Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1888-11-01
BROCKWAY CENTRE NIich THURSDAY

Chas. Fusee, Of Fargo, were callers a.
the EXPosIToR Office Friday last. Mr.
Bradley was former merchant of Far
go, but now Is conducting successful
business in Cleveland.
Frank s. Parker, of Marine City, re.
publican candidate for county clerk
made this Office very pleasant cal
Friday last as also did Judge II. W
Stevens, of Port Huron, candidate on
same ticket for prosecuting attorney.
The consciousness of having rene.
dy at hand for Group, pneumonia, sore
throat, and sudden colds, is very con-
soling to parent. With a bottle of
Ayers Cherry Pectoral in the house,
one feels, in such cases, a sense of secu-
rity nothing else can give.
All young men should know that they
may vote a day before they are 21. Le-
gally man becomes 21 on the day be-
fore his 2lst birthday. The law recog-
nizes no part of the day, so that a man
who becomes 21 at any time during
Nov. eth, may vote on Nov. 9th.
The population of Brockway Centre
is about 800, and we would say at least
one-half are troubled with some affec-
tion of the throat and lungs, as those
complaints are, according to statistics,
more numerous than others. We would
advise all our readers not toneglect the
opportunity to call on their druggist
and get bottle Of Kemp's Balsam for
the throat and lungs. Trial size free.
Large bottles soc. and 81. Sold by all
druggists.
w. Reid, of Mt. Salem, has recently
bought thoroughbred Southdown
buck of Dan Foley, for which he paid
S6O.-Capac Journal. Mr.. Foley has a
lot of fine bred stock on his farm which
command the highest price when plac-
ed on the market. Intending purchas-
ers of Percheron horses, Berkshire pigs,
or Southdown sheep will do well by call
ing on Mr.. Foley at his farm in Emmett
township and see what he has.
ID. Mckenzie, of Brockway, sold Full
Ter Bros. S39 worth of butter recently.
Farmers bring produce to this place on
account Of the prices paid.-Capac
Journal Stephen Barr, living in the
southwestern part of this township, sold
nearly 300 pounds of butter at one time
to Alex. III. Braidwood of this village
and received 20 cts. per pound for the
same. One day last week our merch-
ants paid as high as % cts. per pound
in cash. If the farmers would only
bring their farm produce to this village
they would reap the benefit of the high
est prices paid every time.
At the county clerks Office a large
of men have taken out their
first papers during the past two months.
These men will not be voters this fall.
One of the most prolific sources of
fraud in our elections is the registration
of persons of foreign birth. on what
are called their first papers" When a
person of foreign birth offers himself
for registration, and exhibits his. first
papers, or declaration of intention, if
the paper bears date six months before
the then election, many, if not all, of
the registration boards will register
them without further questions. Bear
in mind that the papers must not only
have been issued six months before the
election, but the person must have lived
in the state two years and six months.
(See election laws, p. S, sec. 28) When
a person of foreign birth offers himself
for registration require him Gf not
fully known to be u voter to show his
papers, and ask him when did you be-
come a permanent resident of this
state?' Ask him also any further ques-
tions that may be necessary to test his
right to be registered.
Political matters are getting decided
ly warm. Candidates from coroner to

best work. In the national and state
campaign the tide of battle now tends
to one side and then to the other. Rea-
sons are adduced from every possible
source and appeals are made to every
conceivable motive by which men may
be influenced. Indeed some of the
speakers made use of the race classifi-
cation" to arouse the feelings of their
hearers. This we think is a considera-
tion which should never be brought in
to view: it is too dangerous weapon
to be employed in any political contest
under our form of government. Such
classification as the Irish vote, the Ger
man vote, the Catholic vote, should
have nothing whatever to do in Ameri-
can politics. Appeals to. these citizens
as distinct classes cannot be made with
out introducing some question of for
eign significance or arousing prejudice
against them. Race or religion is not a
reason for or against any man. Every
voter should act simply as an American
