CONGRESSMAN FoRDNEY
Abides BY His Own Record as a
Candidate For Renominatio

Congressman J. w. Fordney returned
on Thursday from business trip of a
month to the Pacific coast for short
stay, after which he will return to
complete the purchase of some prop
erty and then hurry home again to
take part in the campaign in this and
other states. Asked as to political
matters Mr.. Fordney said
AS regards my own campaign for
denomination to Congress, have little
or nothing to say, except that believe
that the people of the Eighth Con-
gressional District of Michigan know
me and my record in Congress for the
past twelve years, and if they wish me
to further represent them there. they
will say 80 at the primaries next Tues
day. I feel that have been greatly
honored by the people of this district
and much appreciate the honor.
Regarding the United States Senator.
ship, have to say that if the people Of
Michigan wish a leader in the Senate
of the United States, now is their op-
portunity. Senator Burrows, by his
long and efficient service, has become
the ranking member of the Committee
on Finance of the Senate and is en-.
titled to, and will get, the chairman
ship of that committee at the begin
ming of the next Congress. This is an
opportunity the people of this state
have never before had, and l believe
they should and will avail themselves
of that opportunity and return Mr..
Burrows to the United States Senate.
As regards the Governorship, Hon.
Chase s. Osborn has been, for many
years, my warm personal friend. While
l have nothing to say against the other
candidates, 1t seems to me, for the good
of the party and the state, Mr.. Osborn
should be nominated and elected.

Senator Burrows Always to be Relied
Upon-ShouId Remain IN Senate.
Editor G. C.Vaughn expresses himself
as follows on the senatorial situation
in the st. Johns Republican:
Senator J. G. Burrows rendered
splendid service to his state, country
and party as a member of the confer
ence committee on the new tariff law.
Every Michigan interest received his
constant attention. Senator Burrows
has had long and honorable career
and should be kept in his present po-
sition as long as he is willing to stay.
He has ever been consistent pro-
tectionist, upholding the policy that
has made this country a marvel of
prosperity. He has always defended
his party as he defended the flag in the
Civil war. Tit is wrong to defend the
protective principles which Mckinley
championed, which every great Re-
publican has championed, if it is wrong
to look out for the interests of Michi-
gan farmers, manufacturers and labor
ing men, all Of whom are directly
benefited by protection; if it was wrong
to defend the flag in time of war, then
Senator Burrows was wrong; other
wise he is right. 1t will be time
enough for aspiring senators when Mr..
Burrows gets through. The Republi-
can believes the people of Michigan
will return Mr.. Burrows"

OTTO L. sPRAGUE
For Representative In State Lesis-
lature-Thoroushiy Competent
Man of Excellent Judgment.

Man of Excellent Judgment.
In November, 1888, Oliver s. Smith of
Owosso, was elected representative to
the state legislature and from that
time to this Owosso city has not had a
member of the lower house at Lansing
1t would seem that period of twenty
two years ought to ensure the selection
of an Owosso candidate for this Office
by almost unanimous vote through
out the especially when so
able and popular a man as Otto L.
Sprague is willing to serve the people
in this capacity. Just moments re-.
Election will convince you that city Of
ten Thousand people-almost one third
OF the population of the county-ought
to be given the privilege of having the
representative once in fifth of CEN
fury. But it is not upon the question
OF locality or of population that the
friends of Otto l.. Sprague are pushing
his candidacy, these are but minor con-
siderations. The pre-eminent qualifica.
tions of Mr.. Sprague will be acknowl.
edged by all without question He has
time and again proven his worth and
capability to satisfactorily fill any posi-
ton of responsibility given him-this
is true in the city offices he has held, in
his work as member of the board of
education (re.elected this year without
vote cast against him) of which he
was president for two years and de-
clined to accept a re election this year,
in his work in the fraternal organiza.
tions with which he is affiliated and in
which he has filled the highest offices,
in his work as chairman of the Repub.
lican city committee and member of
the Republican county committee, in
short wherever he has served; Judged
by whatever test one may wish to ap-
ply Mr.. Sprague will not be found
wanting in the qualities desired in a
man who is to represent county like
Shiawassee in the state legislature. A
man of splendid judgment, good bust
ness ability, ready debater, a logical
thinker, we'll posted on parliamentary
law and withal man of downright
common sense he would bring honor to
his constituents if chosen to represent
the county.
Free from hobbies, free from obliga-
tions to any special interest or class,
free from promises to anyone of any
kind save the one to vote for the candi-
date for U. s. senator who receives the
majority vote at the primary, free to
use hisTbest judgment on all matters
which may come before the legislature,
Otto l.. Sprague is an ideal candidate
and would be a representative of whom
no one would ever be ashamed.
Send William A. Rosenkrans to the
senate and Otto l.. Sprague to the house
and no district or county in the state
will be better represented Do your
part by placing cross opposite both
names when you 90 to the polls on
Tuesday next.

II am one who thinks the best rule is
to believe that men are honest and
when they promise support take it for

and counting on the promises made me
during the past several months, I am

mary" That is the statement of Edwin
j. Herrick, who seeks to be nominated
for sheriff. That Mr.. Herrick has good
ground on which TO base his claim
seems to be confirmed by reports from
various sections of the county. He
surely has numerous and enthusiastic
friends pushing his campaign.

Judge Carpenter Urges the Re.EIec

81 feel very strongly that Senator
Burrows should be reelected" said
w. l.. Carpenter, former Justice of
the supreme court. His natural
qualifications have been broadened
and deepened by long and high ex
perience. 1t cannot be said too strong
ly that Michigan would suffer a great
loss in prestige and power by the sub
stitution of another man, whatever his
merits. We simply cannot afford to
make such sacrifice.
I'm congress it is the states which
elect and re-elect their senators for
long periods of years which gain
prestige in national affairs. The
senatorship is an Office of permanent,
not transient, service. The long service
of Senator Burrows gives him a fore
most place, which another man must
serve fully as long a time to attain.
If Michigan is to retain her power in
national affairs, she must not sacrifice
her leaders in those affairs"

ment of many Of the leading business

AT ttUpOt kouk Susy.
One of the most important duties the
Republican electors of the county will
have to perform next Tuesday is the
nomination of candidate for rep
resentative in the state legislature and
everyone who wishes to see the nominee
elected should cast his vote against ]. J..
Whelan. This Office is of no more i'm
portance than several others on the
county ticket but it should be matter
of county and party pride to place in
nomination candidate who can com.
mand the full party strength and who
has, the good judgment to'represent the
county with credit both to himself aud
his constituents -something which, in
our opinion, Mr.. Whelan utterly failed
to do. His plea for second term
should go unheeded as there is nothing
in his legislative career to warrant his
return. True, the two term rule has
generally prevailed in Shiawassee
county and we should stand for it in
this instance if Mr.. Whelan's record
was such that we could do 30. Un-
fortunately it is not, and as a party
paper which wishes to give hearty sup
port to the nominees on its ticket and
wishes to help in the selection Of we'll
qualified candidates for all the offices,
men who can be elected and VINO can
be depended upon to serve the interests
of the people faithfully and to do honor
to their party in return for favors ex-
tended them, we feel warranted in tax
ing this stand against the re-nomina-
ton of Mr.. Whelan. In 80 doing we
believe the large majority of the think.
ing men of the party are with us and
that the returns next Tuesday will
show that Mr.. Whelan is not the choice
of the party for the Office. Two years
ago he ran more than nine hundred
votes behind the Republican candidate
for secretary Of state and considerably
more behind his associates on the
county ticket. With an off.year
election and the feeling there is
about the county against him there APP
pears to be but little chance that he
could succeed in November when a
large vote will be polled even though he
mi ght win at the primary with light
vote. He cannot, however, succeed in
either case if the Republican electors
DO their duty as they usually do.
If Mr.. Whelan is not to be the candi-
date who then between the other two
is most likely to succeed and for whom
should my vote be cast is question
every Republican should be asking
himself. Both Messrs. o. L. Sprague
and j. N. Mcbride have friends who
would like to see them successful in
heir aspirations, many of whom are
willing to forego their own choice to
BRING about the nomination of the
,ther man in preference to Mr.. Whelan.
some of them have been making
luiet investigation within the past
week and find that our forecast of a
week ago that Mr.. Sprague had the
pest chance to win is correct. If you
ire in doubt as to this ask the men who
nave been all over the county in the in
;erest of their own or some one else's
Do this and you will vote

Register of Deeds Gilbert j. Cole has
no opponent on his own ticket for re-
nomination-and this is as it should be
in case Of so efficient an officer-but
that is not the reason why he has not
made an active canvass about the
county. The duties of his Office have
been very heavy in the past few months
and he has thought it but right to at.
tend to them first, doubtless believing
the voters would approve such a course
and take care of him at the primary.

past years been deputy state oil in

given him wide acquaintance through.

help him to qualify for the position he
aspires to.
Mr. Sprague has been in the drug
business in the city of Owosso for the
past 20 years and has always been
identified with the republican party
and always taken deep interest in all
county republican gatherings. He is
at present the president of the Republi-
can Club of Shiawassee county, in the
organization and strength of which he
has always been very prominent
factor.
Mr.. Sprague is worthy and we'll
qualified to represent the people of
Shiawassee county as state representa-

and elected we know the people would
make no mistake by their choice.
