A Word to Subscribers to the
Democrat.

Last year we appealed to subscri-
bers, to the Democrat to pay up their
subscriptions so that our list would
conform to the ruling of the post
Office department, requiring that sub
scribers must be bona fide and ad-
vance paying to entitle the publisher
to second class rates of postage; and
nearly all of our subscribers respOn-
ded to the request. All those who
paid up at that time are requested to
renew for another year.
Those who are still owing for past
years are especially requested to pay
at this time, so that we can send the
paper without paying what is practi-
cally a prohibitive rate of postage.
Very truly yours,

Primary Enrolment.

Under the present primary law voters
will have the opportunity to enroll
under their party column on Saturday,
Aug. Goth. Many were enrolled at the
spring election two years ago and some
new names were added this spring,
still there are hundreds of voters in
the county who will not be able to
take part in the primary election on
Tuesday, Sept. 1st, unless they enroll
on the last Saturday of this month
The board Of registration in the several
wards and townships will be in session
at the usual places on August 20 to
complete the list 1t is to be hoped
that every voter not enrolled will at
tend to this
There are two ways in which proper
application for enrolment can be made
First-A written application can be
made and signed by the voter desiring
enrolment in his own handwriting and
presented IN PERSON to any member
of the Board Of Enrolment, composed
of the Supervisor, Township Clerk and
Township Treasurer, on any day before
the day of enrolment. Blanks for this
purpose can be had from any of the
officers above named. Second-On the
day Of enrolment application must be
in person.
1t is not necessary for electors who
were enrolled under Act No. 1Sl, Public
Acts of 1905, to again enroll under the
provisions of this act, if they reside in
the same voting precinct.
Any person duly enrolled who has
his residence to another voting
precinct may be enrolled in the new
precinct and vote therein, provided he
has resided in the new precinct twenty
days and obtain from a member of the
enrolment board where he formerly /
resided certificate stating that he was
July enrolled in such district and is
entitled to enrolment in the new
district.

latest Against Fordncy.

(From Saginaw Courier-Hcrald.)
In q partisan talk at North New
burg, Shiawassee county, last week,
A. L. Chandler, who wanted to go to
congress himself but was pulled OH
in favor of Mr.. Fitzgerald because
he has been q near-Republican only
four years. opposed the re-nomnia-
ton of Mr.. Fordney.
And what do you think was the
principal argument against Fordney
used by this fresh recruit from DEM
ocracy. who is the chief boomer of
the Fitzgerald boom? Why, that
Fordney favors dredging out the
So glnaw river, so that freight rates
may be made lower to the farmers,
business men and other shippers Of
the great Saginaw valley. He had,
of course, considerable difficulty in
twisting his arguments and so dis
torting the facts as to make some
semblance of a point for his conten-
ton, and all he could squeeze out Of
it was that Fordney is bribing the
voters by agreeing to favor the
dredging of the Saginaw river If
they will vote for his denomination!
We have seen good many punk
performances in politics in our
time, but we admit that this is the
limit. Asininity or plain damfoolish-
ness could hardly be pushed further.

The Strongest Man.

The Saginaw Courier-Herald says:
Those who oppose the re-nomina-
ton of Rep. Fordney in the eighth
district can base their opposition on
no other grounds, If they are honest
except that of desiring to secure his
place for another man. There may
be a few, of course, who are impell-
ed by better motive, mistaken
though they are, but in the main the
real force is that element which
would choose a new congressman
every two years if it could not con-
troll the old one and make him jump
like monkey on a string every time
they yanked the cord. The principal
weakness of Mr.. Fordney, in the
eyes of this element, is his strength
HE has been too strong in his in
dependence of them Therefore
they hope, by substituting another
man, to be able to control the polit-
ical and party affairs of the district
But do the circumstances promise
them success?
Now, despite all the assaults that
have been made upon the present
congressman by sheets that seem
to forget or do not care that an cleo
ton is coming-only two of which,
by the way, are really straight Re-
publican in their beliefs and princi-
ples-despite these extremely bitter
and sometimes vicious attacks, Mr..
Fordney is really as strong in the
district as ever, stronger, indeed, by
far, than any other man likely to be
nominated. In other words, at the
polls is the vital spot to test candi-
dates strength. To carry this dis
trict the Republicans need a heavy
vote in Saginaw county. Mr.. Ford
ney has always got this, as the re-
turns show. He always has large
Democratic vote in his favor, in the
other counties as we'll as in Saginaw,
although he has been uncompromis-
ing in his adherence to all his party's
platforms and principles. If he
should be defeated at the primaries
the Democrats will certainly put in
the field a strong candidate from
OdSllitiN, WIZ Nllte pun Ills pa ~
strength in the district, man who
will be selected with view also to
cutting into the Republican vote, if
possible Certainly the bitterness
that has characterized part of the
campaign against Mr.. Fordney is not
conducive to stirring up enthusiasm
and activity among Republicans wlH
want the district to continue to hord
the strength and influence itshas fin
ally attained in congress.
Therefore, aside from any other
features that mark the primary cam
paign the element of strength at the
polls is the one to be the most care
fully considered All the advan-
tage in this vital regard lies with
Fordney, and accordingly his re-
nomination would be best for the
party ticket. from the Taft presi-
Dental electors down.

Would You Change 2

Some people in the eight district are
advocating change of congressman.
Most everybody in the district admits
that the present representative is the
best man and has accomplished more
for us than any one we have eyer had
in Washington.
AS farmer if you had good man
on your place would you turn him off if
he was accomplishing more every year,
knew your farm better, watched out
for the best sale of your products, took
better care of your stock and you felt
more safe all the time in leaving things
to him? AS a business man would you
let an employee go who brought more
trade, whose acquaintance kept increas-
ing, who was able to hold and add to
your trade? AS a laboring man would
you send some one to represent you
who had little, if any, experience in
matters you wanted considered; would
you change to a man who had no idea
of general conditions or who had never
been laborer or employed labor?
And if you decided to change would
you pick out man many years older
than the man you had-a man who had
no prospect of becoming stronger,
physically or mentally?
Would you change to a man who
had been changeable in his occupations
with but scant real success in any?
Would you not prefer to hold to
man who had made your farm, shop or
business known and appreciated far
and wide and given you an influence
you never had before and with a pros
pect of making 1t greater every year?
If you had representative whom
everyone liked personally, whom every
person he came in contact with felt
that he was interested in their needs
and desires, would you let him go and
pick up man you never heard of and
who could not possibly make the friends
in years that the one you now employ
had?

in your employee or representative and
you knew that every other man in your
line would like to secure his services,
would you let him go and secure an
other man whom your competitors
would be more than glad to see you
take up with?
If you had proven an employee the
best you ever had would you quarrel |
with him because he had an opinion
different from yours on single matter?
Would you lose his services because
he wished to do what he thought was
for your interest and accomplished his
purpose in a little different way than
you might have taken, even though it
was just as near right as he saw it2
