MEMBER OF CONGRESS.
For member of Congress shall we
vote for man who has proved rec
reant to every trust, who has violated
every pledge made to his constituents
before his election. a man who boasts
that he voted for the infamous Mills
bill, that by one fell blow would cripple
materially, if not utterly destroy al
the business Industries of the State, a
blow al ned ut every laboring man,
farmer. mechanic, tradesman or bu 81
ness man. a man who has shown him
self utterly incompetent, either TO adj
vance or defend the interests OF his
constituents, who is cheek 10y jowl with
those who would rob our beloved State
of what rightfully belongs to her.
For proof of this see his vote against
refunding. to the State of Michigan,
the war loan of $50, 900 to the general
government for the prosecution OF the
war; A man with such record must
presume very much upon his own cheek
or the obtuseness and forbearance of

election.
