County Committee Meeting.


The republican county committee held
a meeting to organize and call the county
convention at the armory Tuesday after
noon. Chairman Bigelow and Secretary
Edwards sent invitations to all possible
candidates on the county ticket and to
number of party workers to be present
at the meeting and the general accept
ance made the gathering have the APP
pearance of convention rather than a
committee meeting. Beside transacting
the set business Chairman Bigelow found
time to call out all of those present for
an expression as to their views on the
coming campaign and to other matters
of interest. The general expression was
that with full vote rousing republi-
can victory would be scored in Novem-
Der. The members of the county COM
mittee pledged themselves to do earnest
work for the success of the ticket
The several townships and wards were
represented by the following committee
men: Antrim, G.. j. Cole; Bennington,
F. G. Morrice; Burns, j. f. Barnes; Cal
edonia, Julius Eveleth; Fairfield, W. G.

unna, 1st ward, w. j. Parker, I'd ward,
Carl Pickert, Sd ward, F. e. WEIGH.
Messrs. Hamper and WEIGH acted as
proxies for the regular committeeman
The committee organized by selecting
J. w. Jordan, of Owosso, for secretary,
and W. A. Rosenkrans, of Corunna, for
treasurer The date for holding the
county nominating convention was then
fixed for Sept. 23d.
If the friendly and hopeful spirit man
ifested by all present is carried into the
campaign there can be no doubt of the
election of the entire republican county
ticket and the giving of a good majority
to the state, congressional and legisla-
tive tickets.
Before the close of the meeting the
retiring secretary, Fred Edwards thank
ed the members of the committee for
the honor of having been chosen to serve
for eight years and pledged his loyal
support to the committee and to the
new Sc rotary.

Republican Duty.

The duty of the republicans this year
is to stand by their party ticket more
firmly than ever. Superhuman efforts
are being made by the opposition to
stampede the republicans to Judge
Durand and the rest of the democratic
ticket, because of state matters alone
While the excessive use of money in
politics is deplored, nevertheless no can
didate on the republican ticket is to
blame for the condition of affairs. The
system of grating" has grown in the
state until nearly every candidate for of
flee is target for the professional work
err Gov. Bliss is as honest and upright
a man as lives in Michigan. He was the
victim of a bad state of affairs. 1t is
unjust and unfair to punish him when
it is the system that should be corrected
and the grafters who should be punished.
The defeat of Gov Bliss will not correct
any of these evils-a republican vote
against him will not eliminate the ex-
cessive use of money in politics. 1t is a
well-known fact that the democrats as
we'll as the republicans use money in
politics-perhaps not as much as the re-
publicans but it is not a question of
amount but of principle. 1t is just as
bad to bride ma with five dollars as
with one hundred dollars. If all parties
and all candidates would agree not to
use money at caucuses or in campaigns,
the whole situation might be speedily
cleared up.
Gov. Bliss has made a good executive
and the affairs of the state are in splen-
did condition. Furthermore if republi-
cans begin by voting against Gov. Bliss,
they are liable to vote against the re-
publican congressional and legislative
candidates. Not single republican
can be spared in the national house of
representatives and the state legislature
should be republican without fail, in
case twill be called upon to elect a
successor to Senator Mcmillan. The
obvious duty of every republican in
Michigan is to vote the straight repub-
lican ticket. -Kalamazo Telegraph.

Neil R. Walsh, of, the law firm of

Neil X. Walsh, of the law firm OF
Walsh q Pardee, will be candidate be-
fore the republican county convention
for the nomination as circuit court COM
missioner to succeed Roy ID. Matthews.
Mr.. Walsh came before the voters of
Owosso last spring after he had been
urged to try for the nomination for
justice of the peace and at that time he
made splendid record as a vote getter,
securing the nomination after lively
but friendly contest with two other can
didates in the field, and later securing
the election by good majority. He is
a good lawyer and will make an excel
lent commissioner. Mr.. Matthews, who
was appointed to the position a few
months ago, has given excellent salts
faction in the Office, but as he does rot
expect to remain in Owosso he declines
to be candidate for the nomination.
1t does not seem difficult therefore at
the present time to predict the nomina-
ton and election of Mr. Walsh.
Judge Howard Weist of Lansing,
showed the judicial timber of which he
is made in a very unmistakable way
this week. On Wednesday he sentenced
Messrs. Hunter, Kauffner, and Wood
worth, who plead guilty on account of
their connection with the Henderson
Ames military scandal, to pay fine of
$4,000 each. Bickerstaff, who was also
mixed up in the deal but who would
not have received any of the profits of
the fraud, was sentenced to pay fine
of $1,000. Previous social or business
standing do not count in that court
when man stands convicted of a felony
Judge Weist gave the convicts a most
whitening lecture in pronouncing SEN
tence on them. He did no more than
his duty but he has earned the thanks
of the entire state by the way in which
he did it. 1t is such acts which tend to
raise the general confidence in the judi
ciary which means so much to the
stability of our republican institutions.
Chairman Bigelow, of the county
committee, made remark at the meet
ing of the county committee and party
workers Tuesday which will be good
thing for republicans in Shiawassee
equity to bear in mind from this time on
until the close of the polls on the 4th of
November. One of those present
humorously suggested that it would be
well if the republicans were instructed
this fall in the manner of splitting their
tickets without spelling them. The
chairman remarked somewhat dryly
and with twinkle in his eye that it
would be better to instruct them to vote
their tickets straight. The position of
the chairman is the one which every re-
publican should take and in this con-
nection it might be said that in the
next few weeks they will haye a chance
to determine whether some of the can
didates whose names will appear on the
ticket will be such men as they will wish
to vote for. Vote the republican
ticket and vote it straight and see that
it is such ticket that no one would
wish to vote it any other way

The temperance of the author of
THE Workers" marks the September
number of Scribners Magazine When
Walter A. Wyckoff began that narrative
every newspaper of Importance in the
country commented on his remarkable
experiment. Last summer Mr.. Wyckoff
transferred the field of his investigation
to England. At the same time that Mr..
Vanderlip was investigating the finan-
cial and commercial Magazine, Mr..
Wyckoff was studying the social effects
OF the American invasion upon British
workmen. Having been a workman
himself, and moreover having the train
ing of scientific student of social
questions, he was able to gather and
in his first article, to present with vigor
the London wage-earner's present con-
ditions and prospects. This introduc-
tory article will be revelation to those
who look on East London as vast slum.
Mr. Wyckoff found there a clean,
orderly, self-respecting and progress
sive body of wage-earners, ready to
compete intelligently with the American
workman. More of Mr. Wyckoffs re-
markable deductions will be published
in coming numbers.

There still seem to be but two candi-
dates in the field for representative from
Shiawassee county, and both of these
from Shiawassee township. While the
action of a convention can never be
foretold, there seems to be disposition
In many quarters to let the township
settle the matter of the nomination if
there should be no other candidate in
the field who develops more strength
than the successful Shiawassee township
man In the meantime the friends of
Chas Ward, of Shiawassee township
and Bancroft village, and John Whelan,
oi Shiawassee township with his resi-
dence on his farm about mile and a
half from Vernon, are taking pains to
iet their friends know that they want
OIL the votes possible to get in a legiti
pete way in the Shiawassee caucus.
II is conceded that Mr. Ward will make
the best showing in Bancroft village
ghiie the friends of Mr. Whelan among
IT,. farmers of the township have no
doubts about making a.good showing
II win be easily the most interesting
township contest in the county this
year. Both men are ready speakers
and either would be heard from in the

There seems to be no certainty what
ever in regard to the state senatorial

mart OF Ingham county to concede the
nomination to Shiawassee if the latter
county agrees on candidate. Dr. HI.
r, Halstead, of Perry, and Atty. Fred
j, Northway, of Durand, are in the race
for the nomination, while it is under
stood that E. J. Cook, of Shiawassee,
will take the nomination il it is offered
him but will not make canvass for the
honor and will not even permit his
friends to do anything towards making
a systematic canvass for him. If it
comes to him it will be because the farm
ers and other voters of the county wish
him to be their candidate without his
even asking them for it, That no man
ufactured sentiment is to be represented

Dlanks in the platform on which he
