q Democratic national victory, but IL

slightly less than In 1900. There was
a falling off in four years of about 8
per cent in the Republican vote, while
The Democratic vote fell off about 2
per cent.

state during the past two weeks dis
cussing issues which will be heard In
other parts of the country this fall.

Plurality of Eaton Rapids Man Will
Be Between 1000 and 5000,
Detroit Vote Deciding
Contest.

Il estimate that the plurality OF DR..
j. b. Bradley over Fred NJ. Warner
for governor will run between two
and three thousand votes in the state"
With returns in from practically the
entire state, j. w. McCausey, ia
charge of the Bradley bureau, made
this statement Wednesday morning.
Warmers vote was largely Demo
cratic. In Wayne and many ether
counties the Democrats enrolled in
large number as Republicans and
voted to renominate the present gov
ernor.
The word had been passed down
the line generally that he would be
an easy man to beat. Their esu.t is a
splendid tribute 10 DR.. Bradley who
came into the race late and had to
contend with powerful state organ
iZation.
Bradley got almost 60 per cent of
the real Republican vote"
AS Detroit goes the state goes"
That may become a watchword in
Michigan politics hereafter. Certain
it is that the plurality by which DR..
Bradley carried Detroit is approximate
ly the margin by which he wins the
Republican nomination in the state.
All Of the gubernatorial candidates
had made up their minds that here
lay the key TO the situation and their
last fight was made In Detroit. Both
Warner and Bradley spoke at num-
Der OF meetings here and exerted
every effort TO win. That they fig
ured correctly is shown by the re-
suit
With the Detroit vote thrown our
OF consideration, the contest between
Warner and Bradley would be almost
a tie.
There was not as heavy vote cast
in the state primary as had been eS.
pected. The total Republican vote
will not run much over 10000. Wayne
county cast 22,912 Republican ballots,
of which 20,234 were voted in Detroit.
Bradley's plurality in the city was
S,063, in the county. 2.437.
The cities. as expected. contributed
the big vote for Bradley. Grand Rap
| ids, Lansing, Saginaw, Jackson, Kali
amaZoo, Saginaw, Muskegon and
Manistee were strong Bradley towns.
Warner ran best in the uppen PENN
sula and in the Thumb He also
carried his own county of Oakland in
spite OF the bitter feeling against him
among the dalrymen.
Earle ran third almost everywhere
lie appears to have carried Baraga,

Your Responsibility.

An armless man once walked
into a saloon and dropped a dime
from his teeth on the counter and
called for a drink. The bar keeper
placed a glass and some Igor be-
fore him. He was requested by the
armless customer to pour out the
grog, and when this was done he
asked him to place it to his mouth
and turn up the glass for him.
This request opened the saloon
keepers eyes. He went home and
told his wife about it. In his
dreams that night he saw the arm
less man and he was pouring the
liquor down his throat. The next
morning he closed his bar and
changed his business. When you
vote tie wet ticket you are to all
intents and purposes standing be-
hind the bar and pouring liquor
down helpless mems throats-men
who would not drink but for your
help.

THOMAsVILLE ITEMS.

Sunday night at 8 o'clock fire
was found to be in the roof of the
residence of Mrs. Lula Jordan on
Salem street. Faithful work was
done by both fremen and citizens,
but the fire had gained too much
Roadway and the building was
burned to the ground and almost
all the household furniture was
destroyed with it. The loss will
amount to about $4,000, with
about 1880 insurance. The fire
originated from a defective fue
between the dining room and
kitchen.
Early Sunday morning the news
came here that the home of Esq.
J. w. Bowers, with all it's contents
was totally destroyed by fire at
about one o'clock Sunday morn

A certain well-known minister

become a nuisance. He gets let
ters telling him that our fine old
private stock brand So and So, for
80 cents qt, is the stuff, and they
also tell him that if he will send
in so many names of drinking
people they will do thingsfo him.
He thinks somebody sent in his
in a list to get the bonus. And he
thought the limit had been reach,
ed, but Monday morning he pulled
out a letter from his box, opened
it, and found it a letter from
Keely, urging him to try the treat
ment, and telling him what it had
done for others. He knows this is
the limit.

state that the situation in Cotton

full increase in prohibition senti-

Is expected to give a good majority
for it. Agents of the liquor people
are actively canvassing, and the
prohibitionists are also bestirring
themselves. Good crowds attend
ed the meetings last week and on
Sunday. Anti-liquor people are
confident of carrying the county,
and believe that the sentiment is
rapidly growing against the liquor
traffic.

That is a letter that ought to
make every man in doubt resolve
to vote to close and keep closed
every saloon in the State. DR..
Whitaker is right in supposing
that this letter will make votes for
prohibition. He points out, too,
that this letter gives the ~everlast-
ing lie to those who say "if you
don't trouble whiskey whiskey will
not trouble you"
The pathos of the above simple
letter from a loving wife ought to
reach every voter in the State and
cause every one to help her and
others like her who are being
crushed because their husbands
are the victims of their appetite.

To the Editor: I am sending
you a letter received today from a
pure woman. Her husband
is a good man when sober. 1 know
personally the family, and have
done their practice for years. The
letter, I think, is a strong prohibit
ton letter, and ought to be read
by every voter in our dear old
North State. I don't see how any
man can read this letter and then
vote for whiskey. While some
argue that if you don't trouble
whiskey, whiskey will not trouble
you, this letter gives the lie to that
argument for this poor woman and
her eight or ten children haven't
troubled whiskey, and see how
much whiskey is troubling them.
Please do not publish the lady's
name. I am yours for prohibition.

In the recent meeting between King

SHERMAN coNvALEscENT.
Out of Danger Unless New compIica'
tions Set In.

Cleveland, Ohio-At 8 a. m. Thurs
day physicians attending Congress
man ]. s. Sherman reported he had
spent a comfortable night. He had
slept five hours continuously and was
much refreshed. His temperature
was 100, a decrease of Is; his pulse,
so, and respiration "a. He had suf-
fered comparatively little pain and
his condition generally showed
marked improvement.
1t was agreed that he would not be
able to leave Lakeside hospital for at
least a week. BY that time, it is
thought, he will have recovered suf-
ficiently to withstand the fatigue Of
a journey to his home at Utica. The
attending physicians are satisfied
that there is no present possibility
for an operation. DR.. w. T. Bull, New
York; DR.. William Mayo, Rochester,
Mimi, and other specialists who had
been notified to hold themselves in
readiness for a call to Cleveland, have
been notified they will probably not
be needed.
Unless there is an unexpected turn
for the worse, the patient is entirely
out of danger. Mrs. Sherman has re-
covered from the fatigue of the trip
from Utica and is much better.
