owosso. FRIDAY. OCT. as, 1904.

Mr.. Jarrad, democratic candidate for
sheriff, helped audit Sheriff Gerow's
bills one year. Perhaps the insight in
to the lucrativeness of the Office gained
in this manner was one of the reasons
for his 'consenting to run" for the office
himself this year.

Fred M. Warner, republican candi-
date for governor, has always been
large employer of labor, and has never
had any difficulty with his workingmen.
He has always paid good wages, and in
Pennington village, his home town, he
has built homes for many of his en-
ployes, and they have paid for these
homes on the installment plan from the
wages paid them by their employer.
Men employed by Fred M. Warner are
among his stanchest friends and sup
porters, and have always been so.

The Roosevelt electors stand on the
ballot directly under the picture Of
Lincoln. Between the picture and the
name is circle, and cross (x) marked
in that circle gives the vote to Roose-
velt, and nothing more needs to be
done. The method of marking the
cross in the square before the names is
unsatisfactory, for if one is missed that
that one loses the vote, and if that one
should be defeated, one electoral vote
would be lost. Several were so lost
four years ago, in other states.

NJ man has risen to prominence in
public life in Michigan in the last quarter
of a century who is more truly self
anade man than Mr.. Warner. What he
has won has been through his own
efforts and worth. His nelghbors, the
men who know him BEST have always
stood by him, not in obedience to the
demands of some machine or boss, or
: through any other influence than their
desire to support him because they liked
him. He was their style of man; they
knew him and knew they could trust
him. Every time he has been candi-
date for Office he has commanded not
only the full strength of his party but
also has received many votes from the
other parties. - Muskegon Chronicle.

Sheriff Gerow seems to see charge
of extravaganza in the statement pub
hshed recently showing the expenses
of the sheriff's office under his admins
tration and those of the three proceed
ing sheriffs He has very child-like
way of answering the charge which he
assumes is made. He says that he
thinks the Office should be put on a
straight salary basis so that the sheriff
would have no opportunity to run up
such an expense account. That's all.
Pretty good after pocketing nearly
eleven thousand dollars last year in adj
dition to the expenses incurred by his
deputies and in addition to his fees in
civil cases-which were not included in
the published statement of expenses.
