The second selection from Mr..

whether he spoke the thoughts Of
Mr.. WILSON occurs In that portion
Of the speech In which he considered

Mr.. GLYNN did not think II worth

made his vicious appeal with u bold

agogy with a self-confidence and I'M
mitigated impudence entirely appro-
pirate tn the purpose he had In mind.
His effort to differentiate the popu.
lation into two classes was as brazen
a. his intention was unpatriotic; and
these two sentences. If Mr.. GLYNN

Camp Ferris, Grayling, August 16.
announcement Tuesday that the
movement OF troops to the Mexican
ed caused feeling of unrest and i'm
patience among the guardsmen and
it is expected that there will be an
increase in the number absent with
out leave.
Major Wells announced that he
had received instructions from the
war department, asking that all
troop movements be suspended until
further instructions. No reason for

ences between the railroads and
their employees.

HON. WASHINGTON GARDNER
Candidate for Governor-Will Speak
at County Fair. Thursday, Aug.
24th-Splendidly Equipped
for Any Position.


No one has to vouch for the Republi.
canism of Hon. Washington Gardner.
patriot, soldier, preacher, statesman,
business man, leader in the civic affairs
of his home city and commanding
figure in the life of Michigan. His
career Is known to all: Soldier in the
civil war at the age of 10 years; shot
down on the battle line at 10; college
graduate at %; later graduate from law
school; practiced law several years; then
entered the Methodist ministry and
later became member of the faculty
of Albion college, While filling the
latter position he was appointed with.
out solicitation on his part to the Office
of secretary of State by Gov. John T..
Rich, and was later twice elected to
the position by very large majorities
During his term of Office he was
nominated and elected representative
in congress from the third district,
filing this responsible position for
twelve years, and for ten of these years
was member of the important COM
mittee of appropriations. At the close
of his service in congress he was ac-
corded the high honor of a public
dinner given by the leading citizens of
Washington and attended by the Presi-
dent and many of the notable men of
congress. In referring to his work as a
member of the appropriations COM
mittee one of his associates on the
committee said:
"Mr. Gardner has never inserted in
an appropriation bill single item to
crafty friend or to win the applause
of the thoughtless No man in Wash
ington owes him Thank You for a
special favor. 1 bear witness to the
sterling qualities of this man. His
honestly, infinite patience and intelli-
gent application are too unworthily
recognized by any mere public dinner.
In giving this slight token of respect,
we feel that we honor ourselves more
than we do him."
In September, 1914, by the unanimous
vote of 1909 delegates representing
every state in the Union he was un-
animously chosen as Commander.in-
Chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public and while serving in that posi-
tion won signal honors for his work
He is now chairman of the committee
on national legislation of that organi
zation.
His entire life work has fitted him to
fill with very great honor the governor
ship of Michigan and his nomination
would be a credit to the party he
represents.

Years.

Corunna, Aug. 11.-Albert j. Aldrich
now of Wentworth township, Livings-
ton county, has begun suit for divorce
against Alice M Aldrich, whom he
married on Nov. 2, 1879. He charges
cruelty and desertion.

plaint, filed by w. J. Parker, that in
1913 he was driven from home and has
not been allowed to return since. He
says that he turned over to his wife a
general stock at Vernon worth $500,
and all of their household goods val
ued at $1,000. He went to Wentworth
township and started in business again.
The Aldrichs have six. children, all
but one OF them grown. Aldrich says
that his con, f, ID. Aldrich, remained
with his mother, and that on numerous
occasions when he, the father, attempt
ed to affect reconciliation with bis
wife, his son interfered and abused him,
being upheld in it by his mother.
