spoken Ia hIs behalf:
Judge Montgomery. Republican can
d.date Tor supreme couIt justice, was =

stand like ms opponent upon Il plat
form endorsing The senatorial steal al
Lansing ana bgamist trldiender. lie
IS man OF clean hands and record.
Honest men Of ali parties should vote
for Robert Al. Observation-Disclosures
Chronicle.
l am very anxious for the election OF
the Republican ticket this spring. Ia
tue first place Judge Montgomery is
better man Tor the Supreme bench than
Mr.. Chsmplin. and in the second place
be Is supported by better party. The
acton al Lansing on February "a would
have been disgrace 10 reign OF bar
Observation-Disclosures Luce.
Hon. Robert NJ. Montgomery Is man
OF large ability, Of keen foresight,
shrewd aud experienced junst, and
withal man who would do the State OF
Michigan proud as her next Justice OF
the Supreme Court. There is every
reason 10 believe that Michigan VIII be
redeemed on Monday, IN SO lar as the
Republican sentiment OF the State Is e1-
pressed.-Saginaw Courier and Herald.
Up To the hour of going to press,
Judge Champlin has not dlsayowed his
endorsement of the Senatorial steal OF
two Republican seats at Lansing. There
are indications, however, that good
many decent Democrats who are not
candidates, are sick OF that Job, and
that they Will make their dislpproyal
felt at the proper time and place.
Montcalm Herald.
The qualifications of Judge Robert NJ.
Montgomery, Republican candidate for
Justice OF the Supreme Court, are un-
paralleled. He Is Il man who by has
own efforts has proven himself TO be
equal To the responsibilities OF the
office, and as won 4 reputation as Judge
second to none in the State. He has
had seven years experience as judge of
the Kent county circuit courts, and has
met with 4 greater responsibility than
is usually met.-Shelby Republican.
Judge Montgomery was soldier, en-
listing the moment he was old enough
to come within the legal requirements,
though the war ended before he did any
fighting. He has been n good citizen.
and Is one of the best circuit judges III
Mlchigan-a man of good general edu-
cation, n vigorous intellect, a man OF
large brain aud great energy OF mind
and body. He is the ideal Judge, and
is a Republican. lie does not stand on
a platform that endorses an infamy
that disgraces Michigan for all tIne.-
Flint Journal.
The Democratic State Committee
makes an almost direct admission OF
the scarcity of its campaign materiat
by the issuance of circular on Justice
Champlin's ''war record" which IS the
silliest, most absurd, and yet ludicrous
vote-gcttlng attempt ever known. The
justice, it appears, had u brother who
fought for his country, and the candI-
date has been wont 10 meet occa-
sionally with the survivors of his
brothers regiment. This is the extent
OF his patriotism, against which stands
the fact that Judge Montgomery, the
Republican candidate, went 10 the
front and helped put down the re-
bellion.-Chariotte Republican.
Is there any good reason why
every Republican should not vote Tor
Judge Montgomery next Monday 1T
so, we have not heard IL mentioned.
One "sort of Republican thought the
Republicans IN the northern part OF the
State would cut him at the polls be-
cause he was nominated by the support
of the southern counties. This Is one
of the poorest excuses possible to cover
political imbecility-to oppose good
man who honestly and honorably Sc
cures the nomination of your party
simply because you did not succeed IN
getting your own choice nominated.
Republicans will make no mistake in
supporting Judge Montgomery.-East
Jordan Enterprise.
An Associate Justice OF the Supreme
Court is 10 be elected next Monday III
place of Judge Champlin, who has been
renominated for the position. Judge
Champln is n Democrat. The Demo
Gratis SAY this fact should not he con-
sidered, fer the Supreme Court should
be eliminated from politics. They ask
Republicans to vote for Judge Champ
lin. How would IT be If the retiring
Justice was a Republican, Would we
hear this argument then, from the
Democrats Would they vote for the
retiring Republican just to eliminate
the Supreme Court FROM politics. Not
much. Why haven't they done this
before? This non-partisan cry now IS
made for the occasion. 4 Democ at
votes for a Democrat every time

Montgomery had been a drinking man,
