sarily means to be the arch-enemy or
those who reside in rural commnnl-
ties.
There is just as great desirs or
the part of legislator who coMss
from the city to secure equity for the
farmers as there is on the part or
the man who comes from the couzi-
try. Vast sections of the pop4lace
of this state live in cities. Their fS-
terests are equally important with
the interests of those who live in tho
country districts.
1t is preposterous to assert EaaI
the farmer should be represented on
no partitioning of the county into
sections. There are many men -, In
Owosso who could just as efficiently
and honestly represent the farmers
as any man who belongs to that hon
ored class. And we have Sufficient
faith in the intelligence and charity
of the farmers of this county to be-
lieve that they are not going to os
gulled by the parrot cry. "a farmer
must represent the farmers"
The issue before the people Ia
very clear. Who should represent
them at Lansing? The Republicans
should nominate a man who rs i'm
telligent, clean-living, and patrioticS
man who has consistently worked
| for and voted his party ticket; a
man on whom they can depend IN
maintain Republican principles, and
such a man is Otto L. Sprague.

Rep. DENLY Gives Reasons For Mr.
Burrows Reelection.

Congressman Edwin Denby, whose
opportunities to observe both Senator
Burrows and his opponent in Washing
ton are of the best, said to The Journal
today, in reply to question as to why
he believed Senator Burrows should be
reelected:
THE principal reason that Senator
Burrows should be re. elected is that he
has long and ably represented the state
in both houses of congress. For more
than 80 years he has been one of Michi-
gan's honored citizens in the national
legislature. He has been great orator
and has rendered tremendous service
to his party and to his country. He has
been absolutely honest and is today,
after devoting lifetime to the public
service, a poor man. Then, too, he
was a soldier with an honored record in
the Civil war. Every consideration of
gratitude and of providing stimulus
to faithful public service as gratitude
makes for his continuance in the
senate.
Furthermore, and this is exceedingly
important, his position in the next con-
gress will be one of very great power
as the charm In of the committee on
finance and recognized leader in the
senate.
>"It is not possible that the people of
Michigan will fail to grasp the oppor-
tunity to continue, through their senior
senator, as well as their present very
able junior senator, great factor in
the shaping of legislation. Such op-
portunities can come but rarely in the
course of years, and state pride, as well
as more material considerations, should
moye to keep in Office the present sena-
tor.
Senator Burrows record stands
clearly before the people. There is NO
stain upon it. nor has an allegation Of
corruption or official improperly ever
been made against it"
With the exception of one congress
man beside Mr.. Townsend all the
Michigan congressman favor the re.
election of Senator Burrows.

REJECT WHElANS VERSE.
Protest Against Speaker Campbell
Too Undienified.

Under date of April 13, 1909, the De-
troit Journal published the item below
from its staff correspondent at Lansing,
the same being preserved by one of the
active Republicans of Caledonia town.
ship who happened to be in Lansing at
the time and says that after being in
the city several days and observing the
antics of Rep Whelan and the constant
rebuffs given him by the members of
the house he was ashamed to tell any
one he was from Shiawassee county.
The dispatch follows:
Rep. John Whelan burst into poetry
so called because it had the metrical
form, so that yardstick laid alongside
side would touch every other line on
the end-last night, in an effort to
chide Speaker Campbell, and had the
experience of seeing the house reject
the protest by vote of 80 to 0, later ex-
punging all reference to the matter
from the record.
Whelan's poetry (at least he said it
was poetry was wallop at Campbell
and the 50 he has hid with him, Whe-
Ian saying they had rings in their noses
and were led around by Gear" Camp
bell. SO obnoxious was the form of
protest that Campbell, in receiving it
and allowing it to be read, said he
would leave it to the house to accept or
reject it, whereat the house showed
that all good sense had not left the body
by rejecting the matter.
The incident was unique in that it
was the first time since 1893 that for
NAL protest of member had been re-
jected The right to protest is eonsti-
tional and is never ignored except in
most unusual cases."

Good Business Man.

The Fentonl Independent speaks as
follows of Fred Welch, who recently
purchased the G. Fl. Barrett Co. elevator
business in this city:
"DuringI the time Mr.. Welch was
numbered as business man in Fenton
he had successful career, and when
he retired it was with the thought that
he would forever stay away from the
hustle of the everyday work life, but
the desire to keep at something became
uppermost, with the result that he is
now in possession of one of the best
businesses in Shiawassee county.
His many friends in Fenton extend
to him their heartiest wishes for as
successful career in his new venture
as he enjoyed during his residence
here. He will not move his family to
Owosso for a time at least"

CLAYTON Cook.

CLAYTON Cook, candidate for the NOM
ination of sheriff, wishes to state to the
people of Shiawassee county that If he is
nominated and elected he will see that
the local option law is fully enforced
within the county and also that he will
maintain force of deputies that will
be strongly in sympathy with this move
ment. Mr.. Cook kindly asks the Re-
publican voters to remember him at the
primaries next Tuesday

FINE ENDORSEMENT.
For Otto l. Spraeue by the Durand
Express-Will Ably Represent
County-Has Ability and is
Live One

The Durand Express of this week en-
dorses Otto L. Sprague of this city, for
Representative in the legislature in
terms which cannot be mis-. understood.
1t says
lotto l.. Sprague was in the Hub
part of one day last week. Mr.. Sprague
is the Owosso business man who is
after the nomination to the Office of
representative, on the Republican ticket.
1t might be remarked that he has good
acquaintance here and these friends
are doing all they can to encourage
votes for Mr.. Sprague.
The facts of the matter are that Mr..
Sprague was sort of forced into this
campaign. He said at the start that he
could not take off his coat and
pound the sod day after day fol
votes and the reason was plain. The
salary of this Office is not a huge for
tune and If man spends weeks and
weeks in campaigning and then puts in
his time in the legislative sessions he IL
out-in pocketbook.
Mr.. Sprague has agreed to give the
duties of the Office his time and atten
tion If nominated and elected-and
that's enough. His friends ought to dc
the rest.
Knowing Mr.. Sprague politically and
in business way for number Of
years, it would seem nothing but right
to drop the remark that he is o. X. II
the people of Shiawassee county choose
him as their Representative they will
be ably represented. He has the ability
from q business standpoint, and Ahe is 9
live one."

Joe Collins for Prosecutor.

Joseph H. Collins, who is asking the
Republicans to nominate him for pros
ecuting attorney next Tuesday at the
primaries, should receive their support
for at least three good reasons.
He has been since his presidential
vote in 1896, consistent Republican,
active in securing his party's success.
He has had nearly four years experience
as assistant in the Office he is seeking
and his record has been good. His
ability as an attorney has been tested
by fifteen years of successful practice
in this county and its legal business
would be absolutely safe in his hands.
If there is credit and appreciation to
be given for party loyalty and service,
if ability is to be recognized and re-
warded, then Mr.. Collins should receive
the Republican nomination for prosecut.
ing attorney.
Nv Collins will give the Office his
personal attention and inten Is to con-
duct the same without any assistant il
elected.-Perry Journal.

FOR REPRESENTATIVE
"A CITIZEN" ENDORSES O. L.
SPRAGUE's CANDIDACY.
"Anti-Machine Republican Is
Answered. Organization Essential
for Effective Work. County Should
Not BE Divided Into Sections.

Editor Press-American:-
In a recent issue of the Argus
there appeared letter in which the
writer advocated the nomination at
the primaries of James Mcbride for
Republican state representative from
this county.
(Tne letter is reprinted in connec-
tion with this communication that
Press-American readers may have
the benefit of the same.-Ed.)
The desire on the part of the writ
er to have his protege secure the
nomination is perfectly legitimate
but the reasons he advances are the
most preposterous ever presented to
the intelligence of an intelligent
community.
In the first place he rails against
what he calls the Republican ma
chine. Now it is we'll understood that
any institution, existing for a def
mite purpose, with a definite task to
perform, must have an organization.
Without one it would beat the air.
The Republican party came into ex-
istence for q certain purpose, which
purpose it has consistently adhered
to. Like all other parties it has a
local, statewide, and national Or
ganization. Such an organization
may be arrogant at times, it may be
unsympathetic towards the wishes of
the people, it may become corrupt.
The electors know how to deal with
the machine under such Circumstance
es. But many times the men who
pose of securing votes, are the men
who have cast their votes for the
nominees of some other party than
the one they now seek Office from.
But the writer of the letter an
nounces that Mr.. Mcbride should Sc
chine desires Senator Burrows to be
again returned to Washington be-
cause he may die in two years, and
then another machine man will take
his place. What this absurd declar-
alton has to do with a local election

man the machine wants. 1t matters
not whether the candidates are for
Burrows or Townsend The man
who is sent to the legislature is NOR
| ally and politically bound to sup
port the peoples choice whether it
be Burrows or Townsend. The peo-
pie will not be fooled into believing
that vote cast for Mr.. Mcbride is
vote cast for Mr.. Townsend.
But, again-the writer states that
Mr.. Mcbride ought to receive the
nomination because the rural dis
tricts should be represented. This
plea proceeds on the glittering but
base assumption that a man cannot
efficiently represent the rural dis
tricts If he happens to live in city.
Indeed one would almost think that
to reside in an urban center neces-

stands Duties Of the Office He
Seeks-Comes From Family
of Republican StalWarts.

''The Herricks have been Republicans
and hard workers for the party from
its organization and have never been
office seekers or Office. holders and it
would seem that their work in the past
should be considered and rewarded now
that there is an opportunity" was the
declaration of Republican acquainted
with Republican politics in Shiawassee
township in speaking of the candidacy
of Edwin J. Herrick of that township
for the Office of sheriff Many a county
officer during the past forty years and
more could give testimony to the same
effect for 'the Herricks' have given
their time freely to help others. True,
E. J. Herrick served four years as
deputy sheriff under Monroe Scougale
and is nearing the close of four years
as under-sherif under John A. Watson.
This service has fitted him to a marked
degree for advancement to the Office of
sheriff which he is asking the Republi-
cans to give him at the primary, Sept.
9Th. 1t is more upon his record as an
officer than as member of the Herrick
family that he is appealing for support
though both are factors which any
man can be proud of. His duties as un-
dersheriff have been such during the past
few weeks that he has not had time to
make the personal canvass of the coun.
ty he hoped to but realizing that his
success was matter Of secondary con-
sideration he has done his work and
then taken time to meet as many voters
as time would permit. Mr.. Herrick
also served as trustee of Bancroft for
more than three years, resigning to ac-
cept the position rendered him by Sher-
iff Watson.
A resident of Shiawassee township
all his life his father being one of the
earliest settlers of the township, Mr..
Herrick's entire career Is an open book
to the people of the county and he
courts the fullest scrutiny thereof.
Early in his young manhood he became
a barber and followed his trade until
he accepted the position he now holds
and which he has certainly filled in a
very acceptable manner. He apparently
has natural bent for doing the work
which falls to the Office Of sheriff and
this has been quickened by the expert.
ence of seven and half years. This
experience he will gladly use for the
benefit of the county for the next two
or four years If the people wish 1t. In
addition he has given his promise to en-
| force all laws and to maintain order in
every community so far as it lies in the
hands of the sheriff 80 to do. Mr.. Her.
rick has the reputation of being man
of his word and is a good officer. Re-

ATTORNEY OF EXPERIENCE
In Office He Seeks-Georee E.Pardee
Has Served az Prosecutor
Ability Conceded

Although his competitor for the
nomination for prosecuting attorney
was in the race some time before
George E. Pardee made his announce
ment and had been given some promises
of support, still the contest is an open
one and both candidates are working
with determination to win. Mr..
Pardee has gone about his campaign in
a quiet, dignified way, has seen very
large number of the voters in the
county, is entirely satisfied with the
outlook and believes results will prove
to his satisfaction when the votes are
counted.
Mr.. Pardee was born on a farm in
Livingston county, had the experiences
which fall to farmers son; district
school education, supplemented with
high school work and later on course
in the law department of the University
of Michigan-his educational advant-
ages all being the result of his own
work. Soon after graduating at the
University Mr.. Pardee located in
Schoolcraft county where he was
associated for several years with N. R.
Walsh of this city in the practice of
law, serving four years as prosecuting
attorney of the county. Nearly twelve
years ago Messrs. Walsh & Pardee re-
moved to Owosso and continued their
law partnership until few months
ago, when Mr.. Pardee associated him
self with A. L. Chandler under the firm
name of Chandler & Pardee, the firm
enjoying very large practice since.
Mr.. Pardees ability as an attorney is
well known to the people of the county;
he always goes into court with his
cases well prepared, is quick to discern
the weak points in his opponents case,
is ready talker and ever watchful Of
his clients interests. If nominated
and elected, Mr.. Pardee promises to
conduct the duties of the Office person
ally, giving careful attention to the
people interests and to use the utmost
economy consistent with proper dis
charge of his duties. Eighteen years
of successful and honorable practice
should count in his favor.

Decrease in County Population.

The census returns for Shiawassee
county show population of 33,246
compared with 33,711 in 1904 and
33, s66 in 1900. This is somewhat sur
prising in view of the fact that the
population of Owosso will surely reach
just about 10, COO or an increase greater
than the decrease shown for the county.
Durand has doubtless also grown 80
that some of the townships must show
large decrease.
