Denver, Colorado, proposes to make the Demo-
cratic National Convention welcome. The Colo
rado capital has fine reputation as a convention
city. Among the organizations that have met
there during the last few years are the Grand
Army the Christian Endeavor Society," the Elks
and the Eagles. In altitude Denver is one Of the
highest cities in the country, and as the Demo-
cratic convention may be "up in the air" Denver
is an appropriate place for the meeting.

The Committe Reports.

Every reader should read and stu dy
the report on Shiawassee countys in
debtedness, as rendered by a special
committee of the board of supervisors,
and which report appears in this weeks
Express. First it must be considered
that this report was compiled by five
men who had absolutely nothing to do
with the building of the court house,
men who are comparatively new
officials. Some of these same men, too,
were active in bringing about the ex-
animation into the county's condition
during the time of the grand jury.
They are men the people Can trust, and
in making this report they have placed
things in true light.
The debt is not as bad as has been
heretofore believed, and neither does
the cost of the court house reach the
high figure some people would try to
make believe. Then, too, Shaw assoc
county is not much more in debt today
than it was four years ago, and, as the
committee explains, the increase is
caused largely in the fact some debts
have been paid by money raised in the
regular tax levy for contingent expen.
ses
Surely it seems right and proper
that this report should be accepted and
the people unite in vote to clear the
county's indebtedness Everybody will
feel better for it in the long run, and
Shiawassee county will again stand on
firm, honest ground. d.-Durand Express.

/ have been. and am still, opposed to
the methods employed by the board of
supervisors in expending the appropri-
alton for the county building. but / am
also convinced that the county has had
the use of 1858, 500 belonging to citizens
of the county and that the same was
loaned in good faith on the credit of the
county and should be paid
1t appears that it has been the custom
of the board of supervisors for years to
borrow money from time to time to
meet the running expenses of the
county because of an inadequate appro-
priation. These loans have always been
paidwithout question and in nv judg-
ment we are morally bound to pay the
outstanding debts.
Once paid we will feel better and we
are reasonably sure of a more careful
administration of the county affairs in
years to come.

MESSAGE TO VOTERS.
WIN. fitzpatrick Addresses Them Re
Iating to The Constitutional
Cnpvanfiop

To. the electors of the 14th Senatorial
District of Michigan:
Section 2 of the act providing for the
Convention to revise the Constitution
of the state reads as follows: THE
number of delegates to such convention
shall be ninety-six, consisting of three
delegates from each senatorial district
in this state as now existing Each
person entitled by law to vote for mem
bers of the legislature shall be entitled
to vote at the election provided for in
section one of this act, for three dele
gates to the constitutional convention
hereinafter provided for. The three
persons receiving the highest number
OF votes for delegates to the constitution
al convention in each senatorial dis
trict shall be elected delegates.
From the above it will be seen that
the election of delegates is to be non.
partisan. That three delegates are to
be sent from each senatorial district.
- avn VIZ II OultCCAtu ulStIiCI COlupOSCu
of Ingham and Shiawassee counties
there will be elected three delegates
These delegates are to be elected at the
primaries on the 18th of August next.
Three petitions have been filed from
Ingham county, viz: Frank Elicit, Ed
ward Cahill and Charles W. Mich
OILS, and three from Shiawassee county,
viz: A. b. Cook, Odell Chapman and
w. M. Fitzpatrick, making six names
to appear on the primary ballot. Each
elector regardless of party affiliations
may vote for three of the six persons
named above.
Having no hobbies to exploit, nor
pledges to make, except to do my best
If elected in helping to frame consti-
tuition acceptable to the electors of the
state, and of which they are to be the
final judges, ] ask the support of the
electors of this district as one of the
three delegates to said convention.

And meet with US once more,

And clasp kind hands again.

carried out just as advertised. Begin

on Sunday morning and ending with
the concert and reception on Wednes-

and the church services and reception
were most fitting. The home coming
crowd commenced to arrive Saturday

grounds Monday afternoon, a large
crowd assembling to hear the address
of Gov. Warner and Congressman
Fordney. Rev. G. II. Hanks called the
assemblage to order and introduced
Mayor Lamb as the presiding officer.
The mayor welcomed the crowd to the
city and said he hoped Home Coming
could be made permanent feature in
the life of the city. Coy. Warner and
Congressman Fordney were both given
warm welcome and held the close at.

an hour. Jas. Osburn also spoke
briefly. An additional feature Of the
occasion was the presence of Chief
Shoppenegons, a Chippewa Indian now
in his S7th year, who lived in this vicin-
ity more than 20 years ago. He de-
lighted the crowd with talk, sang a
song and gave war dance.

ARE MORALLY BOUND.
To Pay Back Money Loaned County
For Erection of Court House.

The following letters from men who
have always been deeply interested,
and never afraid to speak their minds
in county affairs, would indicate that
the report of the special committee of
the board of supervisors had been ac-
cepted as the true state of, the county's
finances and that the proper thing to do
is to pay up.
The people may always be trusted to
do the right thing when they are con-
vinced that it is right.
They demanded statement of the
county's finances and until they re-
ceived it from reliable and disinter
ested source they were unwilling to
vote to pay.
Shiawassee county never has and
never will repudiate an honorable debt
and the sentiment expressed in these
letters is the sentiment of hundreds of
conservative farmers, business and pro-
fessional men throughout the county.
We have new court house. 1t
cost more than we expected more than
we intended it should. AS result we
are facing larger debt. What shall
we do about it? 1t seems to me the
only fair and honorable course is to pay
1t. The building belongs to the county
and we are using it. am not capable
of dealing with the legal aspects of the
case but there is always standard
higher than that which can possibly be
put into statutes. The moral standard
must always surpass the legal. The
moral standard is one of principles, the
legal is one of measures. l cannot help
but feel that we are morally bound to
pay back the money that was loaned in
good faith.
