OLARJS,   MI0HI0AN,  FBIBAY. MORNINO*, NOVMBEB 6, 1908.
Ne* Series   Vol.i'6, No. 51
Clare and Isabella Counties Give Republican Candidates
r      Big Majorities.
Through an error discovered only at the time of going to press the vote
ot seven townships is omitted, the totals as given being for all townships.
The corrected table Will appeal next week. '
The feature of Tuesday's election
is tha magnificent run made by Gov.
Fred M. Warner, winning by 9,000
according to semi official figures obtained ftoa county clerks yesterday,
in the face of the bitterest opposition
from railroads, lobbyists, millionaire
Hill and various and sundry political
bosses, not to mention the effort of
the entire democrat campaign. The
cities went against him hard but the
rural; 4ietric'ts, as in the primary,
came alobg with votes enough to
elect him-
The republican victory is equally
as decisive as .Roosevelt's victory in
1904, Iii the east especially the vote
for Taft is heavier than four years
ago, even New York city swinging in
for Taft, AU doubtful states but Colorado are republican. Bryan was
supported by a solid south gave only
perhaps Missouri. The popular plurality for Taft will probably equal
that of Roosevelt's in 1904.
, The republican majority in the national house of representatives is
republican by 69.
In the next Michigan legislature
there will be only 2 democrats.
Saginaw and Detroit elect republican mayors.
Democrats elect governor in
Indiana, Colorado, Montana and reelect Johnson in republican Minnesota.
Geo. J. Cummins plurality for representative for Olare district is about
1,400, of which 643 is from Gladwin
county.
Eugene Foster's plurality for senator 28th district is about 6,000 with
dl6 in Gladwin county.
F. H, Dodds rolls up about 15,000
majority for congressman, Eleventh
district,
N. O. Ward is elected senator 25th
district by 4300.

The vote in Clare eounty is somewhat smaller than four years ago
When RoOBevelt received 1454 and
Parker.517 but there is probably an
increase of prohibition and socialist
vote bringing the total close to that
of 1904. The contest centered in
sheriff, prosecutor «nd governor.
Four years ago Rosevelt led the
county with 937 majority. This year
Morrissey leads with 870. The nonappearance of an alleged candidate to
"run ott slips'" simplified the sheriff
contest and L. W. Sunday easily won-
Mr. Lacy's vigorou"s campaign of personal letters in the last days before
election^ caused Prosecutor Quinn's
friends much uneasiness, but unfortunately for Mr. Lacy the two kinds
of statements, not issued in many
cases to the same individuals, was
used with telling effect against his alleged eleventh hour conversion to
law and order. His present announced stand is the correct one and he
certainly .Will be on safe ground for
the future to prove himself standing
thereon. Let it be hoped that out of
the campaign the need of law enforcement will be recognized to the
extent that the new administration
to be inaugurated January 1 will begin at once to wipe out any and all
open violation of law, as for example
slot machines, without waiting for
complaints from individual citizens.
Warner's plurality of 343. in the
county is a splendid showing.' Tbe
fttnny part of it is that the north part
of Jh© county, where Aldrich's newspaper had a lot to say against Warner before' the primary and never
mentioned him after he became the
regular nominee of his party, did just
as well for Warner as did the rest of
the county.
ISABELLA COUNTTf.
The vote was a heavy one, there
being in reality one contest, the gov-
©jrfiorship, and so well was the opposition organized, that With a republican majority of 1,800 Warner got an
adverse vote of *23, and this in the
face of the fact thatr the north tier of
townships gave him a plurality of 135,
apolitical poimtEbrs.
Frank Morrissey again leads the-
.X Glare county procession with 870 raa-
"^'fority.
A. J. Lacy and A. E. Maynard were
tiie campaign orators at the democrat
•Jally at Winterfleld last Thursday,
The way Vernon rolled up 101
straight republican votes early drove
hope out of north Isabella democrats.
No less than 13 ,in Olare second
ward voted more or less ''prohibition" Tuesday. They nearly all split
on governor but only one voted for
Warner.
Mart Menery certainly came to his
own this time* Isabella's north tier
of townships rolled up a big majority
for him, his own town, Wise, alone
giving him 165 plurality.
The Clare county campaign was
wound up at Temple Saturday night
with John Quinn, J. F". Bowler, G, J.
Cummins and A. H. Aldrich supplying the flood of oratory.
The outlook at city democrat headquarters in A. J. Laoy's office looked
rosy indeed Tuesday evening as the
cities rolled In their pluralities and
thevision of "salt inspector" lasted
at least over night.
Clare has a lot of campaign orators
in embryo. The followingmade their
first political speeches during tbe
campaign that closed Monday: A.E.
Maynard, J. E. Bowler, O. A. Reading, P. A. Bennett. Still Q'thers are
said to have ambitions that threaten
to materialize four years hence.
Several Olare republicans in their
eagerness to vote for a democrat
friend or two forgot to pnt a cross at
the head of the republican oolumn
and virtually lost their vote. One
man wrote "Taft" across his ballot,
several others drew lines pr a long
cross through the series of squares,—
for all of which of course ballots
should be thrown outas being "marked."
One of tbe "ugly" incidents of the
Isabella campaign was a letter circulated in the county and signed,
"Republicans who have the good of
their party at heart," urging republicans to vote against Warner. The
letters were postmarked "Mt. Pleasant". Republicans, however, insist
that these anonymous letters came
not from republican sources, but are
in line with utterances in an Isabella
county sheet last.
The meeting at the opera house
last Friday evening was the big
gathering of the campaign in Olare
county. Clare and Farwell bands
and some "red fire" enlivened the
crowd before going to the opera
house. The crowded house was attentive for the hour and half of Congressman Diekema's speech and he
was at his best. • Chairman Reading
of tbe republican county committee
was in charge. Felicitating republicans generally on the outlook he introduced D. E. Alward as chairman
of the evening. In a short address
just off the firing line he prophesied
the republican Victory now a matter
of history. Mr. Diekema's friendship
for Mr. Alward gave Clare the privilege of listening to the masterly address from one of our best orators.
Democrats' favorite theme in Olare
Tuesday was how hard shell republicans are for party. The facts, however, hurl this charge back hard at
Olare democrats. For example on
Tuesday only 29 democrats split in
second ward as against 92 republicans. The straights were 39 democrat and 38 republican. Lacy, democrat, ran 162 ahead of his ticket in
the city while Goodman (republican)
ran only 38 ahead of his ticket. Four
yearB ago when Lacy and Benner
Were on the democrat ticket and
Dorsey (all Olare men) on the republican ticket the "hard shell" charge
was percisely the same. That is m
each case well on to 100 republicans
voted for the home man on the democrat ticket while only about 20 democrats voted for the home man on the
republican ticket. The campaign
contention of Mr. Lacy, defeated
four times for prosecutor,
Was that Harrison always stands by
her man while Olare never does.
This appeal to prejudice this-year,
however, is unwarranted in his own
case. Less than 15 Harrison democrats voted for Mr. Quinn while
nearly " 80 Clare republicans voted
for Lacy. Let there be no more of
this sectional appeal to prejudice.

NOVEL ENTEeiAMEHT.
An Enjoyable Program w!th Elec-
rion Returns Given at Opera
House Tuesday Night.
Arrangements were made by the
Guild to work with Manager Doherty
of the opera honse and sandwitch in
9. miseellanebns program with election returns^ It was a great success,
and at the nominal admittance fee of
10 and 15 cehts, netted the ladies S47.
So well pleased were they with their
efforts that they have already engag-1
ed the opera house for a similar entertainment when Taft shall be elected to succeed himself in 1912. Kirk-
bride's orchestra rendered the music
and accompanied several numbers,
amdng them being "King around the
"Rosy" by 18 young ladies and gentlemen.   They were recalled.
Many were the compliments heard
of the high school sextet in charge
of Miss Emmagene Prafford of the
department of music and drawing.
Even though in charge of the work
so short a time, the results obtained
are most remarkable.
Both the ladies' quartet, ^Misses
Arnold, Henderson, Crane and Traf-
ford, and tbe male quartet, Messrs.
Oudney,  Elden,    Welch,   Feighner,
were re-called. .
A vocal solo by Mrs. G. B. Wells
was exceptionally pleasing and of
course she was re-oalled.
The solos, duets, both instrumental
and vocal, character sketches and
the various numbers on the long program were well received, and but for
election returns we. would give individual mention of all. The program
was concluded by a fine character
farce, Fred Thompson, Kenneth
Hagel, Atherton Rogers, Mrs. Fred
Thompson and Miss Florence Wing
comprising the cast, which was well
received.
