343 Electoral Votes out of 476
—A   Solid    North   with
Maryland and Missouri
for Roosevelt.
00 PLURALITY FOR WARNER,
NOT A DEMOCRAT IN THE LEGISLATURE,
Clare ahd Isabella Elect Entire Republican
Ticket and Roll up their Biggest
Majorities.
The sweeping republican victory
Tuesday, carrying every northern state
and also Missouri and Maryland, 343
electoral votes out of 476, marks a precedent in American politics. Never
has the national ticket of any party
receiced so hearty and unqualified an
endorsement at the ballot box and
never before have the policies and
principles of republicans achieved so
grand a triumph. The outcome of
the election proves conclusively, that
the nation as a whole has a deep and
abiding trust in the wisdom and forethought of President Boosevelt and
the predictions of success issued from
republican headquarters were based
upon a thorough comprehension of
popular sentiment. Roosevelt's plurality is over 1,500,000 votes.
■ Returns thus far received indicate
202 republican congressmen to 138
democratic. Of the forty-five still to
be heard from thirty-two are now represented by republicans and thirteen
by democrats.
. Incomplete returns indicate . that
Warner is elected by a plurality of
65,000 and Michigan .falls to electa
single democratic congressman, state
senator or representative. Roosevelt's
plurality, 150,000, in Michigan is due
to his own party vote and to the votes
of many thousands of democrats who
have no faith in the present national
democratic organization as compared
with the republican organization and
Its policy. Ferris carried only Wayne
Kent and one or two other counties,
the rural population .giving Warner
his big plurality.
Congressman Dtrragh' is re-elected
by a plurality of over 14,000 carrying
every precinct in the district.
SENATOR   -DOmSKTY.
At least one man in Olare feels
proud over the election. Senator
Doherty was so gratified at the result
that he sent Senator Scrjpps a telegram thanking him for free advertising throughout the 28th district, helping Doherty roll up his splendid ipa-
jority, carrying every county in the
district with increased majorities.
Senator Scripps without using any
"Bell Cow" adjectives, "We always
support good men." Mr Doherty carries his own ward, "-Glare . and Glare
county with greatly increased pluralities, a number of democrats bright at
home voting for him evidently because
they thought the Scripts' newspaper
persecution entirely overdone Four
years ago his plurality was 4,392; two
years auo, 3,200: now it is 5,500.
REPRESENTATIVE KELLEY.
Dr. L. L. Kelley of Farwell is elected representatiee for the Olare district by a plurality of over .1,600. He
carried his own township by 104, Olare
county by over 800. G-ladwin county by
800 and broke even in Roscommon, the
home of Mr, Terney, his opponent.   •
GLARE COUNTY.
Clare county never rolled up'such
republican majorities as at the present election. Every precinct gives a
vote of confidence in Roosevelt. Many
democrats, however, who are as good
democrats as,ever, voted for Roosevelt and the present vote cannot be
regarded as indicating the relative
vote of the two parties in the county.
In fact the vote, generally speeking,
indicates that the relation of the two
great parties in the county has not
changed much in the last two years.
Some of the county leaders assert that
republican majorities are in part due
to the blunder of democratic management in sending out instructions how
to vote lor Roosevelt and, Ferris.
They assert that in many cases democrats voted for Roosevelt and then
did not cross over and vote the democratic state and county tickets as in
structed but in many cases only voted
for one pr two of their favorites in
the democratic column, all of which
was a great advantage to republican
candidates. Of course the instruct--
ions were intended for republicans but
very few paid any heed thereto. For
example in the flrst ward of Olare Only
two republicans split their ticket for
the evident purpose of voting, for Ferris and in the third ward similarly
there were only two, but there were
scores of republicans who split their
ticket to vote for local men, not Fer
ris, on the democratic ticket. In fact
Olare, supposed to be very- strong for
Mr. Ferris, failed toshow by her votes
any particular interest in electing Mr.
Ferris.
The detailed vote for Clare county
appears on page eight. From it it is
seen that T. S Dorsey is re-elected
county treasurer by a plurality of 920,
the largest ever given a Clare GOunty
candidate while County Clerk and
Register Morrissey is a close second
with a plurality of 882. *
THE ELECTION IN CLARE.
Republicans are jubiknt as they expected to be swamped. Returns over
the county came in very slowly Tuesday evening. Some townships did not
complete then* count till long after
midnight. Manager Goodman supplied excellent service to those who
gathered at the opera house. Whitney Bros, quartet rendered some of
the finest music heard in Clare for
years and Kirkbride's orchestra added
to the pleasure of the occasion. Bulletins were read from both 'phones
and the Associated" Press dispatches
were also given, but as soon as the
city vote was known everybody recognized thr j as an index of an almost
unprecedented republican landslide.
Accordingly republicans took on a
cheerful air and many a prominent
democrat chose a night's good sleep
rather than to spend the late hours
hearing of republican success
The local" men, T. S. Dorsey for
county tresurer and Dr. J. A. Reeder
for coroner, on the republicans ticket
and G-. A. Benner for judge of probate,
Ai J. Lacy for pros, att'y,* and O. W.
Perry for circuit court commissioner,
on the democratic, each received not
a little local support outside of party
lines.
ISABELLA COUNTY.
Isabella republican majorities are
larger than ever before. Roosevelt's
.plurality is 1600^ Warner's 800, Dar-
ragh's 1500, H. F. Kane receives a plurality of 1000 for state senator for tlie
25th district, the ''Sinatof" letters, to
the cOntray notwithstanding. O. H.
Adams is elected representative by a
plurality of 1500.   The entire county
ticket is elected with majorities ranging from 12)0 to 1900, cast for O. H.
Bailey for sheriff. The other officers
are: Judge of Probate, John Maxwell;
clerk, A. C. Rowlader; register, W.
EL Hovey; Pros. Att'y, F. H. Dusenbury; C. O. Comr's A, A. Loveland,
R. D. Mathews; coroners, Sam May,
Ruben Wellman; surveyor, G-. H.
Denslow.
VERNON.
The vote in Vernon surprised even
the most ardent republican. Roosevelt 188. Parker 110; Warner 152, Ferris 118: Darragh 180, Bahlke 87; "Sin-
ator" Kane 172, Nisbett 95; Adams
175, Craft 93 On the county ticket
for judge of probate Maxwell's majority was 93, Sheriff Bailey's 93, Clerk
Rowlader's 91, Register Hoovey's 80,
Prosecutor Dusenbury's 91, Treasurer
Dersnah's 98.
POLITICAL POINTS.
The Ferris vote is not what was expected, for when the democrats, who
of course voted for Ferris, and the
Ferris students and their friends, of
whom the dairies said so much, are
counted as Ferris votes, there are but
few votes left that could have been
cast for Mr. Ferris by republicans,
The effort to cast reflection on Mr.
Warner because Roosevelt's plurality
is so much greater than -his js mani^
festly unfair. The fact is tens of
thousands of Michigan democrats voted for Roosevelt rather than lor Parker.  .
Democratic Mayors May bury of Detroit and Baum of Saginaw are also
swept .away in the republican tidal
wave, being succeeded respectively by
Codd and Lee.
Three of the false-issues of the campaign just closed that defeated the
democrats are;
1. That the democrats enacted the
Australian bailul.
?. Tliiit che tax-.'S of Michigan are
88,000 000.
3 That a sweeping radical "Primary Reform" law, giving the cities
the balance of power, was the imperative will of the people.
NEW LOCATION SECURED.

The Wolsey  Knitting Mills Developing Almost Unnoticed
by Many People.
Five years ago Wm. Wolsey and son,
David, without any ostentation began the installing of knitting machines in their building on McEwan
street and since that tim'e have kept
increasing the output to-meet the demands for the Wolsey knitted product uni il today the institution gives
employment to over twenty persons.
Now other plans that evidently
mean a still farther gradual development of this industry are in progress
of being carried out. The old '"Gospel" hall on north McEwan street has
been purchased (is also the forty feet
to the north of it, giving a frontage of
about seventv feet. A cement block
engine house is in course of erection
and during the winter the knitting
factory machin ry will be located in
the building now on the Site. Next
Spring a brick or cement warehouse
will be erected on the north part of
the site ind every indication points to
a gradual but substantial increase of
business
Mr. Wolsey has asked lor no benefits
at the hands of the city in return for
his labor employing institution but he
has gone steadily onward with good
conservative business judgement de-.
veloping a substantial industry.
Clare wo;uld'gladly welcome other similar labor-employing institutions.
The groom wore conventional black,
and was attended by Clyde Hornung
as best mat*. After . the ceremony a
dainty luncheon was served. The
home decorations were of smilax, carnations and ferns The high esteem "
in which both young people are held

which they received.
Friday evening about twenty of her
young lady friends surprised' her with
a granite shower. ''

inent clerk in A. S Rhoades' store and
