The temperature was moderate
during the first part of the week, but
very warm, sultry weather prevailed
during the last half. Rains occurred
throughout the state on Thursday
and Friday and they were moderate

toes. meadows, pastures, root crops
and truck were greatly benefited.
Rains helped greatly also in soften

for fall seeding could proceed. In
many sections it was difficult or I'M

ply, written to State Highway Com
missioner Frank Rogers in which
the Alma executive has made some
interesting observations in regard to
roads in Michigan and nearby states,
in which Mayor Murphy has spent
considerable time this summer.
The letter in part follows:

Ia, and the year before Ohio, Ken
lucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania
and New York, | just felt it my duty

things that go to make touring

them all pushed off the map. All the
other states have got one, two or
three good trunk lines, but all the
rest Of their roads are almost impas-
sable. I Indiana's roads are narrow
right angle dangerous corners and
poor markings. Wisconsin is fol-
lowing our road signs. Minnesota is
very poorly marked and hard to fol
low. Even New York with her
boasted roads when you get of
those few big trunk lines, are rotten
Without boasting | think we hav,
it all over them. There are very few
parts Of our state that can't be
reached by very good roads and oui
corners on trunk lines are fine

The Congressional
Candidates Speak

Wednesday evening Francis o.
Lindquist of Greenville and William
NJ Smith Of st. Johns, two of the
congressional candidates i'm the eighth
district, invaded Alma for second
time during the campaign and again
attempted to take by storm the voters
front line trenches here in appeals
for n good vote on Tuesday next. Both
men spoke from the vaudeville plat
form on Woodwork avenue. Newell
Smith of ST. Louis, candidate for the
Republican nomination for state sem
ator, was also speaker.
Lindquist spoke to the crowd that
gathered for the vaudeville show at
500 o'clock. With a set speech, this
"Man from Michigan" appeared be-
fore the crowd and told the people
how he was fighting their battle for
pure fabrics and how he proposed TO
remedy the present evil in this re-
spect. He did not touch on the large
issues of the day in his short set ar
gument.
The vaudeville entertainment Of
three acts followed the Greenville
man, and proved highly pleasing to
the big audience that had gathered
for the event.
Then William NJ. Smith, the ST..
Johns candidate, took to the platform.
He stated at the outset that prohi-
bition was thing Of the past-not an
argument, as Michigan and the Unit
ed States had gone dry by constitu-
tional amendment. He spoke Of the
savings that the public utilities COM
mission Of which he is chairman had
made possible to the people of Mich
igan. He then turned his attention
TO the ladies urging them to vote, and
then pointed out that if the five coun-
ties outside Of Saginaw would stand
behind him he would win the nomina-
ton. In closing he said he was in
favor Of a further restriction of inn
migration, which would keep the bad
European at home.
Newell Smith gave a short talk and
told the audience Of some of the
things that he hoped to do if nom
mated and elected as state senator.
He is sometimes known as Good
Roads" Smith, having done much to
promote good roads in this state by
reason of having been the author of
the present automobile license law
which provides several million dol
lars year for road purposes in the
state.
