HON. A. C. LYLES,
Of Carlisle. Was his third time to
ask for suffrage. Has been faithful
and is still in dead earnest since the
first and will continue to look
after the interests of our section.

of Jonesville, disagrees with the
speakers as to the usefulness OF
speaking in the Legislature. Workers
and speakers are both good and
necessary. Feels that he is compe-
