The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1906-07-27

A NUMBER of candidates for
speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives are already beginning
to be in evidence. Among those
most prominently mentioned are
Charles E. Ward of Shiawassee.
Nick" Whelan of Ottawa and
w. j. Galbraith of Houghton.
Mr.. Ward was chairman of the
ways and means committee dur
ing the last session, Mr. Whelan
was speaker pro tenn, and Mr..
Galbraith was the leader Of the
upper peninsula delegation in
the lower body. These men are
all good members and the speak
er's mantle could not fall on bet
ter shoulders should any one of
these aspirants be successful IN
his ambition. When, however,
we cast our eye over the hundred
members of the honse of repre-
sentatives, Van Buren, county,
without hesitation, can claim one
of its strongest and most untir-
ing workers. His efforts were
always on the side of right and
not without effect. Had it not
been for the natural modesty on
the part Of Mr.. Simpson, his
many friends would long since
have pressed his claims for this
high honor on no less grounds
than his unquestioned capability
of filing the chair with credit to
himself and TO the members of
the house. The Northerner is
proud of the record Mr.. Simpson
made during the last session,
and hopes some day to see him
honored in a way which will
bring him into prominence in the
politics of the state.

Glidden-P ugsley.

The home of George Pugsley in Ant
werp was the scene of very pleasant
wedding Wednesday evening, July 20,
at which time Earl ID. Glidden and G.
Faye Pugsley we're made man and wife.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. H.
w. Harvey, assisted by Rev. A. f. Sci
bert, the ring service being used. At s
o'clock the strain of Mendelssohn' s
march, executed by Mrs. X. +. Glidden.
announced the approach of the wedding
party. The ribbon bearers were Mar
gerry Hall and Donald Pugsley, the lat
ter also acting in the capacity OF ring
bearer. Following came the maids of
honor, the bride and groom and the pa
rents of both parties. Under a dainty
and artistic canopy the contracting par
ties stood, accompanied by Leo V. Pugs-
ley and Rella Phillips, and then the SOL
emn and impressive words that united
two lives in one sacred bond were spoken
by Rev. Harvey.
After the ceremony a delicate four
course luncheon was spread, which was
participated in by about $50. The we'd
ding gifts were numerous and beautiful,
expressing in degree the high esteem
in which Earl and Faye are held by
their many friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Glidden left on the night
train for jackson. After Saturday they
will be at home in Three Rivers, where
Earl has a fine position. The best wish
es of host of friends go with them.

our opinion Mr. Myers has made

our opinion Mr. Myers has made
a serious mistake, and one which
he will regret. John Mutchler,
republican nominee for register
of deeds, is a clean, upright,
conscientious gentleman. who has
ever been ready and willing to do
his duty as a republican and a
citizen. He aspired, as he had a
right to do, to the Office Of regis
ter of deeds of Van Buren, county.
He entered the field with other
candidates and was nominated at
regularly called convention of
delegates chosen by the people
for that purpose. Nominated be-
cause he was the choice of the
majority Of that convention.
The defeated candidates were
disappointed as would be expect
ed; surely the others had as much
cause to be as did Mr.. Myers.
But they bore the disappoint-
ment as have other defeated as
pirants, and they will be found
as they ever have been in the
past, sin the harness, working
for the success of the party and
the ticket as nominated.

Congressman +. L. Hamilton,
who was renominated by accla-
nation at the congressional con-
vention last week, is one of the
brightest, brainy men in con-
gress. He has made a brilliant
record, and his denomination for
the sixth consecutive time was a
well earned and merited tribute
to him. In his speech Of accept
ance he said in part:
IF any man was right in vot-
ing for Theodore Roosevelt two
years ago, he will be right in
voting for republican house Of
representatives this year TO sus-
tain him.
SAT the outset of any political
discussion we are met by the for
tunate fact that the senate of the
United States is republican and
will continue TO be republican for
the next two years, and probably
indefinitely thereafter, and the
president of the United States is
republican and will continue to
be republican for the next two
years, and probably indefinitely
thereafter.
Therefore, every man, repub-
lican or democrat, who goes TO
the polls to vote this year, will
be confronted by the question
which he must settle for himself,
not whether any democratic pol
icy can be put in operation, be-
Cause obviously no democratic
policy can be put in operation,
but neither we shall continue to
go forward on the up grade un-
der epuolican policies, or wheth-
er we shall stagnate, when every
faculty of constructive states
manship ought to be exerted,
with an Intellectual democratic
house of representatives and an
Intellectual republican senate
mutually blocking the way to the
accomplishment of any policy by
either party.
"The sun in its daily journey
never shone upon a more gener.
Gus and philanthropic people
than our own. Sensitive scien-
tific instruments seven thousand
miles away are said to have re-
corded recent earthquake shocks
in California, but human sym
pathy was still more sensitive.

THE Courier and Hartford Day
Spring, in a clipping from Do
waglac paper, criticise the home
coming Indian in the Norther-
ner by saying that when they
knew Pe-pe-ya he was a squaw.
The facts are that there are sew
eral old timers here who knew
Chief Pe-pe-ya well, and also
Mrs. Pe-pe-ya, who outlived the
chief many years. Now, the fact
that the Dowagiac man knew the
squaw and did not know the buck,
who probably died before he was
born, does not alter the fact that
he did live. If we make local
about John Smith, we shall not feel
it necessary to consult our con-
temporaries as TO whether they
knew Mrs. j. Smith. Don't get
gay; don't split hairs; don't be
technical.

est of the politicians of both parties
In the probable result is intense. In

organizations the question of faction

cry in the presidential campaign of

Among Republicans the result in
Cook county will be awaited with deep
interest by the leaders out in the
state. The vote On the candidates of
the United States senate in Cook
county will be large factor in de-
termining the result.
AS to the senatorial contest in
Cook county opinions differ. By some
of the close friends of Gov. Dineen it
is declared that Yates will receive
vote that will surprise by its magni-
tude. On the other hand, the support
ers of Cullom assert that the senior
senator will have large majority of
the popular vote and will carry all but
two of the nineteen senatorial districts
