Light Vote Cast and Many
.Contests Close.
L1NDQUISTN0HIIHATED
For  Congress to  the Surprise
Of Everybody. .
Apparently the weather was too
fine on Tuesday for farmers to leave
their farm work, or else the voters
seemed indifferent as to results. At
any rate the vote seems to have been
very light everywhere. If we are
• rightly informed, less than 40 per-,
cent'of the of the vote was polled in
thiscountv. For many offices, both
state and local, there was no contest
and concerning these nothing need
be said. Musselman wins the nomination for governor by about 6000
majority. In this congressional district Francis O. Lindquist wins by a
plurality of some 2500. He buried
the district knee deep in "pure
fabric" "literature and the result is
apparent. In this (the 28th) senatorial district, we cannot learn the
result before going to press. Official returns from all the preoints in
this county save Freeman, Hamilton,
and Winterfield .give Dr. Kelley a
plurality of 257. Mr. Fleishauer of
course wins in Osceola and doubtless
Mr. MacGillis carries most of the
eastern counties; but the net result
we cannot give.'
Leaving due the above townships,
tbe canadates for probate judge have
the following vote: Cummins, 183,
Gray, 165; Bowe 151; Browne 109;
Alley 90; McKenna 90; Wait 58.
Hence Mr, Cummins seems to be the
nominee.
With unofficial seports from Hamilton and Winterfield, and leaving
out only Freeman, Mr. Updegraff has
416 votes for sheriff and Mr. Davis
417, so the contest is seen-to be very
close.
In the 25th senatorial district King
seems to have defeated Dusenbury.
In Isabella county Gray wins for representative by a small majority and
Graham for probate judge by a -good
plurality. Burwash is nominated for
. prosecutor aud Haskius >for drain
commissioner.
This oity gave Musselman 28 majority, Alward 130, Kelley 39  (pin.)
.Cummins 36 (pic.) Updegraff 14.
Jt. The Progressive and Socialist vote
in the county was very light.
John    Whiting. .
Votes For Women.
. Women vote in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington and
California.   Why not in Michigan?
"It does not take any mother from
the home duties to spend ten minutes in going to the polls, eastingher
ballot, and returning, but during
those ten minutes she weilds a power
which is doing more to protect her
home and all ether homes than any
otber power orinfluence in Colorado."
—Judge Ben B. Lindsey.
"As John Stuart Mill said: 'Under
whatever conditions and within whatever limits.men are admitted to the
suffrage, there is not a shadow of
justification for not admitting women
under the same.' Why, then, is the
equal suffrage amendment opposed?
Because Special Privilege and Special Interest fear the addition to the
electorate of a great body of voters
who for the-most part would be governed by considerations of righteousness and pure patriotism. Because
all the vicious and wicke.d elements
of society fear to place the ballot in
hands that would ever cast it in obedience to conscience." —Editorial. Los
Angeles Tribune. '   .
John Whiting, a Civil War veteran
died at his home in. Clare, Mich.,

of over two years. In the army he
served his country three years; He
leaves a widow and three daughters
to mourn their loss, all of whom
reside in and near Clare. ' The
daughters are: Mrs. Frank "Emery,
Mrs. Ben Gardner, and Mrs. Frank
Dedefoe. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Knight at the
Baptist church, Wednesday at 2:00
P. M.   Interment in Cherry Grove.

Mr. And Mrs. L. E. Davy Given
Surprise Party.
As long as* wedding anniversaries
continue to come with their accustomed regularity, the community
will doubtless be blessed with that
provokingly happy occasion, the surprise party. Mr. and Mrs. t. E. Davy
are the last to succumb. Not that
they' had forgotten the wedding anniversary  they have at least seven reasons for remembering that.
But they failed to keep in mind the
ubiquitous Flinch Olub of wbich they
are members. So last Wednesday
evening that organization moved in
solid rank to their home on McEwan
street. A delightful evening was
spent at their favorite game, and refreshments were served at an appropriate hour.
A
Again In Limelight.
Word comes from the Pacific coast'
that Rex DeVogt, who was no mean
ball player when he was romping
around the home lot in Clare not so
many summers since, has been sold
to.the Boston National League. He
has lately been a member of the
Spokane Olub in the Northwestern
League, where he was doing some
stunts as Catcher besides having
a batting average close to 300. We
recollect that he was sold to one of
the major league clubs a couple of
seasons ago, but waa let out again to
get a little more experience. The
bgys expect to see Rex hold his own
with the players from the cultured
2iill-top.

GRASSHOPPERS
Doing Much Damage in Western
Michigan. ,'
Thompsonville, Mich.; Aug. 24.—
Grasshoppers have done thousands
of dollars' worth of damage in this
vicinity during the past few weeks
and certain crops are still threatened
by the pests, wbich have been in
evidence this year in greater numbers
than ever before. A number of farmers, have had huge fields of beans
completely ruined by the insects and
how a determined fight is being
waged against them.
While some farmers are putting
their faith in poison preparations,
the more progressive men are using
traps in their extermination of the
grasshoppers. The most popular
trap is a curious affair made* of canvas or netting stretched over a frame
work of Wood. This is drawn by
horses over tbe fields, The"insects
start to fly as the framework brushes
the beans or other crops, but they fly
into a trap. As many as a bushel
and a half of grasshoppers are captured in tbis way in a few hours.

INTERESTING {EXHIBIT
Of N. E. Development Bureau
Monday Evening.
Only quite a limited number were
in attendance at the Congregational
church on Monday evening to learn
what the Northeastern Michigan Development Bureau has been attempting in its advertising campaign this
summer. It ia to be regretted that
more were not present, especially
farmers. The matter was in charge
of S. H. Spencer of Alcona Co., a
pioneer resident of that section, -who
explained what they had attempted
to do. Commencing at Toledo, Ohio,
the exhibit had been carried across
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa,
states wbere land Bells from $100 to
$225 per acre and frequently rents
for $9 per acre. Tbe plan was to advertise in advance, then rent a hall
aud remain in the town from two
days to a week. There were grains,
grasses, etc., sufficient to cover some
25o feet of surface and each evening
the stereopticon views would be given with accompanying lecture and
explanations. Tbe object of the
campaign here is to inform the people
concerning this western trip and the
advantages accruing to each county
in the district in having its products
on display with the Bureau and photographs of buildings, crops, factories, and anything else of interest.
Mr. Spencor gave a brief talk preparatory to exhibiting the views, dis-
cribing conditions in otber states
Iowa he states is in tbe midst of a
protracted drouth, quite a contrast
to Michigan. While this is one of
the banner corn states, the outlook
for a crop there this season ia dark,
not nearly so good as here. There is
not fruit enough in Illinois to supply
one county. On the whole he con
eludes that Michigan farmers have
very much to be thankful for and are
much better off than those of the
states he traversed.
The slides, about 150 in number,
gave a great variety of views in different parts of the district, some in
this county. Of course some of these
scenes are a thing of the paat, the
forests of towering pines, the lumber
camps and huge loads of pine logs;
but these are desirable to illustrate
the changes that have taken place..,
The Bureau will as usual put up an
exhibit at the State Fair Detroit, also
the Northeastern Mich. Fair at Bay
Oity Sept. 2-5. For these exhibits it
seeks contributions -from any individual. These wilLbe marked with
the name and residence of the contributor. Any in this county can .deliver Bame to John Jackson of. this
city who will see to it that they. are
sent to the Bureau.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank our friends and
neighbors for their kindness and
spmpathy shown us in our sad bereavement.
Mrs^ E. Whiting and Family.
Meet me at Duncan's Hall Saturday
night, Aug. 3lst, and we will all

FINE ENTERTAINMENT
To Be Given.At Baptist Churcix
Sept. 4th. "
It has been most forcibly brought
to the attention of everybody tbat;
China in the last few years has beam
undergoing a wonderful transform—
a tion. Apparently asleep for eemOmr—
ies and seemingly incapable of learn—
ing anything from other nations, it has-
suddenly awakned out of .that long:
sleep. Anything relating to> 't&m>
wonderful change .should be inSerea*-
ing, especially if it come from* am
eye witness. On the evening of' Sepi~
4th, Rev. O. "E. Parsons, who> we>
understard was a former laeffiecutr,
here, will deliver an illustrated* Use—
ture, "China in Evolution,"* at tbea.
Baptist church here. The price fcxr
adults is only 15c and for cbilttreaXGe:
and the church should certainly be»
filled. Mr. Parsons was in China idx:
years.as general missionary and ~basi
traveled considerably in otber corns—
tries. Tbe stereopticon viewa azfe
directly from the Chinese revetfatwan-
and portray the scenes amid whicte
tbe new republic is arising.
Oa tbe next evening the entertainment will be repeated at the Sftoi-
dan Baptist church. Tbe peoples
there should take notice.

An Acknowledgement
I am proud and happy and profoundly grateful for the splendid Hip-
port which the home folks gave
My reports last week convinced
that I could not win, so the primary
returns brought me no surprise- ear
disappointment. The result of the>
primary-is an emphatic expression
of the will of the republicans of \ht>
llth district in favor of Mr. lindquist and I will cheerfully and asm—
estly support him for election.
It is a matter of great satisfi&etioia
to me that the friends who so loyally
stood by me, made their carapa**gi&>
for me without resort to disparagement of either of my opponentsv. We
made cbe best fight we could* Buft wes
lost and we are now for tbe winner.
