THE ELEVENTH DISTRICT.

The time is fast approaching when the
counties of Gratiot, Montcalm, Isabella,
Mecosta, Clare, Osceola, Roscommon
Missauke. Grand Traverse, Kalkaska,
Antrim, Charlevoix ana the Beaver Is
land, comprising the Eleventh Congress
sional District, will be called together 10
nominate candidate to represent it in
congress for the next two years, 10 sue
coed the Hon. A. b Darragh.
Mr.. DArragh is too wei known for
us to say anything that is not already
known. His sterling good qualities have
been felt IN every part of this unwieldy
district, and there is no good reason why
he should not be returned for third
term.
The Eleventh Congressional District
has been known too long as a two-yerm
district and there is no time like the
present to break that old-:ime practice,
for just so long as we continue that
method, just so long VIII our representa-
tive in congress be cipher in that body.
A new representative first term in
congress is quite similar to freshman
in college-Ae scarcely dare speak above
a whisper for fear of being sat upon by
all those old .ermers from Eastern and
Middle States, who have been Ia con-
gress for score OF years, and whose
voices are heard, advice taken and
whose opinions are Of some value to
their constituents.
When representative Is sent back
for second term, he is OF somewhat
more value than during the first term,
but perchance he comes from so-called
two-term district his voice and opinion
carries very little weight with it, for il
is generally understood that this is to
be his last term in congress
Let him return for third term and
his opinion amounts TO something and
his colleagues look up TO him as man OF
some merit and the district from which
he comes receives the benefit Of his work
and he can have almost anything he
wants for il.
Now that the district has got a man
it has long needed, IN the person OF
Mr.. Darragh, whose ability is unques-
toned, the proper thing 10 do is TO re-
turn him TO congress for third term
and finish the work he has so ably
started, and not entrust it to an untried
and inexperienced man.
The old fogy ideas of giving acongress-
man but two terms is unjust to the
representative and detrimental to the
district he repres snts, and the sooner it
is broken the better the counties which
he represents will fale.
There are several gentlemen in the dis.
tries VINO would BE- pleased to receive the
nomination aud are without doubt lust
as wei qualified, but they lack the ex-
perience, and it's time that the Eleventh
Congressional District Of Michigan pro-
flied by the 4ssous taught it by its oil Ter
and more experienced brothers in the
Eastern States
