Sol on the 31st. The latter will not be

Only -Four Weeks until Election.

The conditions in the republican party
of Michigan were never more har-
monious than they are at the present
time. The factions have become united
and coaleseed there is no important
section of the party anywhere working
against another section. No clique is
trying to advance itself by pulling some
other. clique down. With the election
exactly month away the party finds
itself with all its internal differences
settled, all its stragglers brought up in
to the ranks marching in long line in
united front. The echoes of the guber-
Material nomination combat have died
away, and both sides to that spirited
struggle are working together. Only
yesterday Mr.. Stearns complimented
Gov. Bliss upon the manner in which
he had strengthened himself with the
people. The senatorial fight is settled,
with very few sore spots left anywhere.
AS the record Of the state administra-
ton is analysed it becomes more and
more clear that it is one of the best that
the state has had in years. Taxes have
been materially reduced, mil
lion less than last year, a faint of
dishonesty or a valid charge of ex-
travagance rests upon it anywhere. 1t
has been a careful, conservative, hard
working, economical administration.
With all the hullabaloo and bowling
raised against it by the democrats and
soicalled Independent press, not one of
them has been able to specify a single
important lapse in its career-a career
that was practically outlined for it by
the people when they elected it by 3d.
900 majority. The campaign is now
fairly squared away for four weeks of
active work. Every issue that the OPP
position can raise has already been dis
posed Of All that remains is the united
effort to urge upon the members of the
party to go to the polls. If they do, the
majority will rise beyond that of two
years ago.
Gov. Bliss has discharged the trust
that was given him with fidelity and
conscientious purpose. No republican
who will view his administration as n
whole, free from personal prejudice,
will withhold from HIM the honest COM
mendation that Is his due. Saginaw

Ward For Representative.

Last week the Commercial published
a contributed article under the head of
Political Talk" that had the appearance
of coming from the pen of the editor
and in the hands of a biased or unscru-
pulous person, might be used as evidence
against the election of Chas. E. Ward
for representative of Shiawassee county.
The article was written in Owosso and
was published in four other papers in
the county.
The editor of this paper stood for
Wards nomination as did three-fourths
of the republicans of this township, and
still stands for his election to the state
legislature; not merely because Ward is
a fellow townsman and personal
friend, but because of his fitness for the
Office.
He is young man of sterling good
sense, a talented gentleman, honest in
every particular, and thorough going
business man awake to the needs of our
times. 1t is said of him that he is
young. So he is but what of it. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is the youngest president
that ever occupied the Chair but are we
ashamed of him? He is young in years
but possesses a.keen intellect that counts
for far more than years in the solution
of 'ssproblems, so why use his'age as
an argument. He is constitutionally
eligible.
His training has been along such lines
as are necessary for an ideal law maker
A course in the law department of
our University gave Ward knowledge
of the statues and the common law of
our land, a requirement for good law
maker. He is logical thinker and a
forceful speaker with a makeup that
fits him for leader among men instead
of follower.
Mr.. Ward is not a farmer but his
position as cashier of the Exchange
Bank brings him face to face with the
ups and downs of a farmers life, for
our town is principally dependent upon
the farmers business and it is with them
that the banking business is done. Be-
ing devout student of political
Economy he knows many of the legisla-
tive needs of the farmers. While he
makes no promises what he will do, we
are assured by his,p record that he
can be depended upon as favoring any
measures that will benefit the laborer
whether upon the farm OF in the shop.
Fitness for the honor, should be the
first and the last requirement asked of
any candidate for public honors by the
the people. Included in that fitness"
comes honesty first with the educational
training for the second. These require
ments are fully exemplifed in Chas.
Ward who is now asking the people of
Shiawassee county to elect him to the
State Legislature.
The editor of the Commercial is glad
to support such candidate Bancroft

We are in receipt of circular from
Congressman j. w. Fordney showing
the relative increase of cane and beet
sugar productions of the world. Beet
sugar is wonderfully on the increase.
In 1866 there were times as much
cane sugar produced as beet sugar.
The latter has been steadily on the in
crease since that time until last year
the beet sugar production exceeded the
cane by 100000 tons, almost doubled
the cane production. The beet sugar
industry has now assumed a position
making it one of the principal, as well
as one OF the most profitable, industries
in which the farmers are engaged. And
it might be said in this connection,
without prejudice, that Congressman
Fordney of this congressional district
has been an untiring champion for the
farmers benefit in the protection of the
beet sugar interests. The Michigan
Farmer says of him: The most I'M
firing advocate of the beet sugar in
dustry in the lower house was Con-
gresham Joseph w. Fordney. Perry
