EDITOR Owosso. TINES.
Dear Sir: I am pleased to congratu-
late you and your brother editors of the
Owosso papers in taking the stand
which you do in trying to educate the
people to see the wrongs committed by
their representatives in Office whereby
The taxes of the county must constantly
soar skyward so as to keep pace with
their rapidity for graft,
With large majority of my neigh
bors regardless of party affiliations I re-
gard the action taken by the representa-
tive citizens of O~osso as being the
action of honest men, who wish to try
and protect the unprotected farmer who
is paying all he is able to pay without
being called upon to pay for padded re-
ports. To my mind there is ring of
leeches in Office who are not content
with the fees allowed them but they
must resort to other means so as to rake
in the shekels faster, perquisites of
Office come too slow, padded reports
must be resorted to as they are less liza.
BILE to detection and mere remunerative
to the recipient.
| The action Of the business men of
Owosso tending towards the calling of a
grand jury to investigate the rumors
aAoat regarding some Of our officials
has the hearty support of every right
minded citizen and they will sup
port every legitimate move you make to
unearth crookedness wherever it is
found to exist, and I and all, say go
ahead, hew straight to the line regard
less of where the chips fly and run the
rascals to earth if they are guilty.
Our supervisors might have saved the
county some expense if they had fear
lessly done their duty, but some of them
are evidently shielding some officials
who need the search light thrown upon
them, and acted accordingly, but
their actions are noted for future refer
ence. hope you will ceaselessly con-
tinue the agitation for grand jury un-
til it is granted. and rest assured your
action will meet with the appreciation
henchmen, them you need have no fear
of, as men entrusted with given re-
sponsibility and found recreant to that
trust, have little influence in the com
munity in which they live. Some
of the supervisors do not seem to care
much for the interests of their con.
stituents as shown by their recent
dip into the records of county officials.
Whether they lack the ability for such
an important undertaking, or that they
are biased in favor of officials under
fire remains to be seen, but in either
case they show an utter want of the
peoples interest in their findings, and
hope their constituents will remember
their particular records in past meetings
when they again ask the peoples suf
frages.
/ again reiterate to you and ask yor
to use all your influence both persona,
and business as editor of your widely
circulated paper in educating the PEG
pie to the gross injustice being done
them by the continuation in office OF
men who misuse the confidence reposed
in them by taking every opportunity
which presents itself to rob them col
lectively.

the eve of election Ohio voters were still

Intensity of the campaigning and the

new adherents have been secured almost
to balance the loss. The full registration
figures this year are unknown, bit in
nearly all sections Of the state there was
u pronounced gain over the registration
Of two years ago. and very little short
OF the big figures Of the presidential year.

MARYLAND CAMPAIGN.
Politicians Ignore All Issues for

BALTIMORE, MD, November g.
Though the campaign in Maryland prac-
caly closed Saturday night. SO far as
public meetings were scosecrncd, the lead
ers and party workers in the city wards
and in the counties spent busy day In
giving the finishing touches to the final!
arrangements for to-morrow's battles.
To-days morning and afternoon papers
were replete with fervid addresses to
voters, all being devoted to the proposed
amendment to the Constitution to bar IL
literate voters, particularly negroes. To
such an extent has this issue nonopoized
public interest that anot1er proposed
amendment to secure good roads In the
State has hardly been mentioned. and
the executive and local candidates have
secured scant attention. 1t is agreed the
campaign over the suffrage amendment
has been one OF the most exciting and
bitter in the history ofathe State, the
Democratic Itlrty especially In Baltimore,
being squarely divided into two factions.
the pro-amendment forces being led by
Senator German, and the ants by Sena-1
tor Raynor and Governor Warfeld, with
the Republicans united under the leader
ship Of Secretary OF the Navy Bonaparte.
Tonight the chairmen Of the Repub-t
slican and Democratic State Committees
predict a victory for their respective par
ties, though, on account Of the Demo-
cratic division, the feeling OF confidence
Is much more apparent among the Repub-s
slican managers than with the Democrats.

Charles Comisky, a Republican leader

mitted the assault. and that he recog-
nized three of them.
Attorney General Mayer will take an
active part III watching the election. He
will make an automobile tour of all the
police courts In Manhattan and the Bronx
during the day to confer with his spe-
cial deputies, and he on hand to give
any assistance and advice that may he

ton laws and the rights of the citizens.
The preparations made by Mr.. Mayer
are the most extensive made by any at
torney-general for election day in the
past.
Considerable confusion Is feared arls-
Ing out OF the question OF the split ball
lots. AS there is reason to believe that

had a special instruction sent to the IN
spectOrs of election to place all such
ballots in the contested envelopes and
not in tho invalid envelopes. The reason
for this Is because 1t is a matter for the
courts to decide whether the ballot is
invalid or whether it should count for
