Harkins, give us a song.

Harkins, give us a song.

Mr. President is the formula with which Walter Seabolt will be  addressed hereafter.

Judge Doty, if you have occasion to send us over the road, we pray you do not give us more than 60 days.

The third of the alleged Judson propositions, to elect the whole city ticket, was too large an undertaking.

Mr. Seyler, when you come into your kingdom, kindly remember to keep assessments down, and your petitioner will ever pray.

The board of supervisors is republican by a safe majority. It has been democratic so long that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary.

Commissioner Lister, Dear Sir--You have our permission to visit and advise the school ma'ms for two years more. Yours, A Majority of the Voters.

Luick and Seyler appear to belong in the same class. Although running on opposite tickets they come down the home stretch nearly neck and neck as to majorities.

Judge Kinne appears to retain his hold upon the voters of Washtenaw notwithstanding the fact that he had one of the cleanest, ablest and most popular attorneys of the county for his opponent.

Justice Claudius B. Grant has been re-elected by a greatly reduced majority. The returns indicate that organized labor threw its votes against him but that the conservative country districts saved him.

S. M. Jones, the Pingreesque mayor of Toledo, who was turned down by the republicans for a re-nomination, ran on an independent ticket and won. He evidently has some support among the people. He favors city ownership of the electric light plant and other public utilities.

Now that the election is over let every citizen do his part to uphold the hands of the city officials and assist them in giving the city the best government it has ever had. All should work together for the moral, intellectual and material interests of the city. The citizens whom the people have elevated to officials stations are good, competent, conscientious, honest citizens and will perform the duties of their respective offices to the best of their ability, but in doing this they need the support of their fellows just as much as they did on election day. Under our system city government cannot be expected to be more than a good average of the public opinion of its citizens. In the interest of our homes, our public schools, the university and all other interests, this average should be made as high as possible and progressive.

The letter published by our democratic contemporary and bearing the signature of "A Republican" was written in the office of the said democratic contemporary and by its democratic editor. - Washtenaw Times.

Neither the Argus edior nor anyone connected with the office had anything to do directly or indirectly with the preparation or writing of the above mentioned letter, nor was it prepared in the Argus office. The Argus knew nothing at all of the letter until it was handed in by a prominent republican politician. The Argus stated the whole truth when it said that about a dozen of the most prominent republicans of the city were back of the communication and had to do with its preparation. The Argus reiterates that statement now, the editor of the Times to the contrary notwithstanding. The Times made the statement quoted above ignorantly and without one single atom of evidence to support the bald assertion.
