vote, the vote in Flint fell off about
1880 from last year. There has
been no falling off in school enroll
ment. On the contrary, the actual
number belonging on the last day of
March this year was 1899, last year
4466. There was no city directory
issued in 1911, but the directory for
1912 has 1886 names, which is
practically the same number as are
found in the directory of 1910. The
business of the postoflice is as large
as last year. The number of fac
tory workers in March, 1912 was 700
more than in March 1911, and in
April 1912 200 more than in April
1911. The conclusion is evident that
there has been no falling off in our
population, yet the total vote fell
off 1043. This bears out conclu-
sion that we had long ago arrived at,
viz, that last year the liquor inter-
ests had colonized among us about a
thousand wet votes. / should ex.
plain Mr.. Mcnton's vote for the two
years about as follows: this year
about 1000 regular party Socialists,
and 354 non-Socialists who felt that
he had not had fair deal in office,
last year about 100 regular party
Socialists, about 500 native non-So-
cialists who were tired of poor
city government and anxious to try
something different, 315 wet trades,
and 941 colonized wet voters. | am
not implying that the Socialist par
ty is a wet party, but it is reason
ably certain that the malcontcnts,
the chronic out-of-a-jobS that Will
liam Manchester could pick up here
and there, but principally in Detroit,
to come to Flint and vote us wet
would quite generally vote the So
cialist ticket. The reason Mr.. Men.
toms vote and the entire vote of the
city of Flint fell off about thou
sand this year is plainly because the
aforesaid malcontents were in Lam
sing voting Ingham county wet and
in other places on the same JOB,
/ am aware that another might so
over these same figures and arrive
at an entirely. different conclusion.
1 am also aware that this letter is
very long, and yet presents only the
barest oailine of the argument lead
ing to The conclusions. | remain,
Very truly yours,

fore the bleeding could be stopped.
No arrests were made in connection

Negotiations on the part of the
board of commerce that have been

tion of site of Is acres for the pro.
posed plant is now under consid-
Grafton.
Moffet & Son, whose wholesale
grocery store was destroyed by fire

Lunch room, bakery and ice cream
parlor in Clio for the past three
years, disposed of his property
here last week to p. l.. Chown of
Flint, who will continue the same
line of business at the same stand.
During Mr. English's residence in
Clio an excellent trade has been es-
tabliShed and as Mr.. Chown comes
to Clio well recommended, he bids
fair to maintain the same standard
of excellence in serving the public
along the "feed" line. Mr.. English
and family left Wednesday for
Scottville, where they will engage
in the same line of work. While
sorry to lose them from Clio, a cor
dial welcome is extended to the new

THAT DAM DAM

The warm weather and rain cf
last week raised Pine Run creek
nearly to the flood stage. The wa
ter in Lake Tacoma was raised t.
such an extent that the dam wax I'm
able 10 stand the pressure aid about
twenty-fvse,teet Of the southern end
of it was washed9u
ID. A. Wing, the clio Ice Trust,
who owns the dam, says that nc
was going to rebuild that section
this summer and that the high water
has kindly saved him the trouble
of digging it out and has left things
in condition so he can go ahead and
fix the dam up the way it ought to
be. But the tuneful bullfrogs who
warble their cheerful melodies
along the sedgy shores of Lake Ia
coma will have to make themselves
contented with more limited bathing
facilities until the dam is rebuilt or
else seek another home where water
is more plentiful.

LOCAL OPTION FIGHT
ALREADY PLANNED

TER TO MESSENGER
Takes Exception to Last Weeks Edi.
torial Statement that Vets Voted
With Citizens Party Through a
Promise of No Fight Next Spring.
Analyses Socialist Vote. Thinks
Saloon Question Did Not Figure
in Flint Election.

Flint, Michigan, April Q, 1912.
Editor Messenger,
Clio, Michigan.
Dear Sir-I note that in explain
ing, in your last issue, the recent
defeat of the Socialist party in Flint
that YOU use the following language;
workers for the Citizens party
also went among the saloon keep
crs and told them that if the Citizens
candidates were elected there would
be no strenuous campaign for The
submission of the "dry" question
next spring. This argument caught
the saloon keepers vote and nearly
every one of them was quietly
working against the Socialists"
am convinced that this is an en-
tire miSapprehension of the facts ip-
the case. = We have watched the
Champaign very closely because we
expected that the saloons would be
with the Socialists, and thought that,
if this were the case, it nigh. aid
us in the local option campaign next
spring. We found that certain sa-
loonists were working quietly for
the Citizens ticket, that certain 9TH
crs were working quietly for The So
cialist ticket, but that the greater
number were selling whiskey right
along and taking no part in the cam
paign, pretending always to be on
the side of the man with whom they
were talking. The saloonists know
that they will have to fight next
spring and naturally they do not
care to "get in wrong" with either
party. Sometimes they are Social
lists and sometimes Democrats or
Republicans, but they are whiskey
men all the time.
AS to the salooniSts being prom
iscd that if the Citizens ticket were
elected there would be no strcnu-
Gus campaign for the submission of
the dry question next spring, this is
folly. Who would have any author
ity TO make such a promise? What
assurance would the saloonists have
that such a promise would be car
ried out? The local option COM
mittcc would have as much author
iiy as any one absolutely none at
thaD to make such a promise, but
nothing is farther from our
thoughts. In fact, committee
meeting has been called for April
10 and a county meeting is planned
for the last week of the current
month, to reorganize and plan for
the local option Campaign Of next
spring. If any such promise as you
mention was ever made, the saloon
lists will not be able to realize it,
nor can the promiscrs deliver The
goods.
do not believe that the saloon
question figured to any extent in the
recent election in Flint. A study
OF The election returns indicates that
the Socialists pollcd this year just
aboutthc full party vote and that Mr..
Mention received two or three hun
dred votes from non-Socialists who
felt that he had not had fair deal
in office. Mr.. Mention received 1854
votes this year against 1856 votes
last year. II will be noticed that
his vote fell Off almost exactly 100.

dous campaign, and the great and

FLORIDA IS FINE, BUT
OH YOU LOVELY CLIO
VISITORS TO SOUTHERN CLINE
GLAD TO RETURN
~: H ,O,R6urke Tells of the Land of
Promise. Favorahly Impressed
With Parts of Southern Country.
Other Parts N. G. All Right for
Winter, but What of the Summer:

Our well known citizen, J. II.
O'Rourke, proprietor of the institu-
tion which manufactures rays of
enlightenment and sheds them on
the streets Of Clio, returned last
week from visit to the palm lined
beaches and sunny orange groves Of
The pleasant land of Florida.
While their fellow townsmen
were frantically stoking the steam
heating plant or wading through
dreary wastes of snow and mud,
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Rourke were filling
their lungs with the ozone of the
balmy southern sea breezes and
busily swatting the persistent Flor
ida mosquito.
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Rourke left Clio
on March 10Th and returned on
April 5th. While in Florida they
divided their time between Day
tona, which is on the Halifax river,
south of Jacksonville, and Monticel-
10, which is about 35 miles from
Tallahassee and about the same dis
lance from the Gulf Of Mexico.
In talking of his trip, Mr.
O'Rourke said that Daytona was a
swell winter resort" but that he
did not like that part of the country
south of Jacksonville. There are
some oranges being raised in that
vicinity but ills hardly far enough
south to be really in the orange
belt. Orange growing in Florida is
increasing, and at the present time
is almost back to where it was be-
~Sora - .big freeze" which brought
kdestructio to Tn, groves some years
Eago.
The country about Monticello
impressed Mr.. O'Rourke as being a
district which was possessed of in
finite possibilities. AT present this
part of the state is in an undevelop-
ed condition but il is now being
rapidly opened up. A large part OF
the inhabitants of lhisaSsgroil are
putting most of their, energies into
T the planting Of groves of pecan
trees. The demand for this lus-
cious nut is large and far exceeds
the supply. A fully developed tree
will produce a large crop of nuts
and will continue to produce for
many years, the nuts always bring
a good price when marketed.
Mr.. O'Rourke says that the eli
mate, while he was there, was de-
lightful one and it is claimed that
it is equally good in summer, as it
seldom gets so extremely hot as it
does in some of the more northern
states. He says that the Monticello
country is ga fine place for living
purposes" but he failed to make any
statement as to what the prospects
were for the establishment of an
electric lighting plant there.
Yes, Jack says that some parts OF
Florida are all right to live in but
he thinks that he will continue
business at the old stand and fur
nish "juice" TO the inhabitants of
Clio.

TO INCREASE
SHEEP HERDS
BY 100000
State Is Expected to Fatten Fourth
More Lambs This Year Than
Ever Before

Denver, Aug. 23-Colorado will
this winter feed 25O,000 more sheep
than ever in her history, is the be-
lief expressed by Simon Bitterman,
who has been making an active
study of the subject and who is
largely interested in the sheep
market.
"The alfalfa crop is larger than
ever before and the same conditions
prevail elsewhere" he said. The
largest feed of sheep in this state
heretofore has been 100000 head.
My best information is that there
will be taken care of on the farms
and feeding yards of the state this
year l,250,000 sheep.
About 60 per cent Of these will
be fed in northern Colorado. and
the greater part of the other 40 per
cent in the Arkansas valley. There
will be a distribution of between ST.
100000 and $S,0OO,O00 among the
farmers. which will do much toward
increasing the prosperity of the
state.
The outlook for the sheep and
wool business for the coming year
or two is better than in years, and
as this is one of the largest indus
tries of Colorado and it's neighbor,
ing states of Wyoming and New
Mexico, Denver is bound to partici-
pate in the resultant prosperity

VISITS TOWN
he HAD OWNED

LaSalle, Aug. 22-Ed Williams, a
pioneer of this district, who owned
the land and farmed it where now
stands the town of Milliken, made
his first trip to Milliken today and
hardly recognized his old stamping
ground. Where stood his barn and
corrals the Antlers hotel is built,
business blocks line the lane to the
old COW pasture and where Williams
watered his stock the thirsty ones
from Greeley and elsewhere slack
their thirst Railroads wind about
over his wheat fields and the site OF
his old home is marked by the Mil
liken bank. Williams felt almost
like Rip Van Wrinkle when he saw
the changes, he says. The husky
pioneer lives now at Weldon with
his SON.
