A Statement From Mrs. Mears.

I believe it is my duty to my dead
husband to let the public of Shiawassee
county know that their present school
commissioner. Howard Slocum, wrote
Mr.. Mears letter which / still have in
my possession, stating that if Mr..
Mears would not be candidate for
school commissioner that Mr. Slocum
would in 1911 ''le down" and give Mr..
Mears a clear field. Because of this
understanding Mr.. Mesrs did with
draw from the contest. Mr.. Mears
worked hard for Mr. Slocum, expecting
that in 1911 Mr.. Slocum would do as he
said. But when 1911 came, Mr. Slocum
entirely disregarded his promise, was
again candidate, and defeate1 Mr.
Mears. 1 sincerely believe that the
disappointment, the thought that a
friend whom he trusted, should 80 treat
him, fastened his death, and believe
it is nv duty as his wife to let the
voters of Shiawassee county know this
