AWAY FROM THE
STEREOTYPED STUFF

It's refreshing TO read what George
Newet has TO say In his editorial col
umns even though he differs from one
because one knows it's Newett that's
talking, not some paid propaganda
writer In the last issue OF Iron
Ore MIR. Newett asks for fair con
sideration OF Major Emery's effort
10 be u. s. Senator from this state in
place OF Charles r. Townsend. MIR.
Newett asks that both Emery and
Townsend be taken on their own mer-
its. lie decries the attempt to
switch Townsend over onto the New
berry pedistal and also pronounces q
gainst the inspired stun that Is being
sent out by the Townsend men pro-
phesying that Emery will have no
show because all the leaders" are
Is as follows:
we are reading the prognostica-
tions concerning the chances Major
Emery has against Charlie Townsend
for u. s. Senator from Michigan. II
Is stated that the administration forces
are behind Mr. Townsend whatever
that means. II is further pointed out
that the fight will be one for and a.
gainst Senator Newebrry, which is
rather deplorable. as already there has
been too much fightlng along this line
Senator Townsend Is stated 10 have
the backing OF the republican leaders
in his state. and because OF this will
be a hard man to beat
Recall when Mr.. Townsend wos
travelling about the state asking the
attention OF the voters To aid him in
his ambition 10 be SENATOR The
party's pillars were not under him
az that time 70 any appreciable eX
tent II was Julius Caesar Burroughs
who was the party's candidate in that
campaign. as lie had been IN many
previous one Mr. Townsend receiy-
ed scant attention IN his visit through
out the'state from the leaders OF his
party, but when tile day for the yot
ing arrived Townsend voters we're
numerous and the counting Of the bal
lot found him elected by a comfortable
majority
"You cannot always tell a.
bout how the people VIII vote. Recall
that Tom Conlin of crystal Fails, Is
saying in his newspaper That things
are apt to happen 60 those in high
places lie may be right This Is
peculiar period when Il isn't SO easy
analyzing the political preferences OF
the voters
Major Emery comes before the peo
pie with mighty fine record tie Is
clean. and capable. and he received his
title from services actually rendered
his state and country in the late war
There are many eN-soldiers who have
kindly feeling for the major In
nearly every family OF the state there
Is some young fellow who took a part |
in the elimination OF the Kaiser. and
quite naturally he inclines To those
who took part In that campaign SO,
as We figure IL. there's a pretty strong
booster In nearly every home for the

Is pretty apt To be effected by the talk
or her boy and maybe dad is too. And
mother is voting. now, and sometimes /
you can't tell just how the outcome
OF things political are going To be. not
until the vote Is counted
And. as we have said, Il viii prob
ably be as we'll not TO make Newberry
the issue. Let us get down 10 bust
ness. Newberry isn't running this
trip. But just saying Major Emery
hasn't chance. doesn't prevent his
having one. As We have said. they
talked just that way about Charlie
Townsend the year he was elected
And don't forget that the American
soldier who stands so we'll with HIS
fellows as does Major Emery u apt
