Political Notes.

The editor of the ST. Johns News is
either woefully ignorantor else malic-
iously inclined il he is to be judged by
the following from his last issue:
Report from Saginaw of recent
Republican meeting at which Congress.
man Fordney delivered an address, SAYS
he came out fiat footed and defended
the Steel, Standard Oil and Sugar trusts.
Well, why shouldn't he? A person
usually defends the business in which
he himself is engaged, no matter how
reprehensible it may be J."
Congressman Fordney has not now
and never has had dollars interest in
the Steel Standard Oil or Sugar trust
or in any Independent sugar company.
Neither has he defended any of the
trusts mentioned in any manner what
ever. So far as the Sugar trust is con-
cerned, Congressman Fordney has been
its most implacable foe at all times
The News editor better post up.
Some day fellow Republican you may
be a candidate for some Office on the
county ticket and you will then appre-
ciate the support given you bV the Re.
publicans of the county. In view of
this can't you afford to cast bread on
the water in the shape of good day s
work on November Sd for the splendid
ticket which bears the names of Taft,
Warner. Fordney, Tuttle, Whelan,
Bush, Watson, Nichols, Shipman, Hicks,
Cole and the other excellent gentlemen
named by the votes of thirty.one hun
dred Republicans at the primary in Sep
tember? 1t is important that all should
be awake to the Importance of this
election. Arrange your business and
work in such a manner that you can
devote asgood share of the day for the
good of the G.. O. p. Let's make the
majority at least 1000 for the entire
tickafl

errors in changing officials. The vote
given Mr.. Cole next Tuesday we believe
will be this testimonial from the voters
that his friends gave when he first en-
tered for the nomination.
Mr.. Cole has made good as register
of deeds both in the matter Of his
records and in the conduct of his Office
and is now making a new set of books
that will be as fine as can be found in
the state. Little errors, seemingly, in
this Office would be the cause of endless
litigation and expense and it will be a
great source of satisfaction to all who
have any dealings in property to know
how careful all papers are compared by
Mr.. Cole and his assistants, making
errors almost impossible.
Like men of his disposition Mr.. Cole
is making new friends every day in a
business way, socially and politically
and none will have cause to regret be-
ing one of the voters to make his ma
jority the largest ever given man for
this office in Shiawassee county.

AN APPEAL TO VOTE THE DEM.
OcRATIC TICKET STRAIGHT.

The County Committee Sends Out a
Letter Which Must Make Even the
Democratic Donkey SmiIe.-"Oon'
Say Word to Any Republican
About Going to the Polls. There
Will be a Lot of Good Job to be
Handed Out, and We Might as We'll
Have Them"
Over the signature of the officers of
the Democratic County Committee a
circular has gone forth to the faithful
exhorting them to vote the Democratic
ticket straight on Tuesday next.
In view of the fact that there is a
Republican majority in Shiawassee
county of 1900 or more the appeal to
vote straight "to ensure the election
of our county ticket" must certainly
strike every man who receives a copy
of the letter as being decidedly funny.
But then, we give the letter in full
below and hope that every Republican
in the county will read and ponder well
the advice given by the Democra tic
committee. The letter is as follows:
AS you know next Tuesday, Nov. 3,
1908, is election day. If every Demo-
crat in Shiawassee county will go to
the polls and vote a straight Democrat
ticket, we will make a good showing
for the head of the ticket and carry
the county for Lawton T. Hemans for
governor our state senator, represent
ative and our county ticket.
Some time between now and cleo
ton morning see all your neighbors
who are Democrats and get them to
go and vote the ticket straight, from
top to bottom. Let us all get out
Nov. and for once, all vote and
vote together, for the straight Demo-
cratic ticket and if you will do your
part as far as your neighborhood is
concerned you will insure the elec-
tion of our county ticket.
This is the intention of all Demo
Gratis so please lend a hand and pusf
little and don't say word to any
Republican about going to the polle
unless you know he will vote oul
ticket. If you will do this we will
carry the county, and show the res
of the country that Shiawassee IL
alive.
The password is to take two votes
to the polls for Bryan and Kern ant
all the rest of the ticket-your own
and one more. Please make the
effort, straining every nerve and mus

A. L. Nichols as County Clerk.

Shiawassee county has been fortu.
nate in the county clerks furnished t.
it by the republican party and now, as
one of the best officials that ever served
in any Office is retiring after eight
years of satisfactory work, the repub.
lican party will again fill the place with
a young, active, capable, pleasant gen.
tleman, who by his close attention,
quick perception and willingness to
serve all the people well in any place
where he is wanted, will add another
to the republican partys Ions list OF
honest and faithful officials.
Albert L. Nichols has lived in this
county many years and has made a
wide acquaintance and his disposition
is such that it is an easy and natural
thing to call him Bert" He worked

Vote for Whelin-Do Not Throw
Away the County's Influence.

There's no use being part OF hopeless
minority, especially in legislative mat
ters, where the majority party has put
up for it's candidate one who is well
qualified, experienced, honest and has
always proved true to his constituents.
That's the condition in Shiawassee on
the question of representative in the
State legislature.
John j. Whelan is man of middle
age, a successful farmer. active in all
matters pertaining to the conduct of
township and county business, leader
in club and social life, close student
of all matters pertaining to the better
ment of conditions on the farm, in the
shop and in other departments of life.
He is a ready speaker, confining him
self to facts and interesting statistics,
never using low sarcasm or appealing to
prejudice. AS member Of the legis-
lature he would be on footing with its
best members. He has never been an
office seeker, although he made a
thorough and systematic canvass for
the nomination for representative.
He has made no promises that will
lessen his opportunity of doing good for
the people of his county and the state,
and states that he will be guided by the
wishes of the best element of the citi-
zens as he is able to Judge it.

as cashier for several years in the Gar
rison bank at Vernon, and became the
the trusted advisor of a large number
of the residents of that section, and all
were sorry to see him leave for Grand
Rapids although wishing him well.
Later he came to Owosso and here en-
gagged in the elevator business, making
another large list of friends and those
in the city urged him to accept public
office, and he became valued member
of the city council. Becoming Knight
of Pythias he was soon chosen to act for
them in various positions, always most
acceptably.
He has spent some time each year for
several years representing prominent
seed house and is highly regarded by
the dealers whom he sellssto.

two being: II shall vote for Mr.. Taft

Mr.. Hemans, the democratic candi-
date for governor, favored the licensing
and bonding of bucket shops in Mich
igan thereby making them permanent
institutions of the state. but as mem
ber of the constitutional convention he
opposed giving the legislature author
ity to provide for the protection of
women and children at workshops and
factories and stores. The suggestion
of such protection was simply putting
in little piece of sentiment" Mr..
Hemans declared. But the bucket
shops haye been driven out of the state
and protection for women and children
will be part of the new constitution.
It is already quite evident that Mr..
Hemans purposes in public affairs are
directly opposed to the views and wish

abandonment of the attempt to elect a
single member of congress in the state.
In the eighth district it was with the
utmost difficulty that any one could be
found who cared even for the honor of
the nomination and it was finally
forced upon fourth-rate attorney, a
clever enough gentleman but with not
enough force during his twenty odd
years residence in the district TO rise
to any prominence, whatever if his
profession. The only thing the party
could do was to get some one to go ON
the ticket. Not Democrat in the dis
trict entertains the remotest idea that
his candidate will get even in sight of
the distance stand Congressman Ford
ney, the sterling, honest, conscientious
and aggressive champion of the indus
trial interests of this district, of the
state and OF the country will roll up a
tremendous majority.
In the Tenth district similar condi.
tions exist. The district was scratched
with fine tooth comb before a can.
didate could be found willing to take
the risk. Mr.. Coumans is well known
local attorney but he has no party or
ganization back of him and is making
no canvass. 1t is only question as to
the size of Mr.. Loud's majority. The
people of the district know that he will
be right upon every question affecting
the interests of his constituents. that
he will stand by the beet sugar industry
with Mr.. Fordney and that with these
gentlemen in the house of representa-
tives the interests of this section Of the
state will be conserved
