Automobile Campaigning,

The success Of the new method OF
campaigning by the use of automo-
biles was thoroughly demonstrated
on Saturday last in This county, de-
spite the fact that accident put one
of the machines out of use before the
fourth stopping point was reached.
Starting at Laingsburg at nine
o'clock Saturday morning, Gov
Warner, Lieut.-Gov. Kelley Con-
gresham Fordney, Senator Tuttle
and County Chairman Bigelow visit
ed Bath, Shaftsburg, Morrice, Ban
croft and Byron, speaking to good
crowds at each place. In the evening
Messrs. Warner and Kelly addressed
a large outdoor meeting at Du-
rand, Mr.. Fordney was at Burt, and
Mr.. Tuttle at Bennington. AT each
place all the speakers were given
the closest attention and made a de-
cidedly good impression. Gov. War
ner handled state matters in very
plain, matter of fact manner, paying
especial attention to the Glazier
trouble, explaining it in such way
as to convince his hearers that no
blame could be attached to him.
The governor invited those present
to ask questions and he would an
swer them fully. In this connection
we wish to call attention to a sum-
mary published in this issue of an
address recently gwen by the COVER
nor at Grand Ledge. 1t covers most
of the points made in his addresses
Saturday and is we'll worth reading.
Mr.. Kelley also devoted his time
entirely to state matters, with the
exception of pleasing references to
the congressional, legislative and
county nominees. He urged loyal
support for Gov. Warner at the polls
next month and predicted his cleo
ton by very satisfactory majority.
Congressman Fordney devoted his
time exclusively to national af-
fairs, although he had good word
for Gov. Warner at each meeting. He
referred in opening his talk at
Laingsburg to an item which appear
ed under a Saginaw date in the De-
troit Free Press the day before
charging him with defending the
Standard Oil Co., the steel, sugar and
other trusts in speech at Saginaw
on Wednesday evening. Mr.. Fordney
said there was not a scintilla of
truth in the article and paid his re-
spects to the correspondent and that
kind of dirty campaign work in no
uncerain words. His reference to
Judge Taft and prediction of his
triumph next month brought forth
round Of applause every time. Mr..
Fordney never appeared to better
advantage and made every moment
OF time count, hardly finding time to
work in story, although at Nor
rice he told one on Lieut.. Gov. Kel-
ley which left the crowd with q
broad smile as the party started for
Bancroft.
Senator futile spoke briefly maxi
ing special request that all Repub-
leans find time to go to the polls on
election day and that united support
be given Gov. Warner and the en-
tire state ticket.
