A MAN WITH BRAINS

Smith Wants One for Helber and Judson.

IS ONE IN WASHTENAW?

If so there is a Premium on Him

Congressman Smith says He is Not in the Senatorial War or the Washtenaw County Squabble--Surprised at Helber and Judson.

Adrian, Mich., July 21. --(Special to Daily Argus) --Hon. H.C. Smith (congressman) has just arrived home from "Spaldingsburg" as he calls Monroe. When asked relative to the reports which have been published in the Daily Argus and in other papers of the state, he was much surprised that Judson and Helber are continuing the fight in Washtenaw county and said he knew as little about it as "the man with the hoe." Mr. Smith, however, did not feel so easy as he appeared, but said he is not paying any attention to either the senatorial or Washtenaw squabble. Said he: "I am neither for Paul nor Cephas, but I'll give a premium for a man with brains to take the place of both of them." However, he says he has boils of his own to doctor.

It is quite apparent that Congressman Smith is not satisfied with Helber and that he is not particularly in love with "Billy" Judson. Is there a man in Washtenaw he can get "with brains?" If so he had better stay under cover as there is a premium on him.
