Patriotism.

A nation is made great, not by its
fruitful acres, but by the men who
cultivate them; not by its great for

not by its mines, but by the men who
work in them; not by it's railways,
but by the men who build and run
them. America was great land
when Columbus discovered it; Amer
leans have made Of it great nation.
In l778 our fathers had vision of a
new Nation conceived In liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.' Without an
army they fought the greatest of en-
isting world empires that they might
realize this vision. A third of CEN
tury later, without a navy they fought
the greatest navy in the world that
they might win for their Nation the
freedom of the seas. Half a century
later they fought through an unpar-
allelled Civil War that they might
establish for all time on this conti-
nent the inaleinable right of life, lib
erty, and the pursuit Of happiness A
third Of a century later they fought
to emancipate al oppressed neighbor,
and, victory won, gave back Cuba to

The man nominated by the
republicans of Michigan for
Governor next Tuesday, will,
without the shadow of a doubt,
be the next Governor of this
great state. For that reason it
is the duty of every republican
to go to the polls on that day,
and cast his vote for the best
qualified man to head the ticket.
1t is the duty of every repub-
lican to study carefully the
qualifications of the various
candidates and their fitness for
that important Office. There
are five candidates for this
place. The True Northerner
believes they are all excellent
gentlemen, and yet we cannot
help, after a careful consider
alton of the matter, and a study
of the qualifications of the var
ious candidates, to urge every
republican to go to the polls
next Tuesday and cast his vote
for Gerritt j. Diekema. His
natural ability, training and eX-
perience in public life eminently
qualify him. Mr.. Diekema also
is pledged to what is known as a
Budget System" of appropria-
tions which will be enacted into
law if he becomes Governor.
This law would naturally reduce
the high taxes in Michigan, and
in itself is sufficient reason for
every republican to favor Mr..
Diekema. He would be really
Big" Governor.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1916-08-25
Duty of Every ElectOr

Next Tuesday, August 20, is
Primary election. One of the
faults with the Primary system
of nominations, isthattoo little in
terest is taken by the people in
the Primaries. This was one
of the great faults of the old
caucus system of nominations.
Quite frequently under that sys-
tenn, merely a handful of men
would gather in caucus and
name the nominees. There is
danger of the Primaries retro
grading into the same old rut,
unless every citizen considers it
a duty to go to the polls on that
day and express his choice for
the various nominees of his par
ty. Another danger in a light
vote in the Primary is, that the
minority choice might win. If
every elector considers it not
only a privilege, but a solemn
duty to go to the polls on that
day and cast a vote for his
choice of the various candidates
for office, the majority choice
will be nominated in each in
stance, and consequently the
best men for office. The True
Northerner therefore urges
every voter in Van Buren,
county to make his plans to- go
to the polls on Primary day, and
vote for the man in every office
whom he believes the best quail
flied for such office. If the
electors will do that, there is no
fear of the outcome.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1916-08-25

Very little has been said in
this campaign in regard to con-
gressional candidates. Congress-
man Hamilton was unable to
make a canvass of his district.
He has been "on the job" in the
House and faithfully discharged
the duties of his office. On
August % he will go to Maine to
assist in the campaign in that
state. Therefore his constit-
uents in the Fourth Congress-
ional district will not see or hear
him prior to the Primaries. He
is known, however, to every one,
and his qualifications and worth
to the state and to his district
cannot be overlooked. AS al
ready stated in these columns,
this is the time of all times
when Mr.. Hamilton's presence
in Congress is needed. The
next President, House, and un-
doubtedly, the Senate, will, if all
signs do not fail, be republican.
Mr.. Hughes then has a right to
expect that the very best avail
able men be sent to Washington.
Mr.. Hamilton's splendid mind,
his ability as an orator, his
years of training and exper-
fence eminently fit him, and
make him more valuable by far
than any new man who might
be elected. The country needs
him, and the True Northerner
has no doubt but that the re-
publicans of his district will
again return him.

also warns voters against The

with the sheriff's force and some
others have ridden night and day
for the past six weeks in an effort
to form "Rings" and "Combina-

ations in the various county
offices in the future. Mr.. Bur
hans is a part of the only "Paw
