WHY VOTE FOR cuLvER7
Judge Brown, Of Marquette, on the Political
Situation.


Culver for congress, because, il is alleged,
he promises, IL elected. to do his utmost
"to restore 20 the public every acre oil
land in the upper peninsula now held by
greedy, usurping corporations, composed
OF eastern, and in some portions by En-
gish capitalists"
The Mining Journal declares that Mr..
Culver "has record that will appeal
powerfully TO the bulk OF the voters oI
the district, regardless Of their political
affiliations"
The Escanaba Mirror ordeclares that, III
Rush Culver is elected to congress every
acre Illegally held will revert back to the
people. For this reason the voters
should not stop to consider whether Mr..
Culver il a Democratic or Republican"
But this is not all. Mr.. Culver pro-
poses reforming the Democratic party
and forcing IL TO have some respect for
the rights Of the people. All this was
guaranteed by the Hon. Michael in his
speech in offering Mr.. Culycr's name To
the convention, as follows:
Democracy needs leader that party
trammels cannot prevent from standing
for human rights. The hardy pioneer
calls upon us to save him from corporate
greed. We need candidate who will go
down to Washington To help Grover
Cleveland TO carry on TO final triumph
the partial victory already won 10y Dem
ocratic principles. Such n man IL Rush
Culver"
Is il true that Mr.. Culver il going to
help Cleveland wipe out the last vestigc
OF protection TO the chief industries oi
the people OF this congressional district
Lumber on the iree list and the tariff on
iron orc already reduced to foIty cents
per ton 10y the Wilson bill, and another
bill already passed the house, 10y com
mand OF Grover Cleveland, placing IL on
the free list Are these the Democratic
principles Mr. Doyle assures MS Mr.. Cul
yer is going to help Cleveland carry out
Mr.. Culver, in accepting hs nomina
ton, took occasion TO assure the con
vention that he stood squarely upon Tho
Democratic state platform. The Demo
: cratic party OF Michigan adheres to tn
doctrine that tariff for the protection
: OF American industries is a fraud and !
? violation of the Federal Constitution
: The closing OF the mines, inctories, fur
nnces and mills; the pitilul appeals 9
! men, women and children for somcthin
: to do and for something TO eat, hay
|. failed TO open the eyes or touch til
c heart OF the Democratic party, whic
] persists in policy OF tariff Legislation
: calculated to destroy every particle G
G protection TO American industries. Bu
e worse than all, the platform OF the cor
I vcntion which placed Mr.. Culver j

contains this declaration:
