CLIPPER HIS HAIR.

Ann Arbor, Mich, March 23.-Clip-

freshman POSTMASTER, walked out Of
the library building at the University
of Michigan yesterday, heart broken
himself and heart breaker to his
class, which for weeks has been pro-
tecting him by cordons of all-fresh
football players and other husky
chaps in the firm resolve to break pre-
cedent and make the class of 1907 ia
nous by preserving its toastmaster's
hair that he might not have to go
baldheaded to the banquet.
But at noon in plain sight OF the
faculty members, surrounded by doz-
ems of unsuspecting freshmen, with
upper classmen all about and never q
thought Of danger on Morgan's part,
20 nervy sophomores walked up to the
library chair where the toastmaster
was studying, surrounded him and
clipped out 20 tufts of hair, one for
each of the reckless sophs.
The 20 sophomores cannot keep
their identity concealed. Prof. Fin

who were the culprits, but no one

They Al Want Roosevelt.

The Toledo Blade has just presented
the results of remarkable canvass
which it has been conducting among its
weekly readers as to their choice for
president. The Blade has a general
circulation over the entire country, and
in every state of the union it finds that
the sentiment for the denomination and
reelection of President Roosevelt is over
whelming In the grand total there
were 1873, 1859 for Roosevelt, LILO for
Hanna, and 1917 for other possibilities.
The canvass was begun Jan. 81, and
closed Feb. 81. OF course the untimely
death of Senator Hanna undoubtedly
prevented many from casting votes for
him. but the thing had gone far enough
to show that the result would not have
been so different after all.

EFFICIENT OFFICER.
The Part He Has Played In Michigan
Politics.
rbe wyandotte Renuhlican

FROM The Wyandotte Republican.
The fact that he was born and reared
in Michigan and that his entire life has
been passed among the farmers and bust
ness men of this state wherein his every
interest is conferred makes the candidacy
of Fred M. Warner for governor appeal
10 the citizens of Michigan generally
and to the farmers and business men in
particular. His varied and extensive
business interests have brought him into
almost daily contact not only with the
wholesalers but with the farmers, mer-
chants and manufacturers who, after
all, represent the true business life of
Michigan. These business connections
have brought Mr.. Warner into close
touch with the people who, having ap-
piled the severe test incident to these
business relations and not found him
wanting in any particular, are in close
touch with him.
Much that is true and equally as
much that is utterly untrue has been
said and published regarding Mr. War
ner's attitude toward primary reform.
Notwithstanding the persistent misre-
presentation of his position in this mat
ter the people Of Wayne county as well
as the people of the state generally are
becoming more and more convinced that
he is the best friend of honest primary
reform of all those excellent citizens
whose candidacy for governor has been
either announced or suggested, that he
is the best friend of that primary cleo
hon reform which Will meet the public
demand for the elimination of the i'm
proper use of money, patronage or other
corrupt influence in the making of
nominations for public Office in this
state.
The best friend of true primary cleo
mon reform is the man who, with clean
record behind him, publicly announces
that he wants the people to decide this
matter for themselves and that when
the people have made their decision he
will exert himself to the utmost, both in
his public and private capacity, to carry
ont their will. This is the stamp of
man whom the people want.
Such a man is Fred NJ Warner. He
is a man of the people. His whole life
Inns been passed close to the people, and
his every interest is their interest.
Fred M. Warner has clean record
He has never debauched primary him
self nor permitted his friends to debauch
one for him. His political record is alb
solutely without a tarnish. How much
less there would be to complain of in the
political conditions which obtain in
Michigan today if all those who aspire
to the exalted position of governor had
always pursued the same course in this
respect that Mr.. Warner has always
taken. The people of Michigan have
given attention to this matter and they
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-03-25

One of the very strong objections to
an extreme primary election law, such
as the city daily papers are constantly
urging, is that it wipes out the rule of
the majority" This was plainly mani
fest in Grand Rapids Tuesday when a
Mayor and other city officers were nomi-
mated under the primary system of
direct voting" such as would prevail
under an extreme primary election law
in this state. For instance there were
four candidates for mayor on the repub-
lican ticket. Mr.. Gallmeyer received
1892 votes; Mr.. Rowson 1866; Mr.. Yves.
selius 24S3; Mr.. Loomis 1888. The total
vote cast for Mayor therefore was 1854.
Mr. Wesselius who received 24S3 votes
was declared the nominee on the repub-
lican ticket because he received plural
ity, although he received only about
one-third of the votes cast. 1t only
takes a plurality, not a majority, to
nominate, under a primary election law.
We cast no aspersions whatever upon
the candidacy of Mr.. Wesselius, who is
a bright shrewd man and will doubtless
make a first class mayor, but will simply
use his case as an example, rejecting in
no way upon his ability or personality.
He was not the choice of majority of
those republicans who voted for mayor.
In fact he was the choice of only about
one third of them. In his case, one
third overbalanced the action of the
other two thirds. Had there been six,
eight or ten candidates, and the vote
anywhere near evenly balanced, it can be
readily seen how the result would have
been intensely more striking, and a
much smaller percentage would have
dominated the actions of the rest. Our
government is pretty firmly established
on the rule of the majority" The ma
Jority ought to rule, and any effort to
overthrow it is very apt to open the
door to unlimited corruption, through
designing politicians, who only have to
IcCelNe pluldllty NOIe W rtCelNe d
nomination, and plurality vote might
not be over one-tenth of those cast. We
believe the people of this state will
make very grave mistake if they ever
adopt an extreme primary election law,
and the people of this Senatorial Dis
trict have every reason to be very thank
full to Senator elias gov, of Nashville,
for his honest, fearless and conservative
course on so called primary reform" in
the last legislature. Senator Glasgow,
like many others, was in favor Of con-
sentative primary law. The Banner is
eternally opposed to any other, and the
people of this state will rue the day they
ever pass any extreme measure doing
away with the rule of the majority; do
ing away with state conventions; and
centralizing political power in the cities
to the detriment of the rural COM
munities. Extreme primary reform,
like free trade is beautiful as theory,
but it is disastrous when put to the
practical test. Hastings Banner.

ICE GORGE BROKE.
Dam on Huron at Ann Arbor Torn Out
Others In Dancer

Dam on Huron at Ann Arbor Torn Out
Others In Danger.
Ann Arbor, Mich, March 23.-With
terrible crash the ice gorge, which
had formed on the Huron river Just
below the Scio dam, broke Tuesday
afternoon and tore down the Cornwall
dam at Fosters Corners, meanwhile
doing considerable damage to- the Sclo
dam. The debris was swept for miles
down the river. 1t is estimated that
the Cornwall dam cannot be repaired
for less than $4,000. and 1t will take
at least $4,000 to remedy the harm
which the Scio dam suffered.
The Michigan Milling Co., which
owned the dam at Scio, as well as an
other within the city limits, has a
large force Of men at work at the lat.
ter in an effort TO ward off the ice
which Is again packed some distance

gorge breaks nothing can save the lat

are very naturally and properly seeking
to locate the responsibility for the OBJ
jectionable conditions to which reference
is made. No man in Michigan could
truthfully lay this responsibility at Mr..
Warmers door. II is this fact, more than
any other one thing, that will make
Fred M. Warner the next governor of
Michigan.
Another thing to which the people of
this state are giving more than passing
attention is the splendid record that has
been made by Mr. Warner as member
of the board of state auditors. This
board is composed of three members
the secretary of state, the state treasur-
err and the commissioner of the state
land Office. These three men pass upon
thousands of bills that are annually pre-
scented to the state for payment. The
present chairman of this most import
ant board is Fred M. Warner, and, with
out detracting in the least from the good
work of the other members, it can be
truthfully said that the disbursements
of the state of Michigan which are
authorized or passed upon by this board
were never more carefully guarded nor
more scrupulously kept within the lines
of honest and practical business princi-
Piles than they have been during the
past three years under the direction of
Mr.. Warner.
Mr.. Warner has always zealously and
intelligently guarded the public interest
that have been committed to his charge,
and all his actions in connection there
with have been characterized by that
same care and prudence which, in pri-
vate life, have made him successful
merchant, cheese manufacturer and
farmer, and an all around good business
man.
No better evidence of his care for the
interests of the state and his capacity as
business man could be produced than
his recent shrewd move on behalf of the
state whereby the United States govern
ment is to pay twenty thousand dollars
toward the expenses of the forthcoming
state census, thus not only saving the
people of Michigan twenty thousand
dollars in taxes, but providing plan of
cooperation that will result in ma
terial saving to the general government
as well.
These are the things which insure Mr..
Warner our support, and which make
certain the success of his campaign in
Wayne county and the state. These
are the things that will make Fred M.
Warner the next governor of Michigan.
While Wayne county has no candi-
date for governor this year, Mr.. War
ner is practically Wayne county man,
having lived all his life within stones
throw of the county, and transacting all
his business in the city of Detroit
That is what has brought him his hun
dreds of personal friends all over the
county.
