A CARD.

To the Voters of the Fourth Ward:
During q political campaign there
seems to be little conjunction in
putting into circulation any story
that It is thought will injure the
prospects Of a candidate, regardless
Of truth and without any effort at
ratification. have not escaped
this method of opposition, and while
1t is impossible to approach 1ndlVldu-
ally each voter in contradiction OF
Injurious reports, can at least
reach those who are readers of the
Farmer, and / take this means OF
Informing them that have never
advocated a stsck-s5hw, either IN
town or parish, believing it Is the
right Of the people to choose for
themselves, by ballot, whether they
wish such law or not. also wish
to call attention to the fact that the
financial condition of the parish is
now better than it has ben for a
number OF years; that there has
been no increase in tho rate CT tax
alton due to any action of the police
jury, the tax being the same now
as it has been for some years BACK
the only change being enc made un,
der legal requirement, when one mil!
was taken from the general fund and
placed to the credit of the schoo
fund.
Trusting that this specific denla
will remove any impressions made
by contrary stories intended to hurt
my candidacy, am,
| Very truly yours,
| GEO. F. BIERHORST.

TAFT WILL NOT VISIT
COPPtRDOM NEXT MONTH
PRESIDENT WILL, HOWEVER, PAY
MARQUETTE A VISIT, SEPT. 10.
He is Expected to Come to Houshton
in October.

The very welcome though rather sur
prlsing news that President Taft vii
pay Marquette a visit next month was
received yesterday i'm a telegram from
Chas. ID. Hilles. the presidents secre-
tary To Congressman ii. O. Young
who is at his home I'm Ishpeming. says
the Mining Journal. The telegram stat
ed that the president will arrive in

will remain here until 2:45 p. m, Sept
20, when he will return 10 Grand Rap
ids. where he has an engagement
Sept 81.
Marquette will probably be the only
city in the upper peninsula 10 he hon
ored by visit from President Taft at
that time. his secretary's telegram ex-
pressly stating that IL will not be pos
sible for him TO go To Houghton. This
viii be a bitter disappointment to cop
per country people. as the plans made
early in the summer contemplated that
the president would attend the Michi-
gan College Of Mines anniversary cele-
bration, the trip later having TO be
given up on account of the tardy adj
journment of Congress. However, il is
expected the president will visit the
copper country in October, that being
the month set for his Houghton trip. 1t
Is probable he will visit the copper
country on the way back from his
western trip.
Mr.. Taft will he royalty entertained
nj Marquette next month. One thing
has been definitely decided upon al
ready. The entire upper peninsula viii
be invited 10 come to Marquette and
lake part in welcoming the president.
Formal invitations to the mayors of
he upper peninsula cities will probab-
y be sent out within a short time.
