RITY 100,000
State and Nation Endorse Republican Policies
59 Majority in National House.
OUR DEMOGBjSs"¥ LEGISLATURE
Republicans Sweep Clare County, but Isabella Democrats
Win Prosecutor and Register.
Tbe elect!* n Tuesday was much as
previously foieshadowded. Hughes for
governor in New York wins over
Hearst by from 50,000 to 100,000 but
bow emphatic whs Hearst's tura down
Is shown In that all the other demo
crats on tbe state ticket were elected
bat thelegislature is republican. The
national house ot representatives Is
still republican by the very substantial majority of about 60 Democrats
win in Oklahoma and regain Missouri
But in general the predicted great
democrat gains failed to materialize.
In Michigan the vote is only about
two-thirds of the normal but In spite
of that Gov. Warner rolls up 100,000
majority, which has been exceeded
only by former Gov. Rich. Democrats
get here and there a grain of comfort,
In Detroit Thompson defeats Codd
• for mayor and in Saginaw Baum succeeds. Lee. Monroe and Cass counties
give democrat majorities, Oalhoun,
Manistee, Monroe and Saginaw counties each contribute a democrat representative for the state legislature.
But over the state in general republicans roll up phenomanal majorities
for county, state, legislative, and congressional tickets, sending a solid
delegation of twelve republican congressman to Washington.
Congressman Darragh is elected with
a majority of about 10,000. .Representative Kelley's majority will reach
1400. Senators Cirton and Kane
will each have several thousand votes
to spare.
In Glare county the occasional democrat spot failed to show itself. In
fact every precinct including Clare
gave decided republican pluralities
and every republican candidate from
governor to corner was endorsed in
nearly every precinct in the county. Considering the light vote the
republican majority Is proportionately the highest and most general ever
given In the history of'the county.
The table given herewith tells the
story in detail. t The vote is 800 short
of two years ago.
The campaign in Isabella was as
fierce as in '96. "But the battle waged
around the county candidates, especially for'prosecutor, register and sheriff.
Prosecutor Dusenbury's defeat by O.
T. Russell was early admitted. A. L.
Young of Mb. Pleasantsurprised many
people by winning over Martin Menerey of Wise for register. The empty
sleeve, the rerord of a former competent official and the fact that Mr.
Menerey is not widely known coupled
with Mt. Pieasant's tremendous vote
for home men just defeated him by
sixteen But the defeat of Mr. Menerey apart from all this is due to republicans staying at home. Right
In his own township there were a
large number would have gone out to
vote for him If they for a moment
thought their votes were needed to
elect bim. A goodly number, at least
several tnirteens, there are now who
are sore at themselves for staying at
home. He is a quiet, genial man and
a competent official wherever placed.
General regret is felt In northern
townships because of his defeat.-
The vote in detail appears in the appended table.        ,
Election Echoes.
Gov. Warner's "Jersey" cows will
graze around democrat political graves
(ootin Ogemaw alone) tor the next
two years.
Pierce said there were only four
little Jerseys; Kimmerle insisted there
were ten. But lo! last Tuesday they
had multiplied to hundreds and every
one with a vote for Warner.
At Mt. Pleasant tomorrow duly
equipped with stiff collar aud plug
hat Edwin Russell will enjoy a wheel
barrow ride from the Bennett house
to the Djnavon house. John Wlneg
will propel the vehicle. 'Tis the paying off of a campaign bet which also
entitles Mr. Russell to two hew hats
The bets were that Isabella county
would elect four republicans officers,
that Warner would carry the state by
50,000 The wheel, barrow ride was
than Russell would win -both of the
foregoing.   .
Ten days ago th,e • democrat inner
circle boasted that besides furbishing
the -thunder for the campaign book
Ex-Mayor Lacy capped the climax by
digging up tlie Cyemaw- widow-Jersey-
cow episode, the intent of which was
to annihilate Gov. Warner, "Wasn't
that slicker than greese the way Ray
got it into the petroit News," they
slyly whispered. But nils'! Now that
the dime mm] trag-'c' didn't cost
Kimtapiltf much over 30,000 votes nobody lemeoibtrs who, the author of
the widow story was.
The campaign closed io Isabella
ooun'y fast and furious. The democrat county papjr charged county (ifflcers with county inttebedness.
ReDubllcans replied with the fkures
away back no Cleveland's democrat
days when the poor fuod grew abmor-
mally aud when the democrat treasurer had $13,000 ia thePenp'e's "-Savings
bank that failed and waen the sparrow b'uoty men got in their work,
leaving to treasurer Adams over $21,000
indebtedness in 1S99 This circular
came out Saturday night lite, Democrats replied with another statement.
The vote in Clare on Tuesday considered with that of last spring seems
to indicate a marked change of opinion in progress in tbe city. For example two years ago democrat candidates A. J. Lacy and Mayor Bpc-ner
received majorities of 121 and 139 respectively. On Tuesday Mr. Licy" as
democrat candidate for congress received only three * majority in Clare
and W. L. Parrish as democrat
candidate for sheriff carried the city
by only seventeen. O n the other hand
two years ago Gov. Warner failed to
carry the second and third wards; this
year he carries all three wards with a
majority of forty. Two years ago T.
S. Dorsey as republican candidate for
treasurer carried the city with 102
majority; this year for the sam • office
on the same ticket S. R. Goodman's
majority was 141. This all 'oiks
rather strange to those who the.se
many years have been accustomed to
see local democrat favorites roll up
tremendous majorities in Clare.
STRUCK BY ENGINE.
Leonard Brown Killed on Pere
Marquette Tracks Yesterday.
Just at noon yesterday Leonard
Brown was' instantly killed on the V.
M: main track east of McEwan street.
He was struck by a freight engine go-
ing west as relief for broken down
engine and probably never knew what
happened. The body was, terribly
mangled.
Coroner Dr. Reeder empanelled, a
jury and the verdict was that of accidental death through Inability to
hear the signals. Testimony showed
that the unfortunate man coming out
from behind some cars stepped onto
the main track when the engine, • going at the rate of about four miles
per hour, was only a short distance
away. The proper signals were given
but he being deprived ot hearing kept
on and when struck the engine was
going at the rate of about two miles
per hour. Ihe remains were taken
to J. E. Doherty's undertaking rooms.
Leonard Brown has lived in Clare
over twenty-live years and is.fifty-
seven years of age. He leaves two
sisters here, Mrs, I. Edgar of Loomis
and Mrs. James Philipps of wise, also
three sisters in Ontario. Never married, devoted to the care or hia mother who died but a short time ago, he
has always been respected as an industrious worthy cit'zen.

neighbors who so kindly assisted

United In marriage to Fred McKlnnon
but a few years ago, the end of ber
days came when life's greatest usefulness seemed opening to her. Sad is
her demise so early in life. Many are

THAT EMERGENCY CLAUSE.
City Dads in Quandry over Contracting Debt for G;as Producing PJant.
The city coiincil and board of works
held a joint meeting Mouday evening
to receiye a proposition for installing
a gas producing plant at the water
works power house. The proposition
submitted is to install the plant at a
cost of $950 payable in three annual
payments bearing Ave per cent interest, the building for same being estimated to cost, ahout $450 This plant
is designed to produce gasoline from
coal to keep one engine running ten
hours per day at a cost not to exceed
$1. The contract with the Standard
Oil company has expired and now instead of ten and one-half cents per
gallon, one-half cent less than "wholesale price is the best contract offered.
'At present the regular price is fourteen cents per gallon and according to
experts Is to go higher.
From Mayor to council and board of
works.everybody seemed td think the
proposition a good oncfrom a business
standpoint. The only question raised was, Is there any legal way of raising funds without bonding? Some
seemed to think the ''emergency
clause" applicable; others tbat the
city might just as well spend the
money for the plant as for gasoline-
others asked whether the "emener-
gency clause" being used to cover water tower, alarm system and every other thing that might arise wouldn't
really be dodging all limitations imposed by the charter, especially as the
debts assumed by the present council
from last year is nearly the limit of
forthcoming taxes.
At least nothing was done and it
appears that the majority of th** present council regardless of the precedent of last year's council refuse to contract debts except within charter
limitations

John Sherman Victim of Desperados near Farwell.
Farwell Correspondent
As John Sherman who lives with
his mother about two miles from this
village, was returning home on Monday evening he was accosted by two
villians one of which felled him to
the ground with a huge- club and
bruised his head and face in a horrible
manner. They then proceeded to
extract the contents of his pocket-
book which proved to he about four
dollars. Sherman had sold a cow that
day and it is' thought the desperatos,
who are believed to be living In this
villiage, knew of this transaction and
expected he carried the proceeds upon
his person.
Sherman lay in an unconscious condition for several hours and in the
meantime the highway robbers made
good their escipe. An un'-uccesstul
attempt was ""made later the same
night to burglarize the saloon of
Renner & Llnsey but the offenders
were frightened away by the night
watch who is employed by the company.
The citizens feel at this time that
from the number of depredations,
great and small, which are committed
under cover of darkness in this village: that a nightwatch'is a necessity.
