Protest In Senate Against State Pay
ing Strike Bill

Lansing. Mich, February go
Senator Rosenkrans's bill which re.
quires the state to pay the expenses OF
the national guard when it is called out
to quell riots was passed for the day,
after Senator Lee had protested agains {
it. Lee contended that the bill was
introduced as preliminary to enable
Shiawassee county to be reimbursed for
the amount it paid for.the maintenance
of the troops at Durand during the
Grand Trunk strike.
THE citizens of Durand refused to
aid the sheriff in preserving the peace
when he called upon them" said Lee.
Their sympathies were with the
strikers and inasmuch as they were
recreant in the performance of their
duty, I maintain they pay the expenses
of the troops who were called when the
citizens refused to serve"
Several patrioticalIy inclined SEN
ators contended that it was the duty of
the state to protect its property. The
question Of sending troops to place
when the citizens did not call for them
entered into the discussion, and several
amendments were suggested, with the
result that more time was given to
out matters.

PRIMARY ELECTION
March Shiswassee
Republicans Should Turn Out in
Large Numbers and Re Nom
mate Juese Miner.

Although there is no known opposi.
tion to the re nomination of Hon. Sci.
den S. Miner of this CITY, as the Repub
lican candidate for circuit judge in the
Shiawassee Livingston circuit it is i'm.
portant that large vote be polled in
this county for Judge Miner. A good
strong endorsement at the primary will
be great help when the election comes
a month later. This is the first time
candidate for circuit judge has been
nominated by popular vote and this
fact alone should ensure big vote and
it doubtless will if the voters wake up
to the fact that the election comes on
Wednesday next, March 1st.
Owosso citizens have the opportunity
to give Judge Miner practically his full
party vote as the polls will be open from
z a. m. to 8 p. m, thus affording all an
opportunity to vote without the loss of
any time. Speak to your neighbor of
the Importance of voting.
In the township precincts the polls
are open from a. IN to 8 p. m.
Remember the date-next Wednes.
day-and do not fail to vote.

The Republicans of the county are
holding their convention in Corunna
this afternoon to select delegates to the
Republican state convention to be held
in Saginaw an Thursday next, and to
nominate candidate for county school
commissioner. The candidates for COM
missioner are Thos. A Mears, principal
of the Byron schools, and Howard Slo.
cum of Corunna, the present occupant

seems to be that Slocum will be the
winner, although Mears' friends are
working hard for him. Very little in.
terest has been manifested in this city,

has to do with the country schools the
nomination should be largely dictated
by the delegates from the township.
