JAMES G. KRESS.

Alma's popular attorney, James G.
Kress, is a candidate for probate judge
of Gratiot County, subject to the
primaries to be held Tuesday, Sep
TENDER Ist. Mr. Kress has a wide
acquaintance throughout the entire
county. and with his unquestioned
ability to fill the position to which he
aspires will, without a doubt, pole a
large vote and one that will secure his
nomination as the Republican candi-
date for that position.
Mr. Kress has been a resident of
Gratiot County since the time of his
birth, in 1866, and his many friends
and acquaintance throughout the
county will make no mistake in plac-
ing an X in front of his name on the
primary ballot.

TWELVE DAYS MORE.

Only twelve DAYS remain until the
voters OF Michigan will be in the
midst OF the primary election of 1908,
at which time the voters of the entire
state, Republicans, Democrats, Prohi-
bitionsts. Socialist Labor and Social
lists alike, will select their candidates
for governor and lieutenant governor.
In Gratiot County the Republican vo-
tiers will at the same time select from
the various aspirants for county office
men to fill the various positions of
trust to be voted for at the election
in November, and in addition thereto
will select a candidate for state rep
resentative, and assist in the selection
of man 70 represent the eleventh
congressional district in the national
house of congress. For the latter po-
sition two names are presented for the
suffrage of the voters Of the district,
namely, Geo Covell, of Traverse City,
and Francis Dodds, of Mt. Pleasant.
Both are gentlemen we'll known
throughout the district, either of
whom if nominated would undoubted
ly reflect credit upon the district. But
of the two only one can be chosen,
and the duty of making the selection
falls upon the enrolled Republican vot-
ers of the twelve counties compris-
ing the district. This is one of the
important duties that the Republicans
Of the eleventh congressional district
have to perform. That it will be we'll
done cannot be gainsayed The writer
has carefully investigated the merits
of the two candidates and believes
that when the votes are counted on
the night of September Tst the result
will show that the enrolled Republ-
cans have selected as their congress
sional candidate Francis H. Dodds.
of our neighboring county, Isabella.
Mr. Dodds is a man thoroughly and
admirably equipped to assume the re-
sponsible duties which falls to the man
who represents the shoestring dis
trict of Michigan There are few
men, If any in Gratiot County, in
whose opinion the voters have great
er respect for and confidence in than
that of Hon. Kelley Searle, Judge Of
this judicial circuit Mr.. Searle has
known Mr.. Dodds intimately for a
score or more Of years and says:
"His purity of life, integrity of pur-
pose, mental training and diligence in
labor, makes him a peerless candidate
for congress"

Not Candidate For Governor at PrI-

Adrian, Mich, Aug. 1S.-Henry G.
Smith has announced that he is no
longer a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor at the pri-
maries, Sept. l. None of the petit
tons which have been circulating to
get his name on the official primary
ballot will be filed with the secretary
Of state. Mr.. Smith says:
Il have no show of getting the nee
sssary 40 per cent to nominate, in
view OF the work Warner and Earle
and Bradley have been doing, so l
do not want my friends to even think
Of me as a possible primary nominee.
However, IL there is no primary NOM
nation, will be a candidate before
the state convention for the nomina-
ton.
81 think, anyhow, the present pri-
mary law for nominating candidates
for governor and lieutenant governor
is a monstrosity. My idea is to have
state delegates elected at primaries,
and then have q state convention OF
such delegates nominate governor and
lieutenant governors candidates.
IL do not withdraw from the pri-
mary contest in favor OF any par
ticular candidate"

PERRY y. POWERS OPINION.

Hon. Perry F. Powers. of Cadillac,
ex-auditor general of the State OF
Michigan, and man who stands high
in the estimation OF the people of
Michigan, is at present editor of the
Cadillac News and Express, and in
last weeks issue OF that paper re-
viewed the record Of Geo. Covell, can
didate for congressional honors, who
was a. state senator at the time Mr..
Powers was a state officer. In the
course of the article referred to, Mr..
Powers goes over Mr.. Covell's sena-
torial record and says:
1--WE are confident that if the Re-
publicans of the district will look up
his record THEY will not vote for
him."
This is matter in which the peo-
pie of the whole state are just as
greatly interested as are the people Of
the eleventh district 1t is not alone
a district matter, this question of
Covell's record, but unfortunately only
the voters of the eleventh district can
at this time act upon it. But the
whole state is interested, and the in
terest OF the state can most decidedly
be provided for by preventing George
Covell from again possessing the
power to repeatedly vote against the
interests of his constituents and the
interest Of the state

The Tustin Times of last week, in
speaking of Francis II Dodds, said
Straightforward and squaredealing
in all that he does and says. That is
what is known to be true of Frank H..
Dodds, and it is because this is true
of him that those who know him
throughout the eleventh district are
most earnestly urging his nomination
as the Republican candidate for con-
gress. A vote for Frank H. Dodds
at the primary election on the first day
of September will be an action credit
able to yourself and helpful to the Re
publican party and to our district and
the state

If the press of the Eleventh Congress
sional District voices the sentiment OF
the voters of the district then Francis
II. Dodds of Mt. Pleasant will be nomi-
candidate TO succeed Hon. A. B. Oar
ragh as Congressman from this district.
Nearly two-thirds of the republican pres
are using their best efforts to secure tn e
nomination Of Mr.. Dodds The above
fact speaks volumes for the sterlin &
character, ability and honesty of the
Isabella candidate. Following is a list
of papers by counties that are urging
Mr.. Dodd's nomination.

ROCK LAKE PICNIC.


Special to the record.
Last week Thursday the Pioneer
and Old Soldiers Association of
Montcalm County held its annual pic
mic at Rock Lak,. The Hon. Geo. G.
Covell, OF Traverse City, was billed
for the big speech of the day. The
day was an ideal one for picnic and
over 600 turned out
1t was expected that Mr.. Covell
would have some references TO make
to politics. but what he did do was
both unexpected and disappointing. :
With hardly more than a mere re-
ference to the gathering, and what
associations and ideals it stood for, he
launched directly into a bitter TRADE
against those who are opposing his
candidacy By an adroitly worded
talk he denied being one of the I'm
mortal Nineteen" (Which, by the way
no one has accused him of being
since the Immortal Nineteen came in
to actual existence, after he ceased to
be a member of the legislature) But
he did not explain why he voted
against considering house bill No. AS
in 1907, while he was a member of
the state senate This bill provided
for annulling the special charter of
the Michigan Central, so that that
could be compelled to pay its
just share of taxes into the primary
school fund
And having advocated widely that
he would explain this particular vote
(see page 1903, Senate Journal, 1917
his failure to do so was a disappoint
ment to even his most ardent admir-
ers.
But, anyway, Mr.. Covel talked for
Mr.. Covell good and strong And he
extolled Mr.. Covell to the skies and
spouted hot air about his political OPP
ponents to his hearts content. And
all Of this was very complimentary of
Mr. Covell. Then he. sat down.
Other numbers on the afternoon
program came, Mr.. Covell sat wiping
his perspiring brow and watching the
crowd about the speakers stand,
which seemed to be breaking up. Sud
denly a hand touched him behind and
a hoarse voice whispered, Say, the
farmers are going home. They want
ed you to say something about them.
And you got so interested about your
self you forgot them entirely"
Mr.. Covell jumped quickly to his
feet. He colored up and hesitated
Then he advanced TO the front of the
platform, needless of the person then
speaking, and waving his hand to the
crowd began TO talk again. This time
he talked of the farmer and his sugar
beets. He talked eloquently. But
bis farmer friends had lost confidence
and they melted rapidly away. His
lame, belated recognition of them
only made matters worse. And so
Mr.. Covell overleaped his ambition
and failed And the result is simply
more Dodds votes in Montcalm Coun-
ty, and better knowledge of Mr..
Geo. G. Covell.
His closest friends admit he made
a mistake. Many came willing to be
convinced he was the man they want
ed for Congressman. All went away
fully satisefid they had made no mis-
take in hearing him and would make
no mistake in voting for Mr.. Frantis
II. Dodds, of Mt. Pleasant, instead
for their choice as congressman at
the primaries September I, 1908. Such
is the irony of fate
