Muskegon, and Is president OF the
Muskegon Board OF Trade, which has
been doing a good deal OF work lately
in developing the fruit raising and
farming land on the west shore of
the state The Ninth congressional
district has not had a state officer In
several years. and Muskegon not for
half century,, and Ross admirers
picked him TO 90 after one.
I'm not attached to any candidate
for governor. and am not pushing any
campaign but my own" said Ross. If
go TO Lansing next january shall
try TO preside over the deliberations
OF the senate In way to give salts
faction to all parts OF the state. and
no section will get any favors at the
expense OF any other section.
The future prosperity of the state
demands that IL should get value for
every dollar spent. The welfare OF
the agricultural interests, the indus
trial centers and the undeveloped por-
tons OF the state demand the judici-
GUS expenditure of the state money
and the reduction OF the tax rate to
as low point as is commensurate
with good business principles.
II believe in majority rule, and
whether nominated or not shall be
for the men and measures which re-
ceiye the Endorsement of the people.
