that 1t is useless to try to do anything

frankly on the side Of Wall street as is
shown by the selection of Mckinley for
manager and his hard and fast alliance
with the old guard in congress, with
men like Penrose, Smoot and Crane.
and further by his recent bitter attack

~ Newspapers arriving today give de.
tails of the death of John T. Dare,

compared to the amounts purchased
in other years This would indicate
the uncertainty felt because of the
peculiar presidential situation which
this country has not confronted in
many decades.
Mr. Cushing further said that he
had heard considerable politics talked
by the farmers of Barry county while
he was visiting his father before going
to New York He said that the DEM
ocrats were for Wilson while the Re-
publicans were split up, some for
Taft and some for Roosevelt, with
Roosevelt far in the lead. He said
that in Barry county the farmers were
very much discouraged over their
crops as the continuous rains and cool
weather had practically ruined them.

FOR COUNTY DRAIN COMMITS
SIONER.

L. w. Redman, the present encum-
bent of the office, who now seeks the
nomination for second term for the
office of County Drain Commissioner
has made a record during his present
term, for which he will never need
feel ashamed. During his present
term he has laid out and sold nearly
so drains, some of which have been
large ones covering extensive drain
age districts and up to date there has
been but one Board Of Review called
out to review his assessments and
in this case after spending three days
checking up his figures on an eleven
mile drain the Board sustained his
assessment.
Being a surveyor and civil engineer
himself and thoroughly conversant
in all the details of the office and a
hard worker, together with the fact
that the office is being handled eco
nomically ii would seem but just and
good business Judgment upon the
part of the voters to give Mr.. Red
man the nomination for a second
term.

CONSERVATISM SHOWN
Presidential Election Causes Racket
Store Buyers to Go Easy

w. w. Cushing, OF the firm of
Cushing & Benedict, returned last
week from his trip to New York for
the purpose OF buying the winter and
holiday goods for the firm. Mr..
Cushing attended the Racket Store
Association meeting. This associa-
ton meets every buying season and
goes direct to the factories where
they buy their goods together in
large lots and thus are enabled to
sell their goods at low prices be-
cause of the large discounts obtained
by buying together
When asked what the political out
look was in the east as to the presi-
dental election, Mr.. Cushing said, 81
have nothing to say about politics,

Wilson or Roosevelt mentioned at
the association meeting" AS to the

ditions favorable they generally steer
clear of rash experiments in politics.
Only in periods of calamity, when
everything seems to be going wrong,
and when worse conditions threaten.
do the masses of the public turn from
the party which is uppermost in the
government They want change,
believing that change of any sort
could not harm them, and might, pos
sibly, help them. The strike in the
Carnegie works at Homestead, Pa,
in 1892, and the prominence of the
Pinkerton guards there on the side
of Carnegie aroused a popular pre-
JUDGE against the ironmaster, and as
there were labor troubles in other
places also, the employers in all cases
being presumed to be Republicans,
wave of popular prejudice was created
which defeated Harrison for re-elec-
ton and gave Cleveland his second
term.
But the physical outlook in 1912
is pleasing. Nobody will asert that
the Republican party deserves all the
credit for the great crops of this
year. Nor will any Republican say
that his party is entirely responsible
for the favorable condition of the
public health. 1t will be remembered,
however, that the National Govern
ment, a few years ago, assumed con-
troll of the quarantine arrangements
at the country's ports, and an i'm
provement in conditions set in imme-
diately. The wisdom of the Repub
lican party in conducting the affairs
of the government has had much to
do with the trade rally which is seen
on all sides. All of these considera-
tons will help the Republican party
on November 5"

CONGRESSMAN HAS EXCEP-
TIONAL RECORD.

The best criterion by which to
Judge the fitness of one who runs for
a public office is the record which he
has previously made in the service
of the public A careful study of the
record of Congressman Dodds of this
extensive district fails to reveal a
single act upon his part that is not
to be commended by the people of
this district as being exactly right.
Many questions of grave Importance
have arisen during the past three
years, some of them, as Canadian
reciprocity, parcels post, and ques-
tons concerning the sugar-beet in
dustry, have been,of the utmost inn
portance to the people of this state
in particular. Our congressman has
always been found zealously fighting
for the interests of his constituents
in these matters.
Send him back. He has been an
honest and efficient representative.
His wide experience in governmental
affairs, his ability as lawyer and his
extensive acquaintance with the peo-
pie of his district and with their
needs, is now coup!cd with the adj
vantage of personal acquaintance with
a great many of the members of the
House and of the Senate at Washing
ton, and the character of his future
service will be even better than that
of his past

SELLS Dirty BUSINESS
Vern Bamber Purchased ]. Wriqht'S
Dfay Llne--Wright Buys Garage

After nine years of meeting the
trains i'll summer and winter, some
times waiting until five o'clock in
the morning to exchange mail pouch
es, John Wright decided to sell his
dray. express and mail business. He
found a ready buyer in Vern Bam-
Der Mr.. Bamber took possession of
the business last Monday morning.
Mr.. Wright has worked on the dray
for the past nine years and has had
only one vacation of week for a
fishing trip. The new drayman is
wellknown in Alma, having made his
home her for some time. His pleas
ing personality will no doubt win
him the good will of the business
men that has always been held by
Mr.. Wright.
No sooner had Mr.. Wright sold
out his dray line than he purchased
the Wyant garage from Clinton Mel
son. He started in his new business
last Monday and will have the agen-
cies of the Ford and Maxwell cars.
He will employ competent help and
with the push that has characterized
his work for the past years, there is
little doubt but what he will make a
success of his undertaking.

FARM PRODUCTS AND POLITICS

The ST. Louis Globe Democrat, one
of the strong Republican papers Of
Missouri, comments as follows: "A
well-known Democratic editor said
early in 1908, that nothing except a
crop failure, pestilence and a panic
would enable his party to beat the
Republicans in presidential year
1t will be noticed that none of these
calamities is in sight now, and the
election is less than three months
away. In fact, the country is in a
rather salubrious condition, hygien-
ically Not only is there no sign of
a panic, but business Of all sorts is
Improving in degree which has
gone beyond all expectations. This
rs true of every important branch Of
activity. Moreover, government crop
reports indicate that this will be a
year Of great abundance. In the ag-
gregate the grain crops will break all
the records. For the first time in the
country's history the products of the
farms will pass the 100000 900
mark.
According to all the presidents
this ought to be good year for the
Republican party. The party which
is in power in the nation in a year of
plenty, as this is, usually wins When
the people find all the physical con-

The 25th senatorial district of Mich

by Hon. Harry J. Kane of ISABEL
LA county. The years of 19o9-10 and

Gratiot now ask that the district be
represented in the Senate during the
years 1928 by a man from Gratiot
and have unanimously agreed on
Francis King as their candidate
Never was the Republican party in
this county more united on a candi-

are today for Francis King.

weeks visited nearly every village,
city and hamlet in the county, con-
