Mr. Barkworth's Campaign

tion. Thomas E. Barkworth is making a vigorous and convincing campaign in Washtenaw. His meet ings are largely attended and whereever he has spoken he has gained friends. In Milan, Manchester, Saline and elsewhere in the county he has been met with audiences whom he interested at the outset and held with closest attention to the last. It is beginning to dawn on the people that in Thomas E. Barkworth the people have a representative; one who is able and willing to present their cause in no uncertain manner, should he be elected. VVithin the past few weeks there has been a notable change in the situation. The democrats who never despaired of carrying the district, feel perfectly sure of carrying it now; and in the same proportion republican hopes have fallen off; and the vigorous, telling arguments of Mr. Barkworth, showing conclusively the mistakenness of the republican tariff policy, and the falseness of their prophesy of ruin to business and the collapse of industries under the Wilson law, are having their effect. The arguments of Mr. Barkworth are making far more votes than Gen. Spaulding's handshakes. At Milan and Manchester Mr. Barkworth was accompanied by Mr. F. Nelson Lewis, who has proven a democratie campaigner of ability. He is a ready, fluent and convincing peaker, and will be heard in various parts of the district during the campaign.
