ALEX. ]. GRoEsBECK.
BY Edgar A. Guest.
rhe words that will some day be said.
When he's dead,
When the warmth OF his grip
Aar the smile OF his lip
With his spirit have tournied away.
The thousands will come
To his form, cold and numb,
And truthfully speak OF his worth.
But, oh! l prefer
Now and then to refer
70 q pal, while he's here on the earth.
ie never has waited for some day to
speak
To the weak,
)r held back the help he could give
The warmth of his grip
And the smile on his lip
lie gives to his brothers who live.
He stands as man
To do all that he can
20 better the pathways of men;
To the brother In need,
He believes in the deed,
Tot some day, perhaps, but right then.
Greet and unmoved by the minions Of
wrong,
He is strong;
% himself ne is steadfastly true;
For what ne holds right
He is ready to fight.
70 service is too much to do.
In defense OF the weak
He is eager to speak,
IeI'll tell Of another mans worth;
But never word
OF himself have | heard.
from this pal, who's the salt of the
earth.
The supporters Of Mr.. Groesbeck
rave perfected, magnificent organi
.ation in the county Of the candidate

primary day, and they declare that
dr. Groesbeck will receive $4,000
,otes in Wayne county, an average
If 100 votes per precinct, as there are
.56 precincts in til ecounty.
But the strength of Mr.. Groesbeck
s not confined to Wayne county. IN
Ter the able leadership of w. r.
Dates, an active campaign has been
conducted in the upper peninsula and
he Detroit man will receive a ire.
nendous vote north of the straits.
His friends also predict that he will
larry all OF the counties In the south
EASTERN part of the state and a num-
Der of scattered counties throughout
he remainder of the state, and that
lis total vote will exceed 10000 votes
With Eve candidates in the field and
he strong probability that the pri-
nary vote will be light, they assert
hat this will be far more than enough
o assure Mr.. Groesbeck's nomination.
