Senator CullOm'S Victory.

Illinois and the nation profit alike
through the action of the Repub-
licans Of that State at Saturdays
primaries. Senator Cullom's victory
over former Governor Yates was
forecasted That he would win by
an impressive majority was expect
ed. 1t is good TO have the news,
nevertheless.
Two factors complicated the con-
test and involved the issue as no
opposition to Senator Cullom alone
could have done. One was the bar
gain struck at the recent Repub-
lican convention 10 nominate the
party's candidate for governor. The
other was an organized attack by
the opposition TO the Senator on
every Federal ofticeholder.
At the Springfield deadlock, il viii
be remembered, Governor Yates
threw the weight of his support 10
candidate Deneen. 1t was said then,
and it is believed now, that the con-
sideration was a promise from De
neen TO support Yates for the
United States Senate. Without the
strength of the Deueen organization
il is doubtful if Yates could have
made a decent showing. As the sit
uation now is, that showing is about
all the satisfaction Yates will ever
get out of his maneuvering at
Springfield.
1t did not prove good politics TO
fight the Federal crowd" The ef-
feet was only to solidify every mem
ber Of Congress and every Office
holder against Yates-and il should
be remembered in this connection
that the present Illinois delegation
in the House includes men like Nc
Kinney, of Rock Island, and Mad,
den, of Chicago, who have been pow
ers in local politics for twenty
years. Coupling their strength with
that of Mr.. Cullom's manager,
United States Marshal c. p. Hitch,
seemed to outside eyes to insure
the venerable Senator's reelection.
What The Times thinks of the
merits of the controversy has been
stated in these columns more than
once. Senator Cullom is a legis-
lator of proven acumen and un.
questioned character. In the course
of a career which makes him one
of the veterans of the upper house
he has been able to acquire a per
sonal influence beyond that Of most
Senator's in the history of that body.
His value to Illinois in protecting
her interests is as practical and as
sure as the farmers profit on his
corn. And his value 10 the nation.
though proven many times, was
more than sufficiently established
by his notable service this last ses-
sion in support of the President.
1t is good To learI that he is TO
continue in the service Of both State
and nation. May his health con
tinue to be good and his strength
belle his years!

A WORTHY CANDIDATE.
G. w. Shipman for County Treasure
Is Receiving Cordial Support.

HE will be elected by good thous-
and majority Thus spoke promi-
nent attorney of the chances of Chas.
w. Shipman, of Venice. being elected
county treasurer on the republican
ticket. Mr.. Shipman's election is al
ready conceded, the only matter at issue
being the size of his majority.
Mr. Shipman speaks very modestly of
his campaign. He is taking nothing for
granted just because there is a good
normal republican majority, but is
making thorough, persistent canvass.
The Office of treasurer is an honorable,
important one, and Mr.. Shipman's as
pirations are worthy.
The attorney spoke further II could
give you several good reasons why Mr..
Shipman should be elected this fall. Let
us speak this time of the geographical
reason. There is such thing in poll
tics as passing around good things.
The present treasurer comes from
Owosso. His predecessor, Mr. Kay,
was Woodruff man in the southwest
part of the county. Then before him
came r. J. Colby, of Shiawassee,
George Mason, of Corunna, Ezra Mason
of Owosso township, and Albert Todd,
of Owosso.
You don't remember of hearing that
man in the northeastern part of the
county was ever treasurer, do you? No.
Well, then, now is the time to give a
man over Venice way show, parti-
cularly when that man is so thoroughly
honorable and capable as Mr.. Shipman.
Logically he is down in the books for a
sure election. Just think it over"
The argument is good one,
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1906-10-12

Just why the aldermen should hest
tate about trying voting machines for
the coming election is hard to under
stand. The installation of these ma
chimes will make saving of expense at
svesy election. and the terms of pur-
sbase are so liberal that the item of
cost would never be felt by any one.
Buy the machines now. Do not wait
until every other progressive city and
village in Michigan has them and then
he forced to put them in

The new canvassing board elected is
one of the best the county ever had.
Joseph HI. Collins is an attorney and
well versed in the election laws, and
Cass S. Reed is one of the well known

son is merchant of Laingsburg. The
board is to be congratulated on the good
choice made. -Corunna Journal

Our friends on the other side say the
county of Houghton has not been as
sessed as to the full cash value, but it is
the only county in the state that pays
more state tax than it gets back, in pri-
mary school money. But one other
fact in that connection our democratic
friends in 1890 fixed it at 40 million
dollars and the equalization of 1901
made it 140 million dollars; that is only
an increase of one hundred millions,
and the present governor of the state
was a member of the board who put it
one hundred million dollars higher than
it was.
AT the last session of the legislature
Shiawassee county was represented by
one, who, next to the speaker, was the
most important member of the House,
Mr.. Charles E. Ward, who as chairman
of the committee on Ways and Means
passed upon all bills involving expendi-
ture of money. 1t was my privilege
many times during the last session to
have business with the committee on
Ways and Means and the care exercised
by Mr.. Ward and the firm stand taken
by him along the lines of economy,
won the admiration of those with whom
he came in contact. One who occupied
so responsible q position during his
second term bids fair to be even a
greater factor in the next house and
Shiawassee county is to be congratu-
lated upon again nominating Mr.. Ward
for representative.
During the address Mr. Kelley paid a
splendid personal tribute to Gov. Warn
or and Congressman Fordney, both of
whom have so often proven their loyal
ty to the people.
After the meeting the republicans of
Bancroft provided light lunch and an
hour was spent in social way, giving
the county nominees an opportunity to
meet and become acquainted with
many people. All in all the meeting
was great success and an auspicious
opening for the campaign.
