Afraid of Ann Arbor

Saline Merchants Opposed to a Line Here

But the Villagers and Farmers Wanted it and Won the Election by Naming the Ticket.

Evidently the Saline merchants think they are between the devil and the deep sea, according to the trouble they had in placing a village ticket in the field these past few days. The merchant element wished to have a ticket put up of men who were against the electric road to Ann Arbor, while the people in general and the farmers made a strong fight for the men who would be in favor of the Ann Arbor road, and the latter won out.

The merchants claimed that they thought the Ann Arbor road would clean them up in business, while the road to Ypsilanti would only hurt it some.
