were presented to the p. o. Department by
Mr.. Fordney some time ago, and early this
month Mr.. f. p Robards, special agent,
was assigned to inspect the same. Mr.. Rob-
ards spent three days In the county and as
result of his investigation recommended to

splendid routes running thru the townships
of Vernon, Venice, Caledonia, Shawassee,
Burns and Antrim, serving at least SIS fam
lilies. The average length of the routes is
about 221a miles.
The first route to be approved by Z. M.
Dice, agent in charge of the western divi-
siop, and the P.O. Department, is the route
out of Bancroft, on which service will begin
next Tuesday. Truman Hemingway has
been appointed carrier and Delbert McCur-
dy substitute. The route is as follows:

Saginaw county republicans paid Senator
James Mcmillan the following compliment
at their county convention Monday: 1--WE
assert that In the person of Senator James
Mcmillan, Michigan has representative In
the senate Of the United States, whose ripe
business experience, mature judgment, long
distinguished public service, and conserva-
tive course, has given this state great promi-
hence in the councils of the nation, and fully
justifies the handsome vote by which the
legislature unanimously returned him to the
senate six years ago; and further, 1t Is the
sense of this convention that 1t is duty the
republican party owes to itself, the state
and nation, to see to it that Senator Nc
MILAN be made his own successor"

The transient character of the support
Mr.. Bliss may secure In the state conven-
ton Is shown by the state of mind of the
delegation from Shiawassee county, which
region has always been Bliss stronghold.
1t Is announced that they will support Mr..
Bliss only upon the first ballot, then divid-
ing between Stearns and Ferry. In other
words, the latter men are the real prefer
ence Of the delegation, and the possible
vote for Bliss is intended to be but an empty
compliment. 1t is daily more apparent
that the real contest lies between Stearns
and Ferry. -Allegan Gazette.
In justice to Col. A. T. Bliss and the
Shiawassee county delegation the Gazette
should explain to Its readers that the above
statement was based on the misleading re.
ports sent to the daily press OF the State
from this city. The delegation will stand
by Col. Bliss solldly Just as long as there is
chance for him to win. Reports to the
contrary are without foundation.

After having been run for eight years as
an independent paper the Evening Argus
came out Saturday night as a republican
paper. The TIMES suspects that deep
down in the depths of the editors hearts all
of the rest Of the papers in the city would
really prefer to be in firm, out and out
allegiance to the party of prosperity, plenty,
good wages, and growth, but 1t presumes
that it is more than doubtful that they will
actually follow the example of the Argus
and make genuine effort to get into the
march of progress. There is always work
for recruits in any active army and THE
TINES would welcome the rest of the
Owosso papers as it now welcomes and con-
graduates the Argus.

The st. Johns Republican forget to add
to the following statement the fact that Pin
greeism was responsible for the state Of
affairs mentioned: "It cost about double ia
equip the same number Of soldiers from
Michigan for the Spanish war than the ex,
pendtures of other states, and while other
states will get their money back from the
general government, it looks as though
Michigan would get but part, owing to the
reckless and dishonest expenditures of the
military department"

Alabama democrats are evidently expan-
sionists. The contest in the democratic
primaries for the u. s. senatorship from
that state between Senator Morgan and
Gov. Johnston was waged on that issue,
with the result that the former, who is an
ardent advocate of expansion, easily defeat
ed his opponent, who is opposed to acquisl-
ton of any territory. Alabama democrats
and Mr.. Bryan will have to arrive at some
understanding before election day.
