What They Think Of Roberts.at Home

The candidate of Marquette county,
Mr.. A. T. Roberts is particularly
we'll fitted for the position to which
his many friends desire 10 nominate
him. He is deeply interested in the
development of the upper peninsula
in mining and agriculture. he is
doing much TO prove the value of the
soils Of this region, is spending his
money freely in conducting expert
mental work, and is accomplishing
things that will be of benefit 20 all the
people irrespective OF their political
affiliations. When the people can
secure the consent Of man Of this
stamp 70 give his services 10 the state
they certainly should do all they can
10 nominate and elect him It's bust
ness We have had too little of it, and
too much of other and less desirable
things in national and state bodies.
Mr.. Roberts would give the people
the very best kind of representation.
He knows our needs what we should
have, andw hat we should not have,
and he has the courage and the ability
to make good fight in any cause he
would espouse. In addition to his
numerous qualifications he Is honest,
and that something well worth consid-
ering. Mr.. Roberts will receive fine
vote in his home county where he is
best known, and undoubtedly will also
be we'll supported throughout all the
counties OF his district as he should
be. The opportunity to secure live
man who can help us should not he
overlooked. -Ishpeming Iron Ore

BE RIGHT WITH GERMANY


The Kaiser has asked Americans 10
be fair TO Germany TO reserve judg-
ment until all of the facts come out
and then draw conclusio ON facts not
on reports.
The Kaiser mas right % ask this Of
Americans in view of all that has gone
on in the past When the United States
was rent with civil fued and menaoed
in Europe by the Emperor Of the French
and the English sympathizers with the
southern confederacy. the Germans
held aloof from the European effort
that sought to divide this country and
make "A failure Of popular government.
When the call went ont for yolun-
teers to save the republic the German
Americans, trained in their turner
schools and in their home military
practice, eagerly shouldered arms and
TO this nationality more than 20 any
other may be credited the saving of
Missouri TO the union and, perhaps,
the union itself for had the border
states gone with the south no one can
tell what the result would have been.
Some OF us think that the Kaiser has
been hasty in this war. Perhaps he
was. But, that is not our affair and
besides we dom know what has been
going ON we can't think as they think
in the center of Europe with the race
and religious questions constantly
menacing them. The people of the
United States have nothing at stake in
this war and TO take sides is mere folly
that may rebound with a vengeance
some day.
As an example. The people of the
United States were very universally
upon the side Of Japan during the
Russia Japanese war and that senti-
ment lost us the friendship Of power
that had been of inestimabe service TO
us in the past. II was "A Russian

With the primary election at hand IT
is now certain that if the Republican
party is 10 be successful this Fall,
Alex j. Groesbeck is the man to nom.
nate and every sign IN every portion
Of the State points to his elimination
of ths campaign Reports from all
sections Of the State indicate that he
is growing stronger as the campaign
comes 10 a close. With Wayne County
assured TO him by plurality Of more
than 10000, and the prospect that the
vote in the whole State Will be light.
there is little question that the Detroit
man will be the successful contestant
next Tuesday.
Two big developments OF the past
week aid In arriving at this conclu-
sion. One was that the Detroit News
which has been exceedingly friendly
20 Chase S. Osborn, last week printed
an interview with the former Governor
in which the 500 man declared that
he was Republican Socialist and
believed in the principles OF Socialism
and that the Republican party would
eventually have to adopt the principles
OF Socialism, although he would not
espouse the cause of the party because
he did not believe il to be the proper
medium. He insisted that the Repub-
lican party would eventually be the
medium for the expression OF Socialists
principles. This declaration has
alienated thousands of votes from Mr..
Osborn and il has served TO convince
county officers all over the State who
are closest in touch Within the voters,
that even If he were nominated he
could not be elected.
The other big aid to the Groesbeck
campaign has been that many sup
porter, of Mr. Martindale in all parts
OF the State have become convinced
that their man cannot win and they
have swung to Mr.. GroesBeck as the
likely winner, rather than to Mr..
Osborn.
The nomination of Mr.. Groesbecl1
will greatly strengthen the State
ticket for the Fall campaign. He is

proved beyond any question. II was
his work at that convention that
