REASON AND LOGIC.

One OF the fundamental principles of our
government is that of frequent elections and
short terms OF office, and if there is ANYTHING
inconsistent with our Democratic form of
rule IT is the common and much tolerated
evil, long tenure of office. "Thrd Term
ism has always been discouraged by the
American people Washington spurned
the offer of third term, Roosevelt scorns it,
and this sentiment must live and live with
the voter If our government is perpetuated
Third-termers must be repudiated. Long
tenure OF office lends too great feeling of
security, and often leads the incumbent to
forget the people who sent him there.
These are some of the reasons that
caused Charles H Goggin to enter the race
for the nomination of Prosecuting Attorney.
The present incumbent is capable and suc-
cessful, but rotation in all officeholders is
most desirable, Mr. Goggin was born on
farm near Alma, his father being a we'll
known and successful farmer As boy
he attended Alma high school and later
studied law at the University of Michigan
Since berg admitted to the bar, he has
made an envi4ble record, having handled
many of the most important legal matters
before our courts
Mr. Goggin believes in the young man.
This is the day of the young Fired with
youths ambition, clear-visioned and clean
lived, the young man today is the hope OF
the nation Unfettered by party policies,
unhampered by party tradition, he goes
forth 10 improve, and to serve Where the
name OF young man appears on the ballot
is the place where the cross should be made.
Before the name of Charles II Goggin, it
means clean, fearless administration of
all laws
