BIG CIRCUS FOR ALMA.

Bsrnum & Bailey circus, was in Alma
the first Of the week and closed contra cts
for the great show TO be here some time
the latter part Of May or the first Of uns
the date not having been decided upon.
If all signs don't fail this winter as it is
said they do during dry weather, we are
to have spring and summer this year the
same as usual. Notwithstanding the
many doubts that have been expressed
10 that effect during the past month.
The circus agent is as certain sign as
the ground b x tbs said, and he is sure

After carefully reviewing the editorial
columns OF a majority of the newspapers
publie he'd in the Eleventh Congressional
District, we feel that larger portion OF
them are in hearty accord aud will stand
almost as a unit in favor OF breaking up
that idea OF giving a congressman but
two terms. If our congressman Is TO De
a figure head only. then continue the
method, but if we wish to have our
representative do some good for our dis
trict then continue him there for at least
three terms. or as long as he is or value
90 the district.
The Elk Rapids Progress "sees no rea-
son why the voters Of this district should
seek a change from their present ELL
cient representative, the Hon. A. b.
Darragh. He is now serving his second
term aud with the experience acquired
during that time is certainly better quail
flied to care for the needs OF his constit-
uents than any other man in the dis
trict. who has not from actual expert
ence acquired the same qualihcatlons'
>. 1t seems to US that the retire.
ment of successful congressman after
serving four years is mistake; and MI.
Darragh has been successful.
Mr.. Darragh Is not an orator. but he has
done good work for his district, and can
do better work in the third term. We
are not discussing men in this connec-
ton, but an abstract principle. We do
not believe in the two term limitation,
and we see no reason why change Is
especially desirable at this time"
The Breckenridge Clarion strongly
supports the long-term principle and
saws: "At last the Republican party IN
the Eleventh district are coming to their
senses aud are strongly supporting the
Hon. A. B. Darragh for Congress and
are trying TO stop the nonsense OF Kill
ing off a congressman every four years
and putting in a new man. Our present
Congressman, Hon. A. B. Darragh, has
done us credit 80 far and we should moi
make election to Congress a social honor
and pass it around among the good fel
lows OF the party, whether or not hi'
congressional career would be credit
70 his party. The Hon A. b. Darragt
can accomplish more in the next two
years than any other person spoken o.
for the nomination and,we see no reason
WHY he should not succeed himself

CAUCUS NEXT MONDAY NIGHT.
Candidates are being Groomed for Favors
at the Hands of the Voters.

Siuce the announcement OF the call
for the Republican caucus in the public
hall next Monday night, local politics
have been taking on considerable color.
Locally, politics are not TO be so much
considered as the fitness of the man for
the office, and especially is this true in
Alma where there is usually only one
ticket and the strife is fought out in the
caucus.
Each OF the candidates so far men,
toned has been interviewed by The
Record and an expression obtained as
to whether or no they desired the nOmi-
nation. President O.. s. Young is ready
to accept the denomination if the people
desire il aud he places his candidacy in
hands OF his friends. John +. Schwartz
is being pushed forward by his friends
for the Office and il nominated will
accept it. although he does not wish to
make any personal effort for the nomina-
ton. w. w. Kinch, for the past seven
years the efficient clerk OF the village, is
ready to accept the Office another year
il the people want him to do so, while
CARTS Brown is making an effort to
secure the nomination Monday night
For treasurer there seems TO be only one
candidate, Theodore w. Marsh, who
has filled the Office very acoeptably
durinp the mast wear
In the matter Of trustees, there are
Delavan, Sanderhoff and Montigel who
retire this year and Sanderhoff and
Montigel have signified their willingness
to accept a denomination, while Delavan
feels that he is willing to pass 1t up to
some other man as he has been on the
board continuously for four years. The
names OF M. A. Holmes, A. +. Mulhol.
land and z. n. Bland have been men
toned as candidates for trustees and II
nominated they will accept, although
they are not seeking it
1t is not for The Record to enlarge
upon the merits Of the different candi
dates. They are all well-known to the
citizens OF Alma and need no recon-
mendation. 1t isa question for theil
friends and those interested in the well
! fare of Alma to decide.
