The Coming Convention.

The republican county convention
will meet next Tuesday. It's outcome
is not so easy to predict with accuracy.
In the case of representative and senator
there are more than one candidate for
the nomination and all have had friends
who have taken keen interest in their
candidates. The contest in every case
may last until the final vote is an
nounced. There are now no indications
that any of them will end any sooner by
any of the candidates withdrawing from
the field There is however no harm in
this and the fact that there may be a
lively contest for any nomination does
not need to endanger the success of the
ticket as it is finally made up by the re-
publicans of Shiawassee county. 1t is
high compliment to the republicans
of the county that place on their
ticket is sought as eagerly and often is
quite as carefully and earnestly con-
tested for as is the subsequent election
itself. 1t means simply that Shiawassee
republicans are in the habit of electing
their ticket. This is the key to the
most important idea which should be
carried into the convention next Tues
day. That idea should be that whoever
may be the nominees Selected to make
up the county and the legislative tickets
the entire ticket is to be elected. The
candidacy of every good man may well
be encouraged and the warmest kind of
fair, friendly fight in the interests of
any one of these candidates can leave
no sore spots on any good republican IN
the county to threaten the success of
the ticket later at the polls. Garry your
contests, if you are interested in any,
into the convention-provided you have
not settled them to your own or to the
satisfaction of your opponents before
you get as far as that-but go into the
matter with the determination that if
the other fellow is successful you will
be the kipd of republican you would
like to have him be if you were success
full, until the close of the polls on
November 4. There will be other cam
paigns and there will be quite as much
desire to be electe to offices within the
gift of the voters of this county in years
to come as there is now. Then make
your conduct after this convention such
that a place on the republican ticket in
this county will be just as much sought
after in years to come as it is now. Do
not let any contest leave-any sembl ance
of unpleasant feelings on the part of
any disappointed candidates or their
friends. There need be no worry over
the result of a lively contest in any case
if the contest be in the right spirit and
with the determination to accept the
results gracefully. Let the convention
leave a united and enthusiastic republi-
can party in Shiawassee county.

How would democratic house af

free trade or of drastic revision of the

Counterfeit Gold.

Few persons know that the gold used
in color printing and on picture frames
is made from composition powder OF
bronze and spelter, and not from pure
gold leaf, but which, however, gives
the same effect. There is another arti-
Gle that is very much initiated, and that
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Spuri-
Gus dealers often refill the bottles, and
thus give them the same appearance as
the original, but unless they have our
Private Stamp unbroken over the neck
they are not genuine. Refuse all such
limitations. The genuine Hostetters
Stomach Bitters has an unequalled re-
card of cures of stomach complaints
back of it, such as dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, constipation, biliousness, nevous-
ness, insomnia, and malaria, fever and
ague.

Post Office Site Election.

The people Of Owosso will have an
opportunity on the 1st of October to say
whether they desire the government
building or not. The treasury depart
ment has had its agent here and has de-
cided which one of the sites proposed it
considers the best adapted to the gov
eminent needs. The government pays
the money for erecting the post Office
building and for keeping it in repair
after it is built 1t will still belong to
the government and be used by the gov
eminent, but it will always remain in
this city, an ornament to the city-all
this if the citizens desire it enough to
furnish the site asked for. The govern
ment is asking no favor 1t was only by
have spent thousands of dollars to secure
through committees sent to Washington
and otherwise, that the appropriation
was made for Owosso. The proposition
to appropriate $4,000 should be carried
unanimously and by vote large enough
to show the department officials that the
gift of the public building is thoroughly
appreciated in this city. A small vote,
or considerable number of votes against
the purchase of the site asked for be-
cause the voter wished to see one of the
other sites chosen, would not at this
time be any credit to the city. Appre-
citation for the gift of the building may
be shown in little measure by big
vote q week from next Wednesday.

The democratic convention for the
eighth congressional district met in
Saginaw Tuesday without candidate.
When the conference committee which
was appointed to find candidate, re-
ported to the convention after search
of an hour or two the convention was
so much relieved that it nominated the
candidate proposed by reclamation.
The man of whom they propose to make
a mark is Henry M. Youmans. He is
salt manufacturer, lumberman and
farmer and was elected for one term by
the democrats twelve years ago. He is
now seventy years old but his age
proved no protection against the drag
net of the democrats who seemed to feel
that they absolutely must have candi-
date of some sort.

to note the fact that we have lower
interest and higher wages, more money
and fewer mortgages than when demo
cracy was in the saddle. During the
month of August just past the money
in circulation increased little more
than $4,000,000, and the increase in
twelve months was $67, 1000, 600. People
who are contented and prosperous are
not going to vote for a change this

The Michigan oleo bill has stood the
test. The supreme court handed down
o decision this week which settles the
pnlawfulness of offering for sale any
oleomargarine colored yellow in imita-
ton of butter. The defence claimed
that the law was vague and indefinite
The supreme court evidently concluded
that it was clear enough in its meaning
so that there was no excuse for anyone's
violating it. The farmers of the state
and other dairymen and buttermakers
ore to be congratulated on the finding
Of the court. Oleomargarine may be
oil right and it may be pleasanter to use
when it is colored rich yellow color
but if so it will also taste just as good
IL it is sold under its right name The
manufacturers claim that it is sweeter
and more wholesome than butter The
consumer should have the right to
know therefore that he is getting
genuine oleomargarine and not poor
grade Of butter. The law is a,good one,
works no injustice TO either cleo manu-
facturers or butter makers, butter
eaters, cleo eaters, or the cows. THE
TINES is glad that the court has found
II constitutional.

The supreme court handed down a
decision Wednesday which will prob
ably be the means of bringing no small
number Of dollars. into the county
treasures. The decision affirmed the
conviction of Clayton VOORHEES, the
agent of the Minneapolis Brewing Co.
which sold liquor at wholesale from its
cold storage warehouses at Gladstone,
In this state, without taking out the
wholesalers five hundred dollars license
required by law. The company claimed
that the law operated as restriction of
trade between states and therefore
could not be constitutional. The
supreme court held that inasmuch if
the brewers of this state established
warehouses at different points from
their breweries they would be liable to
the same tax in addition to their manu-
facturers tax of sixty-five dollars, there
was no discrimination and no restraint
Of trade. There seems to be nothing
left for the outside brewers to do but
pay the price if they wish to ship from
cold storage warehouses in this state.
