Vote Eyes" on this Important Amendment
[ ] No.
Amendment to the Constitution
relative to the teaching of a
mechanical trade to convicts in
the state prison of this state.
[ Yes.
The above is a copy Of a con-
stitutional amendment which is
to be voted on by the voters Of
Michigan next Monday. Poll
tics should not be thought of in
consideration of this amendment.
1t is of vital interest to the tax
payers of Michigan. If you vote
YES on the amendment, you
will vote to give the prisoner a
chance to regain his lost place
in society. Vote YES and
you will vote to repeal a law
which would have disgraced the
dark ages. Vote YES" and
you will be reaching down a
helping hand to lift those less
fortunate than you, instead of
helping to push them over the
brink. Perhaps you will be vot-
ing to help your boy. You will
surely be voting to help or hurt
your neighbours boy. Under our
constitution, as the supreme
court has interpreted it, prison
ers cannot lawfully make their
own bread; they cannot make
their own shoes or their own
clothes, as they are now doing.
They cannot paint the prison
buildings. They cannot do the
prison plumbing or carpenter
work, fire the prison boilers or
run engine or electric light plant.
This is an important question,
and an opportunity is now given
voters to remedy this evil. If
the amendment carries, the pri.
soners will all be kept busy,
which will certainly be to their
benefit as we'll as the tax payers.
If the amendment carries, a bind.
er Irvine plant will undoubtedly
be established at the prison in
Jackson, which would be of great
benefit to the farmers of the
state. Every man should make
an effort to get to the polls or
election day, and be sure to vote
"YES" on this important ques.
ton. This is not a matter OF
politics, but is question of spe
cial Importance to every either
in Michigan Vote YES or

You can do no better work in
the direction of advancing your
own personal interests, no mat

ests extend, to the farm or the

The republican ticket as NOM
mated, from state officers to
township constables, is an ex.
cellent one. The candidates are
all efficient and especially fitted
for the particular office to which
they aspire. There can be no
reason this spring for any repub-
lican to scratch a single name on
the ticket The nominees on
the township ticket are compe-
tent, courteous gentlemen and
are deserving Of normal repub-
lican majority, which they no
doubt will receive.
