BRADLEY FOR GOVERNOR.

There has been sweeping through
the country a wave of reform. 1t is
not the wall OF fanatics, nor the cry OF
sentimentalists, but the sober demand
OF the electorate for a higher stand
ard OF civic honesty. The demand is
not only timely, but should be well
coined by every man who has an in
terest in his commonwealth.
Affairs of state are the affairs of
the people, and it is healthy sign to
note that people generally are troub-
ling themselves TO get in closer touch
with public affairs Indeed, there can
be no greater safeguard than when
the people scrutinize matters of pub
lie moment, especially those things
which involve the expenditure of large
sums of money from the public funds.
Michigan is one of the big states Of
the union, and its internal affairs have
reached magnitude that demand the
highest grade of ability obtainable. In
other words, it is a plain business
proposition.
Electors, you will get out OF a
proposition just what you put in. If
you are content to have your affairs
handled by professional politicians
why complaint
But you are complaining and Just
ly so, and complaints are ringing from
coast to coast Victory rests with
you 1t is a battle Of the ballot You
nominate the man you want See that
YOU want the man best fitted to serve
you
The question OF financing the State
OF Michigan has become a stupendous
one. and the taxpayers have to loot
the bill Economy honesty and capa-
bility are the elements that must be
looked for Since Michigan became
state. a little more than 70 years
ago. the sum Of S7S.357 .652I7 has been
apportioned in taxes to be borne by
the general property OF the state This
Is exclusive Of the taxes paid by the
railroads and other corporations. the
latter being a separate source of in
come OF this amount S25,6oI ,S6o.o5.
or practically one-third of all taxes APP
portioned since Michigan became a
state, have been apportioned in the
last eight years.
Think OF this tremendous increase
in such a short period of time, and
figure out what it means to the tax
payer Somewhere a halt must be
called, for the expenses of the state
have reached a point where business
economy is an absolute necessity.
A new broom sweeps clean Michi-
gan viii adopt a revised constitution
at the fall election It also needs a
revised administration.
At the primaries next Tuesday place
an X in the square before the name OF
James B. Bradley for governor and
you will get what YOU want, a clean
and economical administration.

BRADLEY HEADQUARTERS
Detroit. Michigan.

On Tuesday, September Ist, the Re.
publicans of Michigan will have their
first opportunity to choose their can
didate for governor by direct vote.
The welfare of the state and party
alike demand that there be the fullest
expression possible at the primaries
No one is more anxious than DR.
Bradley that every Republican voter
shall 90 TO the polls on that day and
register his preference for governor
Some seem to entertain the impress
sion that the registration which en-
titles him to vote at an election also
qualities them to vote at the party
primary. This is a mistake and may
result in the d;sfranchisement Of thou

There is method in the tactics of
democratic newspapers of the elev-
enth congressional district, which are
urging republicans to vote for George
Covell for congress. The Big Rapids
Bulletin, which aspires to leadership
among the democratic papers of the
district IN referring to Covell brazen-
ly says: Give us man who has
some life and does things even though
he be charged by his enemies with be-
ing the tool of the corporations" If
record creates favor for him in the
democratic camp its leaders should
formally claim him as a man whose
ways of doing things they fully
approve But such a man as the
Interchangeable record of his votes In
the state senate shows George Covell
TO be can not honorably be urged by
the leaders Of one party as the candi-
date of another. Democratic advice
to republicans as to the selection of
republican candidate reaches the
heights Of impertinence and discount
esy when George Covell is urged as
the democratic favorite.

Readers Of The Record should I'M
derstand that the political announce

nouncements of the candidates them

them the endorsement of the paper
1t is intended that every such article

Every elector should remember that
in order 10 vote at the party primary

the party primary two years ago.
This enrolment is entirely distinct

This is the best opportunity pos

II has been claimed for George Gov
ell that he voted for primary cleo
tions back in the year 1877. That is
characteristic bit of Coyell decep-
ton. The bill he voted for was to
permit the holding of primaries in
cities of not less than $4,000 inhabi-
tants and not over 10000. This bill
had been asked for by the represen-
tatives of the particular city interest
ed. There was no opposition to 1t
and every vote cast was in its favor.
IT had no relation to general primary
elections and his effort to have il
so accepted is following the usual
