Congressman Fordney Always Active
In Interest of Veterans.

The claim has been set up by the
opponents of Mr. Fordney that he is
no friend to the old soldier, that he is
not in sympathy with the admins
tration, and therefore not in position
to receive favors and as prompt action
from the department as some one else
would be- All Of which is pretty cheap
campaign fodder, intended to belittle
Mr. Fordney in the eyes of the old
soldiers, but it won't work. Many
times the editor of the Herald has
written to Mr.. Fordney requesting
action on pension matters and always
with prompt results. The latest instance
On July 14th we wrote to MIR. Fordney
requesting action on certain worthy
pension claim under the general law.
Mr.. Fordney's letter reached the de-
partment July 10th, and on Tuesday,
July 21st, the soldier received an order
from the department to appear before
the examining board at Owosso. Lost
his influence has he? Well, guess again.
Anyone interested can call at this office
aud read the departments letter.
Byron Herald.
We have a case of similar promptness
in attending to requests from old soldiers
by Mr.. Fordney right here at Bancroft.
Hearing of the false charges made
against Fordney in regard to pension
matters Edwin Hoard came to the Com
mercial office yesterday with the request
that we publish his experience along
this line. Said he, II wrote Mr.. Fordney
to look up and push my pension claim
about the 9th of May. He replied very
promptly, promising to give the matter
his attention. That he did so was quickly
and satisfactorily proven, as on July 13
l received notice of the allowance of my
claim. Old soldiers going back on
Fordney? Well, not while they have
spark of gratitude in their breast"
There are several other old soldiers
in this vicinity whose experience is
similar to that related by Mr.. Hoard,
and did the nomin alton of the candidate
for congress depend upon the vote of
the old soldiers of the district alone
Mr.. Fordney would have no cause to
worry-and we guess he hasn't much
anyhow. Bancroft Commercial.
