An Open Letter.


Bancroft, Mich, Aug, 10, 1906.
Mr.. Geo. T. Campbell,
Owosso, Mich.
Dear Sir:-Please do me the simple
justice to enter denial in your paper
of the article which appeared Aug. IA
under the heading: 1T is Not True. u
Your article was correctly labelled. but
the subject matter was misrepresenta-
ton, as your references to me usually
are.
In the first place. l was not the
author of the Cunning letter. That
leave to Mr.. Dunning; and his reputa-
ton for truth and veracity is as good,
probably, as either yours or mine. In
the second place, did not furnish Mr..
Dunning or anyone else with the article
entitled ''Hot Stuff" and furthermore,
knew nothing of it until saw it in
print.
Now, as to the matter of the articles
in the democratic papers and their cir
culation by you, I wish to say that an
employee on paper which printed one
of the articles told me it was paid mat
ter received from your Office. The
management of another paper told me
that he received from you directly a
copy of the Lansing Journal article and
he understood he was to receive regular
pay for its insertion. If you were
wronged by either report, am sorry
and would do what / could to correct
it,, | hope you will be as fair with me.
While you were telling about "un-
usual methods you might have done a
real service in explaining that fiction
about 'Old Time Democrat" and the
one about the candidate who heard so
much Campbell talk, and about the
special" from Corunna which was
anonymous for obvious reasons. My
friends. it seems, are not ashamed to be
known. Are yours? You remember
in our school days we used to choose
sides and SNOWFALL, and every good fell
low got out in the open. We had no
use for the fellow who got behind a
barn and threw rocks or mud balls
but that fellow grew up, and he still
sticks to that style of warfare.
In conclsion, let me suggest that you
attend to your own campaign and leave
mine alone. Kindly refrain from say.
ing or printing anything about me ex.
cept what you KNOW is true; and ]
assure you will be more than pleased
to accord you the same courtesy.
Sincerely yours,
CHAS. E. WARD.

Much favor is being shown the can

Sept 4th. There are several reasons
for this among them being the fine
showing MIR. Barnes made in the repub-

ney and thus compliment the dis
tinguished representative from this dis.
trict
Two years ago the Democratic con-
gressional committee had to scour the
four counties in this district before find
ing congressional candidate in the
person of II. J. Patterson, of st. Johns.
Mr.. Patterson has had enough of poll
tics of the kind he then met, and the
congressional committee is in a GUAM
dairy as to a candidate.
A considerable number of the mem
bers of this committee and of the
Democratic party in this district gen.
orally would prefer to have no con-
gressional candidate in the field, and
many of these men, being leaders in
party councils, are willing to do all in
their power to secure the Endorsement
Of the congressman by both of the great
parties.
Another point is assisting Saginaw
county Democrats to this conclusion
Fordney always has been a power on
the stump and it is admitted his work
has pulled out the Republican county
ticket many times. This year, owing
to general conditions the q. o. Z.
nominees are promised rough sledding
and with Fordney in retirement, such
as his nomination by both parties
would cause, Democratic chances
would be much better

Shiawassee county has ever had good

was never more true than under the ad-
ministration of Clerk John Y. Martin.
who is as courteous and obliging an Of
fetal as the most exacting could wish
No favor is ever refused to citizen of
the county if it can be granted without
conflicting with legal requirements.
Many times these favors call for con-
siderable work on the part of the clerk
and his deputy for which no extra COM
pensation is derived but the work is
done just as cheerfully. If, however,
work is done for which fee should be
paid into the county treasury the same
is always demanded and the money
goes into the proper fund. The recent
audit of the county books should be a
source of qualification to Clerk Martin
rs it shows q most excellent state of af-
fairs in the management of the Office
and the auditors more than once COM
mented favorably upon the accuracy
shown. To make long story short,
John Y. Martin can go before the
people asking for another term
and challenge any one to show that he
has not endeavored to honestly and
faithfully carry out the trust which has
repeatedly been imposed in him by the
good people of Shiawassee county. His
popularity was shown two years ago
when he received the largest majority
of any one on the ticket. His request
to the republican voters is to say by
their votes on September 4th that they
approve his conduct as county clerk.

credit to himself and the people. He is
a man who believes there should be
economy in the Office, that the sheriff
should heed the wants of the people.
He would see that the moral tone of
the county is taken care of, yet would
not try to stir up things for the gain of
the pockets of himself or his deputies.
There are lot of Barnes friends in
Vernon township who are not only
going to support him at the primary,

people to do the same thing. He is
