BELIEVES IN DEMOCRATS

They Will Sweep the State This Year

HON. ANDREW J. SAWYER

Names a Man for the Head of the Democratic Ticket who Will Win He Says

 

"The republican party has been mainly successful through the errors made by the democrats."

This was the statement by the Hon. Andrew J. Sawyer, the well known republican attorney. Friday morning. Mr. Sawyer was busily engaged in reading a lengthy legal document when his visitor entered his office.

"What's new in the political field" was asked.

Looking up from the paper in his hand and with a sort of discontented air, Mr. Sawyer replied: "Oh, nothing much."

"Quite a fight going on for the congressional nomination," was remarked. Yes it appears to be nothing but tight all over," said the attorney rather vehemently. Then as if a comforting idea had just taken hold of him Mr. Sawyer said:

"It the democratic party will put the right man at the head of its ticket, adopt the right sort of a platform, making the enforcement of the primary election law the chief plank, they'll sweep the state this year."

The man for the head of the democratic ticket. Mr. Sawyer believes, is Peter J. White of Marquette.

"He's a grand old hero, honest and clean," he enthusiastically continued, as if reflecting on the corruption that had made his own party dominant in the state. "Yes," he reflectively went on "Peter White would be the man to lead the democracy to victory."

Just at this point the well known "chip of the old block," Attorney Andrew J. Sawyer, jr., entered with the morning mail and the interesting views of the senior member of the law firm of Sawyer & Son, on the strength of the democracy in Michigan, with Peter J. White at its head, was off.
