Venice writes THE TINES: How does
it look for Minto2 Is Owosso going to
stand by him? Ihope so. The republi-
cans of Shiawassee cannot afford to
give the democrats that Office right

be Owosso's fault. l believe Mimic
will get there" We, too, share the be-
lieve that Mimic will get there" In
fact that seems to be. the prevailing
opinion among republicans throughout
the county, who are fully awake to
the idea that Shiawassee needs re-
publican sheriff. We are also of the
opinion that Owosso republicans will
give good account of their vote on
this Office.

Primary Reform in Detroit.

Preparations are being made in De-
troit for the coming primary elections
through which both parties are to select
their city and county and district candi-
dates. In this connection the following
paragraph from the Detroit Evening
News is quite interesting:
Many candidates for city and county
officers are saving their money for the
end Of the race. They believe a dollar
spent at the end of September or early
in October will do more good than two
spent now. Others are letting the coin go
freely, some having exhausted their
bank accounts, and are already borrow
ing.
It will be noted that it is practical
application in the city of Detroit of the
"orimary reform" plan of making nomi-
nations that is causing some candidates
TO let their coin go freely and others to
exhaust their bank accounts. This is
Just the sort of thing the Detroit papers
have been assuring their readers would
be prevented by primary reform. There

have not yet however become accustom-
ed to the thoughtNof the farming coun-
try of the west as money power, in
spite of the evidence furnished by the
democratic abandonment of the cheap
money idea for catching the vote of the
western farmer. Much less would any
person have suspected that an Oklahoma
City bank would make bid for govern
ment bonds. considerably higher than
any submitted by the supposedly all
powerful New York bankers. Yet this
Is what happened this very week. The
fourth installment of Philippine bonds
for So, 900, 600 had been advertised for
sale and on Tuesday the bids for the
same were opened in Washington. To
the surprise of treasury officials, Wall
street, and the entire country alike, the
most advantageous bid was that made
by Mr.sM L. Turner, president of the
Western National Bank, of Oklahoma
City. That his nearest two competitors

wealthy, immensely wealthy. and moth
ding brings this more clearly to the minds
of the financial world than the incident
of this week involving the purchase of
these government bonds. The western
banks are filed with idle money seeking
investment. The western farmers are

to continue in positions of trust instead
of putting in party which during two
presidential campaigns tried to force a
cheap currency on them, and finally
abandoned the attempt unwillingly
only after the policy was rejected by the
most overwhelming and repeated votes.

morning of Nov % under the lead of

after ammunition and supplies, telling
General Phillips to wait for him at
Griswold. Il few miles east of Macon.
At the same time Wheeler moved off by
the south and east. intending to get
between Sherman and Augusta Smith
ordered Phillips to avoid battle with
the Federals if he met them and work
his way south to a junction with
Wheeler
AT the very time that Phillips march

the last stretch toward Gordon, sta
ton on the railway about twenty miles
east of Macon. General Woods di-
vision brought up the rear and was ap.
preaching GriswOld, the destination Of
Phillips. Phillips, either in his anX-
iety to get through to the east before
the route was closed to him or because
he wanted to try his mettle with the
Yankees, attacked brigade in posi-
ton with vigor. This brigade. led by
Colonel Walcutt, had been out on Il
reconnaissance toward Griswold and,
seeing the enemy coming up. drew
back to the crest of a hill which was
fianked Oh either side by swamp.
The sole approach to the hill where
Walcutt'S line stood was across open
ground. Phillips had four brigadcs of
infantry and two batteries, while Wal
cult had but two guns. Phillips meu
rushed TO the attack like veterans and
tried repeatedly to turn Walcutt's
TANKS at the swamps. but every charge
was repulsed, and Phillips finally re
treated after losing over 600 men killed
or wounded. Walcutt lost less than
100, but was himself wounded and dis
abled.
