Congressman Gorman's Retirement.

Congressman Gorman went out of office on the tourth of March with the respect of his constituents. He has made one of the best congressman that has represented this district in congress. Those who have cared only for oritorical display have been somewhat disappointed because Mr. Gorman has not taken up the time of a congress which contained too many talkers and not enough active workers, with empty words. Hut to those who knew that a congressman's speeches are designed only for effect in his contituents and are not listened to by his fellow members, the fact that Mr. Gorman has not been given to the wordy habit commends his good sense. Especially as everyone knows that Mr. Gorman can talk if occasion arises. In Washington he has been recognized as one of the most influential working members. He has done much for his constituents. Those who have called upon him for assistance in the way of expediting the hearing of their pension claims, etc, have received his prompt and effect - ive personal attention. He has secured for Ann Arbor many and improved mail facilities. He has secured addition to the Ypsilanti postoffice. He aided the Jackson postoffice very materially for the good of the service. He has been more suocessful than the other Michigan congressmen in securing places for his constituents. On all public matters he has been an earnest and consistent supporter of honest, economical government. The administration has had no warmer supporter. Mr. Gorman has served his district we 11.
