The nomination of Joseph W. Fordney,
Of Saginaw, by the republican congression-
al convention Of the eighth district should
encourage every republican to work for the
biggest republican majority the district has
ever given. After two years of experience
during which the district has been mis- rep
resented in congress and has been made the
sport of the people throughout the state. the
voters will welcome the chance to retire a
tricky politician and elect man who has
not been professional politician, but who
has, by shrewd business sense and honesty,
gained an enviable position both In business
and in the esteem of his associates. Al
though he has not taken an active part In
political matters until comparatively recent
ly Mr.. Fordney Is thinker, and has made
long and careful studies of the various pub.
lie questions Of the day. And while max
ing no pretensi0ns to being an orator he has
the plain. practical, common sense way Of
stating his thoughts that shows the people
that while leader he is still one of them
and trusts to their reason ard good sense
rather than attempting to excite their pas
sions and prejudices. With all the republic
cans of the district united upon Mr.. Ford
ney as they are, even prominent democrats
are conceding his election, and with Mr..
Fordney at Washington, AS be is now sure
to be. the eighth district from Clinton to
Tuscola will be ably represented and the
whole country will be served by man of
sound sense and patriot.

Morrice, Aug. "a, 1898.
For Representative, G. T. Mason.

EDITOR TINES: In canvassing this coun-
~ find that there is unanimity of senti-
ment Oh one point, /. e.: That man must
be nominated for representative who can
win and who can ut the same time strength
en- the ticket, ana who is such man as his
influence will be felt In the legislatures; one
who can secure for this county the place
and position it deserves in State and district
matters.
While find many good words said for
several of the candidates there Is a prepOnd-
erance of opinion that Geo. T. Mason is the
strongest man, both as vote getter and In
his qualifications for the office; quiet and
unassuming, he is one who can put into
plain English the point he wishes to make,
and man who would not figure for per-
sonal record, but tor the good of the county.
He is satisfactory, find, to the men who
have been in all factions, he is an agreea-
BILE candidate to men frmo all parts of the
county, and above all he is known and re-
spected by men of all parties, and would
draw large number Of votes from the COM
bination nominee. His acquaintance with
men who will be in the next Legislature is
quite extended, he having assisted in franz
ing for some of them who were members of
the last legislature the present drain law
which is conceded to be one of the best on
the statute book, and having, after hard
1 fight, removed many, II not all, of the OBJ
jectiopable features.
There are practically no objections to
him, and for thoroughly satisfactory nom.
inee the republican party has good chance.
