ing legal lights of the City by the
Sea-" Always prominent In the Re
publican politics of the county, he has
aspired to few official positions. He
served with distinction, however, in
the recent constitutional convention,
and is known for his strict allegiance
to principle and sterling integrity.
Withal Attorney Wicksall is well
fitted by education and experience to
assume the duties of state senator,
and his friends about the country are
enthusiastic In his behalf.
Lawrence Tlmes-Guy ]. Wicksall,
state senatorial candidate. made an
excellent impression. He took up
state issues and discussed them ably
and outlined briefly the changes he
would advocate In the handling OF
state affairs. The assurances of sup.
port given Mr.. Wicksall would indi.
cate that he is the choice of the peo.
pie Of this locality at least, for the
position of state senator Mr.. Wick.
sail is we'll qualified to assume the re-
sponsible duties Of this office. He
ably served in the recent constitu.
tional convention and the knowledge
thus gained of state affairs would be
Of inestimahle value TO him in the
Office he seeks. The people Will make
no mistake In voting for Mr.. Wicksall
at the coming primaries.
Decatur RepubIican-Mr. Wicksall
possesses the qualifications necessary
TO make an excellent representative of
the district and leader Of the senate.
He is young man and student and
those who know him know that he is
a man of honor whom the people can
fully trust.
eendor Advance-The name of Guy
]. Wicksall, who is seeking the nom
ination Of state senator, has more
than passing interest TO the people of
Bangor and vicinity. In the first
! place Mr.. Wicksal was a Bangor boy,
| he went to school here, and graduated
with honors many years ago After
leaving the Bangor school he went
to the Michigan University and in due
! time graduated from the law depart
ment.
He then hung out his single at
| South Haven, where he has made a
success Of the law business, and today
stands high among the members of
the bar of southwestern Michigan.
What he is he has made himself, as
he has no monied interests behind
him.
'And now Mr.. Wicksall wants
to go TO the senate-and why not?
But as most Offices develop more
than one candidate Mr.. Wicksall has
opposition In the person of Milan Wig.
gins, the Bloomingdale banker A
comparison of the two men in a fair
and candid way cannot fail to give Mr..
Wicksall the better of the argument
Mr.. Virgins has been engaged in
mercantile and farming interests until
few years ago since when he has
been engaged In private banking. He
was member of the legislature Of
1889 and is now 81 years old
Mr. Wicksall is a lawyer, having
been in practice in South Haven for
the past IA years. He was member
Of the constitutional convention and Is
| 81 years old.
Assuming that Mr.. Virgins and Mr..
Wicksall start evenly in points of in
tegrity and native ability, the training
received at Ann Arbor and ia the IA
years practice of law, and the exper-
fence in the constitutional convention
Is a better preparation with which to
meet the issues In the next legislature
than the training received In a session
OF the legislature 20 years ago, and
that received from a business and a
banking experience
In comparison of years IL stands to
reason that the older man must pass
off the scene of action the quicker.
The benefit Mr. Wicksall will receive
at his age IN the next two terms of
the legislature will come back TO the
people for the next 80 years, whereas
this cannot be said of Mr.. Virgins.
The Advance, in endorsing Mr..
Wicksall for the Office of state sena-
tor for this. the Eighth district, be
lieves him TO be eminently fitted for
the high position he seeks. 1t has no
mud to throw at the other aspirant for
the place, regards him highly, but be
