This being the last opportunity Of
speaking to the voters of Shiawassee
county through your paper, l desire
to say simply this, that in the first
place | wish every voter in the county
would attend the primaries and what
ever their verdict it, shall be salts
fed.
l have no political machine to work
for me, whatever is done must be done
by my friends of this county. If they
feel as though someone else can serve
them better than l can, l am willing
to give up the position that l now oc-
cupy. One thing l wish to call your
attention to that while your state
taxes and the city, township and
school taxes have increased during
the last ten years, if you take out the
road taxes | am quite certain that
the county taxes have not increased.
1t does not cost this county as much
to run the circuit court now as it did
ten years ago.
During the last three years there
have been over one thousand cases
commenced in this circuit, while four
or five Of these cases are now pending
in the supreme court there has only
been one reversed and sent back for a
new trial. | have tried to do my full
duty and if the people of this district
believe that | have served them faith
fully | should be pleased with their
vote at the primary. AT the present
time | am one of the youngest judges
in the state in point of services. "A
large number of the judges of the
other districts are serving their third,
fourth and fifth terms. have had
a great many judges serve here from
other counties, but this county has
never had to pay them one dollar for
their services or their expenses. Last
year other judges held court here for
about two weeks while l held court
outside of my own district some eight
weeks.
All | ask in this matter is that you
give the matter careful consideration.
If you think my opponent is better
fit to do the important work which a
circuit judge has to do, then 1 want
you to vote for him. If on the other
hand on account of my experience
and qualifications / am better able
to do the work than he is, then ]
would like to have your vote, but by
all means turn out and vote as it is
matter of great Importance to the
good citizens of this county.

CAMPAIGNING FOR
OWoSSo OFFICES
E. o. Dewey Seems to Have Strong
Following In Business Section

All of the candidates for Owosso
municipal Offices are beginning to
work in earnest now, and are paying
particular attention to the factories.
While they are allowed to 60 through
some Of the plants, they are all bar
red from the Malleables plant by an
order from the main office at Lancas-
ter, N. Y. However, paper endors-
ing Mr.. Dewey was circulated in the
plant before the order was issued. AT
the car shops Supt. A. Syverson had
personal charge Of Mr.. Dewey's NOM
mating petition.
Mr.. Dewey appears to be very
strong in the business section and it
looks as though the merchants were
going to stand almost solidly back of
him, in recognition of his never-tiring
efforts to advance the city's welfare,
industrially and otherwise.
"1f the people turn Mr.. Dewey
down, it will convince me that public
service is a thankless task, - declared
one business man. "He has ALWAYS
been in the front rank of workers for
the betterment Of Owosso and this is
the peoples chance to show their ap-
probation of his efforts. ''-Owosso

ing compact and powerful organiza-
tion to further the interests of the

ance, cooperative plan, ETC., are for
the purpose of making the parent or

The Owosso-F Flint Electric Line.

A. L. Watkins, of Battle Creek
engineer of the Michigan Railway Co..
was in OwossO over night Tuesday
and on Wednesday accompanied +.
o. Dewey over the proposed route to
Lennon to call upon the property
owners who have not signed the op-
tions forthe right OF way ana at len
non met number of Clayton town
ship citizens from whom options are
desired. The objections. were gone
over and in most of the cdses it is
believed amicable settlements for the
right Of way will be reached at an
early date upon the same terms as in
the options already secured. The
right of way has been secured across
Venice township with the exception
of four cases and in Clayton town
ship, Genesee county, so far as the
owners have been called upon there
are but four who have not cheerfully
given an option. Two of these four
are holding off because they wish a
side track built by the company at
its expense, which the company can
not do, as it is contrary to the rail
road law and the rules Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. The
company is willing to build the sid
ings wherever there is enough bust
ness to warrant the same if the prop
erty owners will pay the cost of con-
struction which will be rebated to
them on car load shipments until the
expense is all paid back. Mr.. Dewey
will continue the work in Genesee
county next week.

the Laurier Liberals, led by the de-
posed premier who seeks restoration
to power on an anti-conscription
platform. In Victoria interest has
been injected into the campaign by
the non-partisan league, an outgrow-
tn of the movement in North Dakota.
Leedy, who was elected governor of
Kansas in 1895 on the wave of Pop
ulism which swept that state, natur-
ally might be expected to identify
himself with the new movement.
The dispatches indicate, however,
that he has small chance of election,
as the Union candidate he opposes is
expected to win.
Leedy, following his defeat for re-
election in Kansas in 1898, went to
Alaska two years later and there be-
gan the practice of law. In 1904 he
took up farming, and reports from
time to time since has been that he
has made some progress toward the
restoration of the fortune he lost in
