MR.. VOTER:-The Office Of Con-
gresham at-Large, which represents
the entire State, has just been created.
Every voter has the right to vote for
Congressman-at-Larg 1t is a State
Office and your vote for me will not
affect any District Congressman. The
State is now represented by twelve
Congressman and two Senators, Of
which twelve are lawyers and only two
are business men Would il not be
well to inject more BUSINESS prin-
ciples and fewer technicalities into
our laws?
My opponent for this Office on the
Republican ticket is lawyer and has
been in public office at Lansing for a
number OF years. He was Lieutenant
Governor under Warner, when the
great commonwealth of Michigan was~
bankrupt Has anyone ever heard a
word of protest from him as to the
inefficiency Of our State government
during all the years he was in Ian
sing?
Every voter knows that over 80 per
cent of the members in congress are
lawyers: that has been true for years
They also know that the laws are so
technical that the very men who make
them will go into court and a lawyer
on either side will argue from one TO
twenty-four hours as to what the law
really means. Then the judge will
take from one to ten days to decide
the very law that possibly he and the
two lawyers referred to helped 70
place upon the statute books. In fact,
the laws are so technical that on oc-
casions when the Supreme Court Of the
United States has been deciding some
important point four learned judges
have given opinion one way and FIVE
the other. which means that ONE MAN
practically makes the law in such
cases | INSIST that il would be bet.
ter for the people if there were MORE
BUSINESS MEN in Congress to help
eliminate the technicalities and de
lays in judicial proceedings
| find no fault with the lawyer as
professional man The lawyer like
the physician, engineer and scientist,
stands as an example Of our highest
type OF especially trained professional
men. But the point | wish to empha-
size is: There should not be such a
large majority of any profession,
whether doctors, lawyers or engineers.
There should be nearer balance of
the different professions. and a larger
percentage of business men, in the
legislative halls of this country. In
view of the increasingly complicated
relations, both foreign and domestic
with which our Congress deals, it is,
OF course. proper that it should be
provided with efficient legal counsel.
But the percentage is and always has
been too large. There should be more
consideration of national affairs from
business mans standpoint in our
legislative halls.
Mr. Voter, if you feel that a man
with forty years business experience
who has travelled into every nook and
corner of the United States. thereby
giving him a nationwide view. can
serve you better as Congressman-at
Large, representing this whole State.
than a lawyer who has spent tnc
larger part of his maturity as an Office
holder at Lansing, SUPPORT AM

NEWEST A|RSH|P
BALANCES ITSELF

PARIS, June 5.-An aeroplane with
real automatic stabilisator is said to
have been invented by NJ Moreau. at
Combs la Vile. and he has issued a
statement which is sensational, to say
the least, namely, that he was able to
fly distance of 80 miles or more with
out touching any levers. The appa
ratus automatically balances itself in
the air, made circuits. and needed di ?
rection only when it was a question of
turning to one side or the other, rising
or descending, and when landing.
NJ Moreau has been trying to solve
the problem of automatic flight since
1901 He was supported generously by
a committee of Combs la Vile, and his
apparatus. a monoplane. differs con-
siderably in general appearance from
other aeroplanes. His main object was
to obtain an automatic horizontal sta
bility This Is obtained by an oscil-
lating contrivance under the aeroplane.
The aeroplane consists of a pair Of
wings resembling those Of a crow or
dove. forming a united plane. The
steering tail is of large dimensions. and

Moreau made his first flight in this
machine a year ago. and. after having
continued working on 1t and improving
it. he made what he considers a con-
elusive experiment on May 10 this year.

The A. c. L. issued s3o,ooo,OOo in

without jurisdiction because the A. c.
