to make defeat possible
if single republican stays away from
the polls.
There never has been a time when it
was more important that republicans
should be successful in every place
where the election of United States
representative or senator is concerned.
A republican defeat or small republi-
can victory can do more to again un-
settle the improving business conditions
than can be imagined. 1t is absolutely
necessary to business and national cred
it and stability that the judgment OF
lWO years dRO po lhOo Win duNOu
emphasis. So necessary is this victory
to the final settlement of this question
that it can scarcely be called SECOND in
importance even to the election of two
years ago.
Then get out to vote. Don't consider
that enough either, but get out every
other republican and every sound
money democrat who proved his patri-
otism so Loyalty two years ago. See
that Joseph w. Fordney receives the
largest vote ever given to candidate
for congress in this district. Elect
George L. Mason as your representa-
tive and Charles b. Collingwood as
your senator in the state legislature,
and make it sure beyond doubt that
| there will still be two United States
senators to uphold McKinley's policy
at Washington. Elect every man on
the republican ticket. But don't think
it can be done without you.
| GET OUT AND VOTE.

Be Up and DOING !!
The Duty of Michigan Republic
cans on Tuesday Next Point
ed Out.
EVERY ONE MUST VOTE.
See to 1t That Republican Senator
Is Chosen From This State.
And congressman, State and County
Tickets Elected.
Great Question of National Policy
rlust be Settled by Repub-
liCan Votes.

The republican state central commit
tee has issued the following address to
the voters of Michigan:
To the Republicans of Michigan The
election which will be held next Tues
day is fraught with great interest to the
people of this state. The masses of the
Republican party in the midst of their
own prosperity often forget the benefi-
cent principles and wise policy which
have made that prosperity a living fact.
And they forget that in order that con-
tinued prosperity may exist the policy
that produced it must be upheld.
You can accomplish nothing for your
selves and nothing for the state and
union unless you consider the day of
election the most sacred day of all the
year In giving the whole of that day,
if possible, to the earnest business of
voting and seeing that your neighbors
vote, you are performing a duty which
can be performed at no other time.
To maintain the national policy of
the Republican party you should up
hold the hands of the president, whose
patriotism and wisdom have made the
name of VIM Mckinley dear to every
loyal heart. You should see to it that a
Republican senator is chosen from this
state, and the Republican congress-
men and state and county tickets are
triumphantly elected You can not do
this if you neglect the most important
opportunities you cannot elect them
if you remain away from the polls.
The great questions of national policy
which are crowding upon you must be
controlled by your votes. 1t will not
do to rest in fancied security of success
You must be up and doing. You must
be awake, watchfui and vigilant
AS republicans of Michigan, you are
especially interest ed in the present
campaign, The principles of equal
rights and equal taxation are on trial
In the presence of these great princi-
Piles, how Insignificant are questions of
personal success and how trivial are the
desires of personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Let us work together in harmony. in
order that the magnitude of the coming
victory may fill every loyal Republican
heart with pride.

Committee.

Patriotism is best when tempered with
common sense. The man who volunteered
for service and was rejected but who has
many times shown his metal In times of
danger should make as strong an appeal to
the patriotic impulses of men of sense as
the young man who was accepted at Island
Lake. Each did all he could for the
country and no one could do more than
that Then be patriotic enough to vote for
the man whom common sense tells you Is
pre-eminently the better qualified for the
office of county clerk, Fred Edwards.
