Who gave you that name, with the ring

Who gave you the name Of Old Glory
The old banner lifted, and, faltering,
then
In vague lisps and whispers fell silent
again.
Old Glory, speak out! We are asking
about

AS we cheer it and shout in our wild

Our Republican Candidates.

The republican candidates for county
offices, selected by popular vote in
which more than twenty-three hundred
voters participated, represent not only
the unquestioned wish of the people so
far as nominations are concerned, but
they also represent experience, ability
and approved good work. Every tax
payer in Shiawassee county can support
the republican county candidates with
the satisfactory knowledge that he is
providing good service for important

t'rest at Stake for RepubI
can Voters of Shiawassee.
The fall election is now but little
more than two weeks away. SO quick
ly has the time passed that it seems
scarcely possible that the campaign is
so nearly over and the day which means
so much to Shiawassee republicans so
close at hand
It has been stated that this election is
of unusual interest to the republicans of
this county. 1t is so, For years. there
have been complaints that the nomi-
mating conventions for one reason or
another have Ia many cases failed to
express the wishes of the mass of the
republicans of the county in the nomi-
natious on the county tickets.
This year for the first time the repub-
lcan electors of the county for them
selves, and without any authority dele
gated to any county convention. have
placed an entire county ticket in the
field. The reform which public spirited
citizens members of farmers clubs,
and many others who were convinced
that the old methods were too anti
quated, too out,of. date, and too far re-
moved from the control of the rank and
file of the republican voters, have ad-
vocated for years, has become effective
and has received its first trial at the
bands of the republicans of this county.
The first trial has been a most I'M
aualifsG success. It consisted in the
nomination of the county, the legisla-
tive, and the congressional tickets.
Never before have there been better
nominations. In the case Of the county
ticket proper, where there were numer-
Gus contests, was this most apparent.
There were numerous candidates, as
already mentioned, for number of the
county offices. And they were good
ones too An entirely different ticket
could have been made up from the list of
republican candidates for the different
county Offices and still the republicans
would have had ticket which could
scarcely have been said to be one whit
inferior to the one nominated All of
which simply goes to show that the new
nominating methods do not prevent the
best Of candidates coming to the front
and Offering themselves and their SER
vices to the party.
But while it is true that better
ticket was never before placed in nomi-
nation by the republicans of this county,
there is still another test which is yet to
be applied to the workings of the new
system before it can be called an entire
success THE TIMES believes it is a
foregone conclusion that the republi-
cans Of the county will see that this
test is stood equally well with the other.
This test comes two weeks from next
Tuesday, and will be at the polls.
It has been claimed that without the
getting together at the nominating con-

One objection raised against Install
ing voting machines in the city is that
voting would be slower than under the
present system. Touching this the
Saginaw Courier Herald says: "Some
question has been raised as to whether
voting machines that will be used in
this city for the first time Nov. 6, would
facilitate voting; that is whether they
would be more expeditions than the old
style. After the council meeting Mon,
day night several aldermen, city off.

tion at the city hall and Is voted full

quicker than the same work could pos
sibly be done by the old method" AS
we are not prepared to state or believe
that the people of Saginaw are any
smarter than the average Owossoite, i
would seem as though the objection was
made on poor ground, especially so as

Consressmsn Fordney, a Candidate.

II
From the Saginaw Courier Herald.
If not great deal has been said in
the present campaign about Congress-
ran Fordney, it is because certain well
authenticated and established facts go
without saying. Mr.. Fordney is can
didate for reelection to congress from
the district in which Saginaw county Is
located. but the fact is less talked about
perhaps. than the situation in some OF
the local wards. This is, of course, q
compliment to Congressman Fordney,
If a negative one.
The source of his popularity is not far
to seek. In addition to an engaging
personality, he is possessed Of a record
of accomplishment at Washington that
permits of no cavilling. First and fore
most as claim upon this section of the
country is his history as champion of
the sugar beet industry. From the
start he has been aggressive and stead
fast in battling for the interest of this
big and important business which came
with the passing of the lumber to help
give the Saginaw valley new lease Of
! life.
| He has fought with others and he has
fought single handed No array of
forces against the sugar beet was suffi-
GENTLY imposing to cause him to lose
his ardor in defense. Alone, practical
ly, against a hysterical sympathy in
this country for the oppressed sugar
magnates of the Philippines and Cuba.
he stood undaunted. Great men in
congress, pandering to the popularity
to be won by espousal of the tariff re,
moval plan, opposed him, to be met
only with increased energy in argument
for the struggling industry at home
which it was proposed to slaughter.
The President himself did not overcome
the doughty Saginaw champion, who
eventually gained the point which
meant so much to this section.
If the sugar beet industry is now in a
furnishing condition, giving employ.
ment to thousands of men, turning
dollars into the pockets Of thousands of
industrious and deserving farmers and
returning fair interest upon the mil
lions of capital invested hereabouts, the
fact is due as much to Congressman
Fordney as to any one man, and the
people, who do not forget such services,
hail with delight the opportunity of
casting their votes again for him
whether the campaign orators, busy
with other interests on the Republican
ticket, find time to extoll his praises or
decide it is waste of energy to harp
upon trite subject.
