Morris Emerson and Amos Miller
Testify In Probe.

Chicago, July 23.-In the hands OF
dishonest election officials, the EN-
pire voting machines, for which the
Chicago election officials agreed to
pay 100000, could be manipulated
to defeat the will of the people as
expressed at the polls.
This admission was made to the
Butts legislative committee by Amos
Miller and Morris Emerson, members
of the state voting machine commits
sion, who granted permission to the
Empire Voting Machine company to
sell its device In Illinois.
Mr.. Emerson also testified that the
Empire machine which the county
purchased could not be voted on in
less than FIVE minutes II used for a
primary election, and that 1t might
take ten; that 1t would be impossible
for voter to cast scratched ballot
at all in primary with the machines
and that q short ballot and abolish
ment of minority representation in the
legislature would be necessary before
the machines could even approach
practicability for primary work.

would be unfair TO allow the Grand Trunk to

To the Honorable Mayor and Council Of the
City OF Owosso,
Gentlemen:
We learn that the Reliance Truck Company
to which this City gave bonus OF about
Thirty-five Thousand Dollars, is about TO
remove its plant from Owosso. We feel that
this is a breach of faith with out city. And
that said Company, or its assigns should
refund the money which the city paid IL. We
all know the whole transaction was void.
Therefore James Laverock OF this city and
myself make you the following proposition;
We will, with your permission, bring pro
ceedings in the name OF the city, TO recover he
value OF what was given said Company on a
fifty per cent basis. We agree to pay all costs
incurred therein of whatsoever kind and
nature We will give to the city good and
sufficient bond to protect the city harmless
against any expense. And will turn over TO
the City Treasure fifty per cent Of the money
collected from said Company. We do not
intend to permit any such conduct on the part
OF this Company or It's assigns.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT SHOULD

The question upon which the Re-
publicans and the Progressives split

the proper conception and the prac-
ucal grasping of great questions
which are affecting the Republican

lily. 1t is plain to all. now that the
great questions affecting mankind
were at the bottom OF the misunder-
standing which caused the Progress
ives 10 leave the Republican party.
while 1t is just as plain that both
were working To the same end though
along different lines. Most people be-
lieved that the split was because the
Republican National Committee re-.
fused to make up the roll of the Ma.
tional convention as the Progressives
thought it ought to be made up.
This was not sufficient excuse for
the wrecking OF great party and all
sensible men now realize that fact
There is not sane. sensible demand
made by the Progressive party that
the Republican party does not endorse
and that the people do not endorse;
then where is the difference? The
differences which divided the two we're
Imaginary and will sane. reasonable
men allow imaginary differences to
divide them? As it is merely an i'm
aginary difference that divides them
and it is only a matter OF name. why
can not reasonable. sensible men get
together and adjust matters?
