1t is not at all likely that Cong. Ford.
new has or will giveany encouragement
to any movement looking to his nomi'
nation for governor as without ques.
tion he would prefer to represent the
people of the eighth congressional dis
trict in congress and the Republicans
of the district are practically unit in
wishing him to act in that capacity.
The suggestion is, however, compli-
ment to Mr.. Fordney, who would honor
Michigan as its chief executive.

Joe" FORDNEY
FOR GOVERNOR
LATEST GOSSIP IN WASHINGTON
FARMERS ARE HIS FRIENDS.
Believed They Would Support HIM
He Prefers to Remain In Congress
to Fight the Tariff


Washington, May 22.-"For cover.
nor of Michigan, Joseph Fordney, rep
resentative in congress from Saginaw.
This is the latest Wolverine political
gossip heard around the capitol. The
talk goes thus:
Joe was much abused man for his
stand in defense of Uncle Joe Cannon.
But he survived the last primary and
the election. too, and now there isn't
much bitter animosity shown Uncle
Joe Cannon as when he was up in the
czar's chair Hence less animosity to-
ward Fordney for supporting Cannon.
Whats more, Uncle Joe Fordney
of Saginaw has stood for the farmers
and it's sure that the farmers are going
to take more active part in politics in
Michigan from now on than ever be-
fore. The way they got together on
reciprocity showed them what they can
do if they keep on sticking together"
But it is added by the Washington
gossips that "Joe" Fordney may refuse
to be tempted into the governorship
owing to his ranking position near the
top Of the Republican membership on
the ways and means committee. He
would much rather stay in Washington
r fight the tariff than go back to Mich
isan to be governor.

Masonic Home to 70 to Alma.

The feature of the annual session of
the grand lodge F. & A. M. of Michi-
gan held in Port Huron this week was
the contest over the question of accept
ing the gift of A. w. Wright of Alma,
of the sanitarium located in that city
for Masonic home. After a spirited
discussion of several hours the gift was
accepted by vote of 172 to 157. Grand
Rapids Masons made determined
effort to defeat the project, wishing to
to have the home rebuilt in that city

While Owosso citizens have not had
the least doubt that the line from this
city to Saginaw would be built as AN.
nounced some months ago by Hon. T..
w. Atwood, there has been question
as to whether work would begin this
year. 1t is hoped the announcement
is authoritative:and that construction
work will soon commence.

PUSH LINE THROUGH OWOSSO
TO SAGINAW.
NJ. U. r Will Begin Construction of
Branch This Year.

Lansing, May "a. - The Michigan
United Railway has practically decided
to go ahead with the extension of it's
Jackson, Lansing and Owosso branch
to Saginaw and work will begin on
construction this year. The surveyors
have now located the line and secured
right of way from Owosso as far as
Swan Creek. Nothing will be done
for a month or two about locating the
route into Saginaw, as the engineering
corps has been sent to another field
temporarily. Crossing the Tittabaw
assoc is the most serious problem re-
naming and the place of crossing and
route into the city will be considered in
the meantime. There is now no ques.
ton of the desire of the M. u. r. to
build line into Saginaw.

OUR FIRE FIGHTERS.

The value OF an efficient fire de-
partment and adequate water pres
sure was never more forcibly demon
strated than in Tuesdays fire here.
With the wind blowing gale, It
IS no exaggeration to say that With
out such facilities large part Of the
town would have been at the mercy Of
the flames and the loss Of property
must have been appalling. It Is scarce
~ conceivable that the fire which at
tackled two frame buildings could
have been checked BY ordinary means.
No doubt the loss would have exceed
ed the expense or maintaining the de-
partmert from the beginning. If the
blaze had had unrestricted sway and
perhaps We might include the cost
Of the water works system in the
estimate.
II Is true that the loss Of the two
frame structures would not have been
EfE1t ~ ttAGF ttcA R~CA bD4ipArgCiy AE~
duced to ashes, but IL the flames had
not been confined many thousands Of
dollars worth Of property must have
gone up In smoke.
The fire department made good In
every stage Of the game on this occs-
sion and must be given the praise that
is due. The city vas exceedingly for
tunates too. IN having water supply
and pressure that met every demand.
That the people appreciate the work
Of the fIremen and the wisdom OF
those who have managed city affairs

mark Of a well known citizen who
stood on the street and watched the
boys master the flames Il have been

I thought they were spending TOO
much money on ali this business. but
here Is where ! back up and take it

PASSING or THE STATE CAPITAL

At last the State Capital, the first
daily paper printed In Oklahoma, has
flickered out. From the beginning till
the end, period Of % years. Frank
Greer was the man who presided over
ita destinies. While the papers polit-
zeal policies, according TO our view,
were despicabie in the extreme, we
have always considered Greer as one
OF the heroes ia the newspaper strife.
As long as the Capital enjoyed the
patronage Of Oklahoma Territory. It
had pretty smooth sailing but when
statehood came and the democrats
took charge, II was np against los
ing game. Greer battled manYully
fl . business way but the odds were
too strong against him. Incidentally.
the State Capitals history affords an
other illustration Of the truth that a
metropolitan newspaper cannot be
maintained ia small city As the or.
gan Of It's party. The Capital was ali
that II could be expected 70 be and as
newspaper Il vet high pace for ex-
cellence. but when the political pat.
ronage which supported It was swept
away II couldn't ride the storm.
Personally Frank Greer Is one Of
the most popular newspaper men In
Oklahoma and his frieHds wish him
well IN his future activities.

4 PLEA FOR THE BLEAcHERs,

AS baseball has developed CONNER
cialisn, the tendency has been to put
the price Of admission higher and
higher. Twenty-Five cent seats are
a thing Of the past, and the day Of the
5C-cent fan also seems to be waning
rapidly says the New York Telegram.
We hope not The rooter has had
almost as much to do in making
baseball popular as the game itself.
A man who sits in the grand stand
cannot root like the man who sits in
the bleachers. 1t is not question
OF environment. The grandstand has
even in name the sound OF something

is accustomed when In the bleachers
to shout out advice to the players
and abuse to the umpire is inclined
70 stand and wait upon the judgment
Of the manager when he finds himself
in the seats Of the mighty.
Possibly the man in the grand
stand enjoys the game as much as the
bIeacherite, but not as frankly. From
the grandstand one cannot even throw
pop bottles at the umpire because Of
the protecting screen.
From the grandstand the players
get no such useful tips as Hit it OUT

there viii no one to tell the players

Now IS the time for some one to

the ball field. Let us call a halt upon
the encroachments Of the grandstand
into the preserves OF the real fans.
