Points to Republican Victory
Not Only in County
But jn State Also.

From the viewpoint of the Gratiot
County Republican Committee, after a
canvass of the county, it would seem
that the entire Republican ticket will
be elected, as we'll as the State, Con-
gressional, and Senatorial ticket.
The Republicans will return Hon.
Charles Z. Townsend to the United
States Senate, man who is opposed to
the League of Nations; who is leader
in the Senate; who will maintain a COM
handing position as chairman on Post
offices, post roads, and who is ranking
member Of the committee on interstate
commerce; a man who will vote for the
things that the Republicans of Michigan
want. Also be it remembered. that
Senator Townsend is the organizer of
the deep waterways project and the
pioneer in national legislation in the
construction of roads.
Should the votes of Michigan Repub-
leans send Mr. Ferris to the Senate,
they would be sending a man who fav-
ors the League of Nations; a man who
would be Numerically opposed to the
things that the Republicans of this state
want; man who will join the southern
democratic senators against the MAORI
ty and who will try to obstruct the mea-
sures proposed by President Harding
and advocated by the Republican party;
man who would be at the tail of COM
mittee assignments, and who could not
hope, at his age in life, to ever reach the
position of influence now held by Sena-
tor Townsend.
In the precincts canvassed we find
the Republicans are aggressive and pro-
gressive and will stand unqualfedly for
Republican policies and at this coming
November election will vote to carry
them out.
