the finish of the race two years ago,
the honors would have gone to that
city. This would have happened IN
spite Of the manipulators if the farm
ers of Shiawassee county had APP
preciated the value of a primary vote
But, that has nothing whatever to
do with the present case. Owosso
has again candidate for this i'm
portant Office before the people. More
than that, she has only one other
candidate before the people for con-
sideration in this years primary.
Certainly Mr.. Fitzpatrick is in the
race at a most opportune time, and
he should be assured of huge vote.
He is not only the logical candidate
but he is a man to fill the Office with
credit to himself and to his constit-
uents. His past life as citizen of
this county, and as a servant of the
people in various capacities, will car
ry out the weight Of argument in the
oregoing.-Durand Express.

Whelan demonstrated to each mem
Der his ability as a presiding officer
by his conservative, courteous and
fair treatment of all parties and
questions so that the following year
he was again made their chairman
by reclamation.
Mr.. Whelan is one of the success
full farmers in Shiawassee township,
and believes that the farmer of the
present time is as capable of being
a legislator as any other class or pro
fession.
Owing to the very close contest in
1902, Mr.. Whelan has entertained a
desire to again submit his candidacy
to the people, hoping that the time
may be favorable and the conditions
agreeable in which you will assist
him in realizing his ambition.

yesterday. Of course, Mr.. Spears ar
rival had nothing to do with the
clustering raw north wind.
Mr.. Spears sat in front Of the BAN

all was going to happen. In the first

over a 1000 majority in Tuscola
county and Mr.. Fitzgerald would

there, too) Mr.. Fitzgerald would win
out and the Clitnon man will be the
next congressman and BILL" that is
Mr.. Spears, will be able to sit in his
law Office at Vassar and tell just how
the district is going to be run.
Mr.. Spears RECALLED the crowd with
his day-dreams for quite while and
touched upon many subjects, say
ing that Mr. Fordney was a mighty
good man, and all that, but.

the support of the voters of Shiawas-

nomination for representative in the
state legislature.
In 1902 Mr.. Whelan lacked one
vote of securing the nomination
which he now seeks, and as a very
close second, he was entitled to a
deep sense Of gratitude and appre-
citation for the royal support given
him at that convention.

AS the eighth district congression-

to determine whether it is A. l..
Chandler, of Owosso, who is the can
didate against Mr.. Fordney or
whether it is Mr. Fitzgerald. The

The latest story the Fitzgerald
campaign managers have put out in
an attempt to explain Candidate Fitz-
gerald's connection with a Free Sill
yer Club i'm 1896, the year President
Mckinley was first elected on a
'sound money" platform is that I,
was Mr.. Fitzgerald's son who was
contaminated with the silver bug.
W.. Spears, a Fitzgerald manager,
gave voice to this while here yester-
day, although Mr.. Spears did not
hold his ground when the fact was
pointed out that it was "John w.
Fitzgerald's' signature and not that
of any other, which was signed to the
Free Silver club constitution. The
attempt to fool the voters in this
way is too thin and will never work.

present, one half being Democrats.

that vote of thanks be given. The

LITTLE BREECHES.

(By John Hay.)
| don't go much on religion,
never amt had no snow;
But I'VE got a middlin' tight grip, sir,
On the handful D things l know.
l don't pan out on the prophets,
And free-will, and that sort o thing,
But b'lieve in God and the angels
Ever since one night last Spring.
| come into town with some turnips,
And my little Gabe come along
No f~our-year-old in the country
Could beat him for pretty and strong,
Peart, and chippy, and sassy,
Always ready to swear and fight
And I'd learnt him to chaw terback ,r
Jest to keep his milk-teeth white.
The snow came down like a blanket
AS l passed by Taggart's store;
l went in for a jug of molasses
And l left the team at the door.
They scared at something and started,
l heard one little squall,
And hell-to-split over the prairie
Went team, Little Breaches, n all.
Hellto-split over the prairie!
l was almost froze with skeer;
But We rousted up some torches,
And searched for EN- far and near.
At last we struck horses and wagon,
showed under a soft, white mound,
Upset, dead beat-but Of little Gabe
No hide nor hair was found.
And here all hope soured on me.
OF my fellow-critter's aid
jest Topped down on my marrow
bones,
Crotch-deep in the snow and prayer
By this the torches was played out,
An me an Isrul Parr
Went off for some wood to a sheep
fold
That he said was somewhat thar.
We found it at last, and a little shed
Where they shut up the limbs al
night.
We loked in and seen them huddled
thar,
So warm, and sleepy. and white,
And thar sot Little Brooches and
chirped,
As pert as v you see,
Il want a chaw of terbacker,
And that's what the matter of me-
How did he git thar? Angels.
He could never have walked in that
storm,
They jest stopped down and toted him
To whar it was safe and warm.
And think that saving a little child,
And fotching him to his own,
Is a burned sight better business
Than loafing around the Throne.

SOME OLD FAVORITES.
WORTH WHILE.

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
1t is easy enough to be pleasant.
While life flows like a song,
But the man worth while is n who
will smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with years,
And the smile that is worth the
praises Of earth
Is the smile that shines through
tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent,
When nothing tempts you 10 stray,
When without or within no voice OF SIN
Is Turing your soul away.
But it's only a negative virtue,
Until it is tried by fire,
| And the life that is worth the honor
of earth
rs the one hat resists desire.
| BY the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered to
day,
They make up the item of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion
And the sorrows that hide in a smile
1t is these that are worth the homage
of earth,
For we find them but once in q
while.

E is NO EEATH.

(By j. l.. McCreery.)
There is no DEATH the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death! the forest leave
Convert to life the viewless air;
The rocks d~isorganize to leeu
The hungry moss they bear.
There is no death! the dust we tread
Shall change, beneath the summer
showers,
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
There is no death! the leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass
away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The warm, sweet breath OF May.
There is no death! the choicest gifts
That heaven hath kindly lent to
earth
Are ever first to seek again
The country of their birth.
And all things that for growth or joy
Are worthy of our love or care,
Whose loss has left US desolate,
Are safely garnered there.
Though life become a deary waste,
We know its f%airest, sweetest flowers
Transplanted into paradise,
Adorn immortal bowers.
The voice of bird-like melody
That we nave missed and mourned
so long
Now mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song.
There is no death!- although We grieve
When beautiful, familiar forms
That we have learned to love are torn
IA From our embracing arms.
Although with bowed and breaking
- heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseless dust to rest,
And say hat they are dead
They are not dead! they have but
passed
Beyond the mists that blind us here
Into the new and larger life
or that serener sphere.
They have but dropped their robe OF
clay
To put their shining raiment on;
They have not wandered far away
They are not lost or gone"
Though di%senthralled and glorifed,
They still are here and love us yet;
The lear ones they have left behind
They can forget.
And sometimes, when Jul hearts grow
faint
Amid temptations fierce and deep,
Or when the wildly raging waves
OF grief or passion sweep,
We feel upon our fevered brow
Their gentle touch, their breath OF
balm;
Their arms enfoid US, n our hearts
Grow comforted and calm.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal SPIRITS tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there are no dead.
