That Will Suit Him

Hon. A. J. Sawyer met the Washtenaw Times the other day and said he liked the Times' plan of having Washtenaw solid for sorae one candidate of its own in the republican congressional convention - which one he did not particularize, but left the public in a state of unsatisfied anxiety concerning his choice thought of acandidate. Mr. Sawyer that the only practical way to do a good job of wood sawing was to have but one Sawyer, and to this end he was willing to enter a combine with the rest of the eminent and extensive aggregation of lican aspirants tor Mr. Uorman s four-year-old shoes, the favorite in the ccmnty convention to rake the jack-pot and go into the congressional convention "with whoop and shriek and battle cry and flags and banners waving high," solid for the Hon. A. J. Sawyer, of Washtenaw - O, hold on Quaker! - for the man who received the plurality choice of the county convention. Mr. Sawyer's readiness to accept this plan seems to indícate his confidence in the good fortune of the candidate he favors. Now if one could only get an inkling of who he tavors, it would relieve the strain oa the public mind to a wonderful degree. Possibly it may be the Hon. Joe T. Jacobs, whose name is as visible in the field of possibilities as a sheep skin on the gable end of a barn. But there are some who fear Mr. Jacobs would not consent to be jerked from the bosora of his faniily and made a congressman. Should this prove so, then, perhaps the heart of Mr. Sawyer would turn toward the small-pox district. It is opined, however, that his affections cannot go unreservedly in that quarter, at least not until after the report of the committee that has been appointed to inquire into the truth of Capt. Allen's alleged attempt to colonize Count Skihi's Coxey Army, in his interest and turn it into the congressional convention as the Washtenaw delegation. The public will have to wait with more or less patience for further developments, when it will be discovered that sorne things can be done as well as others. Since writing the above the Times prints the acqueiscence of Hon. Joe. T. Jacobs in the plan of a K. K. K. e. g., Kongressional Kandidates' Kombine for Washtenaw County. Mr. Jacobs is heart and soul in the scheme to make Washtenaw solid for some one of its candidates. Now fhe que,stion is, who does Mr. Jacobs favor for congress ?
