The true northerner., 1900-04-11
For Governor, Dexter M. Ferry.

The republican party in Michigan
this year is confronted 10y political con
dition that is peculiar. and that has
never before existed in this state, and it
behooves the party TO make no mistakes
in the campaign upon which it is now
entering.
The True Northerner has no words of
censure for those at the present time in
authority, but for some reasons 1T Is un-
necessary to enter into, the conditions
are such as to especially demand care
full, economical and business-like admin
istration of state affairs, and it is nat
urally to the republican party that the
people look for the men who shall fill the
positions acceptably.
This is presidential year, and the peo-
pie of the state of Michigan are bound to
sustain the national administration by
their ballots.
A United States senator is to be elect
ed, and the people have no notion of
having the state represented in the SEN
ate by democrat.
This is a republican year.
Republicanism is IN the very air we
breathe in Michigan.
With these facts before us, we say
a great responsibility rests upon the re-
publican party, especially in the choice
of its candidate for the governorship, as
there is not the slightest doubt that the
republican state convention will not only
name the candidate of the party, but the
next governor of Michigan as well.
There are a number of excellent gentle
men in the field, any one of whom might
make good governor, but there is one
man whom it seems to US would be
especially acceptable to the stalwart re-
publicanism of the state, and whose can
didacy would appeal to the business
judgment of the whole people, and that
man is Dexter NJ. Ferry.
From a political standpoint, no posi-
BILE objection can be made to him.
His republcanism is unquestioned and
untarnished. While he has always been a
''laborer in the vineyard" of republican
ism, he has not been an Office seeker nor
an office holder, and now in his mature
manhood he comes to the party for which
he has done SO much and asks this one
honor. The partys claims upon him
have always been recognized, and now
his claims upon the party should not be
disregarded. He has the confidence of
the working republicans to as great de-
gree as has any man in Michigan, and
the party, with him as leader, would go
into the campaign with a confidence and
vim that would insure a big party vote,
inuring not alone to the advantage of
the state ticket, but that would prove an
immense source of strength to the con-
gressional, legislative and county tickets
also.
From personal standpoint, Mr.. Ferry
Is absolutely unobiectionable. No man
stands higher in the business circles of
the state. His name has always been

Would Execute the Laws Of Con


Admiral Dewey has announced him-
self as candidate for the presidency,
and has admitted that he thinks he is a
democrat, and hence it is probable he
aspires to the regular democratic nomi-
nation, although it is not at all certain
but he thinks his personal popularity
would be sufficient for his election on an
independent ticket Whatever might be
the result should he be the nominee of
either one of the great political parties,
it is certain that in practical politics, no
man can hope to succeed in obtaining
high office except through the regular
partisan channels.
The admiral has announced himself a
candidate on a very limited and peculiar
platform. he does not think the presi-
dency very difficult position to fill, and
says he would execute the laws of con-
gress" 1t is remarkable that man of
Admiral Dewey's ability should imagine
that the presidency is a position entirely
subordinate to the desires of congress
Were that the case, it would not be an
exalted position, and it is apparent, un-
der such a condition of affairs, it would
add nothing to the luster of the great
admiral's fame.
There is no question but Dewey is the
great popular American hero, but of his
fitness for the presidency at the present
time, there is the gravest doubt. As a
| democrat, he of course cannot aspire to
the nomination on the republican ticket.
As the original eXpansionist, and as a
man who has been reputed as favorng a
sound currency, and as the highest officer
in the navy, where discipline and obedi-
ence are of the strictest character, it is
difficult to see how the admiral could
consistently 90 before the people on a
platform OF anti-eXpansion, free silver
and anarchy. While it is doubtless true
that the national admiration for the man
and his naval achievements might bring
him many votes, the inconsistency of
such a position will probably prevent
his nomination by the democratic party.
1t is incredible that Admiral Dewey
has taken this step of his own accord.
He is doubtless being made a tool for the
accomplishment of the desire of some
body else. As a naval officer he made 10
serious mistakes. Since his return to
this country he has made blunders which
have weakened his hold upon the people,
and this announcement OF desire for
the presidency, on almost any kind of a
platform, is the crowning biunder of them
all
Admiral Dewey's reputation will live
as naval officer, never as politician

GEN. Marsh was convicted by the jury
at Lansing. We believe the majority of
the people of the state of Michigan look
upon this as a righteous verdict. Noone
has any desire to keep him from any
legal right that may be his, and there is
not the slightest objection to his appeal
ing his case to the higher court. How
ever, if he is finally found guilty, it is to
be hoped that Iust punishment will be
meted out to him. He is not alone in
the deal, and we trust that all the guilty
parties may be brought to justice. The
conviction and punishment of those inn
plicated in the military steal, will have
the greatest influence in preventing fu-
ture official dishonesty. Honesty in
public affairs is of the supremest i'm
portance, and it is highly desirable that
official wrong doers may be properly
punished, regardless of their party affil-
iations or the dignity of their positions.
