WAS OFFERED So
FOR HIS VOTE

enrolment here as an indication of
triumph in Wayne county Lack OF
interest such as was shown two years
ago would mean great proportionate
power for the state organization con.
trolled by Gov. Warner.
Horatio s. Earle also takes hope
from the big enrolment, as he is the
Detroit candidate. The enrolment in
his own precinct was 1853 Saturday and
was correspondingly large In many
other precincts where he is strong.
Everybody is Confident.
Fifty per cent OF the Republican
vote is the claim made by the mar
ayers of both Fred NJ. Warner and
DR.. Jas. b. Bradley as the result Of
Tuesdays primary.
The Bradley men show the more
confidence. They have received in
formal canvasses OF the vote from
every county In the state and have
reason To- believe that Bradley Will get
the farmer vote generally. that ele-
ment having soured on the present
governor.
Warner men make strong claims
and concede Bradley but few coun-
ties. Their claim Is based III the
long and arduous campaign made by
Gov Warner. on the eloquence OF
Patrick Kelley, his lieutenant govern
or and possible successor. and the or
ganization OF state officials which has
been working for Warner.
Horatio S. Earle is not the least bit
worried although the other men 10 not
conceoe him a look,in. He sums up
the SITUATION III me fUtfUwfug statr--
ment:
Tomorrow the common people. who
now have the governor making in
strument in their hands, will nomin-
ate one of their own on the Republi
can ticket. They are in a like mood
az was Andrew Jackson when he said.
by the eternal, wei see whether this
country will be run by men or money
and Oft account OF treasury looting, re.
lief bin signing, unlimited land acts
and land-graft department existence
which neither of the other candidates
agree to purge their wroth knows no
bounds and they are saying, BY the
eternal, wen see whether this state
shall be run for political graft or for
the people SO one half OF the voters
north OF Bay City and Grand Rapids
and one-thiru OF them south OF there
will vote for Horatio s. Earle for gov
ernor. knowing that In him they will
have a servant with the same spirit
that made Jackson and Roosevelt
famous
Il have delivered three hundred ana
ninety speeches in % days. and in
that time have seen thousands OF the
other candidates buttons removed and
mine put on, and have every reason
20 believe that | shall be nominated.
My winning will be the greatest vic.
tory ever won In any state In the I'M.
ion. for | have received the most con
temptible treatment from the papers
of my own city with the one excep-
ton. the Detroit Times. ever given TO
a governor candidate, but they knew
with me for governor. that their graft
as well as all political graft would
end Earle for governor means no
boxer or anti-boxer cliques, means no
factions, no partisan spirit but one,
desire, a better and a buster Michi-
gan. which can only be brought about
by adopting my slogan@-less politics
and more business
Earle considers that his cause has
been strengthened by the action OF
Sybrandt j Wesselius ID espousihg
his cause This has brought him
many promises Of support from the
Hollanders or the western part OF The
state. Automolists In Grand Rapids
and other cities have volunteered to
attach Earle good roads banners to

Kent county will cast as many
votes as Wayne Tuesday" declares
Earle. and ] shall get more than hal.
