In the opinion of the Cuban minister,
senior RiTerO, there is no fouandation
for the reports that president Gomez
is seeking to resign his Office at this
critical moment and he is positive that
the president viii maintain an attitude
Of strict impartality. The minister
himself has been in conference with

believes is within the control Of the

JUDGE OF PROBATE.

Clean politics is the greatest de-

attention is paid by them to the old
personal insinuations, customary in
political campaigns of days gone by,
for they have come to realize that I'M
less a man asking for office is unable
TO run a clean campaign, it is very
probable that his administration of
public office will have its taints of
unfairness even if nothing more SER
iously wrong comes from that admin
istration. The people know that a
mans character and personality is re-
hected truly in the campaign he
makes. They know an honest man
will conduct a clean campaign.
For Judge of Probate this year the
Republicans selected Judge J. Lee
Potts to be their candidate. No Re.
publican has regretted that choice be.
cause the party know that Judge
Potts lends strength to their ticket
and, if elected, will fulfill the duties
OF that office with care and compe
tency. Their faith in him has beer
greatly strengthened by the campaign
he made for the nomination and tn,

One of the most remarkable feats
OF this years campaigning is the work
of Bird J Tucker of this city Repub-
lican candidate for the office Of Reg
lister of Deeds For the past twelve
years it has been necessary for Mr..
Tucker to walk with the aid of
crutchcs as in 1900 he suffered a
stroke OF paralysis that affected his
lower limbs Mr., Tucker started out
last July after the nomination on the
Republican ticket for the office Of
Register of Deeds. and entered the
campaign against a man well known
throughout the county and who has
the four years previous been defeated
Tor the office by only seventeen votes.
Yet Mr. Tucker travelled into every
city village and township of this
county and canvassing with such good
results that when the primary ballots
were counted he had been nominated
by an overwhelming majority
That feat required greater courage
than is common 10 the ordinary man.
Mr. Tucker went personally To- as
many OF the voters as he could reach.
and his pleasing personality his fine

lering and Inconvenience, won him
the respect and the votes OF the cleo

Two years ago. +. w. Redman was
elected County Drain Commissioner
OF Gratiot county He comes before
the people of this county again this
fall and asks for reelection to the
office upon the work he has done i'll

Leaving aside the custom of giving
every faithful office holder two terms,
Mr.. Redman is particularly fitted for
the office He has spent his entire
life i'll Gratiot county and IS naturally
acquainted with the territory all over
the county. He is a graduate of the
civil engineering Department. OF Mich
igan Agricultural college. At the
close OF his college work, he took up
between Grand Rapids and Saugatuc.
Returning to Gratiot county. he was
for eight years county surveyor, spent
live years III the office of drain COM
missioner and on top OF this splendid
experience, Mr. Redman has held the
office of Drain Commissioner for the
past two years. By experience Mr..
Nedfnan is well qualineu.
Some years ago Mr.. Redman pur-
chased farm i'm Arcadia township
where he has since lived and worked.
This experience has brought him into
closer touch with the workings OF
drains and the practical needs of the
farmers.
| The record of Mr.. Redman during
the past two years is remarkable He
has put through several large drains
in the county and many smaller ones
of large magnitude He has done this
to the satisfac ton of the people de.
spite the very heavy rainfall of the
last two years. So satisfactory has
his work been, that but one Board Of
Review has been called, which is
without precedent in the history Of
