Why Not lndorse Mr.. Fordney?

There is absolutely no interest among
the Democrats of the Eighth congress
sional district in the coming congress
sional election As far as can be learn
81 the congressional COMMITTEES has
never met for the purpose of consider
ing when. aconvention should be called,
the party leaders are at sea as to the
availability of any Democrat and the
rank and file of the party is particularly
contented with Jos. w. Fordney and
his service in the lower house. 1t has
been mahy years, in fact, since the ma
jority has been as well satisfied as it is
today.
There is no democrat, even though
he be the most hide bound partisan who
dares prophesy victory for the democrat.
ic congressional ticket in this district
this fall The democrats don't care to
beat the present congressman. He is as
popular with them as he is with the
dominant party. In fact, it is much
mooted question as to whether the mi
nority can get candidate to run against
him this fall.
Two years ago the party leaders had
nm experience which Disguised them.
The nomination was going begging.
Ehen Saginawian went after it. He
was personally very distasteful to the
machine in control and it was only
after much personal expense and effort
that Farmer" Youmans landed the
nomination. Rather than repeat that
experience there is no doubt that many
of the leaders would prefer Mr.. Fordney,
and inasmuch as there is no guarantee
that similar conditions will not exist
fhis year, perhaps it would be well for
them to seek cover at once. AT any rate
It is useless to spend money and squander
time in running congressional cam
paign. Many of the most influential
democrats in the city not only admit
this, but they are openly advocating
that it be not undertaken during the
coming presidential campaign.
Mr.. Fordney's record has been one of
which every man, woman and child in
this district can be proud. Why, then,
should he not be endorsed by all political
parties for reelection ?-Saginaw Cour-
Ter Herald.

The dispatch to the Bourse Gazette,
which is dated Thursday evening, says:
There has been fierce fighting Tues
day, Wednesday and to-day. The Jap
anese made a vigorous attack on the
center of the Russian position at HUT
siatze. The enemy was fifty-four bat
talions strong, thirty-six of which
were regular troops and the balance
reserve men. General Kuroki employ
ed the reserve men in the attack, while
the regulars carried out tht feints in
tended to delude the Russians. The
reserve men attacked with desperation.
Their ranks were decimated by the
Russian fire each time they advanced,
but the vacancies were quickly filed by
fresh men. The Russians ultimately
slowly retired to suitable positions,
whence they inflicted great losses on
the japanese with heavy artillery fire.
The Japanese losses are estimated at
10000 to 13, ,00O. The Russian losses were
comparatively insignificant"
