sis is not sincere and honest one for
the reasons cited. The record of the

honesty of conviction of Hon. Fred M.

career, he has shown himself the more

their positions in the matter made his
name a national word and in the
years to come when the industry takes
its proper place in the American manu-
featuring and agricultural worlds the
name of Joseph w. Fordney will be one
of those most closely identified with the
story of its success.
The veterans Of the sixties are fast
passing from us. The time during
which their services can be in the
smallest way repaid is fast passing away.
In the matter of doing all that lies with
in the power of any man to make their
last days pleasant and to demonstrate
in some measure the appreciation that
the country feels toward them there
has never been more sympathetic
worker or a harder worker than the
present congressman. Many and many
have been the trips made by him when
beset with multitude of other cares to
the pension Office, there to urge the
favorable consideration of the claim of
some soldier whose needs had become
known to him. Many indeed haye been
the errands of this sort which have been
performed by him until his name is one
Of the most praised of all in every
Grand Army post in his district.
And so it would possible to go on for
pages recounting the thoughtful acts of
this congressman whom the eighth dis
trict of Michigan has learned to love
and to delight to honor With no un-
kind words for his opponents or those
who through habit or. otherwise vote
for the democratic nominee for congress
he nevertheless is more deeply entrench-
ed in the hearts of republicans and
democrats alike in this district than any
one can tell. He is an honor to the dis
trict and to the state which he repre-
sents and there will be no small number
of democratic voters as well as republi-
cans who will honor him and them
selves by voting for Congressman
Joseph Warren Fordney next Tuesday.

4 Eight years ago ALL the friends of
an honest. capable and progressive
administration of national affairs be-
gan to support the republican party.
| There is every assurance that this
year Roosevelt and Fairbanks will
receive larger majority than was
ever given in the state of Michigan.
This. majority will not be less than
100000. 1t may reach half as much
l again. s.
The continued steadfast support of
the republican policies by the peo-
pie of Michigan will be made evident
| once more in the vote on members of
congress- Each one of the republi-
cans now in the delegation will be
elected by an increased majority; and
the enthusiastic, determined and
well directed campaign in the First
District gives assurance of the cleo
ton of Edwin DENLY, thus restoring
unanimous delegation to support
sthe policies of the administration.
The opposition has concentrated its
attacks on Metropolitan state ticket,
and has hesitated at no falsehood or
malicious insinuation calculated to
bring dlscredlt upon our candidates.
Personal malignity could go no furth-
er than it has gone in this campaign.
The widest and most carefully pre-
pared information obtainable from
all sections of the state shows that
these attacks have been repealed sue
cessfully by the spotless records and
Che unquestioned ability of the re-
.Dtiblicanf candidatesl.and that Fred
M. Warner and the other candidates
ON the republican ticket will be elect
ed ylarge majorities,
There is no doubt, ALSO, that the
usual republican lnajorfties in both
branches OF the state legislature will
be ret1rned. This will. insure the

Campau, who foisted the name Oh rerr,s
ON the democratic convention as though
il were made of men of wood.
Thousands of voters, tens OF thous
ands of them, had hand in the seiec-
ton of the republican candidate. one
man dictated the selection OF the demo
cratic candidate The friends OF the re-
publican candidate all over the state
were so numerous and so loyal to the
oniet, unassuming gentleman from
Pennington, that long before the time
for the calling of the state convention
it became evident to all that Mr.. War
ner was the choice of many times as
many republicans as could be mustered
by any other candidate.
He was prominently a candidate
chosen by the rank and file of the party
and 80 completely had this been appar-
emit for more than a year before the
meeting of the state convention that no
machine would have dared to attempt
to interfere with his nomination. 1t
was the republican candidate and his
friends who led the machine-which
may or may not have existed-and not
machine which nominated Mr. War
ner. On the other hand the majority OF
the democratic convention fully expect
ed to vote for another man than the one
they finally selected for their candidate
for governor, and only voted for the
candidate they are now following be-
cause they had to follow at the bidding
of their machine which had absolute
control of the convention,
Again the record of Fred M. Warner
is that of man who is safe, a record
which has been consistent, which has
been tried in difficult places and has
rung true in every instance. He is
known to be a conscientious, solid bust
ness man with not one single weak spot
in his character. He was sincere in his
position in regard to primary reform.
The best primary election plan yet put
into execution has its faults which in
the opinion of many, and especially in
view of the experiences of this fall,
make it questionable whether it is not a
worse system than the regular caucus
and convention system now in vogue.
To make sweeping change compul-
sorry on the entire state before trying
out the faults of the new system seemed
wrong to Mr.. Warner who had given
the matter much close study and had
written to all the other states in which
the new system was tried to find out
just how far they had gone and what
their experience and best judgment in
the matter was.
This was fair to the party which NOM
mated him and was a far more honest
way of dealing with the electors of
Michigan than was that of jumping at
a new scheme of primary election by
man who by his own confession had not
for several years made any attempt
whatever to accomplish anything by
the present caucus system-not even
having attended caucus during that
time. The one attended his caucuses
and did the best he could in them for
his state and his party, all the time
studying the new system. The other
held aloof from his party caucuses, not
even taking enough interest in the
party or the state welfare to attend

AID THE FAMiShED.

How few people believed when d
small item was published in The
Tribune last week, suggesting the
sending of some of our surplus pota-
toe crop to relieve the famine in
Ireland. that within three days. forces
large enough to gather up from 100
to POO cars loads of potatoes and send
them to the sufferers would be at
work. In that short time also. the
necessary money to send the lot to
the Gulf has been raised, and now
men close to the government at
Washington have taken up the mat
ter. with the result, that the gov
ernment will without doubt charter
a steamer, and in a short time the
result of Greeley's generosity will be
with the famished.
thing appalling. Thousands of homes
are without food or heat, and al
ready people are dying from starva-
tion. And why? Because the po-
tato crop of that country has been
an utter failure, while the fields at
Greeley developed the most remark
able crop ever known. Now let Gree
ley farmers do their best. Let those
who can, give car load or two. Those
who cannot give so much.- let them
give according to their means, but
let the donation be generous. Those
who have not potatoes to give let
them donate money with which to
buy. The cause is worthy one,
and generous response to the call
for help will show to the world,
as nothing before has shown, that the
west has heart. always ready to
answer the call of the suffering.

Mountain News, and the gentle

up the noble work, in doing every
thing within its power to further
the matter.

Nathan Lamborn of Deuel.. Weld
county, arrived in Denver Friday
bringing news of the death of his
brother, Charles Lamborn, a promi
nent ranchman, who was killed by a
peculiar freak of the windstorm
Thursday Lamborn was haying on
the Owens ranch, of which he was
part owner. when the windStorm
came up. Although no one saw the
accident, it is believed he was stand
ing on the hayrack and that the
wind blew the heavy wagon over,
causing it to fall upon him crush
ing his head almost beyond recogni
tion. Toward evening, after the
storm, the horses came back to the
ranch minus the hayrack and with
broken harness. An investigation
was made and Lamborns body was
found beneath the overturned wagon.
Nathan Lamborn will make ar
rangements while here to have the
body of his brother shipped to New
York for burial. Charles Lamborn
was married and leaves large
