A Business Proposition.
From the Saginawian.

rtoui VIC ooBiho"iop'
The paramount issue before the voters
of the Eighth Congressional District
this fall is the selection of a congress-
man, for upon his one vote may hinge
the question of continued prosperity
throughout the land
Upon this issue hangs also the query
whether or not this community is to
continue to receive its full share of the
benefits annually distributed by the
National Government.
To the thinking, generous and pro-
gressive man, who has enjoyed his share
of the benefits resulting from the present
prosperous condition of the country,
the first proposition should, and no
doubt does, appeal strongly enough to
insure the casting of his vote for Joseph
w. Fordney. who's position on national
) issues is known to every voter in the
district
AS to the second proposition, we desire
to call your attention to a few impor-
tant facts. During his term of Office,
Mr.. Fordney has worked indefatigably
for the welfare of his constituents, and
his efforts have not been in vain. He
has accomplished much and done it
without the customary footing of horns.
When we stop to think that the district
has now about one hundred rural free
delivery routes, to which more are be-
ing added weekly. Dear this in mind
when the carrier makes his daily visit
When we remember that it was he, as
much as any other one man, who dis
figured the anti-sugar beet bill in such
manner as to kill it in the senate.
Make note of this when you are har-
vesting your CROP
When we review his record upon the
question of pensions and discover what
willing and powerful help he has
proven to the boys in blue. Don't for
get this when you cash your voucher.)
When we recall his rintiring efforts to
promote the efficiency of, and increase
the benefits to be derived from, all the
government institutions throughout the
district to say nothing about multiple
city of minor matters; it seems the very
height of folly to think of voting for an
other candidate, no matter how good a
man he may be. For we must not for
get the over shadowing fact that if our
representative is to be of valne to us, he
must know the ropes; he must be in
harmony with the man who will be
president of the United States for at
least the next two years; he must be
honored by, and member of the ma
jority of the body in which he will sit;
he must be able to count upon the back
ing of the two U. S. senators who repre-
sent this commonwealth. Joseph w.
Fordney embodies all these elements of
necessary strength, besides being
diplomatic, influential and tactful bust
ness man. Voting is not matter of
SYM aShy or sentiment, but purely
business transaction, whereby a man
helps or cripples his earning capacity.
Therefore, why not cast aside politics
and prejudice and vote for the one who
has fought your battles in the past and
who's record is guarantee that he will
not forget or desert you in the future,
especially if you show by your votes, an
appreciation of, and confidence in him.
1t is due to him and due to you.

In this same connection it is inter
esting to remember that on the first day
of August, this year, the revenue bal
ance in the state treasury was very close
to S5,OOO,0OO. Republican officials seem
to be managing the business affairs of

honestly administered and is worthy of

CULLOM'S ANTITRUST BILL
Senate Measure Embodies Ideas of
the Administration.

Washington, Dec. 6.-What has been
heralded as the administrator antitrust
bill was introduced in the senate by SEN
ator Cullom Because the Illinois senator
was for some years chairman of the SEN
ate committee on interstate commerce
and, therefore, very familiar with the OPP
Grafton of the laws on the subject, it was
announced some time ago that President
Roosevelt had entrusted to him the pre-
paration of the bill which was to embody
his views
There has, therefore, been much curiosi-
ty to see the results of Mr.. Cullom's
labors. He proposes to add nine new
sections to the Sherman law. Section 8,
the first of the proposed new sections
provides that mo article of commerce
produced, manufactured. owned or dealt
in by any person. corporation. association
joint stock company or. partnership or
ganized or carrying on business. for the
purpose of c9ntrolling or monopolizing the
manufacture, production or sale of any
article of commerce, or for appreciably
affecting the cost of said article of COM
merce to the consumer. or for the proven
ton of competition in the manufacture,
production or sale thereof, shall be trans
