ments which study OF the habits
and characteristics of men who
provide, shall be permitted. The
right and privilege of an individ-
ual to drink Intoxicating liquor
in his home or under conditions
not forbidden by law is not an
issue in this campaign. The
issue is for or against the saloon.
Attempts are constantly in oper-
alton to have this issue changed
into something more or less than
that. Don't permit it. Don't
lose sight of the issue, whether
the county is better off, morally,
physically, financially and in
every other way. without saloons
or with them. That is the ques-
ton and that alone.

Township Politics.

The village election is out of
the way, and township politics
and the local option question are
once more the principal topics
of conversation. The republican
township caucus will be held at
the opera house on Saturday
March 20 at 2:3O p. m. There
will probably be no contest for
any of the various offices with
the exception of that of treas
urer. For supervisor there will
be no opposition to the present
incumbent in the caucus, and
should be none in the election.
Merl II Young has held the Of
fee one year, and has made good
IN every spot and place. He has
proven TO be the right man in
the right place, and has made
one of the best supervisors Paw
Paw township ever had. He has
made an enviable record during
his first year in office, and will
be returned this year without
opposition.
The same can be said Of Bert
Bennett township clerk. He has
served the first year with credit
to himself and the party, and
will be renominated.
A merry scrap however is
promised for the Office of treas
urer. T. B. Woodman has served
two terms, and is prohibited by
statute from holding the Office
another term at this time. The
candidates for the place are A.
B. Slovenian, Roy futile and
Ella Bathrick. Chas. l.. Young
has been mentioned as a pros
pective candidate, but stated to

TRUSTEES Edgar Adriance
and DR.. Johnson who retire from
the village council this year,
have been faithful members for
the past four years. 1t is with
regret on the part OF the citizens
of Paw Paw that they will retire
from the active administration
of village affairs. Both declined
renomipation at the republican
caucus, feeling that they had
served the village long enough.
l. A. Whitman, who has served
the village for the past six years
was elected to succeed himself
and Fred Bassett and VIM. G..
Flock take the places of trustees
Adriance and Johnson. The
council as now made up is a
splendid one, everyone is a bust
ness man who has the best inter.
ests of the village at heart. The
citizens of Paw Paw can rest as
-sured that there will be q cOntin-
uation of the same business like
administration of the past. and
that the welfare Of the village
will be well taken care of.

that Osborn is to withdraw from

sounds good. but probably is too
good to be true.

The True Northerner has bee n
criticized to some extent for it's
report of the citizens caucus in

stated that the caucus appointed
a democratic village committee.
The True Northerner accepts
the criticism, and takes this OPP
portunity to correct the error.
While it so happened that the
gentleman named on the commit

IT was something Of surprise
to the male electors of the village
that so small q number OF the
qualified women voters availed
themselves of the opportunity to
vote last Monday. There are at
least fifty women in the village
who would have been qualified to
vote on the granting of the cleo
trio franchise. Twenty-one reg
istered last Saturday, and only
eight voted on Monday The
leaders of the "Wo3en's Rights
movement" who are looking
ahead to the time when women
are accorded the same rights as
men at the polls, should start a
campaign of education, and in!
Still into the minds of the women
who are qualified to vote, the idea
that this voting business is not
only a privilege, but duty, and
if they would have the assistance
of the men in obtaining equal
suffrage, they must display a
little more enthusiasm in the
when the opportunity
presents itself.

VOTERS of the county should
not lose sight of the fact that
there is one important question
to be voted upon at the coming
election, about which little has
been said. The question is
whether the nomination of cir
cult judges in this district shall
in the future be under the new
primary system, or remain un-
der the old convention system.
The question has not been agita-
ted to any great extent, but The
True Northerner believes that
the voters of the county will vote
to bring it under the primary
system of nominations. If that
manner of nominating the bal
ance of the ticket is good, at
least it has been approved by
the voters of the county, why not
include that of circuit Judge.
Think it over.
