POLITICAL ADVERTISING
FOR JUDGE OF PROBATE.

To the Enrolled Voters of Gratiot
County:
Having been asked whether there
might not be complications in the
settlement of some of the estates
now being probated that would be
difficult for me to handle, if nomin-
ated and elected,
| answer, "NOW
The Probate Court is a court OF
Record, that is, it is a court in which
every valid act must be in writing,
and recorded, so that the work can
be taken up at once by the newly
elected Judge and carried forward to
completion. He has only to look
up the record in any case to know
exactly what has been done. for any
act not recorded is not a legal act at
all; it is nullity and without force.
Complications then can only arise
from anything done not of record.
AS there is no reason to anticipate
that any work not of record exists in
our Probate Court, it follows that
there is no reason for anticipating
any serious complications.
A lawyers life work is the solu-
ton of business complications. With
out business complications, there
would be but little law business.
If the people see fit to kindly elect
me to the Probate office for the next
term, | will endeavor to conduct the
office in the most efficient manner,
as economically as it can be done,
and take care of all complications as
they arise
Respectfully submitted.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Mrs. CaIkinS Of Battle Creek, Address.
ed Meeting Last Friday Evening

Last Friday evening at the Metho-
dist church in this city Mrs. L. l..
Calkins of Battle Creek delivered an
address that should have been heard
by every suffraget in the city. Mrs.
Calkins is an earnest forceful speaker
and while her audience was made up
Of six women to every man present
vet she entered into her subject with
a vim and earnestness that held the
close attention of all present.
Mrs. Calkins prefaced her remarks
with statement made some years
ago by Frances Willard, "NeXt to
my desire TO be a saint some day, |
really want to be a politician" Mrs.
Calkins gave Webstcr's definition Of
politics as, Highest of human con
cern," and thought the remark of
Miss Willard was be6tting one OF the
greatest women of the last century.
Mrs. Calkins heaped compliments
upon Chase Osborn for his stand on
the liquor question, especially for his
fight against the brewery-owned sa-
loon and the Michigan Bonding and
Surety Company. The speaker paid
beautiful tribute to the home and
asked "Who knows better than mo-
ther the necessity of protecting the
sanctity and purity of the home" ="
After enumerating many Of the evils
prevalent throughout the state and
nation Mrs. Calkins said, Millions
of men without home and home in
fluences are today deciding what nui-
sances shall be permitted in the
state"
In speaking of the ballot, the
speaker said: "The higher a woman
rises in the scale of humanity the
better you will find her home, spin
ming, baking, dressmaking, millinery,
and scores of other occupations pre-
viously delegated to women have
been commercialized by men,"
Women, in the opinion Of the
speaker were today disfranchised the
same as idiots, animals and lunatics.
The Christian wife, mother or sister
were not considered the equal of the
negro in point of suffrage, "The idiot
can vote in Michigan if it is male
idiot" The right of the ballot is
given the foreigner almost before he
is through being seasick, yet the edu-
Gated woman, the wife, the mother,
is deprived an equal privilege.
Mrs. Calkins said men thought wo-
men too emotional to be granted the
right of suffrage and it caused a smile
to tighten the faces of her hearers
whe she referred to the recent state
convention at Bay City and the Re-
publican national convention at Chi
cago Mrs. Calkins' address of an
hour and a half showed her to be
thoroughly conversant with her sub
ject as we'll as being a woman of
culture, refinement and broad read
ing.
