A Brief Statement.

Chas. Z. Ward, continues this week,
in the papers published in the smaller
towns of the county, the scurrilous
campaign begun by him Immediately
after the announcement of my candi-
dacy for the Republican nomination
for Representative. My friends pre-
sumed they had the right to suggest
another candidate for the nomination
for Representative; that 1t belonged
to no one man by divine right. My
announcement seemed at once to be
resented by Mr.. Ward, and every
week since he has published in one
or more papers paid articles intended
to injure me in the eyes of the pub
lie In general and Republicans in par
ticular.
After several such articles appeared,
in which false and misleading state
ments were made, published an arti-
Gle In The Evening Argus on the 14th
inst, headed, 1T Is Not True" refer
ring to the statements published by
Mr.. Ward, directly and indirectly and
making known the facts in the case
| will add nothing to the statements
made by me in the article in The
Evening Argus, and have nothing to
retract.
If l desired and if it seemed good
policy, l could easily carry on a
newspaper controversy with Mr.. Ward
until the time of the primaries. /
firmly believe, however, that such a
course is detrimental to the best in
terests of the Republican party, to
which | hold allegiance, and whose
welfare is of more Importance to the
public than any aspirations l may
have. The style of campaign inau-
gurated by Mr.. Ward, l believe, also
reflects to degree upon the other
candidates, and | regret that anything
should arise to add to the burden of
the campaign for election that is to
follow the present campaign.
1 am much gratified with the re-
ceptiOn / have met as a candidate,
and frankly say l expect to receive
the nomination. This being true, and
knowing that my long residence in
the county and connection with pub
lie affairs has given the people an
opportunity of knowing me, l prefer
to trust to their judgment and sense
of right rather than indulge in a
style of campaign that is beneath the
dignity of the Office to which / aspire.

Speaker Cannon Mr.. Fordney's Man.

From the Saginaw News:
Congressman Fordney Is for Speak
er Joseph G. Cannon for the republican
presidential nomination in 1908. He
thinks every Michigan congressman
feels the same way and that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not be strongly
considered or urged as the convention
day draws near.
In an interview with a News report
er in reference to the Cannon presi-
dental boom and as to what his ideas
were in the matter Mr.. Fordney said
that he was a Cannon man from start
to finish and that 1t was his honest be-
lief that Cannon was the strongest
man in the country today and that the
party could not get man better fitted
for the place. Mr.. Fordney said that
there were a great many people who
claimed that Uncle Joe's age would
be a drawback This, he said, was out
of the question, although Mr.. Cannon
was 20 years of age. He was still as
vigorous as a man of 60 and his age
and experience were in the main adj
vantageous to the place.
He also said that the Michigan dele
gates to the convention would all be
SdnlOll illCL thCiN was NV
one congressman in the state that did
not hold up both hands for Cannon.
That Mr.. Cannon was in many re-
spects like Roosevelt, being man
who stood pat and who was not afraid
to carry out any plan which he
thought right though everybody op-
posed it.
Mr.. Fordney, in speaking of the
other possible candidates for the pres
idency said that Fairbanks would be
his second choice, and that the Taft
and Root boom were of no conse-
quence in his opinion, he being Meth
er Taft not a Root man.
Mr.. Fordney also told of an incident
which happened about a week ago
when he was taking dinner with Mr..
Cannon. After dinner toasts were
given and Mr.. Fordney drank toast
to the health of the next presidential
candidate, Mr.. Cannon. In answering
the toast Mr.. Cannon said, though he
was not a candidate for president,
but that the party could look farther
and do worse" which in Mr.. Fordney's
mind was the unalloyed truth.

calities in the county, particularly in
the city of Owosso and in Durand
where whole sections have been cut
into small pieces and described by
metes and bounds, making the work
OF abstracting extremely difficult The
knowledge OF man like Mr.. Peacock
is almost invaluable to the people of
the county in this office. The work
of the Office in every detail requires
skill and some training along clerical
lines, knowledge oil land descrip-
tons, etc. In each of these details
Mr.. Peacock is fitted to give Shiawas-
see county people the very best SER
vice. Having spent the best years of
his life in the registers Office in this
work for the people without the emol-
of office, Mr.. Peacock believes
he has earned promotion and asks
your support at the primaries Sept
4th. His admitted superior qualifica-
tons should count in his behalf.

THE WAY THEY FEEL.
The Farmers Of Shiawassee County
Favor G. T. Campbell For
Representative.
From the Evening Argus.

From the Evening Argus.
Persons in touch with the farmers
of the county know that, as a class,
they are largely favorable to the nom
ination of Geo. T. Campbell for the
Republican nomination for represen-
tative. This is due to several rea-
sons. One is the fact that the present
incumbent has held the office two
terms, which is as long as the county
has given the Office to any man, and
they do not believe there is any good
reason now for changing the rule.
Much of Mr.. Campbell's support has
been voluntary. The following from
one of the best known and most rep
resentative farmers of the county is

publican nomination for county clerk
he comes before the people with a
clean record and with the ability and
integrity to give the people the very
best of service in this responsible Of
flee if they should confer the honor
upon him of nominating and electing
him.
Bert is a good campaigner, makes
friends wherever he goes, and his

are very anxious to see him nominat-

WANTS ONE MORE TERM.
This Popular Official Has the Right to
Ask Il, Too.

From the Dursrd Express:
1t was a right royal hand that was
extended to John Y. Martin in Durand
last Thursday, when Mr.. Martin met
some of the enrolled republicans here.
Our own county clerk wants re-nomi
nation. It might be added that he will
undoubtedly get it. When the consid-
GRAFTON is given him for the tedious
year he has just served as clerk. costing
him extra money for deputies salaries,
as well as unlimited worry and duties
for himself, it is not to be wondered at
that he would like another term. He is
justly entitled to it. There never will
be another such a bad year as the one
just passed.
Mr.. Martin has been one of the best
county clerks Shiawassee county ever
had. Nobody disputes the fact. He
will be satisfied with one more term,
and in consideration of this the plum
will be handed him.

Believes Barnes Would Be Easy Win
ner for Sheriff.
From the Durand Express:
II am glad to note that sentiment for
j. Frank Barnes is growing in this
vicinity" said a Durand man the other
day. mr.. Barnes is worthy of this
consideration given him. He is a
neighbor of Vernon township and the
farmers around here here seem to know
him and realize he would make them
the kind of sheriff they want. If Barnes
gets the nomination. and he certainly
has a fine chance, believe he will be
elected with several hundred votes to
spare"

What Liquozone Is.

The virtues OF Liquozone are derived
solely from gases. The formula is sent to
each user. The process of making re-
quires large apparatus, and from 8 to IA
days. time II Is directed by chemists
OF the highest class. The object is to so
fix and combine the gases as to carry into
the system a powerful tonic-gcrmicide.
Contact with Liquozone kills any form
of disease germ, because germs are Of
vegetable origin. Yet to the body Liquo-
zone is not only harmless, but helpful
in the extreme. That is its main dis
tinction. Common germicides are poison
when taken internally. That is why
medicine has been SO helpless in a germ
disease. . Liquozone is exhilarating, vi
talizing. purifying; yet no disease germ
can exist in 1t.

BUILDING OPERATION
PROMISE Is FOR 4 LIVELY RUSH
FROM NOW On.
Many Substantial Buildings, Say the
architects, Are Contemplated
and VIII BE Erected.

The building season proper opened
up today with the first work day of
April, and there is general stir in
the circles. Every indication points
to an unprecedented season for the
trades, and one very gratifying mat
ter Is the amicable settlement OF
the union men with the contractors.
The trades unions, with one ex-
ception. have settled all matters per-
tanning to the wage scales, and
harmonious season will result. The
br!cklayers' new scale went into ef-
feet today. II is the same as last
year except ona clause pretaining
to water, and compelling the bosses
to furnish the bricklayers and other
employees ice water. One other
clause for the protection of local
contractors was inserted. II adds
so cents perday for all work done by
local bricklayers for persons not
regular signed local contractors,
showing the desire OF the brick mas
ons to protect the local signed con-
tractors. Bricklayers get $3.50
day for eight hours; mortar mixers
$3.50. and brick carriers 81 for
eight. hours. The latter two have
signed up with the brick men, but
some little misunderstanding exists
between the plastering mixers and
carriers and the plastering contrac-
tors. 1t is said. however. this will,
be amicably settled.
The plumbers today are working
under new contract which has
been signed by a majority OF the
proprietors. II gives them 81 per
day for eight hours. They formerly
got $3.50.
The only union connected with the
building trades not signed is the
carpenters, but the scale will not be
presented until May 1st. They want
35 cents per hour. or s2.S0 a day.
They are now getting $3.50 a day.
1t is said this increase will be grant
ed.
With the union scales settled con-
tractors look for busy season.
Several local contractors expressed
themselves this morning favorably
to a boom in building. and a better
class of buildings will likely go up
this summer
Brick buildings will predominant
and comparatively few small frames
will go up. The building improve
ments have been gradually bettering
in quality, as there is an abundance
of the smaller frame dwellings.
