Some one has had the temerlty to sug-
gest That an Owosso man should be
supported for congress o-thas Owosso
might be put on the map. If this city
has not been placed on the map in q
most effective manner during the years
Uncle Joe Fordney has held the posi-
ton we shall have to be shown. Mr..
Fordney has done more for Owe $50 in q
lasting manner than all his predeces-
sors from the district and he is going to
continue to do 80. Space is too limited
to recall the favors our city and citizens
have received and most of our voters
have pretty good memories.

The general convention af the Epis.
copal church held in st. Louis, Mo-,
last week declared against the saloon
as follows: ''Our age is witnessing vast

that the saloon has been more and more
a menace to the best interests of our
corporate and individual life."

voters law so that their soldier boys
at the front could vote Michigan sol.

an injustice is, to put it very mildly. a
blot upon the record of Gov. Ferris
which will never be erased. i

and cannot forget all he has 80 cheer
fully done for us. We are for him for
many more terms in congress.

easily proves that President Wilson and
his party are not equal to handling the
world trade war which will be on this
country when peace comes to the bat
