POLITICAL POINfERS.
There was a spirited contest in the
1st war4 fusion caucus last Friday
"night. Ex-Mayor James L. Welch was
nominated for supervisor, receiving 21
votes on the formal ballot, to 19 for
Dr. M. D. Davis. Harry P. Hubel and
James Bolen were nominated for al-
•dermen and Thomas Smith for constable.
* jr.
Gurdon T. Converse deserves well of
"2nd ward voters and he is making an
active campaign for election as supervisor. Mr. Converse is a Union veteran, a straightforward, honest man,
who has served his ward and tbe city
with commendable ability on the com-
"mon council for the past two years.and
his election to the office of supervisor
will  be  a   well-merited   promotion.
Vote for him.
* *
it
The more the voters look into the
record of Rollin H. Jenney, the more
favorably does his candidacy for mayor
impress them. His every action when
on the common council was taken with
an eye single to the public good.    He
, was conscientious in striving to guard
tbe people's rights at all times and always did what he thought was right.
He is the man needed as mayor the
coming year to aid in reducing the city
taxes to the lowest possible figure and
*   in conducting the business of the city
on business principles.

Wonder why the prohibition organ
wouldn't even publish the names of
the candidates nominated on any ticket but its own?
■s- #

Vote for "Honest Ike" Harris for
<5ity treasure**". He has been weighed
in tbe balance and found not wanting.
He is an industrious mechanic who
has made his home among us, has
proved his fitness for the office named
r»v oi,.; year of faith4"'!!.service, and it
c 'jj -*;e said truly of mm, without disparaging the opposing candidates,that
he has one recommendation to public
favor not possessed by them. He was
a brave soldier in the war for the
Union, and his comrades speak of him
only in terms of praise.
*
The candidates for mayor and alder-
j^h men on the Republican ticket have
each pledged themselves to tlie strictest economy in the use of the people's
money the coming year. Tax payers,
remember this when you cast your
ballot.
#
The Republican municipal ticket is
one that grows stronger the more its
features are discussed and investigated. The candidates invite the closest
scrutiny into their records, confident
that the result of such an inspection
can not fail to strengthen them before
the people of this citv.
Out in Sheridan, Supervisor Hampton and Treasurer Frank A. Carncross
Slave clear sailing for re-election, no
nominations being made against them.
The Sheridan folks seem to know . a
-good thing when they see it.
Some bright politician who couldn't
tMnk of anything else to say against
ifeter Mortz, started the story that he
isn't a tax payer. The inference from
such, a charge as this is that a poor
man has no political rights.    There
/ are quite a number of voters in this
' h <sity who are not tax payers and we be-
^ lieve that almost all of them will vote
-conscientiously and as they think for
the best interests of the city and
themselves. But as to Mr. Mortz.
Who says he isn't a -tax payer?' Let
anyone who has doubts on tbe subject
do a little investigating and he will
find that Mr. Mortz contributes not a
small but a large portion of taxes each
year. Furthermore, he is one of the
most public spirited citizens of this
town. On every occasion when a celebration has been arranged, either on
Decoration day or the Fourth of July,
he has been tireless in his efforts to
make the celebration a complete success, spending freely both his time and
his money. He has been a large em-
player of labor in Clare and is ever
interested in promoting the material
<-> welfare of all our people. A vote for
Peter Mortz is a recognition of a faithful and worthy man.
Dr. L. L. Kelley for the  seventh
time is nominated hy Surrey township
Eepublicans for supervisor. Editor
Roys heads the prohibition ticket and
Mr. Campbell the"Union."
There are 44 candidates running for
office this spring.

Rollin H, Jenney is making a vigorous campaign. The more the people
think about it the more they like the
idea of having him for mayor. His
record on the common council was
clear as a bell. He was always on
guard. No alderman was more constant in attendance a nd no alderman
more earnest in the advocacy of measures calculated to benefit the people.
He is the kind of man we need in the
executive office the coming year. Vote
for Rollin H. Jenney.

In Vernon it is Lo Buraham on the
Republican ticket against O. B. Thayer on a fusion ticket. The fight is red
hot and getting hotter.

Levi Montney has a lead-pipe cinch
on the office of supervisor in Grant
township. Only one ticket is running
—the Republican—and Levi heads it.
George Leach is nominated for clerk,
Henry Grover for treasurer, F. Mc-
Crary for commissioner, George Dennis for school inspector, Elias Riegle
for member of board of review, Carl
Stoll and Orin Smith for justices, and
Ruel Fairbanks, Wm Jarchow, Willis
Lamb and John Larman for constables.   Good ticket.
The nomination of Clarence Van
Brunt for alderman by the 3d ward Republicans is a recognition of the hustling young men of the ward. He has
grown up from childhood here and
has shown himself to be a careful and
successful business man.

Only one ticket in the field in Redding township, and it is headed by a
capable and efficient man. Below are
the candidates:
Supervisor "William M. Temple, Clerk Eli
Eitter, Treasurer A.sa Hartsell, Higiiway Com'r
K. C. Coucli, Justice Frank Beugnot, School Inspector H. F. Saterlee, Board of Review C. H.
Jones, Constables Perry Wells, George Risberg-
er, Wm. McDunnell, Wm. O. Smith.

Charles H. Clark needs no introduction to the voters of Clare. He is a
faithful officer every time and his popularity proceeds from that fact aa well
as because of his many genial qualities. The voters of the se xmd ward
cannot do better than to elect him al
derman,

Every indication points to the election of the genial "Jim" Welch for supervisor in the first ward. He and his
friends have stood loyally by Dr Davis
for five years, and, although there was
some feeling worked up over the caucus last week, the sober second thought
is pulling the forces together again
and the doctor and his friends will
doubtless decide to turn in to aid in
the election of Mr. Welch. That
would be the generous thing to do,and
it would be doing only what ex-Mayor
Welch and his friends have done time
and again for the doctor.
HONORS FOR CLARE.
A BASTAMBLY BEEB.
Wffl. _-. SIMONDS, A CRIPPLE ASSAULTED
"NEAR FARWELL.
Robbed, of over $70 im Casli
William R. Simonds of Adair, St.
Clair county, a cripple who was selling
spectacles, was met on the road about
six miles south of Farwell on Wednesday forenoon of last week, knocked
down and robbed of about $70 in cash.
He lay insensible for severalhouis and
until found by some men passing.
He was taken to Mt. Pleasant where
he was confined to his bed from the
effect of the injuries received, A description of the two villians who assaulted him has been given and officers
are on the case. It was a damnable
deed and severe punishment should
be meeted out to the perpetrators of
the crime. Mr. Simonds has a wife and
family depending on him for support
and it is pitiful to hear" him say "my
babies needed the money so much."
He was in Clare Tuesday and Wednesday and still in a bad condition his
nervous system having received such
a shock.
If ever I try, some good clothes to buy,
True merits I'U carefully weigh.
A suit at Wilson's I'll get,
And they'll fit me, you bet,
Because they are built the right way.
DRESSMAKING"
Miss Ella Harris wishes to announce

A REPORT FROM WASHINGTON WHICH
IS GOOD IF TRUE.
The correspondent of the Detroit
Tribune wired his paper from Washington, Wednesday, the following:
"Dr. Avery, as a supporter of the McDowell combine, became entitled to a
personal appointment on the organization of fche house. The place put at
his disposal last December was cotone
which he eould utilize, and the fulfillment of the ante-organization pledge
has since been held iu abeyance. Recently an effort has been made to find
a position whieh could be made available for the doctor, and the effort
seems likely to prove successful. It is
said that D. E. Alward, secretary of
the republican state central committee, who is one of the doctor's constituents, will be selected in the event
that a desirable position is found. Mr.
Alward has also been mentioned in
connection with the secretaryship of
the national congressional committee,
but this being a presidential year, Senator McMillan does not think he can
bespared from work in Michigan."
Citizens of Clare will rejoice at any
good thing which may be in store for
ex-Mayor Alward. He seemed mueh
pleased when he read the Tribune dispatch, but did not vouchsafe any information in addition to. that contained in the telegram, except to say
that a trip to the national capital
might be very agreeable indeed.
NOTICE " OF     REGISTRATION.
ARBOR   BAY.
The suggestion of Commissionei E.
D. Palmer that Arbor Day (May 1st)
be made the occasion for beautifying
the school ground in every district in
the county is one that ought to meet
with approval everywhere. There is
danger, however, that unless special
effort is made in the city, the day
will not be observed to any great extent except in the country. The Smt-
•t*r*t_l wishes that there might be an
organized and general effort along the
line of tree planting this year. Let
everybody plant a tree. Plant it in
the street along the sidewalk, plant it
in the back yard, but plant one somewhere. If each one plants one, that
will be good; if many plant more than
one apiece, so much the better. Then
the school might do,a grand work and
atthe same time have a splendid time
of it, if everyone pupil would get a
tree of some kind and then arrange for
a celebration of Arbor Day, by setting
out a large grove on the school
grounds. Set the trees idose together
(for not all of them will survive), and
in a few years the grounds will be
beautiful with foliage and the pupils
will be proud in after years of the
work they did. This is thrown out as
a suggestion, in the hope that citizens
generally and the pupils and teachers
of our schools particularly, will interest themselves in the matter of setting
out trees and observing Arbor Day in
a fitting manner. What do you all
think of it ?
An Enjoyable Entertainment.
The entertainment at the M. E.
church was greatly enjoyed by a well-
filled house; Mr Collins was a whole
program in himself and his singing
and solos on the handsome pipe organ,
which the church nas purchased,
brought forth well merited applause.
It is a $700 organ; below is the program
which was rendered:

The relation between the stomach
and nerve system is so close that a
supposed stomach trouble is most common symptom of Nerve Disorder. In
such eases should doctor the nerves
and let the stomach alone, Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer gets a root cf the
trouble without fail. $1 at Mussell's
