In CHINA.

There are some awful press reporters
al Annoy, China. as shown by wild ru-
mors issued from that place in the past.
and 1t Is not Impossible that the dis
patches conveying the information that
revolutionists are threatening to muir
der Chinese officials and their guests
on the occasion of the visit of the
American fleet. are nothing more seri-
Gus than the products of a diseased im-
agination. Why should any Chinese
care TO plot the ASSASSINATION of Ame,i-
can sailors. or othcsrs2 America has
proved itself the true friend of China
This country returned the larger part
OF the indemnity agreed upon as a COM
pen&ation for the losses caused by the
Boxer troubles, This country insisted
on the recognition of the integrity OF
China and the open door policy; why
should the Chinese want 10 mar the
friendly visit OF s'ieads by any demon.

benefited; the American consumer
has gained no advantage. Mr..
Fordney is not an expert on the
sugar question alone, his habit of
acauainting himself with details
governs in every subject he consid-
ers. For example, the wood pulp
question is one that the average busy
congressman would scarcely take up,
but it doubtful If newspaper pub
Usher in the country has more facts
and figures at his fingers ends on
this question than Mr.. Fordney has.
During his term in Congress, Mr.
Fordney has proved himself a grow
ing man. He has not outlived his
usefulness. Add ten years to his
term of service and he will stand in
Congress where such leaders as
Payne, of New York, and Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, stand today. The rec
ognized leaders in the House are men
who grow to leadership through
years of experience. Their districts
and their states profit by their
lttiuEl olilps
Joseph w. Fordney is in a posi-
ton today to render a greater SER
vice than he has ever had an oppor-
tunity of rendering before. There
is a senseless clamor that Congress
man Fordney is out of sympathy
with the administration, that he
would not have any influence in a
Taft administration. 1t may seem a
bold statement, but there are facts
to warrant the conclusion that IL
President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft
could elect the next Congressman
from the eighth district Of Michigan
they would name Joseph w. Fordney
for both President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft are born fighters and
they admire these qualities in their
associates.

Everyone believes that Shawassee

Grand Trunk railway for three years
in clerical position and for the past
three years have been city clerk at
Durand and township clerk of the
township of Vernon and during this
latter period have handled an office
whose business is in many respects
very similar to the Office of county
clerk.
Should I be nominated and elect
ed my best efforts would be directed
towards giving a careful, businesslike
and economical administration of the
office.
l have been a lifelong Republican
and beg to ask the support of the Re-
publican voters at the primaries,

capable of the trust of this office.
Trusting that l may have the
pleasure of meeting most of you be-
fore the primaries on September LIST,
