FOR STATE SENATOR.

Otto L. Sprague of Owosso, is ambi.
tious to be senator from the Ingham.
Shiawassee district and indications
seem to point to the fact that his ambi.
tion may be attained If one is to Judge
by the unanimity of expression in his
favor heard daily from both city and
county voters. 1t was only day or
two before the time for fling primary
petitions expired that it was definitely
known that Prosecuting Attorney Seth
Q Pulver, to whom the nomination
had been conceded by general consent
of the voters in this and Inghsm coun-
ties, would not be candidate for sena-
tor, when within few hours enough
signatures were obt aimed to qualify o.
L. Sprsgue for place ON the primary
ballot. That he will make worthy
successor to Senator Foster the floor
leader in the senate for Gov. Sleeper
in the last legislative session and man
of commanding influence. is acknowl-
edged by those who know Mr. Sprague
and his ability to grasp and handle
public affairs to the satisfaction of the
public. He has thoroughly demon

the South might not have had some
influence on the mind and conscience
of Travis, inducing him to believe
that, with the South in the saddle, the
North was fair game.
A motion to remove the words
Omitted States" from their literature
was seconded and carried alta meet
ing of the l. w. w. in Spokane, last
June, according to the testimony of
the l. w. w. secretary, now on trial
before Judge Lands. The Democrat
ic party must be proud of it's past
cozening of the l. w. w. Certainly a
motion to remove the l. w. w. and its
literature from the United States
would meet with the unanimous ap-
proval of every Republican and de-
cent citizen in this country.
Henry NJ Goldfogle, former DEM
ocratic Member of Congress, has been
designated in fusion arrangement
between Democrats and Republicans
as the candidate from the 18th N. Y.
Congressional District to run against
Meyer London, Socialist. London has
not supported the country in the war,
and the 18th district is normally DEM
ocratic, Goldfogle having seven terms
in Congress to his credit, being de-
feated by London for the Gath Con-
gress. 1t is a case of two evils,
choose the lesser. A good Democrat
is to be preferred to Socialist.

elected for the duration of the war"
just like the boys enlisted in the army.
1t would be about as much of an out
rage upon faithful public servant to
turn him down when he is away on the
job as it would be to take advantage of
boy when he is away on the job. In
fact, congress took occasion to fix it
so no one could disturb boys affairs
at home while he is away on the job.
SO it should be with congressman
who is supporting the war and is a
candidate for reelection. Keep him
on the job and white him 1--WE will take

mary ticket has the following con-
cerning this congressional district:
Hon. J. w. Fordney is the only can
didate on the Republican ticket at all
fitted for the place.
His self nominated opponent is a
fellow named Townsend from Sagi-
nav.
Though the Democratic congression-
al committee of this district acknowl-
edged that they had no fit candidate

Fordney in November, the name of
Miles j. Purcell of Saginaw appears on
the ticket and will undoubtedly be
certified as nominated.

FORD SENTIMENT DECREASES
Osborn Worker Sees Victory In
Sight for thu Brilliant Upper
P,ninsuIar Man

Robert p Hudson of Sault Ste.
Marie, visited the county Wednesday
in the interest of the candidacy of
Chase S. Osborn for United States
Senator. He has covered several
counties lately and finds that there IL
undoubtedly an utter lack Of support
for Henry Ford for the Republican
nomination and many Democrats dis
gusted with his lack of patriotic en-
thusasm, his failure to prove himself q
good citizen as to having any decided
ideas or principles on public questions.
He Is we'll pleased with the outlook for
the nomination of Mr.. Osborn, who he
finds Is regarded as the one man able,
capable aud strong enough to make
Michigan a power in the United States
Senate. He finds the best citizens dis.
gusted with the undoubted unlawful
use of money by MIR. Newberry and
their refusal TO be herded and voted by
a Detroit millionaire who knows little
Of the state ou side of Detroit and
whose interest would be too limited to
make him satisfactory to the state at
large. He finds the laboring men know
Osborn as friend in every place and
case where he has been able to shape
helpful legislature in their behalf. He
finds large percentage of the quiet
voters of the state are for Osborn for
senator, including the large percentage
Of those opposed to the liquor traffic.

From the Greenville Independent: If
there is hall of fame where "Man
on the Job" is to have his name carv-
ed deep in the memories of patriotic
and appreciative citizens, Joseph w.
Fordney, member of congress from
this, the Eighth congressional dis
trict, will surely receive well merited
recognition and final reward.
Congressman Fordney is in Wash
ington, where he has been obliged to
stay so continuously that, with the ex-
ception of an occasional visit to his
Saginaw home for a few days, he
looses touch with what is going on in
his congressional district, except what
news he gets from the newspapers and
from personal letters. In a footnote
to constituent he was aiding he re-
Gently wrote: 81 don't know what is
going on in the primaries at home, and
wish you would write and tell me.
am unable to leave here to take any
part in the primaries because of the
preparation by the committee on ways
and means Of the house of the new
revenue bill" There's the "man on
the job" Can't get away from his
duties long enough to protect his own
interests at home. A friend wrote
him: at isn't necessary to come to
Montcalm-stay on the job"
From what we hear about the coun-
ty we don't believe it is necessary for
Mr.. Fordney to come home to look f.
ter his political fences. AS matter
of justice all United States senators
and members of congress who have

during which time he served as Pros
ecuting Attorney for four years and
had the management of the County's
defense to the Court House Loan
cases. About four years ago he retir-
ed from the practice Of law and ac-
cepted position as Assistant Cashier
of The Shiawassee County Bank with
which institution he is still identified.
He is at present President of the Shia-
wassee County Bankers club and also
secretary and treasurer of group No.
z of the Michigan Bankers Associa-
tion, comprising Clinton, Shiawassee,
Genesee, Eaton, Ingham and Living
ston counties.
His executive ability was recognized
by the Bankers of the County and the
Government when he was made chair
man of the county organization in
the Third Liberty Loan campaign in
which campaign Shiawassee County
went over the top.
He is an able public speaker and
hasalways been found ready to aid in
the various patriotic drives, having
been called upon to speak in nearly
every town in the county, and in some,
several times.
Mr.. Hicks was chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee for Shiawassee
county in the State wide prohibition
campaign two years ago, which posi-
tion he still holds.
He is in every way self-madc man,
in the prime of life, being IA years Of
age and his business training, expert
ence and education certainly renders
him an ideal representative of the elec-
tors Of this senatorial district.
