The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1908-04-03

The Primary agitators would
have the Republicans of Van
Buren, county believe that the
system was entirely satisfac-
tory in every county, where the
same has been tried. But such
is not the case. Petitions were
circulated to go back to the
convention system in lngham
county. Farmers are dissatis-
fed, because it gives the cities
power to control and dictate
the entire ticket. The same is
true of Berrien, Muskegon and
other counties, although petit
tons were not circulated this
year. In a conversation with
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1908-04-03

Just a word in reply to our
friend +. A. Chase. We have
the greatest respect for his
ability and for him as a man.
We know that he is honest,
conscientious and an exemplary
citizen, honored and respected
by all who know him. The
trouble is, Mr.. Chase has lis
tened to some Republican who
has had some grievance, and
placed explicit confidence in
what was told him. This would
also apply to Geo. Rich and
others, who have charged the
machine with rottenness and
corruption, for the fact remains,
that Mr.. Rich has furnished no
proof of the allegations made
in a recent communication, al
though he promised to do so.
He was too eager and willing
to believe all the political COS
sip and rumor that came to his
ears. And, so with Mr.. Chase
Some Republican, who believed
the county officers were getting
rich out of their respective Of
fees, that their salary was too
high, aired his grievan ,es and
told about the Salary BIZ, being
fixed, etc, at a secret meet
ing. But Mr.. Chase, no such
meeting was ever held and so
far as we can learn was never
or talked of. Neither
have nominations or appoint
ments been dictated by the
machine as you charge. You
perhaps believe they have, but
your arguments and statements
cannot be substantiated by the
facts.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1908-04-03
A Difference OF Opinion.

Two weeks ago the Courier
published an article written by
EdWy c. Reid, of the Allegan
Gazette, in which he stated
what a glorious thing the Pri-
mary system of nominations
was, and that the plan was en-
tirely satisfactory to the Re
publicans of Allegan county.
Last week the Bangor Advance
published a lengthy article
along the same lines, by the
same author, as we'll as several
other letters from other coun-
ties. in which the writer's ex-
pressed thmselves in favor OF
the Primary.
The fact that men have been
found in Primary counties, who
are in favor Of the reform move
ment and declare it a "cureall"
for every political i'll, should not
induce the Republican voters to
believe that it is to their inter
est to adopt it in Van Buren,
county. No matter what might
be the question under consider
alton, whether it be the Liquor
question, the Primary question,
or any other proposition, there
can be found those, who will
advance arguments and opin-
ions in favor or against the
proposition, where they know
full well that they are not voic-
ing the sentiment of a majority
Of the people.
At the present time, the local
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1908-04-03

tions of crookedness in caucuses
and conventions; but that he could
do so. We don't consider that
statement worthy of comment.
Ii George could have furnished
the proof, we can rest assured
he ,oould have done so long ago.
He also declines to accept Mr..
Woodlands challenge for an IN
vestigation. In fact, he declines
to do anything except to rehash
the same unreasonable, absurd
statements.
His comments on the price Of
newspaper advertising is "a fair
sample OF Georges reasoning
ability. He concludes that, mas
much as the rates for display ad-
vertising in some papers is 81. 90
per column, the price for primary
announcements should be the
same. That is too absurd for
consideration, and George will
lind, to his sorrow, if the pri-
mary is adopted and he is can
didate for the legislature, that
~. 90 will not go very far towards
buying column of advertising
space.
Again, George states that
what the Courier has printed
relative to the primary has been
by the editors own free will and
accord, and not at the request of
the primary people, George
may believe this, but The True
Northerner is in position to
know that the statement is not
true. The foundation for the
Courier's comments on Repre-
sentative Simpsons interview,
as published in the Grand Rapids
Herald last summer, aOdS fur
nished the Courier by one of the pri-
marH dgitatorS, and many copies
of the democratic organ have
been scattered over Van Buren,
county, mailed by one of the pri-
mary agitdtOrs.
Perhaps, George, you don't in
tend to mislead the republican
voters, but you are certainly
sin hole, and your statements
will bear investigation.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1908-04-03

one of the leading Republicans
of Clinton county some time
ago, he stated, "that from
newspaper standpoint it was O.
X, but as far as the welfare of
the Republican party was con-
cerned, the system was farce"
The True Northerner again
asks the Republican voters of
Van Buren, county, to bear in
mind, that those who are ask
ing you to discard the conven-
ton system and adopt a new
plan for nominations, one that
has not yet been sufficiently
tested to prove its merit, are
either men who aspire to Of
fee, and seek to perpetuate
themselves in office, through
the Primary, or else are disap-
pointed office seekers.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1908-04-03

A heavy taxpayer Of Decatur,
and a life long Republican,
stated this week that he did not
think it would be right to force
the Primary system on the Re-
publican party at the expense
of the people. That if the
Primary should be adopted the
county committee and candi-
dates for the various offices
should bear the expense. Don't
lose sight of the fact, that the
taxpayers will have to foot the
bill, if the new system is adopt
ed. This thought is worthy of
consideration.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1908-04-03

SdSl sig iidtuiS' NoiiiiiulllSd-
tons galore from the pens OF
hose who desire the primary
system for personal reasons
only, have been published. Rot
tenness, chicanery and crooked
ness ir Van Buren, county con.
ventions have been Oh ,rged.
The writer who made ,uch allie
cations, stated that his charges
could and would be substan-
tiated by affioavit', il they wei {
wanted. The proof has been
demanded time and again,
through the columns or the
True Northerner, but not a
single allegation has been sub
Stimulated by affidavit or other
wise. The democratic Courier
has also enlisted its services in
the cause, and told its readers,
what a grand, good scheme the
Primary would be-for the Re-
publican party. The Bangor
Advance of last week published
an article from the pen of Edwy
c. Reid of the Allegan Ga
zette, who claims the system
is satisfactory to the Republi-
can party in Allegan county. A
letter from c. F. Dawson OF
the Allegan Press in another
column of this issue, would in
dictate, however, that there are
those who differ with Mr.. Reid
in regard to the merits OF the
new system.
The primary advocates at
this time, are those who seek
office, either first or third term,
and are fearful lest the cOnven-
ton will not serve their pur-
pose, those who have been dis
appointed in their aspirations
for office, and those who want
revenge for some fancied griev-
ance or wrong. They all have
a motive, and the proposition is
supported and endorsed by
Governor Warner, also a candi-
date for third term, and there.
fore opposed to the convention
system. In view of these facts,
the personal motives which
have actuated those who are
favoring the system, and the
circumstances which have sur
rounded the reform movement
from the start, the True North
erner does not believe that the
intelligent Republicans of Van
Buren, County will vote to dis
card the convention system,
which has made Van Buren,
county one of the banner Re-
publican counties of the state,
which has always given the
county capable and efficient of
ficers, and has satisfactorily
distributed the public patron
age. We trust they will con-
slider the welfare of the Repub-
llcan party, as a party in this
county, and not the personal
and aspirations of any
man or set of men and vote NO
on the Primary.

George Rich Gets Badly Mixed.

Geo. L. Rich has another COM
munication in this issue. There
is neither argument or logic in
the article, but we give it space,
inasmuch as George says it is in
answer to Mr.. Woodlands propo
sition published in our last issue.
He starts out with saying that
he never said he would furnish
the affidavits to prove his allega-

Has the record of the Re-
publican party in Van Buren,
county been clean or not? The

and the equal distribution of

cient answer.

In the opinion of the True

Primary Reform for the Re-

unanimous in favor of the con-

Primary Question VIII Soon BE Settled.

Primary Question VIII Soon BE Settled.
The Primary question, which
has been agitated for several
months in Van Buren, county is
soon to be settled. Next Mon
day the Republican voters will
decide by their ballots, whether
we shall continue to nominate
county and Legislative officers
by the convention system, or
by the primary plan. 1t is not
only a privilege but it is the
duty of every Republican voter
in the county, to see that he is
enrolled under the primary law,
and to cast his vote on this i'm
portant question. 1t is probable
that a large majority of the
Republicans of the county, have
given the subject some thought
and study, and are prepared, at
this time to say what system
of nominations, is best suited to
promote the welfare of the Re
publican party in Van Buren,
county. There may be some
however, who have given the
subject little thought, and do
not understand the workings Of
the primary law. 1t would be
wise for such voters to think
twice before they cast a ballot
to abolish the time tried and
honored convention system and
adopt a system which would in
crease the burden Of the tax
payer. Remember that it costs
money to run a primary, and
from the experience of counties
already using the primary sys-
tenn, as gathered from the opin-
ions of Republicans in those
counties, who are not aspirants
for office or disappointed office
seekers and who are at liberty
to speak candidly and fairly
relative to the merits of the
law, it would be a serious mis-
take, in the opinion of the True
Northerner to vote the addi-
tional taxes, for the personal
benefit of the few who are ask
ing for this change.
The primary question has
been agitated in this county be
fore. Van Buren, county Re-
publicans have, on at least three
different occasions in conven-
ton assembled, expressed most
emphatical.y their disapproval
OF the Primary system of nom
nations. There was PRACTICAL,
no sentiment for the primary in
those conventions. Again a Re
publican mass meeting was
called to meet at Hartford last
January to discuss the question.
1t was advertised extensively
throughout tn county and
practically every township in
the county was well represent
ed, and yet outside of those
who had personal motives,
there was no primary sent
ment. Out of the large crowd
present on that OCCASION, Just
eleven remained aftei tie meet
ing to organize for the cani-
paign. Another meeting YVES
called (this time for only those
who were in favor Of the pri-
to meet in Paw Paw
soon after. Remember that this |
was also a county affair. anl |
yet there were only IS people |
present, including reporters and |
several others who went out of |
curiosity. Still the agitation
went on; persons were employ
I'd to circulate petitions and
paid so mich per name for !

Mr.. Woodman Then-and Now.

week, which was scattered
broadcast throughout the coun-
ty, contained an editorial head
ed "Mr. Woodman-Then and
Now" in which the Advance
quotes certain extracts from
speech made by Hon. Jason
Woodman on the Primary
question, during the fall of
1903, and attempts to prove
that Mr.. Woodman's position
on the Primary question at the
present time is inconsistent.
The arguments of the Advance
are fair sample of the methods
used by the advocates of the
Primary system. 1t has selected
certain extracts from the
speech in question, and at
tempts to mislead the voters Of
Van Buren, county in regard to
the position of Mr.. Woodman
on the Primary question. But
then again comes the motive,
and those who are familiar with
the political situation of the
county for the past four years,
will understand the motive of
the Advance in taking its pres
ent position on the Primary
matter. To be fair, the Ad-
vance should have published
the entire speech of Mr.. Wood
man, but of course that would
not serve its purpose. How
ever, we publish herewith sew
eral extracts from the same
speech and leave the matter of
the consistency of Mr.. Wood
man, in taking a decided stand
agaisnt the Primary system for
our readers to decide.
Mr.. Woodman says, ANY
system of nominations devised,
should be one, that would give
the cities no more influence in
state politics than that to which
their population entities them.
| wrote to prominent officials
in the State Grange, and while
in Minnesota talked with bust
ness and professional men in
regard to the practical opera
ton of their law. The concen-
sus of opinion is, that the use
of money or Doodle if you
please, has not only increased.
but that its use is necessary to
success, where there is a CON
test for a nomination.
Again Mr.. Woodman said,
quoting from the same speech)
IF however, we find the use of
Doodle has increased instead
of diminished; and if we find
that the large towns absorb the
political power of the counties;
if the light OF experience re-
veals to us that this law can be
so manipulated as to rob the
rural counties OF their power
and bunch the nominations in
the great centers of population,
then we, the country people,
shall have found this out be
fore it is too late, and not after
wards"
And again he said Quoting
from the same speech): The
OF the state grange of
Minnesota wrote me, that much
money was used by candidates
for office, and in response to
my question, Do the country
people in counties containing
large towns and cities receive
their Just share of nomina-
tons ?, the answer was no.
We now submit to the read
ers of the True Northerner the
question as to whether or not
Jason Woodman has had a |
change of heart on the Primary |
question, and also if the motive
would justify the Bangor Adj
vance in its Inconsistency on
he question at issue.
