The matter of principal Importance
to Michigan republicans 30 far as the
present state campaign is concerned
should be as to ways and means of Sc
curing the largest possible vote on No
vember 8, the date of the coming state
election. The state campaign now in
progress is entirely devoid of the
strenuous features of some former con-
tests because the people of this state
are better pleased with the present
status of state affairs than they have
been for many years. But this lack of
excitement should not be permitted to
result in lack of interest in the vote to
be cast on election day. The fortunate
industrial conditions and the happy
status of state affairswhich the republi-
can party and its official representatives
have so earnestly labored to attain
should not be permitted to take from
the number of votes state and local re-
publican candidates will receive on
election day.

John Y. Martin, candidate for reelec
ton for county clerk, has been an. eff
cient officer He received an over
whelming vote two years ago and ii
looks as though that large majority
will be increased. 1t certainly will If he
gets his Just deserts. A faithful officer
who renders good service and is so well
qualified should receive large vote
from the people Independent of party
lines. He will get them to a certainty.

Residents of Shiawassee county are
pleased to learn that the Saginaw
county game warden has at last discov-
cred that illegal net fishing has been 60

the nets seized and destroyed. If this
and the further fact that set lines have
been used had been ascertained earlier
in the season fishermen hereabouts
might have enjoyed better sport. In
this connection, sportsmen hereabouts
complain because of the lack OF proper

1t is evident that the Democrats of
the eighth congressional district are too
hopeless to try to even give Congress-

known haven't issued call for con-
vention, and the time limit has passed
under the law for them to get in the
game. 1t requires FIVE days notice to
elect delegates and ten days for the
convention, and the ticket must be GER

candidate for county treasurer is max

to be one of the very best men in the

TILLMAN OBJECTS
TO INDIAN CLAIMS
CLAIMS THAT CERTAIN ITEMS IN
THE BILL HAVE EVERY APPEAR
ANcE OF WHAT HE CALLS A
"STEAL."

Washington, June Ex-senator Tillman
took exception to provision inserted
in the conference report on the Indian
appropriation authorizing the court Of
claims to pass on a claim of former
United States Senator Marion Butler and
Josiah M. Valeon & Co. for services rem
dered by them to the Indians the
Colvile Indian reservation in the state
of Washington. The services in ques-
tions were given in connection with the
opening Of the reservation and as the
bill was originally reported 1t carried an
appropriation of $4,000 for the Indians,
and the new provision was inserted by
the conferees as a substitute.
The claim was discussed at some length
and defended by Senator's Clapp, Muc-
Cumber and DuBose of the conferees. and
criticised by Senators Clay and Overman.
Mr.. Tillman contended that the claim
had all the appearances OF steal" al
though he said he did not want to char
acterize 1t as such
There was also considerable discussion
of the enrolment of the Ave civilized
tribes .and also of a provision for the
payment Of the claim of jennings and
Brown on account Of transactions of the
latter as administrator Of some Seminole
Indians which had been considered in
connection with the bill for the settle
ment of the affairs of the five civilized
tribes. Senator Tillman had originally
criticised this provision and finding it in
the conference report he remarked that
It had "sneaked back" For this Ian
guage Senator Clapp called him to order.
Mr.. Tillman withdrew the language but
continued his opposition, declaring that
the transaction was Infamous"

WarfIeId Plays Politics.

Senator Morgan of Alabama and three
years younger than Senator Pettus of
Alabama. II he displays the vigor of
either of them he will be of considerable
value to his state and the country.
Governor whyte is an old enemy of the
late Senator German and this fact was
probably in Governor Warfeld's mind
when he made the appointment. Cover
nor Warfield was given the nomination
for governor by the German faction and
he has never missed a chance to go
against them
Warfeld is a candidate for the senator
ship and of course appointed Whyte with
the understanding that he would not at
tempt to succeed himself. The appoint
ment, therefore, opens up free fight
among the outsiders for the senatorship.
and Warfeld will in all probability be de-
feated as he deserves to.
