TOWER OF STRENGTH

Congressman H. G. Smith in an inter
view in the Saginaw Courier-Herald G
the Goth inst. spoke as follows of Hor
j. w. Fordney:
Congressman Fordney is splen-
did fellow. | feel that / know him.
We officed together for four years,
and tell you outside of members of
congress who gain an influence by
their positions on important com
mittees, such. as ways and means,
appropriations, and river and har-
bors, there is no man in congress
who has greater personal inhu-
ence than Congressman Fordney.
In the beet sugar contest last winter
it was Congressman Fordney's per-
sonal influence that brought many
members to support the Michigan
interests. He kept the Michigan
delegation in line. When the case
looked hopeless, and nearly every
one else was ready to give up, he
stood firm and would not yield.
When the tide turned he was the
rallying point. If people of this
district appreciated what a tower OF
strength Congressman Fordney is in
Washington, they would return him
unanimously.
Right here | want to say word
about President Roosevelt and the
beet sugar question. l have no
[, sugar interests in my district. l
have talked with the president on
the matter He is not opposed to
the sugar men. According to his
constitutional duty he submitted
his views on the Cuban question to
congress. There his responsibility
ended. 1t was for congress to de-
termine what should be done, and
the president has no animosity to-
wards those congressman who diff
fered with him.

forenoon of That day he was asked by

Der that the time. was up, no protest
had been heard. was assured that the
people of Detroit wished the measure
and was asked to sign it which he did.
The speaker then referred to the
growing state institutions which have
been kept abreast of the times in spite
OF the fact that the state tax is only
about one-half what it was year ago
ana less than before for years. Above
all the administration had been free
from scandal of any sort. Reference of
an extended sort was made to the mat,
ter OF trusts and the fallacy of supposL
ing that the protective tariff was to
blame for their presence since free
trade England contained the greatest
trusts in the entire world and the
trusts which We're the worst in this
country the Standard oil trust and the
anthracite coal trust were not protect.
ed at all. The growth of our foreign
trade was touched on and a glowing
tribute paid to the memory of the late
President Mckinley. The way in
which the nation has always found a
man equal to the needs of the hour was
commented on with reference to many
of the nations heroes from the days Of
the revolution to the days of Manila
and Santiago and ON to the day when
Theodore Roosevelt succeeded to the
presidency through the death of the
beloved Mckinley. A strong appeal
was then made to the voters to stand
by the president who was now serving
them so nobly. In no more effective way
could this be done then by re-electing
Congressman Fordney, who would be
in position where he could stand by
and for him in all trying times. He
closed with an earnest appeal to all re-
publicans to get out to vote There
was great danger that they would be
lulled with sense Of too great secur-
ity. All We're urged to be missionaries
in the cause. The address was one
which cannot fail of doing good at the
polls next Tuesday.

Sugar Beet Joe."

The Michigan Sugar Beet, thoroughly
acquainted with the immensely valu.
able services of Hon. J. w. Fordney to
this sugar beet growing district, is
warmly in favor of his return to the
house. In an editorial it says:
Mr.. Fordney has won for himself the
sobriquet of Sugar Beet Joe" from
some of his opponents, who, strange to
say, are also located right in the midst
of this great industry and know what it
means for the district. In our judg.
ment this is the most distinguished title
that can be won in the district, at this
time, when the sugar trust is making
such war on the greatest agricultural
industry this state has seen in many q
year. This title is one that Mr.. Ford.
ney can wear with honor, for he won it
by his valor for the cause in battle
waged by the strongest trust of these
days and in opposition to the will of the
president of the United States. Mr..
Fordney had the courage to stand pat
for this industry and the people of his
district will stand pat for him, for they
well Bnow what the trust would do to
the sugar beet industry if it were not
for few men like Sugar Beet Joe,"
with back bone enough to stand up for
the industries of their district
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-10-31

| Owosso men are bound to see that
the acreage is raised, the county at
large is equally bound so far as a
moral obligation is concerned and
so far it is their duty to give value re-
ceived for what they.are getting. There
is no question but that the great bulk
of the advantage derived from the pres
ence of sugar factory in the county
will go directly to the farms of the
county. In spite of that the county at
large is asked to assume only one-half
the estimated cost, and that to be used
in the work of securing the necessary
acreage which had to be pledged in
order to get the factory. The factory
has been secured because Owosso men
had the nerve and the confidence in the
progressive spirit of the rest of the
county to seize the opportunity when it
came. If they had waited for other
methods the factory would never have
been secured for the county. tbs GER
tainly to be hoped that the voters of the
county will view the matter in this
light and remember that their vote
when they come to the booths on Mon
day the first day of December will be
an expression Of the willingness or un-
willingness to assist in bearing small
part of the expense in getting this fac
tory where it will be a lasting benefit
to every farmer and every other citizen
in the entire county But perhaps this
is getting ahead of the story.
The supervisors, at the request OF the
Owoss6 business men, passed resolu-
tion calling a special election for the
purpose of having the county vote on
whether or not it should bear the ex-
pense of raising the acreage for the fac
tory-Owosso city again bearing its
share of this tax in addition to the en-
tire amount of the cost of the site with
necessary street opening, grading, etc.
THE TIMES feels certain that there is
not man in the county who would OBJ
ject to paying the small amount which
such action would assign to him if he
realizes the amount of good the factory
will do for the entire county and it is
sincerely to be hoped that no dissatis-
faction of any kind will prevail on any
to vote against it December 1st The
acreage has got to be secured and sure
ly the county is not going to ask the
men who had confidence enough in it
and had its best interests enough at
heart to guarantee this result to bear
the cost of it themselves.
Mr.. B. E. Smith, who is to be the as
sistant secretary and treasurer of the
company, is in the city and can be
found at the bank of M. L. Stewart 81
Co. until such time as suitable Office
can be found. Mr. Smith will have
charge of the work of securing acreage
and desires to meet all persons interest
ed. Call upon him and give him con-
tract to grow beets.
The citizens of Corunna, realizing the
Importance of this industry and what it
means to the entire county, have signed
an agreement to secure contracts for
500 acres of beets or to grow them after
the necessary 5000 acres have been Sc
cured. Owosso citizens are also sign
ing an agreement to care for /, 900 acres
in the same manner.
