For County Drain Commissioner
Alonzo Griffin.

Because of the fact that his duties az
supervisor of the township of Vernon
have kept him 30 busy during the past
three weeks that he has not had time>tc
visit all parts of the county to meet the
voters, we desire to call attention to
the Importance of electing Alonzo Crit
IN as County Drain Commissioner. AS
has hitherto been pointed out, Mr..
Griffin Is well qualified in every way to
perform the duties of this Office and 1t
will be to the interest of those owning
farm lands which will be subject to
taxation for drains to elect a practical
msn like Mr.. Griffin. The Office is the
last on the county ticket but 1t is one
of great Importance as its occupant
spends thousands Of dollars annually
and with man of good judgment like
Mr.. Griffin possesses the necessity of
establishing drains, the course on which
they are laid out, the assessment of cost
or the determining Of damages, the let
ting of contracts and securing adequate
bonds. the pushing of the work to com.
pletion, etc., will be handled In the
interest of the taxpayers. No mistake
will be made in voting for Alonzo
Griffin.

Writes Julius 8 Kirby to Hon. j. w.
Fordney.


FordneY.
Julius b. Kirby of Saginaw, who
spoke in this city few nights ago in
opposition to the reelection OF Cong
Fordney, wrote the latter few months
ago saying / assure you of my esteem
for you" ''you are ut liberty to call
upon me at any time when I may be
able to do you any good. / have had
one or two occasions TO address YOU
while representing this district and my
matters have always received prompt
consideration. and have great admir-
alton for you" Mr.. Fordney Is today
exactly the same considerable citizen,
the same respected man in his home
community as he has been for more
than forty years, the same useful rep.
resentative in congress as when MIR.
Kirby wrote him the letter. The only
difference is that Mr.. Kirby has chang
cd his political belief and for that rea-
son came to Owosso and grossly mis-.
represented Mr.. Fordney, saying among
other things that the latter ''had no
more business in Saginaw than rab-
bit" that when Fordney was first elect
ed to congress he was known as a poor
man and that now he is reputed to be
worth between IA and II million dol
lars" The first statement is absolutely
untrue as every Saginaw citizen well
knows and the latter is 80 ridiculous
as to refute itself. Mr.. Fordney is in.
terested in small way in number of
Saginaw business enterprises and is
one Of the first men appealed to when
any new enterprise is under considera-
ton. Few men have done more for
their home towns. Mr.. Kirby has
reason to be ashamed of his Owosso
speech. However, his utterances were
80 wild that they were laughed at by
his audience and will do no one any
harm save Mr.. Kirby himself.
